"Why do you treat me this way?" I asked softly. He looked shocked by the question, but then his facial expression softened. "Because...I like you." He mumbled. "What?" "I like you!"

I sat in my science class listening to the teacher talk about some project we were doing with partners. We had to take something both of us were into and somehow make it into one. We had to use some chemicals or something, I don't really know.
"In this assignment, I'll let you choose partners."
All my old friends were in this class and the reason I don't talk to them anymore is because I realized they were always putting me in bad situations. I cut them off, and I used extra sharp scissors.
Everyone quickly chose their partners, and I still sat in my chair. There was one person left, and his name was Kingston.

He and I never really talked, but I know he's friends with some of my old guy friends. I went over to him and sat down next to him.
"What?" He asked with an attitude.
"You're the only person left to be partners with." I said with an attitude matching his.
He looked around and saw that everyone else had partnered up and he sighed dramatically. "I don't really like you, Layla."
I rolled my eyes. "I barely ever talked to you, Kingston."
"But I heard things. Not so pleasing things."
"And? I heard things about you too."
"Name one." When I couldn't answer because he literally never has anyone talking about him. "I'll give you one. I'm crazy." I guess he saw the confusion on my face so he continued. "Not crazy crazy, but I hurt someone."
"Hurt how?"
"That's a story for another day. Let's just go to the teacher and tell him we're partners."
I eyed Kingston as he walked ahead of me. If I got a crazy partner, best believe I'm dipping. I won't even care about the grade, I'm not tryna be with someone who hurts people. Must be out ya' damn mind.
We were sitting at the table in silence. I can't tell if he's just an awkward person, and can't come up with a conversation on the spot or if he's shy.
"So...how about we get to know each other, before the project?" I suggested.
"How about we do the project and not talk to each other ever again?"
"With your attitude, I'll never wanna talk to you again so I like your idea."
