"Okay, class, so today I am going to announce the project partners I assigned you all for the project I told everyone about earlier this week..." The teacher loudly said, bringing the folder around her arms up to her eyes. I yawned in bore as I stared at the woman from the back of the classroom. "Alright... so please talk to me if you are having a serious issue with your partner, I will not tolerate foolishness. This is a very big project so I expect all of you to do highly."

Miss Arthur was probably the most strict and honest teacher I have ever met. She was my english teacher as well-- which was kind of my weakness, which made the class even worse. I sighed when I heard a variety of familiar names around the room. I completely blanked out until I heard my own name.

"And lastly.... [Y/N], you are with Hyun." She announced, looking directly at me. I scanned the entire room until I came in contact with a pair of crimson eyes, only to look away immediately. My face heated up a bit.

I could feel tension in the air. The class was staring at me, but mostly girls whose eyes were full of envy. I never really had any interest in Hyun-- or Zen as what most people called him, but I also never really saw why he was such a big deal around the school. It's easy to say he's extremely attractive, but other than that, he is simply just another human being.

I wrinkled my nose and placed my elbow on my desk to rest my chin against my palm. Miss Arthur decided to go over the project again, and lectured us for a good ten minutes. Until then, she assigned us to go talk to our partner until the period was over. I looked over to his direction, and gulped. He wasn't moving from his desk, so I decided to pick up my books and walk to his direction. He was easy to spot from the crowd because he was abnormally beautiful. I wondered if his parents were both as attractive as he was.

I shook the thought off and finally reached him. I tapped his shoulder from behind since he didn't seem to notice my presence. He turned his back, facing my direction. He smirked.

I pursed my lips and told him, "Hi... I'm your partner.. [Y/N]." I saw him smirking at me, so I felt kind of uncomfortable.

He noticed this and decided to keep it on, "Right.. Lucky you."

I scoffed in annoyance. It's been a matter of 10 seconds and I could tell he had a huge ego. "Lucky me," I agreed, my voice full of sarcasm.

He had opened his mouth to say something, but the sound of our school bell vibrated through out the entire room. I flashed him a grin, "See you tomorrow."

"Of course..." He replied, leaning down to pick up his books.

I made my way out the door to rush to my next class and lightly chuckled at myself. When I got to my class, I took my usual seat. I took out my phone to find a few texts from my friend, Willow.

Ughhhh science is so boringggggg

Please text me back before i fall asleep

This is gonna be a long day....

I snorted at her texts and typed out a simple answer.

You need to pay attention in class missy

I turned my phone off, and hid it in one of my pockets to hear the school bell ring again. The math teacher stood up from his desk and greeted us with a "Good morning, class. Please take out your homework from last night."

I reached down to my binder to grab a few papers, and then placed them on my desk. Suddenly, the door squeaked open, to see a familiar silver haired guy with the same crimson eyes from last class. I mentally face palmed. I genuinely forgot he was in this class since he ditched it so often. I exhaled and brought my eyes to my paper so he wouldn't notice me.

I could tell the teacher was just as annoyed. His eyebrows were furrowed, as his arms were crossed. "Well if it isn't the infamous Zen."

The albino flashed his signature smile, "I'm glad to be back, Mr. Hall."

Mr. Hall let out a huff, and rubbed his forehead with his palm. "Whatever.. just take a seat. Make sure you see me after class..."

I looked around me to see if there were empty seats, and praised the lord to see that there weren't any. I sighed in relief, as I watch him take a seat from across the room. I didn't even realize how tense I was over this. Taking a deep breathe, I tried focused on my work the entire class.

I dug my hand into my pocket where my phone was, feeling it vibrate. Glancing at my teacher, I gritted my teeth and quickly sneaked it out of my pocket. I mentally rolled my eyes when I saw more texts from Willow.

T_T where were u

I was in desperate pain

What kind of friend r u

I looked up to see Mr. Hall writing on the chalkboard so I began typing.

you seriously need to stop texting in class or your going to get in trouble;;;

i take that back, you're going to get /m e/ in trouble ;;;

I turned the phone off and placed it in my pocket once again. Mr. Hall's lectures were just too long. I could even see Zen yawning at the corner of my eye. I chuckled silently since I found it kind of cute. I brought my head upwards to look up at the clock, seeing it was almost the end of the period. Thank the gods...

Finally, Mr. Hall made the great decision to ask a question to the class to see if they were paying attention or not. I clearly wasn't because I swear I felt like I was about to fall asleep. Unfortunately, no one raised their hand.

"No one?" Mr. Hall inquired, rubbing his chin. "Okay, I might as well pick someone random if that's what you guys want...."

I slumped down in my chair and looked at the floor to avoid the teacher's gaze. Please don't ask me...-

"Ah, Miss [L/N]! Care to tell us the answer?"

Goddammit.

I stifled out a laugh and straightened up my posture. "Uh, well...." I managed to choke out, face reddening. I saw him tilting his head at me, eager for an answer. I sighed, "I don't know."

His eyes were full of disappointment. "Well since even my star student can't answer this...." His voice trailed off. "Class dismissed, except for you, Hyun. Have a good day, all of you."

I picked up my books, speed-walking to the door so I could just get out.
