Y/N POV

I spent the next week trying to figure out who sent the note. It began consuming most of my thoughts, and during a particularly boring class, I would pull it out and re-read it.

School continued as normal, and everyday Eric and Brianna seemed to be closer. Emotionally and physically. Somedays, I couldn't even get her away from him, she just followed him around like a sheep.

But today (with help of Ally), I finally pried Bri off of Eric.
" Bri, do you know anything about the note?" I asked her.
" No, if I knew I would've told you already!" Bri said as she rolled her eyes. That makes sense, I thought.
IN HISTORY CLASS -------------------
As everyone passed their essay papers to the front, I snuck a peek at Bri's. She wrote half a page! I raised my eyebrow at her, questioning her. "Later." She mouthed. I nodded and look back to Mr. Bins.
" At least most of you have complete the work this time." Mr. Bins said, he seemed to be glaring at Bri. " Today, we will be begin our first proper research projects!" Everyone rolled her eyes, except for Mila. I think she was clapping.
" It will be a research topic of your choice, BUT it will have to be related to the tragic year of 2017. Yes, 2017. No other years, not 2016 or 2018. And you will be in pairs." Mr. Bins added. Everyone perked up . " That are assigned by me." Never mind.
" Keep in mind that this is the BIGGEST project in the semester, so your partner might not be in your class period." Mr. Bins droned. I immediately look at Bri. She shrugged, " we might not be in the same group."
"Don't be such a Debbie downer!" I told her.
As Mr. Bins went down the list, I listened carefully for my name.
" Brianna Bradley and Miles Hurly!"
I stared at Bri. She shrugged again. " You might be with Ally!"
Another ten names were listed before it got to Ally.
" Ally Walker and Zachary Williams!"
I looked at Bri on despair.
" ( y/n) (l/n) and Wilbur Robinson!"
He's not too bad.
AFTER CLASS -------------------------------
No commotion at my locker, that's good.
As I unlocked my locker. My "partner" and his "gang" walked pass. " Wilbur!" I called. He stopped in his tracks and looked at me.
" Yeah?" He asked politely. Jesus, I didn't think people in Eric's gang would be nice.
" Mind if I steal you for a bit?" I asked.
" Sure." He replied, nonchalantly.
Zach snickered. So I glared at him. I felt Wilbur drag me away.
" So? What's up?" He asked.
" Okay, so Mr. Bins partnered us for this huge project about 2017. I know we are in different class periods, but that's just how Mr. Bins set it up." I explained.
" Oh, cool. We should trade numbers, so we can contact each other." He said.
I nodded and wrote my number on his hand.
" Text me later ok?" I asked. He smiled and walked away.
A few seconds later, Ally ran up to me and squealed. " I. SAW. EVERYTHING. DID YOU GET HIS NUMBER? DID HE GET YOUR NUMBER? AHH, TELL ME EVERYTHING!"
" Shut up! It's not a big deal, we are partners for history and I gave him my number." I muttered.
" O. M. G. This means you get to spend more time with him!" ALLY yelled excitedly.
I looked at the direction Wilbur walked off in. " Yeah, I guess so."
TIME SKIP TO HOME -----------------------
As I sat at my table trying to get ideas for the project, I heard my phone buzz.
No point in working if I can't think of anything.
So I picked up my phone and saw that a random number texted me.
RANDOM NUMBER: Hey! It's me, Wilbur.
Ohh.
WILBUR: I was wondering when you wanted to meet up, so we can talk about the project
I quickly typed up a response.
(Y/n): Hi Wilbur! How about the library tmr morning? Before homeroom? Maybe around 8:00 to 8:15
WILBUR: That sounds good👌 cya tmr
(Y/n): byee

I put my phone down. I had butterflies in my stomach. That went well. I think.
I lay down on my bed, thinking about Wilbur. He's not really type.
I drifted off to sleep.
----
A/n: Well, I finally posted! I really don't have an excuse other than procrastination. I know, I'm horrible. I am very very very sorry. But I was going to do a BIG chapter, but I decided it would be better to do it in small pieces. Next chapter will be up soon!
I DO NOT OWN WILBUR ROBINTSON. ALL RIGHTS GOES TO DISNEY.
