After a while, the group slowly stopped attacking each other with the pillows. The boys and girls were all sitting together, but there was a lack of noise in the room. Then, Carly did a little spin and hit Andrew on the head with a pillow.
"Get up ya lazy thing!" Carly said, bouncing around the room, obviously bored from the lack of people having fun with her.
"Knock it off Carly." Katie said, taking a glance at the boys and girls all sitting together. Just then, an idea popped into her head. Katie stood up with a grin on her face, looking at everyone exited.
"Guys guys!" She said, walking into the center of everyone. The guys and girls looked at her puzzled. "We should all do it together! The project I mean." Everyone looked at her, some smiled and others frowned.
"Katie listen," Andrew started to say, looking in her direction. "I barley know any of the girls. Jade, Jessie, and even Carly." Katie frowned, and glanced at the others.
"Whats that supposed to mean? I thought we were friends." Carly said, looking at Andrew in disbelief. Andrew continued to look forward, and didn't say a word.
"But I know Jessie well!" Jake said, his face lighting up.
"But the others don't, I barley know Paulo." Jessie said, looking at Paulo, who didn't care what she said.
"Kinda like how Jade doesn't know me that much." Paulo said, now putting his feet up on the couch, along with the others.
"True true," Jade admitted. "But I know Katie! And Katie knows Andrew!" Then Jade looked off to the side.
"But not me." She said frowning.
"Yeah, I pretty much can't stand you" Andrew said, shaking his head.
"Wow, thanks a lot." Jade said, sitting up on the couch.
"Oh Jessie too." Steven said, glaring in her direction.
"Oh yeah?!" Jessie yelled, now standing in the center of the room. "I'm tired of your stupid immature jokes! How do you think I feel?" She said.
"Yeah!" Carly said. "Paulo what the heck, your always so up tight just let loose!"
"I don't want to!" Paulo yelled across the room.
Everyone started blabbing on about how they all hate things about each other, but eventually, they broke up.
"I WISH WE NEVER WERE ASSIGNED THIS PROJECT!" The girls yelled at the boys. "OR EVEN AGREED FOR YOU GUYS TO COME!"
"FEELINGS ARE MUTUAL!" They yelled back. The boys shook their heads angrily and went back into the lab.
"Jerks." Katie muttered.
