“You cannot change assignments, Ms. Brunner” Mr. Gengrun sighs while flipping through a Rolling Stones magazine.
“But, Mr. Gengrun you don’t understand—“ I start
“I completely understand, I’ve worked with plenty divas in my time”
“No, it’s not that. I know them and not in the celebrity way. They’re old friends and we have a complicated history and it’ll interfere with the work”
“Old friends, huh? What are the odds? That makes this assignment even more interesting. I’m very excited to see how your project comes out. I’m sorry Ms. Brunner but my decision is final”
I want to fight it further but I know it’s no use; I’m stuck with Luke. I sulk out of the classroom and meet Claire who was waiting for me after class. She looks at me expectantly and I solemnly shake my head. I sigh loudly and lean into Claire as she puts her arm around my shoulder as we walk to lunch.
“It’ll be okay, Taylor. I promise it will” Claire consoles me.
We enter the crowded dining hall and my stomach automatically starts grumbling. I grab a sandwich, pay for my lunch and then Claire and I search for a table.
“Taylor!” I hear my name over the numerous conversations. I see Maria waving at me at a table by a window. I lead Claire over to Maria and we take a seat.
“Claire, this is my roommate Maria. Maria, this is Claire from my Studio Arts class” I introduce the two. The two exchange hellos and Maria instantly dives into another one of her infamous one night stand stories.
Halfway through Sean pulls the chair beside me and sits down. He kisses me and rolls his eyes at Maria’s story. I giggle quietly and nudge his arm with my elbow.
“—And that’s why valedictorians are the best in bed. Those Harvard boys are so deprived because of their course load they’ll do anyone” Maria snickers
“I’m definitely partying with you next time” Claire smirks and I gasp. I didn’t think Claire was that type of girl; she looks so innocent.
“Claire wants to whore herself out?” I comment, winking at Claire
“Oh hell yes I do” Claire replies, flipping her red hair over her shoulder
“Ah I like this girl. Anyway, Taylor did you talk to your teacher about getting switched?” Maria asks.
I quickly grab my sandwich and take a big bite. With my mouth full, I mumble, “he said no”
“What?” Sean asks
I swallow slowly, then repeat myself “he uh said no”
“So you still have to work with the Australian, blonde giant?” Sean scoffs
