-A GENERAL RULE: THE ONE WHO GETS ANNOYED FIRST IS THE LOSER-
The professor entered the room, with papers in hand.
"Today, I'm going to assign the pairings for all the experiments this semester. As I call your name, occupy the tables as numbered", he announced as he waved the papers in the air.
"Pair 1: Chris Smith and Alliyah Roberts
Pair 2: Allen Dallas and Janine Andrews", the professor called on, pair by pair.
"Pair 3: Charlie Green and Danna Stein
Pair 4: Brian McLeigh and Emily Jones", the list went on and on as the students occupy the tables in front.
"Pair 5: George Brent and Kelly Sanders
Pair 6: Mike Clark and Tina Warner", I'm already itching to have my name called but I gingerly waited in my seat.
"Pair 7: Jason Grant and Louise Hanes
Pair 8: Archer Connor and Hailey Summers" I stood up as my name was called and made my way to table 8.
I have already sat and yet, nobody is coming forward as my partner. Archer Connor. I have literally no idea who he is, not until he stood up, dumbfounded. He started walking closer to where I am and sat beside me.
"Hey", he called out again.
"Hey", I replied, trying not to sound awkward.
"You're really following me around, huh", he laughed again, showing those dimples.
"You mean 'YOU' are following me", I countered. I could actually sense my temper rising.
"Annoyed already?" he asked as he shamelessly stared at me. "There are still more of these to come."
I sighed. There's no use arguing with this guy. I glanced at him and caught him smiling sheepishly. I give up, for now.
Ugh, I can't believe any of this.
