                             "Getting to know someone and wanting someone to know you are two completely different things."

"Quite everyone!"

Nina Stilinski stands at my side as we walk toward the middle of the room and sat down at our seats. I lay my backpack on the ground and lay back in my school chair.

"Good morning!" Miss Scarlett smiles as she tucks her red hair behind her ear.

I look out the window with dullness in my hazel eyes and stare outside to see that outside matches my feelings: dull. The sky is an ugly color of grey and the clouds matching. Rain pours down on the windows just then and I smile. I always like the rain, it helps me to forget. I turn away form the window when I feel a set of eyes on me. I turn to look at Nina. Nina's brown hair is covering her brown eyes. She wasn't the one looking at me, who was then?

"Can anyone tell me ........." Miss. Scarlett starts to go in detail about the lecture today. I lay back in my seat and start to draw something on my paper that sits in front of me. I was brought out of drawing when I heard my name being called. "Tate, Nina, you two have been sitting together ever since freshman year and now the beginning of junior year." I nod my head not knowing where Miss. Scarlett is going with this. "Both of you could say that you too know each other quite well then?"

I felt a smile grow on mine and Nina's faces, we were both thinking the same thing. We know a lot about each other, more than we should know about each other. I know her like I know the back of my hand. We are almost like long lost sister. I have long curly blonde hair and dull hazel eyes where Nina has straight brown and dark brown beautiful eyes. I'm short where she's tall and all legs.

Miss Scarlett smiled and said: "Actually I bet each and everyone single one of you know your partner like you know yourself. I bet that's why you all picked your seats that way. That's why I made a seating chat." Her smile grew larger as she waved a paper in her hand.

Groans echoed throughout the room.

"It's November, why now?" Someone called out. Nina's head snaps up and her dark brown eyes met mine. Never have we been separated in all the years we have been at Harbor High, until she decided to do so.

"Every partner sitting on the left-hand side of the table-that's your left-move up one seat. Those in the front row move to the back. Nina Stilinski, Cecilia Scott, that means you too."

Nina shoves her notebook into her bag and then picks up her bag off the floor and walks toward the back of the room. I slide farther down into my chair and watch as everyone gets up and walks toward their new seats. I know everyone's name but two, the two transfers. They sit one table back from me and are never called on but they seem to like it like that. Their eyes never met anyone's and they never talk to anyone but each other. I know they always sat there, day after day, staring off into space. They both kind of look-a-like other than the fact that one of them is taller than the other one.

One of them set their book on the table and flopped down into Nina's old seat. I want to say something but my tongue was tied and I know he won't say a word first. So I force them out: "Eh, hi." My voice sounds quite and confused.

He looks up at me and my eyes grow. He has baby blue eyes that look like the cleanest, clearest, ocean and they slice into me. I notice that his blonde hair is nicely styled. The corners of his mouth slide into a dangerous smile. My heart skips a beat because of the feeling of growing darkness covering me. His smile was far from friendly and it just plainly spelled 'trouble'.

"So here is your homework, which is very easy, get to know your new desk pattern. Write about twenty to twenty-five facts about them. It's due tomorrow."
