Transformation

Chapter 5: Breaking gender rules

It's Monday morning, and I'm walking into school. I feel so tired, because I was texting Jess all night. She was telling me how much of a - *cough* female *cough* dog - her roommate was.

Apparently, Amanda Green who is Jess' roommate, is a rich and sassy girl who sleeps around with different boys every week. She is known as 'QueenBee' because of all her fake tan, platinum-blondish-whitish-hair which has grown pass her bum, bright baby blue eyes, and full pink lips. Any boy would want to eat her.

Jess and I stayed up until 3:17am talking, which pissed Jayden off a lot. He grabbed the phone off me loads, he swore when I was about to speak (and Jess heard it), he took away my bed sheets that was above me, and he even poured cold water on me again.

I am not scared of him anymore. Well, maybe a little. But he is much different than he used to act. "Young age is always different to the person in the future." is said by my Mom.

So yeah, that is why I'm so tired. Talking all night is nice though.

It's English right now, and the class is buzzing with excitement. We are going to have a double lesson, because of the 'compulsory' project. Mr Hunter hasn't arrived yet, and I am the only person  (I'm sitting at the front corner) who is not talking. I really need to make some new friends.

"Hey, hey! Can you guys settled down please?" Mr Hunter enters with a confused expression. "You are so loud. I could hear you from down the corridor."

Some students mumble a quiet "Sorry", and then Mr Hunter smiles.

"Now, I'm going to start telling you all about this project right now, because I want to give you a headstart before any of the other classes. This project is going to last for two months, and it is going to be your starting grade for this year." Everybody was quiet and listening.

"It is going to be done in pairs; male and female. I am doing this because I think that mixing the same gender together is too frequent, and that it is starting to become somewhat of a rule nowadays.

"So, I have assigned every girl with a boy already. So, let me read out the names, and then I will start to explain properly." Mr Hunter reads out alot of students names together, and then suddenly he stops.

"That is it for now." A few hands raise up, and then he laughs. "Just kidding! Now, I have been told by some staff that some rooms are shared by different genders. I have decided that since you guys already know each other, why don't you be partners? It is final, so I just want everyone to..."

Mr Hunter's voice fades away. What the hell is happening? This teacher must be mad. PARTNERS WITH JAYDEN? It can't be. It won't be. Being partners with Jayden is the last thing I'll do on this earth.

Somehow, my eyes catch with Jayden's for the first time today. Since last night, we have been avoiding each other.

We both freeze in our positions. Then his gaze hardens and he looks away. His hand shot up like a rocket launching. Mr Hunter's head turns to Jayden's direction.

"Yes Jayden?" Mr Hunter asks."Can we please just pick our partners? Like working with a girl is bad enough, but not even getting to choose who the girl is is highly unfair." Many other boys shout in agreement.

Mr Hunter growls. "You kids better grow up quick. Life is not always fair you know. You don't just get everything when you want to. And Jayden and Clara, do as everybody else did, sit next to each other. Your permanent seats, like I said, now." Wow. Nobody has seen him so angry before. The class was silent in amazement.

I look around, and notice he is right. A lot of people have already moved around. Somebody is standing next to me, waiting for me to move. Next to Jayden. At the back. Permanent seats? This is maddening.

I stand up and walk slowly towards the empty chair near Jayden.  I sit down gently, thinking that he may have done something to it. He glares, then turns his back to me. I do the same, but minus the glare. Who knows what shit he could do to me?

The world must really hate me. This is all a stupid joke. Tell me I'm dreaming, right?

But you aren't Clara. Yes, I am fricking not. God dammit.

A/N:

Hey guys! I'm am so sorry for the late update. I was going to update this morning but my WiFi went off, then I was really busy because it was one of the members of my family's bday.

Sorry.

So yeah, I think it is a short chapter. I'm not sure. I haven't really proof proof read so they may be some mistakes. Sorry!

I kinda don't really like deep swearing, so sorry if you like books with mouthfuls😘. Unlucky.

Now, what do you think will happen next? Do you have any ideas of what the project might be? If you do, please comment so I can see your guesses.

Please drop a star on every chapter. Love y'all! Bye 😘❤️🌼 DebzOnly
