JACKS POV
As Mark takes his seat next to me, I can feel the tension rising between us. It is as if we are in our own room compared to the class. At least on the other side of me are Dan and Felix, who are looking anywhere but at me. "Good morning everyone," says our teacher, "Today, we shall start programming to create our own virtual reality games. Unfortunately, I do not have enough head sets to go round so I have decided to make this a team in class project!" cheers erupt from all sides of the room.
"Can we pick our partners?" calls a blonde from the back of the room.
"Kind of. You will not be picking and fighting over who you are going to work with, but I am not choosing for you. We will be drawing out names from my hat." He holds his yellow cap in the air. "We're going to go around half the class room and we will draw the names of the other half of students. Every second person please stand and stand in the corner of the room." When I see Felix stand, I stand and walk over to the corner as quick as possible, whilst not looking like an idiot. While the remaining kids write their name down on a piece paper, I'm mostly concentrated on Mark. He writes his name down quickly and hands it to sir. I know I need to talk to him, but I just don't know how. Then I remember; the calculator! But then I remember Tyler. He's gonna want to beat me up again. So I will probably end up unconscious on the ground for a while and the stumble home bloody and bruised. But I'll try. Sir comes over to us and makes us pull a name. It gets to my turn and there are three pieces of paper left. I pull one out of the hat.
Oh doesn't fate love to toy with me, because
Mark is my new partner for the assignment.
MARKS POV
When I hear Jack call out my name to sir, I freeze. My plan to steer clear of Jack has been altered to talking to him almost every day! Oh isn't fate a fucking bitch? I know my apology can't wait till next week, so, when sir isn't looking at the rest of us sitting down; I pull out my phone and type a text.
MARK: hey jack, can u come to my place this afternoon I rlly need 2 tlk 2 u. I also want 2 strt on our project.
I press send as soon as I see the teacher turn back to his desk, and every one walks back to their seats. After learning how to do the basic programming of our games, the bell sounds and everyone leaves. Just a I sit down at our table I feel my phone vibrate.
JACK: sure, I've been wnting 2 tlk 2 u 2.
Great, now I just need to work out what to say.
