I looked up to see Connor Murphy standing over me. I moved in my desk before plucking my earbuds out of my ears. He rolled his eyes and looked down at me.

"Uuhh, can I help you?"

"Yeah, it looks like we're partners."

I raised an eyebrow and looked around the room. Our classmates we're shuffling around trying to find someone to work with and the teacher was making his way back to his desk with the assignment sheets. I looked back at Connor who was still standing in front of me but this time he was reading the assignment.

"Uh, okay, I guess you can sit here if you want."

I moved my bag from the desk next to me and watched him fall into the seat. He handed me the paper and started getting his science notebook out of his bag. I read through it carefully and huffed when I saw the due date.

"Did you hear anything he said?"

I stared at the paper for a second before bringing my attention to him.

"What?"

"Did you hear anything he said?"

I slowly shook my head no and tucked my phone into my pocket, letting the headphones dangle down off my desk. He laughed and smacked his desk lightly.

"Well whether you were paying attention or not youre stuck with me. How do you wanna do this project?"

I shrugged and scanned the paper again.

"We could work on it after school?"

He groaned and scooted further into his seat.

"I'll take that as a no?"

"No, I'm already failing this class. How about we do it at your house? You wouldn't like my folks."

I scrunched my face a little bit and tucked the paper into my folder.

"Okay, here's my address and phone number in case you can't find it."

I took his notebook and scribbled it on the last page before handing it back to him and standing up. I swung my bag over my shoulder and peered down at him.

"I'll see you at 5 Connor, don't be to late, we got work to do."

He nodded as the bell rang. This would be interesting.

The doorbell rang making my mother shuffle quickly to the front door. I sat up on my knees to see through the sliding glass door. I pushed the last bit of dirt into the flower pot I was replanting and stood up. Connor came to the door just as I was taking my gloves off and brushing the dirt off my light blue knee length sun dress.

"You garden?"

I laughed a little, picking up the rectangle planter.

"Just succulents."

I set it on the porch table and put water in it before picking it up again.

"Come on, we can work on our project in my room."

He nodded and stepped to the side to let me in the door. When I walked back into the kitchen my mother smiled at me.

"You two want anything to eat?"

I shrugged.

"I'm not really hungry at the moment but I could go for some koolaid. How bout you Connor?"
