( POLAR OPPOSITES )by zacharydempsey

READER'S POV

He was the captain of the school's basketball team, I was the student body president. He was often involved in after-school detention, I was always involved with extracurricular school activities. He was the class clown, I was the class nerd. He had girls running after him, I had boys running away from me. He was 6foot3, I was 5foot7.

I could probably go on with this list but I'm assuming you already catch my drift. We were polar opposites, which was why when our Media teacher chose us as partners for our upcoming media project, I couldn't help but complain to him after class. Of course he stood by his decision and I was stuck with Zach Dempsey for a week.

Monday after school

"So, what is the project all about again?" Zach asks me while spinning on his desk chair like a 5 year old.

"Can you stop doing that please, my head's starting to spin now." I say as I rub my forehead with my eyes shut. A soft sorry escapes his lips as he stopped.

"Mr. Andrews said I have to do a profile about you, and you have to do the same for me. We can use any media we like as long as we're creative with it. I'm planning on doing a powerpoint." I reply as I go through my notebook.

"I guess I'll just do a documentary, it's the easiest thing to do and I'm pretty good at video editing." he says as he looks up at the ceiling.

"Alright, fine, let's get started then." I suggest and we both get to work. I take a blank piece of paper from my binder and start interviewing him.

"So Zachary Dempsey, would you care to tell me some of your interests, your hobbies, likes and dislikes?" I ask him while clicking my pen.

"Interests: basketball, hobbies: basketball, likes: basketball, dislikes: the color orange, although funnily enough that's the color of the ball." he answers and I roll my eyes at him.

"Zach, I already know that you like basketball. I need other information." I reply.

"Oh, so you want to get to know me better, eh?" he retors with a smirk growing on his face.

"Not known for his modesty." I mumble to myself as I write it down my blank piece of paper.

"You need to chill Y/N, I was just kidding." he says as he leans back on his chair and laughs. I exhale deeply and proceed with asking the questions for his profile.

"For the second time, please tell me some of your interests, your hobbies, likes and dislikes." I say.

"Interests? Basketball, playing video games, hanging out with friends. Hobbies? Basketball–" he starts then laughs after saying basketball for the second time as he shakes his head. We got a comedian over here.

"Watching TV, listening to music." he continues and I write down what he says.

"Likes? I like the ocean and animals; marine life to be more specific. I like brussel sprouts, my little sister hates them. I like playing chess, I'm currently teaching my sister how to play it." he adds and I try to hide the growing smile on my face by keeping my head down. Who would've thought someone like him has such a soft side? I never would've expected the great ladies' man and star athlete to actually like the ocean and animals. Not to mention he adores his little sister too.
