history.

my favorite class.

however, it wasn't my favorite class because of the people. i had no friends there sadly. i liked it because i got to learn about GENGHIS KHAN.

our teacher had just rearranged tables. yikes.

i got put next to this one annoying girl who wouldn't stop calling me adrien (sitting diagonal from me), this rude guy that was friends with the girl and stanned logan paul (was across from me), and this other kid with blackish hair who i didn't know anything about (sitting right next to me).

"alright you guys," Ms.Burtenheinz called from the front of the class, "introduce yourselves and include a fun fact about yourself."

the annoying girl went first while the logan paul guy was on his phone.

"i'm helen, but you can call me hel!" 

i couldn't help but laugh. apparently the kid next to me felt the same way.

helen angrily stared at us, "shut up adrien! you too jacob." 

"my name's not ja-" 

helen didn't care as she cut the black haired kid off, "and one of the many many interesting facts about me is that i love my boyfriend so much! you guys know my boyfriend right?"

i shook my head.

"his name's hector? he's really popular," she explained.

the black haired kid shook his head.

"doesn't ring a bell," i mumbled.

"UGH." helen grunted, "FINE. your turn!" 

she snatched the logan paul kid's phone out of his hand and slammed it on the table.

"hi," he murmured, clearly not affected by what helen had just done, "my name's bret and i'm a youtuber. you should subscribe to me. my channel's called supremesavagebret1997." 

the kid next to me and i couldn't help but laugh.

"UGH." helen hissed, "alright adrien! since you have so much to say, then why don't you just introduce yourself next."

i nodded, "gladly. my name's actually arin, contrary to popular belief. also, for the fun fact, uh, I CAN'T WAIT TO LEARN ABOUT THE MONGOLS."

"OH MY GOD ME NEITHER!" he exclaimed, "i'm junhui by the way. i guess that's my fun fact too."

i smiled at him as our history teacher called for everyone's attention.

"SO YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING WHY I SET YOUR DESKS UP IN GROUPS!" she called, "You are all working in groups of four to make a presentation about the mongols! i've put the instructions on my website."

junhui and i both exchanged excited glances.

"YES!" we both screamed.

helen rolled her eyes, "ugh. nerds."

helen and bret both pulled out their phones while helen narrowed her eyes at us, "i hope you guys realize that you'll be the only ones who are actually gonna do this project, right?"

junhui nodded, "i figured. i wouldn't want someone as dumb as you to be doing a project which affects my grade anyway." 

helen scoffed, "well then."

jun and me exchanged numbers and made plans to work on the project in the school library after school ended.
