The Dog Beside Her

Chapter 6☆

Alexis's POV

"Now that we're here, give me back my highlighters,��?I frowned as I stuck out my hand.

"What highlighters?��?he asked innocently.

I jabbed him in the ribs. A look of grimace and pain. Yeah man. He then took out the highlighters and as I stretched out my hand, he took it and kind of twisted it. Pain.

��?How did you do that?��?I shook my hand in pain. "I'm a strong person, duh,��?he smirked.

What's with boys and their smirking?

About 5 minutes later, the English teacher finally made her appearance. 10 minutes late.

"Okay class, for the upcoming summer holidays I have a pair project for all of you!��?

The class cheered at 'summer holiday��?and groaned at 'project��? I groaned too. First of all, it is a project and that really wastes time and secondly its pair work so I can't work with both Jasmine and Cheryl! "And you will be working with your table partner. Basically, you will have to interview each other on any of the 2 topics here so basically it is up to the both of you. Then from the interviews, you will write down an essay, 4 pages long ,��?she continued. Pause. I have to work with Benjamin?!

NO WAY IN CRAP.

"Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy you? The essay thing is fine, but you?��?I glared at Benjamin playfully as the English teacher gave out the handouts. He chuckled,��?Guess I will still be able to see you during the 3 month long holidays! I can't wait!��?A show of mock happiness.

Looking at the handout, the 2 topics as follows:

Interests and likes

Family

"Hey it actually looks easy!��?I commented. I looked at Benjamin. His face looked lost.

"Are you okay?��?lt;/p>

He snapped out of his thoughts. "Yeah why?��?

"Oh, never mind. You looked lost.��?lt;/p>

Benjamin's POV

I just hope that Alexis doesn't choose the topic on family.
