"Ok Class. As you all know the end of the school year is nearing and because of that we are having a project."
The class groaned.
"Hold your horses. You'll be in a partners."
Yays erupted.
"But I am pairing you up. No unisex pairs. I'm not going to be the cause of any pregnancies."
Groans
Wump. Wump. Was all I heard before I heard my name. Felix. You are paired with Justin.
My breath hitched. Justin was a beautiful boy. He was socially challenged as was I.
"Now that you all have your partners, for the details of the assignment. You will ask your partner questions about themselves. Their hobbies, family life, secrets, fears, worries and such. You will make a funny video containing your gathered information. You have exactly 2 weeks. Class Dismissed. "
I waited for Justin outside of the room.
"Tonight. Your place or mine?"
He handed me a slip a paper with his phone number, address and time that I should arrive. 5pm. That gives me 3 hours.
He smiled at me before he walked away towards the exit of this dreadful high school.
Inside I did happy dance. I always saw Justin but never talked to him. He didn't talk to anyone. But now's my chance.
When I got home it was almost 3pm. My parents don't care about me. I've been working since age 13, to pay the rent of my apartment. It's far from school and I don't have a car, but I'm making it work.
After I took a shower and dressed it was 4:21. Justin lives a half hour away by bus.
Getting my keys I locked up slinging my backpack with my notebook and pens in it over my shoulder.
