Avalon ran to her chemistry class and sat down in her seat next to August James. He was the jock of the ninth grade. He had shaggy, jet-black hair, hazel-green eyes, and was fairly tall. He looked mean and just another popular, but he was actually nice and sweet if you got to know him.
"All right class, starting today, we will need to talk about science fair projects coming up," Mrs. Laurel said. The class groaned.
"And also, you will all be working with the person sitting next to you at your table-" before she could finish, some students got up and started to switch seats with others. After about a minute, everyone was seated with the person they wanted to work with. August and Avalon didn't move seats.
"Never mind and if you win the science fair here at school, you'll go onto the next round...um, any questions? Uh, yes, Caitlin."
"Is it mandatory to do this project?" Caitlin asked.
"Yes it is."
"What if we fail?" Caitlin asked again.
"Then you fail the whole assignment." Mrs. Lauren added.
"What if we win and go on to the next round?"
"Then you go onto the next round." Mrs. Lauren said sarcastically.
"What if-"
"Okay, that's enough questions, Caitlin... anymore questions?" Mrs Lauren said in attempt to Cut her off
Caitlin shot up her hand. Everyone laughed.
"No, not you Caitlin, put your hand down...um, yes, Avalon."
"When is this project due?" Avalon asked.
"Um, it's September right now...we're giving you all two moths to do this," Mrs. Laurel said.
The bell rung and everyone got up and exited the classroom. Avalon grabbed her books and she was walking to her locker when someone tapped her shoulder.
"Uh, hey," it was August.
"Oh, hey," Avalon said.
"So, I guess we're partners for this thing?"
"Yeah, I think so."
"So, I'm thinking we should meet up sometime at the library and decide what kind of project we should do?" he asked.
"Yeah, sounds great, when?" she asked.
"Um, how about Saturday at three?"
"Okay, well, I have to go, but um, do you want my number so we can like plan out things?"
"Yeah, sure, I'll give you mine too," he said and grabbed a pen from his backpack and wrote down his number on her arm. She did the same to his arm.
"Okay, um, call or text me, okay?"
"Okay, bye August."
"Bye Avalon," he said and walked away.
She went to her locker and put her textbooks inside before heading to the parking lot and waited for her dad. She saw a familiar tan truck parked, but that's not what angered her. She spotted some of the popular girls HITTING on her dad.
She marched over there and pushed past them and hugged her dad.
"Um, what are you doing Avalon? You don't just hug strangers out of no where," said Caitlin from class.
"Well, I can if he's my DAD," Avalon said.
"Oh," was all Caitlin said.
"Yeah...goodbye," Avalon said and got in the truck with Toby.
