"Alright, class, pick your partners."

Anybody would be lucky to get Emily Winston for the Family project in Home Ec. She had this sort of tuff grace that you had to respect. She was so fluid in her motions and mannerisms that she could fit in practically any crowd. The only reason she wouldn't hang out with other crowds was because she didn't vibe like that with them even though they wanted her around.

I've never seen her seem like she was out of her element, but she came close in this class. We were in a class full of Socs and middle classers. Socs thought they were better than everybody else, and middle classers were annoying, trying too hard to either stretch their money to fit in with the socs or act extra-gangster to fit in with greasers. Emily barely glanced around the room before sighing. I decided to take a chance and ask her to be my partner. The way her face lit up made my heart flutter a little bit.
