This is my first story (on this app) so please don't judge, I'm writing off the top of my head so there's probably a lot of mistakes. Idk y but I thought I'd make it all gender neutral and wait to see what your version of "Mackenzie" looks like. I hope you like it. *realises no one will ever see this* :)

"And that's is why you never mix chlorine and..." the voice of Mr Barn droled on and on like a dripping tap yet to be switched off. Nothing he said was sinking in, but your mind was far from asleep.

"Wrong," Mr Barn replied sighing "i think you could learn a thing or two from (YN)" No, no, no. You knew where this was going. That stupid school policy where students were sat next a smart student to 'learn a thing or two'.
Your stomach filled with dread and you could feel the anxiety kicking in.
No.

"Mackenzie, go and sit over there, next to (y/n)" ...
