chapter 3: partners with the egohead

my jaw dropped. oh fuck it was him again. the annoying and awkward guy i bumped into at the mall. i stared at him with widened eyes and he smirked in response.

"you know, you can close your mouth now. i already know i'm so hot it's jawdropping." he began to flex and kiss his muscles.

"kenneth! stop being so weird," tati said, "you're making our new friend seem out of place."

ahh, so the rude guy had a name. he did have a nice name though, i'll give him that.

"say, bay area girl, care to tell me your name? or should i just annoy you til i finally get it?"

i rolled my eyes. "my name is jeanne walker, now get the fuck out of my way so i can go to my class."

"ooooo ken you just got burned," everyone around me exclaimed. i smiled, knowing i was able to get a good response out of everyone.

"jeanne, i forgot to introduce you their names. here's bailey, will, josh, gabe, sean, and kaycee. and it looks like you already know kenneth."

i smiled at them and said hi again. they all seemed pretty nice, so why not? might as well give them a chance.

the bell rung and we all said our goodbye's. i looked around and saw no one was walking the same way as me. or at least thats what i thought.

i heard footsteps approaching me. i turned around only to find the devil himself, kenneth. i huffed and turned around, only to walk faster.

"hey jeanne, wait up." 

although i was mad at him still for embarrassing me like that, i decided to forgive him. if i wanted to be in his friend group, i have to treat him nice right?

"look, i'm sorry for what happened. can we redo our introduction?"

i simply nodded in response. "i'm jeanne walker, nice to meet you."

"i'm kenneth san jose, i hope we can be great friends." he looked at me and gave me a genuine smile. i'm not going to lie when i say i think my heart skipped a beat. its not my fault he was cute!

"what class do you have next kenneth?"

"i have english, what about you?"

"me too! i guess we can become walking buddies." i flashed him a wide grin, and i saw his cheeks turn into a pink color. aww he blushed.

we walked to class in a comfortable silence. when we entered the classroom, all eyes were on us. i was so confused. was it because i was new?

"who is that?" "oh my god kenneth is with a girl!" "ugh i wish i was her."

i became even more confused. they were staring at me because of kenneth? their whispering made me even more nervous. "what a great way to start the day," i thought to myself.

"don't mind them, they're just my fangirls." i scoffed in response. how egotistical was he?

i sat down on the back row. i really wasn't trying to get everyone's attention and be talked about as the "new girl." i was secretly hoping that kenneth would sit next to me, but i was only someone he's known for a little bit. why would he want to sit next to me?

i looked around and saw him seated next to a girl. it was obvious she was pretty and probably really popular. she had long, light brown hair that went down to her waist. she was in a denim skirt and a white off the shoulder top. and not to be creepy or anything, but she had a nice body as well. she had boobs and an ass, whereas i just had hips. they looked like such a good pair. i turned around and focused on the incoming teacher.

"okay class! listen up. we're starting off this semester with a project. we are going to focus this with writing. with you and your assigned partner, you are going to simply create a story with a genre the two of you agree with. the assigned list will be on the door. please check it when the bell rings."

the lesson was so boring. was it even considered a lesson when it was just my teacher, Mr. Harris, talking about himself?

the bell rang, and students began to scurry out. i packed up my bags and went outside to look at the list. "i hope it's kenneth that's my partner," i silently said.

i wasn't even halfway there when someone tapped me on the shoulder. "miss walker, looks like i'm stuck with you again."
