Damaged (lams) [DISCONTINUED]

3: My Partner

John POV
Days pasted and school is boring. Nothing has changed. I'm still small, I suck at everything, I cut everyday, and get beaten up. Nothing has changed.

I was currently in Mr. Washington's class. Of course I was spacing out. The things the teacher were talking about were boring to me. I was looking out the window. It was sunny outside. I didn't see no cloud in the sky. It made me...smile. Turns out that smile didn't last long.
" Mr. Laurens!"
I was snapped back to reality. The whole class was staring at me. Some were trying to hide their laughing. Mr. Washington looked at me. He looked very pissed. Man... how long was I spacing out??
" Mr. Laurens, I'm sure you didn't here your partner's name."

Wait...partner?

" W-What are you talking about?"
He smiled at me.
" You have a project that is due in two weeks. You will be assigned with a partner and will work on it together."

I froze. I hate working with a partner.

" Your partner is...." Washington looked in the binder that he held in his hand.
" Alexander Hamilton."

My eyes widen. Him? Oh no no no no no no no!! It can't be! I was pissed! I looked in the class to see Alexander also looking at Washington. He was also pissed. NO! There is no way I'm working with him. While Mr. Washington was calling other people's names. I raised my hand. He looked back at me and smiled.
" Mr. Washington. Can I please change my partner?"
In the corner of my eye, I see Alex looking at me giving me that " WTF" face. Sorry Alexander, but I'm not working with you.
" I'm afraid not."
I slumped down into my seat.
Fuck.

Alex POV

Why the fuck does he not want to work with me?!? I'm not that bad. Ok..so maybe I mess with him almost everyday, but it's for a reason! I completely disagree with having a partner to a project like this. I don't like working with partners or groups.  Most of the time, we never agree on anything. Since I'm the smart one I just do the projects by myself. Which is fine. I usually get them done in about a day or two.
Class ended and I saw John walk out of the class. I run up to him and pinned him up to a locker. He looked terrified.
" What's your problem shorty?"
" You.."
Now that ticked me off.
" and don't call me shorty."
" Look... you don't have to do the project. I will do everything loser."
He started to laugh.
" Hahahaha! You? Don't worry about it. I'll do it."
I was surprised. I laugh too. There is no way I'm going to let him do the project and ruin it!
" No. I'm doing it!" I lift him up but he doesn't seem scared.
" Alexander. I'm doing you a favor!"

I let go of him. God he's so adorable- I mean annoying!

Yea..annoying.

" Look. I know we hate each other, but we need to work together. Trust me. The sooner we start, the sooner we are away from each other."

Damn he was right.

I sigh.
" Fine. Do you want to meet up anywhere?"
" Umm...we can go to the park. Just anywhere that is not my house.."
" Why not your-"
" Unimportant.."
He blush a little. It was kinda cute...
Ahhhh!!! Alexander!! No! You hate this kid!! He's so small! And he has a bunch of freckles all over his face. I hate him!!
" Whatever. I'll see you at the park at 5."
I push him into a locker that was randomly opened. Hahah!! What a dweeb!
