As I walked into my social studies classroom, I felt my heart beat a little faster. Jungkook is in this class- along with one other class, English. Jenna waved me over to sit by her.

"I don't know if you were listening to me on the bus," she said and laughed as I attempted to make an innocent face, "but we're starting a project today. We work in groups of two, but the teacher chooses our partners."

"I hope my partner is at least half decent," I said.

"But you might get to work with Jungkook!" Jenna threw a glance over at him.

"I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing."

"Of course it's a good thing, you like him!" Jenna said, rolling her eyes, just as our teacher, Mrs. Schneider walked into the classroom.

"Class, we are going to start a project about Ancient Egypt in pairs," she started.  I could see everyone making eye contact with who to work with, but I knew we wouldn't have the choice.

"I have a list of randomized names, so whoever you are put with is your partner."  The whole class groaned.  I wanted to groan along with the class, but I was anxious to see who my partner was.  Mrs. Schneider read the names off her list.

"Amy and Ben, Jenna and Erin, Jessica and Andrew, ..... Irene and Jungkook."

My heart skipped a beat.  Did I hear the teacher wrong?

"Oh my gosh, you got paired with Jungkook!" Jenna exclaimed.  She seemed so happy for me, but I thought I could faint.  I could feel myself overheating.

"You will have the whole hour today and tomorrow to work on it," Mrs. Schneider said.  Students started to get out of their seats to get with their partner.

"Good luck," Jenna told me before she left.
