Chapter 8

Lunch came and went and the end of the day was nearing. Me and all of my friends were in this class. The sad part we had assigned seats already in place. So I was away from Derek, Lex, Syd, Kat, and Alex. I have to admit the teacher was smart he placed us all apart from one another. So far his lecture was about the stuff we've heard about six times already. I tuned most of it out. finally the teacher said something that caught my attention.

"Now for the first assigment of the school year you will have to work with a partner," He told the class. Everyone started to look to their friends and nodding. "Now I will let you chose your partner but please chose carefully. You will be working on this assigment for the rest of the semester. Alright you have five minutes. Go!"

Everyone immedietly got up and searched for friends or smart people. I stayed seated where i was and looked around. I didn't need to look. I already knew that Lex and Kat would be partners since they where friends from pre-school. Syd and Alex where together as best friends. Me? Well I knew Derek would come over and take a seat by me.

The crowd thinned as people agreed with others who would get who. I saw Derek get up and make his way towards me. I smiled at him and gave a small wave. I turned to my bag to get a notebook and a pencil to take notes on what we had to do. I then saw a pair of shoes that where not Derek's. I looked up and saw the biggest slaker in the school, Kyle. I glared at him.

"What do you want Kyle?"

"I want you to be my partner since all your friends are taken," he flashed a flirtacious smile.

"Um no I can't. I already have a partner," I told him with a smug smile.

"Yeah and who is that?"

"Me," My saviour said behind him. "Now why don't go and find someone else?"

"What ever there are other classes i can have her in." He walked away and went to the new girl and started to flirt with her. Apperently she didn't already have a partner. Finally the teacher told everyone to stand at the front of the class. There was a groan but everyone made it there. He told us he would call us one at a time and then we had to tell him our partnerand then find a seat. The first names called where those of my friends and a few other smart people. He then called my name. I told him that Derek was my partner and I moved to the back corner. My friends secretly moved to where we were. The last of the names where called and everyone had a new seat.

"Okay now these are your seats for when I am here," The teacher siad," Now the assigment is that you and your partner will be researhcing a time in history or a recent decade. You will then have to dress from that time as both a male and female and talk about what is was like to live in that time. You will then have to talk about events that where happening as if you where having a conversation using the slang or language." He looked at the class. Some of the class looked a bit excited but others looked tired and wanted the day to be over. I was happy about this assigment. It sounded easy enough and we had a whole semster to work on it.

"I have a question." A student said. It was the sport girl. She was always doing sports.

"Ask away." The teacher replied.

"Will we get to pick the time on our own?"

"No but you will chose. You will chose from this hat," He held a football helmet filled with pieces of paper. "Now I will give you a sheet with the full assigment before class ends. Until then you will have time to discuss with your partner." With that he went around the room groans or little shrieks of exciment following him. He got to Syd and Alex and they both siad yes and high fived each other. Kat and Lex did the same thing. We where last and had three choices. I reached in Derek's hand over mine. I giggled and took one. I looked at it. It read: The 1990's. I looked at Derek and showed him. He shrugged and smiled at me. It was pretty recent so there would be a lot of things out there. "Okay now you may discuss with your partner."
