18 year old Juliette is just an ordinary girl who has an ordinary life. One day, when she's partnered with a certain boy in her class, whom she doesn't admire much for a school project, she feels that life is against her.
Eventually, her and the bo...
"Juliette, Juliette, Juliette!" Jayda was shaking the life outta me. "What Jayda?" I replied, my eyes still closed.
"You need to wake up!"
"Why?" I was so freaking tired.
"You have school in 10 minutes and mom told me to wake you up."
I quickly opened my eyes and jolted out of bed. "You couldn't have said that before?" Jayda laughed at me while I quickly ran to the bathroom to wash up, and I quickly went over to my dresser to throw an outfit together.

I ran downstairs to grab a banana to eat and I quickly went to go get my book bag that was on the couch. "Have a good day!" mother called at me while she was sitting at the dining room table sipping her coffee. "You too!" I called back after I ran out the door.
School started at 8:30, and now it was 8:40. God, I'm so late. I walked into Mr. Clarkson's class. He was my History teacher and homeroom teacher for this semester. I ran into the room and saw everyone staring at me. "Juliette, I see that you're late today." he greeted. "I'm sorry. I lost track of time." I replied. I hated the fact that everyone was staring. That makes me self-conscious.
"Don't be late ever again." he told me sternly. "I won't, I promise." I answered. I walked over to my seat and sat down next to Naomi, my best friend and partner n' crime. "Where were you?" she whispered to me. "I slept in." I whispered back.
"Well, we have a project that's assigned. And he's your partner." Naomi motioned her head back, signaling that my partner was sitting in front of me. It was the person who always had a black hood over his head and his face was always down, that boy's name is Blade. "Are you kid-"
"Juliette, are you talking while I'm speaking?" Mr. Clarkson asked, while staring at me. "No." I replied. He looked at me suspiciously and proceeded with the lesson.
"You're project is to create a poster about the Civil War." Mr. Clarkson ordered. I rolled my eyes. I hated him sometimes. "You're partner is going to be shown on the board." He went over to the smart-board and turned it on. "You're projects are due on Friday!"
I scanned the board to find my name, and Naomi wasn't lying. I was partners with Blade. I groaned in annoyance and I put my head on the table. "My partner's Ian." she said to me. "Lucky you." I replied. "How did you know that I was going to get Blade?" Naomi smirked a bit. "Let's just say that I might've saw the list while Mr. Clarkson was out during lunch." I couldn't help but laugh at her.
"Go over to your partners now!" Mr. Clarkson announced. "Good luck." Naomi rubbed my arm. I smiled at her, but in reality, I wasn't having it.
I'll tell you the reasons why I don't like Blade:
One: He's mostly rude and he doesn't like it when people talk to him.
Two: I actually tried to be friendly towards him, all I got was the evil look and he told me to "Shut up."
