Don't Hug Me I'm Scared {Billie Eilish}

{76}✔️

A/N: I haven't forgotten about the Q&A! (& you can keep asking questions!) I'm waiting to post it after I post a few more chapters because after I post it I'm not gonna be updating for a day or two (or at least that's the plan, but we'll have to see because i suck at sticking to my word and I love updating this damn story) so that people can have time to read it before I delete it and start posting more chapters. I'm gonna post it again at the end of the story whenever I finish it, but I'm deleting it next time I update, otherwise it'll throw the chapter numbers off.

"These are your textbooks and workbooks for this semester. I know they're a little intimidating since they're so humongous, but that's just because there's a lot of crap in them." Mrs. East chuckled as she handed out the workbooks. She'd forced Jacob Wesley to help her pass out the textbooks.

"The first chapter is, like, two hundred pages long by itself. It's all about wedding planning. Today is January 13th, and this project is due in exactly one month. That means it has to be done, finished, completed, turned in on my desk by February 13th. This project is gonna take ages for me to grade, so I need it turned in on time if you expect to have your grade in by a decent date. This project accounts for almost half your grade, so make sure you do it. If it's turned in late, points will be deducted, and I don't want that. This isn't a difficult project, there are just a lot of details that you have to think about. This project will take you a long time to complete. Please don't mess up your grade after you've worked so hard on it by turning it in late."

She smiled at me as she put a book on my desk, watching as I practically bounced up and down in my seat. I've been waiting for this project since I got in this class! I love organizing and planning shit, I love details, I love weddings! I'm gonna get the fattest A+ on this!

"I'm allowing you to pick your own partner because I don't want to be bothered with assigning you and because this is such a big project that's gonna take a lot of time and I feel you'll do better if you get to work with someone you actually like. If you can't find a partner, though, I'll be happy to help you find one. Before you guys get too excited, let me say this; Whoever you choose to work with on this project will be the person you have to work with for the next one. The 'My married life' project, where you'll have to pretend to be married. That project is also a month long and will be assigned on February 15th. It'll be complete on March 15th. So, choose someone you can stand to work with for two months. There will be no changing partners, no matter what."

"Wanna be my partner, babe?" Jacob asked loudly as he sat next to me and wrapped an arm around my shoulder. I cringed and shoved him away from me.

"Touch my girl again and I'm gonna punch your ass out." I heard Billie practically shout from a few tables behind us. I sighed and buried my face in my hands. "She's my partner! If anyone looks at her, you're dead."

"Thanks for making that clear, Billie." Mrs. East mumbled before continuing on. "So, what you're gonna do is make a wedding planning book. Buy a nice binder, and fill it up with your wedding plans, basically. I'd like it if you could print off everything rather than writing it. We'll be going up to the library three days every week so that you can print things off if you don't have a printer at home, so no excuses! I'm going to hand you a list of everything that should be in your binder before the end of class. I'm also gonna hand you the grading rubric. Make sure to get a big binder. It might be good to get a hole puncher too, cause you'll need one so you can put all your papers in there. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask...Alright, you guys can pick your partners now!"
