Finally, ninth periods had arrived.

I walk into chemistry with Joseph.

Right as we walk in the class, the bell rings.

Another 4o minutes of torture.

"Alright class, I will be assigning you to a lab partner," the teacher announces.

I mentally sigh.

I hope I get to be with Joseph.

But I'll bet that's not happening.

I look around the room, seeing who else is in the class.

And that's when I see him.

The boy I bumped into.

He sees me too, and we make eye contact.

I look away when I hear my name being called.

"Molly Benson will sit here, and Asher Smith will sit here." Says our teacher.

I look around and try to see who is coming towards the lab table.

And that's when I see the boy I bumped into walking this way.

I guess his name is Asher.
