"Summer has come and passed

Jessica Summers Calling...
Ever since she had texted him saying, "This is my number. Save it-Jessica :D" she had called him eighteen times. Who does that?

There was hardly anything that really interested him but he wasn't willing to spend time, energy and phone calls on a bloody art appreciation project. They could get an F for all he cared. Oh right, he didn't care.

Jacob cut the call, sighed and vengefully changed the contact name to Pain In The Ass. Why, oh why, couldn't he have got paired with some slacker, someone who didn't give a damn about grades? But of course, he had to get paired with the golden girl of the school.
