"Okay guys, settle down!" My history teacher prompted.

"Today we're gonna start a new project about Ancient Egypt. I will assign you a partner and a topic, it'll be due next Thursday and we will present on Friday. Any questions?" She looked around the room. When no one answered she walked to her desk and sat at her computer. "Alright. I'll let you know who you'll be partners with in just a sec... lemme just load up this google doc I made earlier."

I bit my nails nervously. I hate partnered projects, I wasn't very good with 1-1 communication with people I don't know well.

As she sat calling out names, I looked around the room as my friends got paired with other people.

"Y/n," I looked at the teacher. "You and Jackson will be working together researching Cleopatra." I looked over at him and sighed. He annoyed me because he thought he was hot shit. All the girls loved him. He got up and slowly walked towards my table.

"Hey y/n," he said sitting backwards in the chair straddling the back. "How're you and t/n?" He ran his fingers thru his hair. Asking about the boyfriend while trying to seduce me. Typical.

"We're fine." I said tersely.

"That's good. So hey, we got Cleopatra huh?"

"Uh, yeah. Let's just get this over with, I hate projects."

"Oooookay, someone is a little cranky pants," he chuckled.

I tried to hide my annoyance and turned on my computer to start researching, when Jackson's hand came into view as he pushed the power button and laughed.

"Hey. Not funny," I said smiling. "For real tho, let's get started."

After class ended I met h/n in the parking lot and told him all about Jackson and how annoyed I was with getting partnered with him while walking to h/n's car.

"I'm just gonna be glad when we're done, I'm stressed out as is and I don't need his narcissistic-ness right now." I got into his car and as he started it and turned the radio on he reached out for my hand. I grabbed it and he started rubbing his thumb against mine.

"Let's de-stress then! I want to play mini golf and go to Taco Bell, you in?" He said pulling out of the parking lot with a grin, glancing my way.

"Yeah, Id love to," I said. "Shoot. Maybe not mini golf, I have to study for a big quiz tomorrow and the project is really stressing me out. But we can go out to eat!"

"Oh okay," he said looking a little disappointed. "Well I can help you study at my place." I thought it over a bit in my head and decided against it.

"I'm sorry, i would love to but you distract me too much." Looking out the window at the browning trees, I saw his reflection. He looked hurt.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He said unraveling his hand from mine and clenching his jaw.

"Oh, please don't take it that way! I was just saying you're so cute and I'd probably get distracted by wanting to cuddle or watch a movie." I rubbed my neck and bit my lips. I hope I didn't upset him.

"Oh. Okay, I thought you meant that you like, hated me or something." He laughed and took my hand back.

"I could never hate you."
