I was at my locker getting my books for today's classes when I saw my girlfriend approach me. "Hey baby" she kissed me on the lips. "Hey Amy" I said pulling away from the kiss after that we went to class.
I had history with Amy as first period. Most people were dozing off, Amy inclusive. I rolled my eyes at them turning to face the teacher as he explained today's topic.
The period was over as the bell rang and everyone sprinted for the door. It was a jam of students. I walked out once the door was free of students. Amy approached me "What do you have now?" she asked.
"Arts. Why?" I asked. "Ugh! I have music" she said. "Why are you frustrated? You like music" I smirked. "I know but I'll miss you" she pouted. I pecked her on the lips "Sorry baby but you have to get to class" I said pushing her off to the direction of her next class
"Love you" she yelled over her shoulder, I grimaced. 'Why must she yell?' I walked to arts class to find Miss Smith talking in her usual calm voice almost depressing, reminding me of Professor Trelawney in Harry Potter. "Alright everyone today is based on practicals. We're making clay pots. Get a machine and some clay in the big bowl there and begin" she said pointing at the big black bowl at the back of the class
I rolled up the sleeves of my plaid shirt walking to get some clay. I found a machine and began molding. It was quite easy for me provided my Grandmom thought me how to when I was young. Though it usually turned out messy, the results were very promising.
I chuckled remembering what my Grandmom would say when she found everything messed up. I missed her so much. Her death left a mark on everyone, me being the most affected as she was the closest to me in the family. I wasn't normally like this but after she died I became quiet. I wasn't as jovial as I was; She was the only person I could fend my problems to but now that she's gone I keep everything to myself
Not even my parents know what I'm going through emotionally and I'd like to keep it like that, as my Grandma would say "Trust no one", and that's what I'm doing. I don't trust anyone enough to tell things to. Not even Mace, my bestfriend, knows all my secrets or anything I'm going through
I was cut of my thoughts when I heard my name being called "Jace". I hummed at no one in particular, looking around the class for the person who called me. "Jace" the familiar voice of Miss Smith called out. "You called?" I asked stopping what I was making
"Let me see you for a moment" she beckoned me over. I stood up from the stool, over to her. "What's the matter?" she asked. "What do you mean?" I asked. "You seem a little down. It seems your mind is clouded" she said
"No, nothing is wrong Miss Smith. Thanks for caring" I smiled. "Anytime and remember if you ever need someone to talk to I'll be here" she said patting my shoulder then walked away.
I sighed, walking back to my stool when the voice com out in the hall screeched.
"Attention everyone, All Grade 12 students should report to the gymnasium immediately. I repeat, All Grade 12 students report to the gymnasium immediately" the voice of our school principal said
Murmurs filled the atmosphere of the class. "Alright students as you've heard report to the gymnasium" Miss Smith dismissed us. I grabbed my bag walking out the door like everyone did and headed straight for the gym for what was so important
I got to the gym to find the school principal and a chubby short dark skinned man standing beside him. He was wearing a blue suit that had the buttons threatening to burst anytime soon
"Welcome students. This is Mr. Matt he is a representative of Balliel Coorperate. We were thinking to start something new, something exciting for this set of Grade 12 students. We thought and ruminated over it and decided that we would have a project" Mr. Brown, our principal said
Excited murmurs filled the gym, everyone was elated to find out what the project was all about. "I get you're all excited so am I. Now I'm sure you'll be wondering what the project is about, well let me break it down for you. From you all we would pair up students,male and female parents who will have to take care of children. This, you might think is irrelevant but it is to teach you all how to responsible parents when you grow. As my father always say *Teach a child the way you want him to grow, and when he grows he will no depart from it*. This is to teach you how to be responsible parents, to teach to be a responsible adults" he said
Everyone broke to applauds and whistles. Someone rose their hand "How is that going to happen? I mean how will everything be done?" the person asked. "Well like I said you'll be paired up and each given a child or children to take care of, you'll have a house to live in with a month supply of food but after a month you'll look for jobs to feed the family. Basically what your parents do at home, take care of you, work, pay house rents and lots more" he explained
"Where do we get a house?" someone asked. "That is where Mr. Matt here comes in. His company will provided for us vacant houses to use for the project and also vacant jobs for everyone in their company" he explained
"When do we start this?" someone asked. "Tomorrow. You'll all go home to pack your belongings, don't worry we've sent mails to all your parents, and get back here tomorrow before 6am" he said
Everyone nodded, agreeing to the plan. "Wonderful. Now please go for your classes,the list of the paired students will be called out by your teachers" he dismissed us. I left the gym not knowing if I should be happy or sad, I guess neutral.
"Did you hear that Jace?" I heard my buddy Mace say, draping his arm over my shoulders. "Yeah I did. It's cool" I responded heading to my next class which I had with Mace, maths. "Just cool? It's fantastic. I hope I can find a girlfriend by this" he smirked as I rolled my eyes. "Girls will be the death of you" I said. "How I wish" he sighed
I sat on my usual seat in Maths class as Mr. Joyner read the list of the paired up students.
Alfred Watson and Jade Corner
Jack Brown and Alayna Scout
Saul Perkins and Lizzy Greene
Carl Silver and Elle Kosarin
Amelia Simmons and Jace Norman
And I stopped listening, fortunately I was paired up with my girlfriend so there was nothing to worry about
Riele's POV
I was in English class when I heard Jace being paired up with his girlfriend. Ugh! I was hoping I get paired up with Jace at least I would be able to impress him but no he had to be paired up with his girlfriend. Why is life so frustrating?
Mace Black and Riele Downs
I rolled my eyes 'who's the loser anyway?'. I shook my head trying to think of a way to get close enough to Jace. But how? I tapped my feet on the floor impatient. 'You just have to wait' my inner hoe reasoned as I rolled my eyes at it
School was over and I was in my house, specifically my room facetiming Ella and Lizzy
E: Who did you get paired up with?
L: Saul Perkins. I've been having a crush on him for a while I hope this can get him to notice me
E: How about you Rie?
R: Just some loser named Mace Black, do you know who he is?
L: Yeah, he's that guy that follows Jace around
R: Hold up, you mean Jace Norman?
E: Yes. Mace Black, he is Jace's bestfriend. I see them together all the time
R: Ok thank you. Good night and see you tomorrow
I hung up before they could say anything. Jackpot! Mace Black is my ticket to Jace Norman. I smirked 'This will be so easy'
And with that I fell asleep comfortably
