"Damn it, I have to sit next to pretty-boy Fields, this day just keeps getting better and better.
I quickly make my way towards the desk next to the cocky legend, sit down, and take out my pencil and binder wishing only to learn about chemistry and not have to exchange words.
"You smell like anger and regret"
I ignore him, but also can't help thinking about how right he is, I really was regretting the decision to take AP Chem. Grayson Fields is famous for his glowing smile that could get any girl into bed, his incredible talent for football, and his ability to smoothly talk his way through anything. He is considered a God among the student body because he has a gift. No, more than a gift, the supernatural ability to charm-speak, given to him from the holy Gods above, Allowing him to be able to talk his way through any situation whatsoever. His ability to smooth-talk teachers and adults is unnerving. I know this seems like such a weird thing to be awed by, but for a high schooler to have this pays off handsomely. I am 99% sure he uses it to get girls in bed with him as well.
....And now I have to sit next to this guy for the rest of the year....barf."
