Ring. Bell ring. C'mon ring.
That's all what I thought about at the moment, until I felt something hit me on the face. I sat up straight opening my eyes. To my surprise everyone was looking my way giggling.
"Welcome back" said the teacher.
"Can u pick a number between 1-5?" She asked. I looked down to see what was thrown at me, hmmm, an eraser!
"4" I replied not bothering to ask the reason.
"OK, let's see. Your partner is non other but Mr. Chris" she smiled pointing to a guy to the center part of the class.
I turned around to see who the unlucky person would be, to my surprise it was the same guy I've been running from. Oh my. What now?
"Excuse me! Am sorry but I cant work with this guy, we hate each other" I pleaded, trying my best to look scared so the teacher could reconsider her decision.
"Well guess what 'little miss day dreamer' the two of you better mend things and get my project done!" She said a matter-of-factly.
Lord save me! Not only am I to work on some project that I know nothing about, but also I am teamed up with my nightmare enemy. I said a silent prayer which went like this:
'Heavenly father, gracious lord. I would like to thank you for everything you have done for me. But please lord, please, help me get through this one harm free. Lord I love you. And i know you love me too, so please SAVE ME!. Amen'
I opened my eyes to see my best friend standing in front of me baffled. Did she might have heard me?
"Here, take. Its the project we're suppose to work on." She said handing me a soft copy with a instruction sheet.
"What? You got to be kidding me!" I blurted out. In my hands were the unthinkable. Can you believe we were supposed to do a paper on relationships? How am I supposed to work with someone who has no common sense, far less relationship goals. I continued reading to find out that there was even more unbelievable research to be done. The pair who won this assignment will be given a chance to perform the leading parts with celebrities John Titus and Selena Gonzales in the upcoming theater arts musical.
Wow! I would really love to be a part of this. How will I work with a jerk to get this prize?
" Nerd!" I swirled around instantly only to be inches away from the jerk face. "Heeey, take it easy there" he replied. "Just wanted to ask, when do we begin?"
"Ummm, how about tomorrow? Meet me at the library after school. Don't be late!"
With this I stormed off with Delilah on cue. Things are gonna be done my way! Or the bye way!
Well so I thought!
