Hey all! Starting a new fic today! I have an idea of where I'm heading with it but reviews and suggestions are always helpful!
I can't believe I'm being forced to work with Hastings Paige thought to herself, trying her best to keep her face from showing her emotions. A whole fucking class of people and teach puts me with her. Paige got up from her seat near the back of the room and walked slowly towards the empty desk next to Spencer in the front row, offering the girl a half smile that came out more like a grimace before pulling out her notebook to take notes on the Government project she was going to have to do with her sworn enemy. Maybe it won't be so bad, I've never actually talked to her off the hockey field and that fight we had on the field was last year, practices this year have been fine. Paige took a deep breath trying to control herself from getting upset over being paired with the one person she couldn't stand in this whole school. Yea. And maybe she's forgotten that time you pushed Emily in the pool. Paige almost laughed bitterly at her thoughts. She snuck a glance at Spencer from the corner of her eye, seeing the scowl on her face made Paige realize that's probably what she looked like too. Paige packed up the rest of her stuff as the teacher dismissed them, recognizing that she had to suck it up and ask Spencer when she wanted to work on the project. Hopefully soon so they could finish it and get it out of the way. When Paige stood up, she realized that Spencer had already left the room and she hurried out after her.
"Spencer! Hey!" Paige called to the girls retreating back, as she chased after her. "Spencer!" Paige said as she put a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't touch me Paige!" Spencer yelled shrugging the girl off of her.
"Sorry, you didn't have to run from me though. I just wanted to know when we should get together to do our project." Paige asked already feeling her blood beginning to boil.
"We don't." Spencer stated turning to go.
"What do you mean?" Paige asked "We need to get this done, preferably sooner rather than later" Paige challenged Spencer
"It will get done, but we don't need to meet. I'm going to do the project and I'll send you your talking points for our presentation" Spencer said with finality.
"Excuse me!?" Paige near shouted "I am not letting you do our entire project by yourself" Paige said following the girl through the hall on her way to lunch.
"And why not, we both know that we'll get an A, I'm first in our class if you haven't heard" Spencer said not bothering to look towards Paige.
"Because I'm not putting my name on something that's all your work, and I'm in the top ten too-not that far behind your scrawny ass last time I checked." Paige shouted, drawing the looks of a lot of people in the hallway.
"Fine McCullers, if you want to help I'll let you help but you're not doing anything without my approval."
"That's the whole point of working together Hastings" Paige challenged.
"I know you don't want to work with me anymore than I want to work with you. So be at my house, tomorrow after field hockey practice. Bring a list of ideas you have and they better be good. Don't be late." Spencer said before walking away.
"Whatever." Paige said before turning her back and storming away, trying to keep herself relatively calm. Wondering what God she had pissed off to deserve this.
Well fuck. Spencer thought. Of all the fucking people I could have been paired with she had to be put with McCullers. Not that she's not smart, I'm sure her ideas will be great but there's no way we can do this without fighting…. If only she knew why I pick fights with her….
