Chapter 1: Partners
(Belleview High School. First day of school.)
"Okay class I know it's only the second day of school, but we are going to start a project,"
said Mrs. Hayfer.
The class sighed.
"This project will be a big part of your grade. You will be working with a partner…"
"Yeah," the class shouted.
"…That I will be assigning," said Mrs. Hayfer.
The class sighed.
"I hate this she never assigns us with the people we like or the people we know. It's always someone we hate or someone we don't know," said Drake Parker to his step brother Josh Nichols.
"Well she doesn't do that to me," said Josh.
"That's 'cause you're the teacher's pet," said Drake.
"She's the only teacher who would ever assign a project on the first day!" Drake exclaimed.
"I will read the partners to you, Tom Deans and Jonathon James, Josh Nichols and Mindy Crenshaw…" said Mrs. Hayfer.
"Yesss," Josh exclaimed silently.
"… Drake Parker and Ashley Robinson," said Mrs. Hayfer. She stopped and looked at Drake smiling. Drake ignored her and looked around to find this Ashley Blake.
He remembered seeing her in his Spanish class. She has long, black straight hair with brown eyes. She had her hair tied back in a pony tail. Maybe working on this project with her won't be so bad thought Drake. When he looked at her she looked up and noticed Drake staring at her, she looked away quickly embarrassed. Drake looked away and smiled.
When Mrs. Hayfer finished reading the names she said, "Okay now I want you to get with your partners and discuss where your going to be working on your projects because your not going to have any time in class. And your projects will be due two weeks from now."
Drake got up to go sit near Ashley. She sits two rows away from Drake. "Hey, my name's Drake Parker."
"Hi, my name's Ashley Robinson."
"I haven't seen you here before, are you new?"
"Yeah, we just moved here two weeks ago."
"Where did you move from?"
"Santa Barbara."
"Cool…so we have a lot of time to finish this dumb project."
"Yeah, but we should start right away so we don't have to do it at the last minute."
"I guess your right."
"How 'bout we make a schedule, so we know what times and where we are going to do our project?"
"That's a good idea."
"Okay, so how 'bout we start Thursday at your house? Is that okay?"
"Yeah, that's okay."
"Okay, so I'll make a copy of this and give it to you tomorrow."
"Okay."
"Okay class the bell is going to ring in five minutes," said Mrs. Hayfer.
"So I'll see you around," said Drake
"Yeah, bye," said Ashley.
"Bye," said Drake.
(Honors Chemistry, Second day of School. Ashley's Point of View)
Mrs. Conway, the chemistry teacher said, "Today you are going to pick your lab partners. Make sure you pick carefully because your going to have the same partners or the whole year."
I looked around, I didn't know anybody. I was afraid no one would want to be my partner, cause I'm new and no one knew me.
"I'll give you five minutes to choose your partners and get to know them," Mrs. Conway explained.
Everyone got up and went to pick their partners. I just sat there, I didn't know who to pick and wasn't even sure they would want to be my partner. All of a sudden I saw a girl coming towards me.
"Hi, my name's Mindy Crenshaw," she said.
"Hi, my name's Ashley Robinson," I said.
"Do you want to be lab partners?"
"Yeah." I was excited someone actually wanted to be my lab partner.
"I know how it's like being the new kid, and it's not good. Do you like it here so far?" Mindy asked.
"Yeah, it's a good school and the teachers are pretty nice, and…"
Mrs. Conway got up and said, "Okay class, I am going to pass around a piece of paper and I want you and your partner to write your names, so I'll know who is working with who. Tomorrow there's going to be a new seating chart. You will be seating with your partner and you get to decide where you are going to sit. It's first come first serve…"
"Let's sit towards the back," I said.
"Yeah, lets try getting to class early tomorrow," said Mindy.
"…If there is any problem I will move you. For the rest of the period we are going to take notes. You will need your notebooks," Mrs. Conway finished.
