New story, I will likely go back to the other one, but this will be interesting. It is likely going to be around 5 parts, one for each couple and I am starting with Jenna and Kevin

Prologue
The students filed in the empty classroom, where desks had been paired off and signs that said do not move the desks, filled the class. Sometimes only half the class came, others simply the majority. There had been only one class through the entire year that everyone had showed up. The class that was about sexual education.
Now the good students were already early and the stragglers just arriving when the bell rang. The teacher, Ms. Bartholomew or known as Ms. B was sitting behind her desk and taking attendance to see which of the students had shown up.
Ms. B was good at keeping her emotions in check and not letting the absent students get to her. Now she was dressed very ladylike and her grace only added to her overall facade. Once everyone was seated she walked to the front of the class and silently counted everyone then sent the attendance off. She picked up a jar and let everyone talk amongst themselves. Only 10 of the 16 students had showed up, which was in a way more than Ms. B had expected.
Unfortunately coming to this job of health class teacher she had to lower her standards. She began by picking up a jar on her desk and then dumping all of the papers out, and then she put the slips in one of two piles, either in the jar or on her desk. When they were all sorted she stood up and asked for attention.
"Good afternoon." She smiled brightly and watched every face carefully. It was perfect with an even number of boys and girls. "Today we start a new project that will take us to the end of semester." Everyone started talking and looking at each other. "You will all be in partners." Ms. B started again after the chatter faded. Everyone looked at their friends and seemed to nod their head as if they had already chosen their partners. "That I choose!" Ms. B added and everyone gave a simultaneous groan. "Or rather you will draw a name from this jar. Now boys come to the front of the class." Ms. B instructed. The 5 boys seemed to drag themselves to the front and then slouched while waiting for further instruction.
No one had said a word after the drawing a name from the jar order. "Okay, pick a slip of paper." Ms. B explained and walked to the closest boy. Kevin Marin was the class clown and always had something to say but was unusually quiet now. He tentatively put his hand in the jar and pulled out a paper. "Don't look at it yet!" She chastened.
Then she stepped over to Samuel Hatchet, the most popular guy in school, with short raven coloured hair and mysterious black eyes he made it to the hottest list of the year and had been since he was a freshman. He picked a paper with no more than a wink to the girls. Confidence just radiated off of him.
Brandon Jerrod was next, the sporty guy who cared about school, and had friends who simply hung out with him because he was so well known. He took a slip of paper without a second of hesitation.
Dmitri Baxter the smartest guy chose his paper and put his hand back by his side without even seeming curious.
Finally Aaron Peters chose the final slip of paper.
"Now everyone can look at their paper." Ms. B announced and everyone read the name. "Simply say your partner's name and then go and sit next to them." Ms. B explained and then motioned to Kevin to begin. He had a goofy smile on his face and then read.
"Jenna Sidney." He gave a short laugh and then walked to the good girl that seemed to emit distaste with a passion. She didn't enjoy working with people who didn't take everything serious and knew the assignment just grew harder.
Kevin simply walked over to Jenna with his cheeks beginning to match his hair as his face blushed.
Samuel spoke next and all of the girls were listening, guessing that the partners would be boy-girl. "Carolyn Olives." He smiled at his girlfriend and walked to sit beside her. No problem with the two most popular students being partnered together. Carolyn was popular for her sports while Samuel just had a way with people.
Brandon looked around the class and then read the name off his paper, "Emma Franks." His face had twisted to being angry and he walked to sit beside Emma, who was a little overweight—something that had never bothered her.
Dmitri was quieter when finding out who his partner was, "Lilly Pearson." He read and his lips fell to a frown. Lilly was also known as Airhead because she was quite dumb and seemed to be the reason why blonds' had such a bad name. Not that Jenna—the other blond of the class—was dumb. Dmitri was about to be in a ride; for this project would bite on his last nerves and ride his temper everywhere.
Finally Aaron didn't even need to read the name off the paper for only one girl was left—Teagan Forbes. Everyone thought they knew Teagan for she had the best marks on tests, but no one really saw her hang out with anyone else but herself. Her red hair always gave her away and you could spot her in a room from miles away.
"Great, now that everyone has a partner I will explain the project." Ms. B was smiling widely at the class and everyone felt a groan coming on.
Ms. B walked to each of the pairs and put a paper on the desks. Then as everyone read the first line gasps filled the room. Marriage.
"As you can read, the assignment is called marriage for each of you will be married. Don't take this too seriously, just enough that you will get a passing grade. I have the principal's approval and it has been arranged that you will get to spend as much time in school with your spouse. I don't want anyone goofing off about this—but don't freak out." Ms. B was laughing. "First I want all of you to pick your jobs." She held up a deck of red cards.
First Jenna and Kevin chose.
"Lawyer." Jenna read; her eyes seemed excited but her face was rather emotionless.
"Model." Kevin laughed and nodded his head happily.
Carolyn chose next, "Doctor." She smiled.
"Garbage man." Samuel finished, not ashamed or unhappy at all.
"Professional Athlete." Emma said and looked down at her stomach. She began laughing and everyone else joined for no one believed Emma would become an athlete because of the extra weight she carried.
"Engineer." Brandon read.
"Artist." Lilly responded.
"Musician." Dmitri read with his face twisting unhappily.
"Teacher." Teagan read quietly.
"Banker." Aaron finished.
"Great, now that everyone has chosen a job I think it is time we do the honeymooning." Ms. B smiled and grabbed more cards. Two different colours now, purple and blue. "The violet cards give an event that may be good for your marriage or bad and the blue card is the location you will go." She explained.
Jenna picked a purple card. "Your parents bought you a new house for when you get back from your honeymoon."
Then Kevin picked a card. "You go to Honolulu, Hawaii." He smiled and raised his hand to high-five Jenna who had turned her head and was looking away.
Samuel drew the next card. "A natural disaster hits after the wedding and your future house is ruined. No honeymoon for you." He reads and his face falls.
Ms. B quickly moved on, not letting Carolyn pick a card. She moved on to Brandon.
"You have legal trouble where you were accused of shoplifting; the hearing is after the honeymoon." He finished then Ms. B fanned the cards out for Emma.
"You stay in your parent's basement for a honeymoon because you can't afford anything else yet." Her face was full of disappointment.
Dmitri chose the next event. "You have an unexpected pregnancy and must cancel your honeymoon." He read and seemed to roll his eyes.
Lastly Teagan and Aaron chose their cards. "You have a job transfer to another state with your spouse." He reads and then looks to Teagan while she draws a card.
"You go to Florida to visit Disneyland." She read without expression.
"Great, now everyone sit with your partners and discuss what you want your families to be like." Ms. B announced and was back to sitting behind her desk. When everyone stayed silent, "Well get to it!" She smiled and then the chatter began awkwardly.
