A/N- Hey everyone! Welcome to the 1st chapter :) I'm juggling this story, as well as another, with school and soccer, so we shall see how far this goes, yes? Haha well enjoy!

 I shuffled down the hallways of Gordan High school in Hudson, Wisconsin, nervously clutching my books to my chest. I would quickly enter Science class, take my seat, and get ready to take notes. I passed two teenagers having a heated make out session against someones locker and scrunched up my nose in disgust. I seriously feel bad for the owner of the locker...

I brush off the thought as I reached 217, Mr. Spencer's science class. I sat in the front, near the window, writing down the homework. I look outside. It had recently turned to Autumn, and the first month of Freshman year had passed. It consisted of the usual teasing and bullying.

Why, you ask? I don't quite understand it myself, but I believe it's simply because they don't know how to deal with someone of my intelligence. Or it could just be that I don't keep up with the trends of my school, but the reason why is trivial. It's the effect that matters. I occasionally will be bullied to the point of depression, but my friend Kiku helps me feel better. What I would do without him is beyond me.

The class gradually began to fill up as the teacher strode into the room. He was a tall, bald man with a very monotonous voice. But as long as he taught us the lesson, I'm not complaining. But the others sure do. My classmates were horsing around, throwing paper and pens around the room. I rolled my eyes. 'This is a leaning institution, not a zoo...'

"Quiet down class!" Mr Spencer clapped his hands, right as the bell rang. "Today we will be starting a project which will count as 40% of you grade!" The whole class groaned, excluding myself. "It is a group project, so you will be working with one other person." It was my turn to groan. Unfortunately for me, Kiku wasn't in this class so there wasn't any chance that I'd be paired up with him.

"After I pair you up, you both will have to do a project on a theme I give you guys. You will be graded on the oral part and the actual project itself." He explained. Some students shifted towards each other in an attempted to be in the same group. "Sorry kids, I've already picked the groups." He said, picking up a yellow Post-it note.

Mr. Spencer than proceeded to tell us our groups. I hadn't heard my name yet, and my possible list of partners was quickly shrinking. "Lauren Wills," I looked up curiously. " and Gilbert Beilschmidt."

'Oh, no f*cking way in HELL!' I usually don't resort to cursing, but this situation called for it.Could this get any worse? Gilbert is the absolute last person I would want as my partner! He is such a douche!

Some of Gilbert's friends 'Oooh~!'ed smugly and I could hear a faint 'ow!', probably from him punching them.

The teacher coughed, gaining the classed attention. "Okay, get into your groups and I will individually tell you guys your project themes." I sighed. I guess I'll just have to make the best of this...

I got up and walked over to Gilbert's desk, and saw he was picking at his nail. "Um, hi?" I greeted, sitting down in the empty seat next to him.

"Hn." He mumbled, finally looking over to me. "You should consider yourself lucky to be working with such an awesome person!" He said, smirking. I rolled my eyes at his immaturity.

"Whatever...Let's just wait for Mr. Spencer to give us the project theme." I muttered, turning away from the player.

"Aw, why so cold, Lauren?" He asked, leaning forward. "Are you a lesbian or something?"

I went red, both from anger and embarrassment. "Shut it, you ass." I spat, clenching my fists. He chuckled. Damn it, I gotta stop 'feeding the troll'.

The teacher approached us and I gave a sigh of relief. Hopefully the subject will be one Gilbert will actually be interested in and might even understand a bit.

"So, Lauren, Gilbert." He started, looking back at his Post-it. "You two are going to be doing the Reproductive System."

...

Oh he'll be interested in it alright.

A/N- Ah! Sorry it's short, I just felt that this would be a...good...ending to the chapter lol
