Chapter 1: Her

8 years later...

***Calvin's POV***

I had one thought in my head as I waited for the bus. 2 more years. 2 more years. 2 more flippin years until freedom from public schools. I didn't care about college, because that was too far away to think about.I didn't care that my parents wanted me to go not only to college, but go all the way through grad school. I was tired of dealing with high school. I had an easier year during my sophomore year, but I still had no friends in school. Unfortunately, all the ogling girls last year could not make up for my freshman year and the fact that girls only wanted me as eye candy, not that that was too big of a problem. I walked on the bus automatically, and sat in a fully empty seat and was ready to block the seat next to me from any girls sitting there before the next stop, when one sat next to me.

I was about to say something when I noticed three things. First off, the girl didn't notice me, since she was entranced in a book. Second, she had it going on. She was wearing pants and a high cut shirt, but you could tell how much she was packing on both sides. When I noticed this and decided to see who it was and suddenly I was depressed, it was Her. I did not want any interaction with Her, not even to tell Her to move, so I read my book as well and pretended not to notice Her. Besides, no there was no way one of those ogling girls would sit there now. Luckily people didn't notice me noticing her and just assumed that I just didn't pay attention to Her, but they did talk about it within earshot.

Once we arrived at school, She left her seat, nose still in her book. I left and went to my locker while looking at my schedule. Like always, my after school hour was with Mrs. Wormwood. Mrs. Wormwood was the only one to be able to deal with me until she had a breakthrough in fourth grade when a dinosaur question was finally asked. Which was the largest dinosaur in each period of to see my hand up without an evil smile, she picked me. After five minutes of explaining about the top three largest dinosaurs and giving exact heights and weights over every period. Mrs. Wormwood asked to see me after class. I was confused on what I did wrong. My parents and the principal walked in after class and my parents were far from pleased. They did a pinched themselves by the end of the meeting. Mrs. Wormwood had a proposal for me. If I did all of my homework and got at least B's in every subject at the end of the day, she would give me an hour of teaching in the subject of my choosing, given that it was school appropriate. Surprisingly, this idea came from just an answer and a call to my parents. It worked with flying colors! In a month, I had better grades than Her. I still was just as mischievous, but I everyone was just happy that I was passing my classes. The principal gave her a major pay raise if she did this while I was in public schools. It still stuck with me and while I don't need it now, they are worried that I will go back in the slumps if I don't have it now.

I headed to my first class, Pre-Calculus and saw that there was only one seat left, right next to Her, and She wasn't reading anymore. Luckily, She just ignored me. Mr. Potsby said that these were our new permanent seats. I looked up and thought, Really God? Really? Class went slowly since the class was just reviewing what we learned last year. They always do this every year and it is so slow. I had nothing to do in the meantime. I already read my book. I forgot to charge my phone last night, so it is out of batteries, and I refused to talk because that would mean talking to Her. After class, She left right away while I stayed back for a while. At my second hour, H. English, there were 2 seats left after I got there just before being late. They were on both sides of Her. What the heck was wrong with the universe. This somehow was the pattern of the day. We had the same lunch, but luckily I sat away from Her there. I did notice, however, that She never talked to anyone at all, or sit next to anyone, as well. Come to think of it She didn't sit next to at lunch or talk at all to anyone at school since…

It didn't help my day, though, that lunch today was mega noodle monday, which brought back memories of an incident that no one could prove. Not to mention this weeks noodles were spaghetti and meatballs or as I like to call them, intestines and squid eyeballs. During the last hour of the day, H. Biology 2, I finally got a seat away from Her. Class started and I had my mind on that the pattern was broken.

Our teacher, Mrs. "monotone" Williams, said, "Now I have assigned you lab partners for a research project to be done mostly outside of school. You will sit next to your partner every day. Since there is an odd number of students, there will be one group of three" I knew what was going to happen. "The first group is Calvin Watterson and," I couldn't watch. "Jessica Minnick."

I was cheering in my head, for once glad that I was wrong, when I heard someone say, "Jessica switched classes earlier today." What!?

Mrs. Williams said, "Well then, I'll pull out one of the group of three then." No. "The group will now be…" NO. NO. NO. NO. "Calvin Watterson and Susie Derkins."

I got paired with Her.

A/N: Thanks for reading! Sorry for the long wait, I had a big project in one of my classes and got delayed with editing. Please reply and I hope to write of how it goes and what happened between them to make them not talk to eachother. Also, the prologue was the start of 3rd grade and this is the start of 11th grade.
