The History Project (Chapter 2)

Teacher POV

I smile with satisfaction as I look down at the list in front of me that I have just finished compiling... the list that has the partner groups for the history project everyone's scared of failing. Looks like my degree in psychology has become a part of my teaching. Let's see how well these students adjust and compromise. A few groups stand out to me:

Jessica Stanley & Mike Newton

Edward Cullen & Isabella Swan

Angela Weber & Ben Cheney

Lauren Mallory & Tyler Crowley

Tanya Denali & Eric Yorkie

Why do these groups stand out to me? Well, Jessica and Mike are both average people, and I have a feeling that although they put each other's names down and glare at each other, they'll be able to work together quite easily.

Edward and Isabella are quite the complicated pair. I've heard that they used to be best friends, in middle school, and were incredibly close (us teachers hear nearly everything kids gossip about). And now... well, to put it simply, they absolutely despise, abhor, detest, loathe, and HATE (or however else you want to say it) each other. And I think they need to work out whatever happened between them.

As for Angela and Ben, I personally do think it's weird for teachers to interfere with students' love lives, but even I can tell they like each other but are too shy to admit it. They didn't put anyone's names down (they're probably too nice to) so they get to be partners. Lucky them.

Our next group is Lauren and Tyler. I think they're both a bit... hotheaded. Since their personalities are so similar, they'll probably hate each other even more or become much closer. I'm interested in seeing what the result will be for this group.

And the last one that catches my eye: Tanya and Eric. From what I have observed, these both are hiding their true selves. Tanya, for example, pretends to be a perfect, nice girl, although I wouldn't be surprised if she was the reason behind Edward and Bella's enmity. And Eric hides himself behind a nerdy exterior when in fact, I can tell that he is quite the fun-loving, humorous guy that everyone would like to be friends with. I think that maybe these two can open up to each other and become friends in this way.

The bell rings, jolting me from my thoughts. I guess it's too late now to post the list. That's okay I guess, I would like to take some notes on the reactions of the kids in those particular groups, so I'll read out the names one by one. Let's see if my knowledge in psychology can help me predict new friendships or stronger hatred.

The students pile in and the late bell rings. Wow, the whole class is actually here on time. I hope they won't be too disappointed that they came here on time just to start a project that they'll probably start out hating.

Well, here goes nothing I guess.

Angela POV

I really hope I get a good partner for this project. I mean, this project decides my grade for history. And I need to be partnered with someone I can work with.

"Okay guys, listen up if you want to know who your partner is," the teacher called out. Instantly, the room went quiet. Even Edward Cullen didn't have a sarcastic remark, I bet he was as curious as everyone else in here.

"The first group is: Ben Cheney and..." the teacher decided to put in a dramatic pause. Oh please let me be partnered with him. He's so cute and super nice too. It would be perfect.

"Angela Weber," the teacher announced. YES! I unconsciously sport a big grin on my face, and, to my surprise, Ben has a super cute one too. Could he... possibly like me? No, he's probably just happy he got an agreeable partner.

Edward POV

"The next group is... Tanya Denali and Eric Yorkie."

I hear Tanya sigh beside me, and I can hear Eric sigh behind me. What's wrong with them? They got relatively good partners. Then I realize that Tanya probably wanted to be partners with me, and Eric with one of the guys he hangs out with I guess. Oh well, they should be happy they didn't get stuck with Lauren or Tyler. I pity the people who have to partner up with those two.

"Next is Edward Cullen and..."

Oh please be someone good. Anyone that doesn't hate me. Which is basically everyone but Bella. I really do need a good grade in history. I do, after all, want to go to a good college, no matter how popular I am.

"Bella Swan."

Damnit. Is he doing this on purpose? I put her name down on the paper! Then I realized something... is the teacher partnering people up based on the names we put down? That would make sense for Eric and Tanya... I think they put each other because they didn't know who to write down. I'm screwed. But one thing's for sure: I'm talking to the teacher after school, no matter what.

BPOV

No way. No freaking way.

WHY? Did he make a mistake? Am I dreaming? I really CANNOT afford to get a bad grade on this. I want to get into Ivy League. I put Edward's name down though! Wait... are the partners based on who we hate the most?! I'm talking to the teacher after class today. And if I don't get my way... the teacher's going to be sorry. Very sorry.

Teacher POV

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all... the murderous looks on Edward and Bella's faces are scaring me.

I get through the rest of the names, noticing that Tyler, Lauren, Edward, and Bella, were the most angry at the groups, and that Ben and Angela seemed quite happy. Jessica, Mike, Tanya, and Eric seemed neither happy nor too disappointed, and the rest of the class's reactions varied.

"I need to go to a meeting now. See you tomorrow!" I announce hastily and high-tail it out of there before I'm bombarded with requests to change the groups.

I stick my head back in the door. "And I'm not changing the groups, so don't even try!" I clarify, just in case Bella, Edward, Tyler, and Lauren decide to hunt me down.

This is going to be a fun project.

Angela and Ben POV

YES! This is going to be the best project ever.

Jessica, Mike, Tanya, and Eric POV

I guess this isn't as bad as it could've been...

Tyler, Lauren, Bella, and Edward POV

I. Am. Going. To. KILL. The. Teacher.

Teacher POV

KEEP RUNNING. DON'T LOOK BACK. DON'T STOP.

A/N: I know it's a lot of changing POVs at the end but... I didn't really know how else to do it. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW :) Thanks!
