(Bandit's POV)
I watched as the teacher introduced all 4 of the puffs, starting with Blossom and ending with Buttercup. I paid extra attention when she mentioned Bunny, noticing my counterpart's reaction to everyone's attention. She seemed to shrink away at first but as she got used to the spot light, she became relaxed.
When things got settled down, the teacher continued with her instructions, explaining how we would start learning about memories and that we were to start with a project.
The teacher paired us up; I got stuck with Buttercup for the damned thing. Heaven knows that woman already hates my guts, the last thing I need is to be paired with her. Brick was with bossy Blossy, I couldn't help but laugh, how perfect was it that leader boy and leader girl got paired together. Butch has to work with Bubbles, that should totally be interesting, can't wait to hear all about it. Finally, poor Boom is with Bunny for this project.
It only maid sense our partners, I mean it's not like we are in some story where we are ironically paired with our counterparts. That would make things to easy anyways, and honestly lets face it, if any of us got paired with said counterparts, none of the work would get done, well maybe for Brick and Blossom, and that's a maybe. We would all be to busy arguing and teasing one another; the project would never be done.
The project was over the span of 5 weeks. We had to get together once a week, and we had to make sure it was the same day each week. The first day, we have to talk and get to know one another, duh, but we have to make sure we slip in a compliment. Then the next time said group comes together we have to state if we remember the compliment, then repeat the process with something different each week. Like, something specific about our pasts one week, the next is something we love and the week after is something we hate. After all of this we have to state which specific detail about the other we remember the best and which we remember the least along with other questions that must be filled out.
Do you see where this has the potential to go wrong? Because I do, my brothers and I all see the potential disaster during this. Right now we prefer the girls not remember us, for reasons that are hard to explain. However, to put it simply, we aren't the same kids we used to be, a lot has changed; we've changed.
Enough with the mushy stuff, huh? The teach let us go free to discuss things with our partners.
Buttercup sat stubbornly in her chair, I chuckled under my breath a long with a few cuss words, but you know, minor details, am I right? Rolling my eyes I stood from my seat giving it to Blossom so she could discuss with Brick.
Making sure to you use the opportunity I had right in front of me, I took Blossom's hand in mine.
"What beauty and grace Mon amour (My love)," bringing her soft hand to my lips I kissed it and then gave it back to her "I'll see ya around red." Winking I walked over to my new seat, not before noticing the glare I received from both my ginger brother and the seething green-eyed girl I would be working with.
"So" I sat down, but before I could say anymore, the green-eyed beauty stopped me in my tracks
"Listen here, Bandit was it?" she asked, I nodded a yes to her, taken back by her sudden forwardness "I've only been at this school for almost 3 hours and I already know more about you and that Butch boy than I care to know." She breathed in before continuing her rant "I saw what you did to both of my sisters, Bunny outside during gym, and Blossom just now, so if you think you're going to be able to get to me as easily as you did them, you are seriously mistaken."
I looked at her for a bit "So…." I smiled "what days do you wanna meet on?"
She frowned frustrated "Did you hear any of what I just said?"
"Of course I did," I opened my notebook "I was thinking Thursdays because I have Cross Country on Mondays, and then I go to the gym on Tuesdays, and then Wednesdays are my relaxation day, ya feel? And then Friday obviously we cant because that's party night, and then Saturdays I usually have a date and then I guess we could also do Sunday, I just prefer not to."
Buttercup looked at me the same way Butch does when he finds used condoms on the floor, I don't know why he always thinks they're mine, sometimes they are Brick's or Boomer's, mainly mine, but not always. Point is she didn't look happy.
"Yes, yes I get it sweat-heart, you're a tough cookie, gotcha, no touching the panther." I said rolling my eyes, then perking up "But how bout' the blonde sister of yours? She single?"
Buttercup growled very loudly, enough to draw the attention of classmates next to us, but not the teacher. Buttercup's ears lay back against her head, and her tail twitch angrily. I put my hands up, being a raccoon meant I knew how to survive and, therefore I knew not to push this kitty cat anymore
"Alright I get it, all Utonium sisters off limits" I put my hands down "I read ya loud and clear, besides I already got permanent black eyes, I don't need them to look any worse than they already do."
"Obviously they don't look to bad if you got every bitch around this dump falling for you." She huffed
I smiled "was that a compliment?"
She stuck her nose in the air and folded her arms across her chest, I chuckled to myself "Well cutie, you've got really pretty eyes yourself."
Rolling her eyes she spoke again "Thursdays are fine."
Sorry it's been so long, high school has me very busy at the moment. Also, sorry for the short chaptered, I was gonna add Bubbles and Butch's meeting, but I think I'll save that one for another day where I have time to spend on it. Also, no worries, this story will be the original pairings, such as redXred, BlueXBlue, GreenXGreen, and PurpleXPurple, i just wanted to mix things up with this project and bring the different characters and personalities together.
