Chapter 2: Partners

Lucy had gotten so many stares on her first day at her new school. The teachers were shocked when she walked into the classrooms, girls whispered behind her back and boys focused on her rather than the board. Lucy smiled to herself. This was her and she was flaunting it to the world, just like her old friends had told her to.

When the bell rang for lunch Lucy walked the corridor and looked around the school a little more before someone yelled her name. "Lucy! Lucyyyy!" Lucy groaned as she recognised who that annoying voice belonged too. She turned and saw Kentin, a student from her old school. What the fuck was he doing here?

"Lucy, it's you!" Kentin said with a smile. He was really short for a boy his age with brown hair and his eyes were hidden by thick glasses. "What are you doing here?" Lucy asked in disgust. The kid had followed her around everywhere at her old school whether she was alone or in a group, always offering her sweets and snacks that she never took.

"As soon as I heard you transferred here I moved too. Now we're together! Isn't that great?" Kentin said with a blush rising to his cheeks as he eyed Lucy's body. He was just like everyone else, that dweeb. "Whatever." Lucy said, tucking her hair behind her ear before turning on her heels and continuing her walk.

"Listen! Have you picked your extracurricular activity yet?" Kentin asked following Lucy. "Who needs those?" Lucy said with a bored tone. "Well, we're new here! The student body president Nathaniel told me we had to choose between gardening and basketball. What would you chose?" Kentin explained. "Whatever you're not doing…" Lucy mumbled to herself. "Hm?" Kentin said with a smile. "Basketball." Lucy answered.

Kentin seemed to sink. "R-really? Don't you like gardening, like me?" He asked. "No. Now buzz off you fly." Lucy said. Kentin nervously smiled at the insult she always gave him. "O-okay! See you around?" He asked hopefully. Lucy didn't reply and just continued down the corridor, sick of the school already.

It was nearly empty as students evacuated the building to enjoy lunch outdoors in the sunny weather. Lucy passed the student council room just as Nathaniel walked out, holding a stack of papers that reached the top of his head. With an evil smile, Lucy purposely walked in front of Nathaniel and he bumped into her, not expecting anyone to be around. With a gasp, Nathaniel fell backwards and dropped all of the papers he was holding.

"What…?" He said looking at the scattered pages littering the floor before looking up to see a laughing Lucy. "You should see the look on your face, dude. That was fucking hilarious!" She managed to get out. Nathaniel's face went red. "Lucy!" He shouted. "Hey, I never told you my name." Lucy said. Nathaniel sighed. "I'm the student body president and was in charge of your enrolment. I know your name and your school records." He said, positioning himself on his knees to pick up the papers he had dropped. "That's personal." Lucy countered. "Not to me. I'm the stu-" "Student body president, I get it." Lucy cut him off rolling her eyes. Nathaniel looked up at Lucy. "Could you help me pick these up?" He asked.

Lucy paused for a while before leaning down to be face to face with Nathaniel, squeezing her arms across her torso so that her chest would reveal more. Nathaniel's face went red. "I could…" She said. Then she smiled. "But I'm not going to." With that, she stood back up and chuckled to herself before continuing to walk down the corridor, leaving a blushing and angered Nathaniel staring after her.

Lucy chuckled to herself as she turned the corner. "Hey, look at that. New girl acting like she owns the school already." Lucy looked in front of her at the three girls blocking her path. On the right was a brown haired girl, on the left was a black haired girl and in the middle was a blonde, who looked strikingly similar to Nathaniel. "Aww, did I take your job?" Lucy asked sweetly. "You obviously weren't good enough to own the school."

The girl in the middle scrunched up her nose in anger. "If I was you I wouldn't get me angry." She threatened. Lucy made a face. "I can do whatever the hell I want." Lucy wasn't bothered for these girls. She knew there were going to be people at the school she was NOT going to get along with and there were three standing right in front of her. They seemed lost for words as Lucy passed them, continuing to walk through hallways until the bell rang, signifying the end of lunch.

She made her way to her English and introduced herself to Mr Faraize whose eyes went wide at the sight of her. She sat at the back of the room and scanned for the red haired boy who drove her to school this morning. He hadn't been in any of her classes so far but she was still keeping an eye out. Lucy groaned when she saw Kentin at the front of the classroom. He twisted back in his seat and waved before Mr Faraize began.

Halfway through the lesson the door opened and Nathaniel walked in. "You're late, Nathaniel!" Mr Faraize exclaimed in shock. Many of the students whispered to each other. Obviously this was something that did not happen very often. "Sorry sir, I was caught up in some paperwork." He said. Nathaniel saw Lucy at the back of the classroom and immediately looked away.

Unfortunately for Nathaniel his spot at the front of the class was taken by Kentin. The only seat available was next to Lucy in the last row. "Great." Nathaniel mumbled to himself as he sat in the corner. "Took your time?" Lucy asked him with a grin on her face. "Thanks to you." Nathaniel whispered harshly back to her. This was the first time he was ever late to a class without teacher permission; he was lucky Mr Faraize was a pushover and forgot to mark it down.

"Okay class," Mr Faraize said with a smile near the end of the lesson. "Since everyone is here now as Nathaniel has graced us with his presence, (students laughed and Nathaniel slouched in his seat with utter embarrassment) we can draw up a partner chart for the rest of the term." Mr Faraize picked up a clipboard on his desk and scanned it. "You cannot change the partners I've picked for you." He said, causing the class to groan. "Alright, when I call your names I will give you each the assignment sheet for the term and you can leave early." The class seemed satisfied to hear that.

Mr Faraize read names and students left in twos. Some were delighted with their partners such as a red-haired girl named Iris and a brown-haired girl named Melody, who high fived before grabbing the assignment sheet and walking out of the class. Others were not happy at all, such as Amber, the blonde-girl Lucy met earlier. She was partnered up with Kentin. "Let's be friends!" Lucy smiled as she heard him say to Amber as they exited the classroom. Serves her right.

"Finally, Nathaniel and the new girl, Lucy!" Mr Faraize said cheerfully. Nathaniel's heart stopped. "I… I'm partnered with her?" He said, looking sideways. "Don't think I'm thrilled to be your partner either dude." Lucy countered. "Well, I paired up the best student and the worst." Mr Faraize began. Then his face went red as Lucy threw him a stare. "I-I mean, the most able student with the least abled…" He trailed off before shaking his head. "Anyway, come get your sheets. Class is dismissed."

Lucy stood and tucked her chair roughly before hastily walking to the front of the classroom and snatching the paper from her teachers' hand. Jeez, she had to be partnered with that snob? Just because he was student body president he thought could come to school dressing the way he did and act almighty.

Nathaniel followed, sighing as he neatly positioned his chair and walked calmly to the front. The two of them couldn't be any more different, prevalent in their actions, the way they dressed and the way they addressed others. This was definitely the worst pairing of the class. How on earth were the two of them going to get along long enough to finish one assignment?

"I'm sorry." Mr Faraize whispered. "It's okay. I understand." Nathaniel said with a smile as he took his sheet and left the classroom.

But really, on the inside he was wondering how in the world he would be able to work with Lucy.
