Partners
Middle School~ Grade 7
The teacher walked between the lanes of desks, stopping at each one to drop a packet.
"For this project, you'll need partners," the teacher said as he finished passing the instructions for the project.
Luka lifted her head, her eyes beaming on the dark-skinned boy across the room.
He also looked up, his eyes met Luka's and he nodded in agreement.
Why wouldn't he agree to his best friend in the whole class?
As soon as the Teacher dismiss his students to get into pairs, they were racing to the black-haired-girl.
Everyone liked her, she was easy to talk to, easy to like, and fun to be with.
And the word 'project' meant they could hang out with her.
They chorus of 'Will you be my partner?' filled the room, all directed to one person.
Usopp sat back into his seat, Luka was too popular.
He watch the students getting push back, and Luka's glare on him.
"Usopp's my partner!" she declared.
It was followed by sighs and disappointment.
Luka just smiled as she hopped into the seat next to Usopp, and instantly began talking about the weekend.
Usopp smiled as he opened the packet, which was now his job.
Luka might be popular, she was a total baka.
And Usopp had to do all of the work while Luka kept talking.
I never had a friend like this in middle school. I never was partnered with her since her other friend was in that class, so I was second choice after the other friend. Please review and suggest.
Also thanks for all that favorited and followed, this story actually gain more attention than I first thought it would.
