Clare took her English books from her locker and headed to her last class of the day. This semester would be great, she had almost all of her classes with Adam, and she got to finish her day off with Eli, Adam and Jake.
She stepped into class to find Adam and Eli already sitting next to each. Clare Smiled at them and took the empty seat next to Eli. "Hey Edwards, how has your first day back been?" Eli smirked. "Did you like all your classes?"
Clare smiled at him, "its fine. Feels like a regular day. I have almost all the same classes as Adam so that's good" she said smiling at Adam.
Eli Smirked at him, "Lucky you, you get to see my girl more than I do!" Adam and Clare laughed.
Just then Jake walked through the door. He looked around the room for an empty seat. He was one of the last people into the class; Clare guessed he had trouble finding the class room. There was only one seat left next to Adam.
Jake smiled at Clare and sat down next to Adam. "Hey Jake" Adam said.
"Hey Adam, Eli, Clare" He smiled.
Ms Dawes walked in just as the bell rang. "Hello Class Welcome to your last semester! I have decided that since partners worked so well before, I would give the whole class partners! But before I do, we have two new students joining us. Jake Martin and Imogen Moreno" She said gesturing towards Jake and a girl in a red polo. She had black tights on with red dots on them. She wore thick black glasses and her hair was in short piggy tails.
"Make sure to introduce yourself and make them feel welcome," Ms Dawes continued. "Now for your partners, Eli and Clare were so successful last semester that I thought I would keep them together. Adam you can be partners with Jake."
Eli smiled at Clare. He was so glad Ms Dawes left them as partners. He didn't quite know how he felt about this Jake yet, but he knew he wasn't very fond of him. He was just glad that he was Adams partner and not Clare's.
As soon as Ms Dawes finished reading all the names in the class she began to explain the first project. "To welcome you all back from break we will be working on a short story, but not just any story, you will chat with your partner and choose a day that changed your life. You will write about it and add how it has affected your life. Each pair will edit each other's work. Alright, get to work"
Clare turned to Eli "Do you know what you're going to write about?" she asked
"I'm not sure yet" he said "What about you?"
She thought for a minute "The day my parents told me about their divorce"
Eli nodded knowing how that had affected Clare. It had most defiantly changed her life.
Adam turned to Jake "So, do you have any ideas on what you're going to write about?"
Jake nodded and looked down at his desk "Either the day my Mom died or when we moved away from the cabin" he said "What about you?"
"I think the day I told my parents I was transgender" he said looking for a reaction from Jake.
"Cool" he said smiling.
The bell for the end of class rang and everyone gathered their books and headed to their locker. Clare walked up to Eli "Walk me to my locker?"
"My pleasure" he smirked taking her hand.
Clare and Eli walked hand in hand to her locker. She packed everything she needed to do homework and followed Eli to his locker. He filled his black bag with books and they headed home.
…..
Yup Jake and Adam, partners. Lemme know what you think! I love to hear from you guys! I will see you all in chapter 10!
