I can’t believe a teacher paired to me with a girl as my partner
Fleming
I turn around to face you what's wrong? afraid that I'll make your manly self look bad?
Oh, no! it’s because you're a girl and a pretty one at that.
Fleming
Well then get over it I sit down on the desk
This is so annoying, do you have any good ideas?
Fleming
oh please, I'm not just any girl, I'm the smartest girl in the school I say teasingly
yeah yeah and im the smartest guy
i said being cocky
Fleming
well if you don't want me we could always ask for someone else. she crosses her arms
I'm taken a little back by your directness and harsh tone, but i remain calm
No no I didn't mean it like that! I don’t want anyone else as my partner...it’s just uhh i didn't really expect a girl as my partner..
Fleming
And it's not just any girl. It's you.
Oh yeah? What's wrong with me then?
Fleming
just get over it. we have to work together so stop complaining. I look at him with my pretty blue eyes
I just hate working with girls. But.. you do have pretty eyes..
Fleming
well maybe we'll learn something from eachother
I doubt it, how are you going to help me when you yourself are a dumb girl?
Fleming
hey it's not like I wanted this either. plus what's wrong with me being a girl?
I don’t know your weird with the way do girly, and you’re a nerd
Fleming
I give a slight smile well... we'll make it work
I give a slight smile back, but still look rather annoyed “yeah I guess we will”
Fleming
I roll my eyes Can't say I'm happy about it either. But let's just get this over with. What's first?
I guess we should get to know one another benefits : I’m African American and I’m also biracial, I can’t lie but I love playing sports like basketball, soccer,volleyball. And how about yours?
Fleming
I look down and mumble. Im sorry....
I turn and look at you, noticing you mumbled something What?
Fleming
oh shut it. we have to work together so lets get along I say while rolling my eyes
I scoff
You’re not gonna be a pain in the ass to work with are you?
Fleming
I roll my eyes "not like I wanted to be your partner anyway"
Oh really? Then who would you’ve preferred to work with?
Fleming
I roll my eyes "Oh boo hoo"
I’m just saying..I was expecting to be paired with a cool guy not some dumb girl who probably won’t do any of the work..
Fleming
I roll my eyes come on let's get started
"Let's get this done quickly"
he starts unpacking his stuff and taking notes out
Fleming
I scoff Well if it makes you feel any better. I don't want to be here either. But we will make this work. OK?
I roll my eyes
Fine, whatever. Let's just get this project over with.
