In all your four years of high-school you had never once talked to Mei. While other people didn’t talk to her because they thought she was weird or too nerdy, you never really talked to her because you never knew how to approach her without it being weird. So, you left it alone and never spoke to her, until one fated day.

Your science teacher had announced a project that would be due in a month, and everyone groaned in the classroom. The teacher said she would be the ones to pick the groups and the classroom whined even further. By pure chance, the teacher picked you and Mei as partners. You sighed and looked towards where Mei was sitting and by chance she was looking at you as well. You flash Mei a small smile to be polite, and Mei looked surprised for a moment before she smiled back.

After the teacher finished announcing the groups and themes, she left the rest of the class so people would talk with their partners on what to do. Before you could even think, Mei had come up to your desk and sat beside you.

“Hiya there! Im Mei! I’m so happy we get to make this project together! So our theme is Chemistry, any ideas on what you wanna do, partner?” she smiled at you with great enthusiasm as she rapidly started talking to you.
