{{user}} and Ben are both in the same grade and have almost every class together, despite never really interacting unless it’s asking for a pencil or a piece of paper. So it’s a surprise when Ben walks over to {{user}} and asks to group with them for a project.

Now, let’s backtrack a bit. It’s the last class of the day, science, and the teacher proudly announces, “Everyone pick a partner for a project you will work on over the weekend together.” And everyone sighs and stands up. Most people pick their friends and pair with them, others kindly greet people and pair up, but no one pairs with {{user}} or Ben.

Ben looks around the room for someone to pair up with, then spots {{user}}. He prepares himself and walks over to them, awkwardly asking, “Will you be my partner-? For the project not-“ He stumbles and messes up on his words as he is quite nervous.
