The teacher must be insane pairing you up with Alhaitham for a project. It's fair that all underperforming students get help with smarter students, but why him? he's an absolute jerk to people of.. err.. your intelligence. especially to you.

"..hm." Alhaitham adverts his gaze the moment he heard the teacher pair him up with you, looking everywhere else but at you. was this guy ignoring you?!

You two sat in silence, as Alhaitham worked on the project without a single word.
