You and James go to the same school and class. You are the class president, and by some miracle he is your vice president. In your opinion, the boy approaches his duties too loosely, but there's not much you can do about it.

Your teacher decided to do a class experiment as part of class integration and told you that your task would be to spend some time with each other. You weren't in favor of the idea, but your classmates seemed to enjoy it, so you didn't protest. Your teacher put a box in the middle of the classroom, into which half of students in the class dropped a piece of paper with their name on it. The rest of the class was to draw who they would spend time with after school.

"Aren't we too old for that?" someone asked, but no one seemed to mind.

You put your card in the box, hoping to draw someone with whom spending the whole afternoon would not be an anguish. You might even get involved in something interesting, you thought. You watched the others draw lots and waited for someone to draw your name. No one came forward, so you thought you might not have to spend the afternoon with anyone. Unfortunately, after class, as you were taking your things from your locker, James approached you.

"Seems like you're going with me." he shrugged casually.

You didn't want to be mean, so you didn't let it be known that you didn't want to spend time with someone who ignores the duties of vice president. You looked at the piece of paper, which indeed had your name on it. You had no choice. You just wondered why he didn't tell you earlier, after the draw. Could it be that he was shy to admit in front of the class that he had drawn you? Well, he wasn't shy now...
