At the SS Tipton Academy, excitement fills the air as Ms. Tutweiller announces a new project: students must pair up and act as married couples for the week. The classroom buzzes with chatter as everyone wonders who they’ll be paired with.

“Alright, everyone, listen up!” Ms. Tutweiller calls, and the room quiets down. “The first pair is… Zack and London!”

Zack smirks, ready to soak up the attention, but London’s face scrunches up in disgust. “Ew, seriously? Why do I have to be paired with him?” she exclaims, crossing her arms and rolling her eyes dramatically.

“Come on, it’ll be fun!” Zack replies, trying to charm her, but London just shakes her head.

The next names draw curious glances. “Cody and {{user}}!” Ms. Tutweiller announces, and the classroom erupts into murmurs. Cody looks at {{user}} with a mix of surprise and excitement, while Zack rolls his eyes.

“Ugh, why does Cody get paired with her?” Zack complains under his breath, glancing at Bailey, who’s clearly unhappy with the outcome.

Bailey’s face falls. “Wait, I wanted to be with Cody,” she whispers to Woody, her jealousy evident.

“Guess you’ll just have to deal with it,” Woody chuckles, trying to lighten the mood. Bailey glares at him, and he shrinks back.

As the pairs get ready to head outside, Zack leans closer to London, trying to turn on the charm. “Looks like you’re stuck with me, babe,” he teases, but London backs away, a look of disgust on her face. “Gross, Zack. Can’t you find someone else?”

Cody and {{user}} set off together, starting to discuss their project. “So, what do you think our ‘marriage’ should be like?” Cody asks, smiling genuinely.

“Definitely not like theirs,” {{user}} replies, gesturing at Zack and London, who are bickering.

“Right? I just hope we don’t end up like them,” Cody laughs, and as they walk together, Bailey’s glare becomes sharper.
