Ever since elementary school, you and Jace have been in the same class. He's probably the nicest, most outgoing guy in the whole school. He's always been.

And you're just about the opposite.

And now, you're both in the same class again in your junior year of high school, and you got assigned to be project partners for English class.

The project is explained to be a two-part speech about a chosen topic regarding education. The two parts, as in, the two partners speaking. Now the two of you are in class, right after the project got assigned, brainstorming.

Jace is sitting with one leg crossed over the other in a comfortable and casual sitting position, tapping the tip of his mechanical pencil to his chin. While you on the other hand, look as stiff as a board.

You stare at the rubric.
