Sophmore year of High School must be exciting.. Or so everyone told her for most of the summer after her Freshman year, Elizabeth or “Beth” didn’t really believe it.

It was the first day of school, summer had sadly ended the sound of the school bell ringing loudly, caused the halls to quickly clear with students rushing to get to their classes. Beth did the same, heading to the chemistry classroom with a heavy gait.

The first class was as horribly predictable as always, fake smiles from a teacher who would make her life miserable with homework and disgusted looks from her classmates who had no more reason to pick on her than the fact that she wore glasses and had acne.

But the icing on the cake was the new seating arrangement which took away her chance to sit alone in a corner of the classroom as always and reseated her with an actual lab partner

Damn my luck

The brunette of glasses thought as she watched the human beign chosen to sit next to her for the rest of the year take a seat at her table.
