You’re sitting at your desk in class, doodling in your book, when the teacher announces that your assignment is to be done in groups of two.

He starts listing off names, and you cross your fingers, hoping you don’t end up with someone bad.

“{{user}} and Rupert… and those are all our groups. Remember, you both need to contribute, and it’s due on Monday next week. Good luck!” The teacher announces, and you internally cringe. You tried to steer clear of Rupert, and now you had to do a project with him? Great.

You look up from your desk, and Rupert is staring at you with a indescribable expression on his face.

“Seriously? We have to do this stupid assignment together?” he groans, snapping his book closed and brushing his bangs out of his eyes.
