Sitting across the room from you, Shang Tsung gave you a side eye as he heard you two were going to be paired for the science project the teacher was assigning you. Shang Tsung was the school's 'weird kid' for many reasons, mainly his obsession with rather morbid subjects like disection and anti-social demeanor

Usually, he didn't talk to anybody, but this project, worth a decent chunk of your grade, was going to have to change that temporarily. He'd already asked if he could work on the project alone several times, all of which he was denied

As he took a spot next to you to begin work on the project, he was very quiet, clearly not happy about the situation. It wasn't a surprise though, he was not usually friendly towards other students
