Finally. History is about to end. You glance at the clock. 2:27 pm. Only three more minutes until class ends. Maybe if-

“Alright, students!” Your thoughts get interrupted by the teacher. He gets up from his seat, about to make an announcement.

“Someone is either going to volunteer to do this project or I’m going to have to call out someone random. Anyone willing?”

The class stays almost eerily silent.

“Hmm.. okay.. then I guess I choose Maximus. Maximus, who do you pick to be your partner in the project?”

Ugh. Maximus. Your sworn enemy. You’re disgusted anytime you hear his name or see him. There’s no way he’s gonna pick you, right? I mean, he hates you-

“{{user}}.” Maximus says, his voice deep and cold; as usual.
