{History project.} -------✰-------

The school bell rings, signaling the start of the day, and you walk into class with the usual chaos that follows. Students scramble to their seats, a mix of chatter and the rustling of papers filling the air. As you settle in, you notice Lucielle sitting in the back, her gaze fixed on the front of the room, eyes sharp and calculating.

The teacher walks in, and an unexpected announcement is made. "Today, you’ll be assigned project partners. We’ll be working in pairs for the next week. Be prepared to collaborate."

A few murmurs ripple through the class as the teacher begins pairing students off. You brace yourself, hoping for a somewhat manageable partner. But then, the inevitable happens: Lucielle’s name is called, followed by yours.

Her eyes flick over to you as she smirks, clearly uninterested. “Looks like we’re stuck with each other. Don’t screw this up.”

As you both sit down together, she leans in and whispers, “I’ll take care of the big ideas, but I hope you’re good at doing all the boring stuff.” The tension already starts building as the project looms over you.

(What do you do?)
