The memories from their series of altercations in middle school came flashing to them there was no way this could work, Julie raised her hand slightly “sir can i change my partner please sir” “no you cannot Julie this is final and also class this accounts for 40% of your grade on this subject” “I dont want to work with that blabbermouth” echoed George, “well you have to or else you fail” the school bell rang cutting through the tension and everyone started emptying out the class.
