Geek Transformation.

Chapter 11.

I was currently seated in class shoving some books into my bag in my own little world.

Thankfully nobody has bothered me this morning.

Just a few death and or disgusted glares from Claire, Vanessa, and other students.

Matthew just avoids my presence every moment he can get.

It's like he's scared of me, but he isn't.

He's scared of Slade.

Who warned him not to lay a hand on me.

"Ok class attention!" the teacher speaks seeking our attention.

Once she has gained it she picks up a clipboard and clears her throat.

"Before you leave, I will be assigning you each with one partner" she starts.

This causing everyone to look at each other and chat whether who they wanted to end up for the project.

Of course I have no one to talk to.

Slade is barely in my classes.

We take the same exact classes, just not at the same time.

Sadly.

I squirm uncomfortably in my seat due to being the only quiet one.

"Silence please!" she orders.

Gaining the fellow student's attention once more she continues.

"For this project which you will be doing with a partner....and yes it has to be with a partner" she states giving me a few glances.

I quietly sigh with my eyes shut.

The students start to chat again.

"I wonder who's gonna end up with the geek" someone says.

"I hope that nasty nerd doesn't get paired up with me" says another.

"I know that's like popularity suicide!" giggles one more.

Don't let them get to you.

Just ignore their rude comments.

They're not true.

I tell myself these things over and over until the teacher asks for silence again.

"You with your partner will pick a country from South America and do a study on it. Writing a report on the information you have gathered you two will present it to the whole class. You may use books, the internet, ect. This will count as half of your grade.And each partner has to do work or else both will be effected, so for those who don't do work. There isn't slacking off this time" she explains.

"Do we get it?" she questions.

Some nod, others respond with saying yes.

"Ok, now for the partners" she adds looking down at her clipboard.

Nervously I shut her voice out until I hear my name.

Who could I be partnered up with?

Will they want to do any work?

What would they say to me?

How would they react?

Why am I overthinking this so much?!

I sigh once more.

"Grace Evans!" I here her call.

Alert my eyes dart to where she's standing and I focus my attention on her who is reading the clipboard.
