We were half way through the Chemistry project and I was almost basically finished, honestly Hayden gave up after the second day which doesn't surprise me. But I was glad we only had three more days on this because Hayden was seriously driving me up the wall. I couldn't focus when I was next to her, we non stop bickered, she was always obnoxiously chewing on her pink gum that smelt of sour apples and she was either continously tapping her pen or finger nails on the wood table.

Just as I was writing down the last sentence, I heard giggling coming from the side of me and behind me. Like every other person who did this, I immediatly turned around feeling concious in case they were laughing at me as my eyes met there's the other two girls immediatly shut up, hiding their faces and attempting to muffle their snickers.

Rolling my eyes, I spun back around to face my desk, attempting to write the final few words without  any other distractions. More giggling a few seconds later made me uncomfortable as I felt a slight pinching on my hair. Without hesitation I slapped the person's hand away, ruffling whatever was stuck in my pony tail out, scrunching up the several pieces of ripped up sticky notes between my fist before throwing them straight back in their faces. ''Stop it.'' I snarled.

''What the fu-'' Molly began to squeal. ''Jenna Stilinski! Is there any reason for you to be out of your chair?'' The teacher questioned abruptly. One of the girls opened her mouth to say something smug but I cut her off. ''Yeah- actually I've finished.'' I quickly responded, scribbling down the last word and plastering a clever smirk across my face, turning to flash it towards the three clones. ''Oh.'' The teacher seemed shocked, ''well done then!''

--

''Stilinski.'' A voice called as I immediatly rolled my eyes, hearing Hayden's demanding voice as her shoes smacked against the floor. ''What now?'' I breathed out. ''An A minus? Are you kidding me, you're such an idiot!'' She held up the paper as I stood, jaw dropping slightly.

''Are you kidding me- maybe if you actually got the second part of the research we would have got more- and actually be greatful it's a pass.'' I narrowed my eyes towards her.

''We-'' Hayden blinked towards me a few times. ''I don't want to hear it.'' Just as I turned around, a snag on the end of my hair caused me to jolt back.

''Don't. Touch me.'' I lowered my voice, not wanting to cause a scene. ''Don't walk away from me then.'' She bitched back. I was stunned. What the hell was wrong with her?

''I don't want to talk to you, Hayden. Just leave me alone.'' I could feel my anger building up but I didn't want to show it. ''I don't care, you got us a shit grade on the test.''
''You know-'' I cut myself off realising a few people were beginning to stare. ''Fuck you Hayden, I couldn't care less about what you think.'' Before anything else could happen I managed to escape away, her words lingering on my mind. An A minus wasn't shit. Maybe if she put more effort in we would have got more, but still what's wrong with an A minus?

Another week passed and the constant comments from Hayden was driving me up the wall. At first responding to them was fine, but after a while I just stopped saying anthing back, knowing she would have a response to literally everything I attempted to throw back in her way.

It was super irritating- especially because it was making me not want to go back to class, in fact I was beginning to skip lessons because of her.
