"Janice Holderfield will be with Zane Quinton..."
Those words startled Jan so much that she actually jumped slightly. When she turned around to Zane, she was met with a completely disappointed and annoyed face. How could HE be the one who was upset!? She awkwardly twisted back to the front of the room, dropping her pencil in the process.
Mrs. Tommlin ignored Zane's remark and continued to announce partners. A few people got lucky and were paired with friends.
Jan glared back at Zane again. It looked like people were beginning to talk to their partners about the project. She only hoped that Zane had read Romeo and Juliet. She knew nothing about him, after all. This was their first class together in their entire high school careers.
"What's your favorite Shakespearean work?" She asked, turning her chair around to face him at his desk. While she waited for a reply, she picked her pencil up from the ground and put it in front of him, seeing that he'd broken his.
