Get ready to cringe people 😂🤪

There I was the next morning, staring at the glass front doors of my school through the wind shield of my mum's car.
"Bye mom" I said, getting out of the car.
"Bye, sweetie, have a nice day" she replied, driving off.
I walked through the doors and went straight to my lockers to get out my geography text book. I had geography first period and I did not like that. As a matter of fact, I didn't like anything about Mondays. I dragged my feet to my class and headed straight for a seat at the back. I sat down, arranged my books and stationery on the table and then rest my head on the table.
I heard someone drag out the chair beside me and I looked up to see Blake.
"Hey" he greeted me, sitting down.
"Hi" I replied, a light smile on my lips.
"How was your weekend?"
"Well, on Saturday, it was boring, for most parts, other than when Clover, came over" I shrugged, leaning back on my chair "then on Sunday, after church, I slept till it was dinner time and my mum had to yank me out of bed"
"You sleep a lot?" he asked chuckling.
"Nah, only on weekends. How about you?"
"I've never really been much of a sleeper. I only - " he started.
"I was talking about your weekend, how did it go?" I cut him off.
"Oh," he said, reddening a little "Well, aside from the usual, basketball practice with Coach Bruce on Saturday and a family function I attended, let's just say, I watched TV throughout"
Just then, the teacher came in and we stopped talking and faced him.
"Good morning class" the teacher greeted and then started the lecture, not waiting for a reply.
"As you all know, your projects for this semester would be given this week, so you have enough time to do your research and all" he said as the class was coming to an end. "I've assigned you to your partners and the list has been pasted right outside the classroom along with your project topics. Do check it on your way out and have a nice day."
Just then, the bell rang and he left the class. I put my stuff into my bag, waved Blake goodbye and went out to check the list. Surprise, surprise, my name wasn't on the list. Crap.
"What's wrong?" Blake asked, coming out of the class. I probably looked worried.
"My name's not on the list" I said pouting.
"Really?" He asked, furrowing his eyebrows. He then checked and confirmed it.
"Can you direct me to the teacher's lounge?" I asked.
"Sure, this way" he said as he started to walk.
"Wait, aren't you going to check who your partner is?" I asked stopping him.
"Oh yeah, right" he said turning to check "Stacy Flinn"
"Ugh" I rolled my eyes as he took a picture of their topic "Goodluck with that one"
"Way to go, Dobberman" he chuckled "Could have left me without a partner so I'd do the project myself, because even with Stacy, I'd still do the project myself"
I laughed as he led the way to the teacher's lounge. We walked down the hall, took two turns and there we were. Heaving a sigh, I knocked and after a faint come in, we both entered and he led us to the teacher's desk. On his table was the name 'J. Dobberman'. What a wierd name.
"Hello sir, I'm Daniella Robinson, from the geography class you just had" I greeted.
"I have a Daniella in that class?" He asked confused.
"Yeah, I'm new" I replied.
"Oh, that explains" he said "I'm guessing your name wasn't on the list?"
"Yeah, it wasn't" I replied.
"Sorry about that" he said, muttering something about the school not being responsible enough, while getting out some papers from his drawer "Um, what was your name again?"
"Daniella Robinson" I said as he inserted my name into an empty space at the bottom of the attendance sheet.
"Alright, now I'd have to add you to a group because you're the last person" he said, his eyes scanning the sheet.
"You can add her to mine" Blake spoke up, making the teacher look up.
"Oh, Mr. Harper, didn't see you there" he said looking behind me.
"Sure" Blake replied sarcastically, making me chuckle.
"Alright, so group 10 is now Stacy Flinn, Blake Harper and Daniella Robinson" he stated.
"Okay, thanks" I said. He nodded in response and we made our way out of the office.
"Thanks Blake" I said to him as we walked back to our lockers.
"It's no problem" he shrugged, a smirk on his face "besides, I have a selfish motive"
"Stacy huh?" I said laughing "What if she decides to actually work on the project with you, how will she take the news of a third partner?"
"First of all, I highly doubt that she'll suddenly be interested in her studies and second, even if she is, I know how to handle her" he replied, tucking his hands in his pocket.
"Alright then" I replied as we walked to my locker, where we met Clover.
"Hi" she waved at him, pushing her glasses up her nose.
"Hey Clover" he replied and then turned to me "bye Dani" and with that he walked away.
I told her about what happened as we walked to our next class which we had together, English. She didn't fail to remind me that she thought we looked 'cute' together and I didn't fail to shut her up.
* * * * *
The rest of the day rolled by quickly. I had pasta for lunch with Clover, during which we talked all through. She then told me about what had happened to her just that morning.
Apparently, Thomas, her crush, which she just recently admitted to me, even though I totally knew, I think you get the point. Anyways, Thomas had stopped Cynthia and her friends from bullying her and he even defended her against Steve.
I mean, I should be a life coach, cause I totally called it. Who called it? That's right, I did.
After she told me all that happened, I went on to gloat about how talented I was at giving advice, even though I didn't think so yesterday, but who cares, I predicted this!
I walked out the school doors and scanned the parking lot, my mom hadn't arrived. Great. I spotted Blake with a girl, leaning on his Porsche, looking bored while she seemed to be enjoying herself.
He looked at me just as I was about to look away and waved me over. Uh-oh. I then walked over to them.
"Hey Dani" he greeted, just as I reached them.
"Hi" I waved.
"Stacy, this is Daniella" he said pointing to me.
"Oh I know this bitch" she suddenly said glaring at me. Okay, we're cursing at each other now. "She's the one who told Cynthia off"
"Nice to meet you too" I said, a fake smile plastered on my face making her roll her eyes.
"Okay, I see you guys have met" Blake said
"Anyways, Stacy here was just saying we should meet up at her house tomorrow to start dealing with the project" he said giving me a look that said 'You called it, Dani. How'd you do that?'......or at least that's what it looked like to me, cause yet again, I proved...... that I'm a freaking magician!
"But I think we should meet up at my house instead, what do you think?" He continued.
"Um, why are you asking her? What does she have to do with this?" She sneered.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't inform you, we're a group of three now and she's the third person" Blake replied.
"What? Why?" She screeched.
"Because she didn't have a group so Dobberman added her to ours." he explained, clearly amused by her flustered face.
"Why does she have to be the one?" She said like I was some kinda vermin.
"I'm right here you know" I said folding my arms across my chest.
"I don't care! I - " she started but was interrupted by Blake.
"Stacy, she's in our group now and there's nothing you can do about it, so deal" he said with finality. Oohhh, he sure handled her, because she shut her mouth right after that. "Now, where do you pick Daniella?"
"Let's meet at Blake's" I said making Stacy roll her eyes.
"Won't even want you over anyways" she muttered then said "Fine, I'd be there after school by 5 tomorrow, Blaky" and with that, she strutted off, her super-micro-mini-skirt, bouncing around.
"Blaky?" I asked turning to look at him, an amused smile on my face.
"Don't wanna talk about it" he groaned making me laugh. He then handed me his phone to put in my number and I did just that. "I'll text you the address"
"Sure" I replied as I noticed my mom's car pull in "that's my ride, bye Blaky."
"Come on, Dani" he groaned as I walked over to my mom's car, an amused smile on my face.
