the assignment with the devil
One cannot plan for the unexpected. - PictureQuotes.com
Jasmeet POV:
I thought to myself: "Why is it always me?" Instead of answering the two bullies, I sat down in the first row and opened my history book and started reading the summary of the chapter which had been covered in the previous week. I really could not wait for the day to come when I got rid of these people who made my life a living hell.
I just ignored them and thank God the teacher entered the classroom and the lesson began. I liked history very much and I also managed to ace all my projects. I just prayed that this year we had less projects as this was a torture for me because I was so hated by my fellow students.
„ Students, we have a team assignment!" Mrs. Mendes exclaimed happily. I sighed again and I just hoped I got a nice partner. „Miss Kaur you will be teamed with Mr. Bradley. He really needs to improve his history grade in order to be able to join one of the prestigeous Universities!"
I buried my head in my arms and then asked kindly: „ Mrs. Mendes, why did you assign me with this guy? The whole school knows that he hates me and that I hate him!"
The elderly woman shook her head with disapprovement shown on her face, and said: „No switches possible anymore. I am sure you two will work it out!"
Shawn also exclaimed at her angrily: „ Why must it be her? There are so many other bright students in this class!"
Mrs. Mendes answered him calmly: „ Mr. Bradley, no student will be able to help you achieve such a excellent grade like Miss Kaur can! As I said before no more switches possible! If you continue making a scene, I am forced to give you another lesson of detention."
This was the end of the discussion and I listened absent- mindedly to the things Mrs. Mendes said. The topic of the group project seemed easily: Choose a conflict which was overlooked in the international media and present 25 minutes about it. I already knew the topic which I wanted to choose but I knew that Shawn would be an obstacle and would disagree with me just to drive me crazy and insane.
When finally the bell rang, I could not wait to escape. But unfortunately before I even could stand up, Shawn stood beside me. He looked at me incrediously and I raised my eyebrow. „ We have to work together for this now, Kaur! I really want to attend one of the ivy league universities!" he told me in a serious tone. I began to laugh as Shawn was never a student who cared so much about his grades and future. I snickered: „ Oh really, Bradly really. With your thick skull, this will never be possible. I am sure that you will not be able to get into one of the top Universities!"
He looked at me angrily and I could see that his anger was beginning to raise. I sighed and thought to myself: Oh no, what did I get myself into now? Why did I open my big mouth?
„ Kaur, do not go there! I have the wits and smarts to attend Harvard, Yale or Oxford. It is not like I was inscribed since my birth in this university!" he sneered arrogantly.
Shawn always assumed that I was pre-enrolled in Oxford. But this was not the case. I worked hard for this and earned this spot by real sweat and blood.
„Shawn, we have to go!", whined his assumed girlfriend Nathalie. She was truly a beauty however, this was overshadowed by her personality. She had long brown hair and was very skinny. Her face was flawless and she always wore the latest fashion. She was one of the persons I despised the most. She shot a murderous glance for keeping Shawn so long occupied. Shawn nodded at her and finally he left.
I let out an exasperated sigh and Aryan came up to me.
„ Jassy, do not worry about your grade. It will be fine. Just trust me on this one. He will not jeopordize his only chance for a excellent grade!" he tried to calm me down. He knew with one glance that I was having a internal battle.
He took my hand and instantly I was calm. He would have been an amazing boyfriend but since I knew him my whole life, I never saw more than a brother in him. I answered him much calmer:
„ I know, Aryan. Everything will be fine!" He nodded and we were finally able to head off to lunch.
The rest of the day passed by in a blurr and I was so happy the moment, I left the school building in Kensington. Aryan did not leave with me as he still had cricket practice. I went to my SUV but to my disappointment and horror, Shawn Bradly leaned against it casually. I noted his handsomeness and thought to myself: If he was not a jerk, he would have been fine, handsome to say the least. Wait what am I thinking? „ Finally, Kaur. I have waited so long for you. Lets go now. We have to start the project!" he exclaimed impatiently.
I shook my head as I remembered that I had to meet my parents in Southall to look for a dress for my sister as she was getting married in five weeks.
„ Bradley, I do not have time for the project. I have to head to Southall and meet my family. Tomorrow after school would be much better!" I answered. „ Kaur, why dont you have time? It is not like you have a social life, you nerd!" he mocked me.
I sighed and replied: „ My sister is getting married and I need to go with my family to the shop. But you don't understand something about family!"
I knew that Shawn's family was torn apart and that his home was not perfect. After I said those words, I realized that I made a mistake and I instantly regretted my harsh tone.
