Chanel's P.O.V
"Chanel! Hurry up, we have like twenty minutes before school starts." Cole called from downstairs. I was busy looking for my phone, and I don't remember where I dropped it last night, because I slept off while using it.
"Cole, please call my phone!" I waited, and after a few seconds, my phone started ringing. The sound was coming from my bed, I removed my comforter, but didn't find it. I removed my pillow and saw my phone lying comfortably there.
I took my phone and went downstairs, after carrying my bag. I met Cole sitting on the kitchen island eating cereal. "Why are you eating cereal, when you said we have twenty minutes left to go to school?"
He looked up at me with a smug look on his face. "I only said that to hurry you up. We actually just have like an hour before school starts."
I looked at him, surprised. "Why would you do such a thing? What's wrong with you, Cole? I had to finish bathing and dressing up in thirty minutes." The nerve of this boy. Remind me why I have a brother again?
"Well, what can I say? This was my back to school prank on you." He smiled sweetly at me, and went back to using his phone.
"So what you are telling me is that you woke me up earlier than the usual time I wake up, and told me I was late, when I wasn't? You are such an idiot." I playfully glared at him.
"You love me." He said. I went towards him, and smack the back of his head. "Chanel! That was painful." He said glaring back at me.
"You love me." I said back to him with a smug look, and decided to make pancakes and egg, since we still had one hour to school.
We got to school and Cole packed his car in the parking lot. Throughout the ride to school, we kept bickering at each other about who is better in Captain America and Iron Man. And of course, I kept saying it was Captain America, like who doesn't like Chris Evans?
It's not like I don't like Iron man, like Tony Stark is a handsome and all, but Chris Evans is just...you get me?
A lot of students were already in school, even when we just had thirty minutes to school. Back at my school in New York, it's when the last bell rings you see people rushing inside, and the hallway will be crowded.
I made my way to my locker, and dropped my books inside. I decided to just scroll through i********: while I wait for the bell to ring for class. I looked up from my phone, and saw Ian talking with two guys a few feet away, at his locker.
He was wearing a white T shirt, a blue denim jacket, and black skinny jeans. He had a brushed up hair style, and he had his glasses on.
I waited until he was done talking to them before going to meet him. "Hi, Ian." I said waving at him. I hope he doesn't ignore me like he did yesterday afternoon at the parking lot.
He looked up at me, and furrowed his eyebrows. Didn't he recognize me? "I recognize you, Chanel." He said as if he read my mind.
I smiled, and he smiled back a little. "Why are you here though, did you need something?"
"Well, I just wanted to greet you. What class do you have first today?"
"I have chemistry."
"I also have chemistry. Let's go to class together then." I said, and he nodded closing his locker.
"Where are you guys going without me?" Someone said, putting their arms around our shoulder.
I was about hitting the person, when I turned to the side and saw Israel. "Israel."
"Yes, that's me princess." He said grinning at me.
I removed his arm from my shoulder and glared at him playfully. "You almost scared me, you asshole. And who is your princess?"
"I thought girls liked being called princess?" He said as we kept on walking to class.
"Well, not me. My name is Chanel, call me that."
"I will stick to princess. I call some of my female friends princess, and they like it."
I looked and him raising a brow. "Who said I was your friend?"
He pouted. "You hurt me, princess. I thought we were friends already."
"Keep dreaming boy, keep dreaming." I said and entered the class with Ian, who went to sit at the middle row. So I decided to sit beside Ian on the right, since Israel decided to sit on his left.
Mrs K entered the class as soon as the bell rang. I don't know what her actual last name was, since everyone called her Mrs K. Was her last name krusty krab? Or Kane?
"So before we start the class, I want to tell you guys that we will be having presentations this semester. One for each month, and you guys would have to pair in twos." Mrs K said, and almost everyone cheered thinking they would get to choose a partner by themselves, but she decided to surprise us.
"And no, you guys wouldn't be choosing partners by yourself. I have written down half of the names of people in this class, including the new students. So, the people that don't have their name written here would pick a paper from this bowl, and whoever you pick is your partner." She concluded and began going to different people to pick.
She passed by me and gave Ian to pick, and he did. I hope the person that picks my name is a sensible person, and not some weird person.
I heard Ian whispering something, but out of what he said I only heard damn. What happened to him?
"Who is your partner?" I asked, and he looked up at me with his cheeks tinted red a little.
"You." He said quietly, looking away. He was my partner? At least it's better than having someone I don't know as a partner.
"You are okay with that right?" I knew he wasn't fond of me, we just met yesterday. But I hoped he was okay with it though.
"Yes, it’s okay. I have no choice anyway." He said.
"So by now, everyone should know their partner. I will give each of you a topic, explain what you should present, and how it should be presented before the end of this class. So today we are continuing Gas Laws..."

"Israel, it would be nice if you stop eating out of my Lays when I am not looking. If not, you wouldn't like the consequences of your behavior." I said sending him a glare.
We were currently at the school field watching some kind of experiment that could not be demonstrated indoors, but outside in the open by our Physics teacher. But being the good student some of us are, including Ian, Israel and I, weren't paying attention.
I was eating snacks and scrolling through my phone, Israel was talking to some of his guy friends, and also disturbing me at the same. Surprisingly, Ian was reading a book, but I didn't know what book exactly he was reading.
I knew he was the quiet type, but I didn't take him to be the reading type. I moved closer to him and checked what he was reading. "You are reading a biology textbook?"
He looked up. "Yes, is that an issue?" He said staring at me through his glasses. I really wanted to know the color of his eyes, it looked kind of grey, but I wasn't sure though.
"We haven't even had any biology class though."
"Well...I like reading ahead." He said, and looked away flustered. He is so cute.
"You don't need to be embarrassed, it's cute." I said and pinched his cheek. Did I just do that?
Yes, you just pinched his cheek, i***t.
He looked at me with his eyes widen. "Sorry." I said, and I was the one that was flustered now. Why did I have to embarrass myself?
"Princess, can I have some Lays please?" Israel said shifting closer to me.
"Don't you have guys to be flirting with? Why come for my Lays?" I said trying to shift away from him, because he kept coming closer to me. "Israel!" I glared at him as my chips poured on the ground, as he kept trying to snatch it away.
He looked at me completely shocked. "Princess..." After a few seconds, he started laughing.
I looked at Ian, and saw him chuckling quietly. "You think this is funny?" The nerve of these boys.
I couldn't help but smile. "You are getting me a new one anyway." I threw the wrap at Israel, as he poked his tongue out at me.
"But you had eaten more than half of the chips." He whined.
"How is that my business?" I shrugged and looked away from him towards Ian. "So, do you always wear glasses? Like since you were little?"
"Um...I started wearing glasses recently. I wear contacts sometimes."
"Oh, okay." I said, and went back to using my phone.
