Get To Know
John and I were in Drama, and Mrs. Bennett was talking to the class. She was telling us to pair up with somebody that we didn't know to do the Get-To-Know-Someone-And-Make-A-Poster-About-Them project.
I sighed. "Wow, look at all of the people rushing to pair up with me," I mumbled to John.
He smiled at me. "Don't worry about it," he said, and got up from his desk. He walked to the corner of the room, leaving me to fend for myself.
I had been considering asking a few people when I heard John say my name. I turned around and saw him standing next to a girl with dyed orange hair and a boy with a mustache. I recognized them as being John's cousin and her boyfriend.
"Christal want you to be her partner," he said.
I nodded happily. Apparently he was pairing up with William, her boyfriend. She came to John's desk and sat down with her binder and a pencil.
She asked me to ask her a couple of things, and we started talking, first about favorite things, typical questions for a Get-To-Know-You project, but eventually we moved on to things like John and William and how we had met. She told me her middle name was Monique, and she liked it better than Christal, so I told her I would call her that. She was a really cool person. I suppose, although I don't like saying this, we "hit it off" or whatever, which hardly ever happens to me. Afterwards, we went to go join John and William, who seemed to be getting along as good as we were. All in all, I'd say it was a very successful project.
John and I permanently moved in front of Monique and William's desks. We talk more than we ought to. I think we've become a clique.

I always cheat during those "get-to-know-you" things. I always pick one of my best friends, and we say we have never met. Though the plan does fail if you happen to have a jerk in the class who knows you, and then ruins your plan, and makes you seem like an idiot.
I can't believe you guys already started school. I don't start untill about August 31, or so. Then school ends (It always seems) like June 9th.
What I would do to met you guys, (You, John, Tyler, ect.)I guess that's half the fun of knowing someone 2000 miles away, and only communicating through the internet.
I forgot to mention that John is a sweetie for getting someone to be your partner. My friends never do that. I guess they are just too concerned with themselves. Not that I'm bitter. He he.
>_<
GOD!!!!!! I WISH I HAD THANE IN ONE OF MY CLASSES! *chant* all hail thane! *chant*
