College Life

I walked into my English class, found a seat and got my materials out and ready. There was still about 5 minutes until class started so I took out my phone and went on Instagram and Pinterest. Soon enough the English professor Mr. Matthews walked in. "Okay class. Today I will start by taking role like usual, then we will talk about the reading that was assigned last night, which I am sure all of you completed" everyone chuckled at his statement a bit. I of course did the reading, I don't understand when people say 'I was two busy to do the reading.' I have two part time jobs to pay for college and living expenses and I go to college full time. "And finally I will assign a partner project at the end of class and before you ask or get excited, I have picked your partners and I will post that list at the end of class." I could hear sighs of disappointment from around the room.

"Aww come on Mr. M we should at least be able to pick our own partners." One of the school jocks Zayn said, his buddies Liam and Louis agreeing with him. Why did they have to sit in front of me, they are so annoying, and they are even more annoying when their leader is here.

"Because it's my class and what I say..." Mr. Matthews was cut of a the door opening. "Well well well thank you very much for joining us Mr. Styles. If you would please take a seat." Harry nodded and took a seat next to is football friends, right in front of me. 'Great' I thought to myself. I dislike the football team at the school so much because they are rude, they act like they are better then everyone, they expect special treatment, and they are players. The cheerleading team isn't any better. I mean I know footballers and cheerleaders who are nice and sweet like my brothers when they played football and my little sister cheers, but that does not apply any of the ones at this school.

The class went by quick which I was thankful for. "Now don't forget to see who you partner is for this project. It's a huge part of your grade." Mr. Matthews reminded the class. I waited until almost everyone had looked at the list. I skimmed until I found my name. 'No fucking away. No no no this can't be happening.' I thought to myself. I felt someone look at the list over my shoulder.

"Looks like you and me are partners." Harry said to me with a laugh. I turned around to face him and almost bumped into his chest because he was so close to me. I looked up at him. "I can't wait to get together and work on this project with you." He said in a seducing tone of voice while picking up a piece of my hair and moving it out of my face. I could hear his friends snicker behind him. "How about we meet tomorrow at my fraternity to go over the project." He suggested with a smirk. "Here is my number if you need to get in touch with me. At anytime." He said as he handed me a small pice of paper. I took the paper out of his hand quickly.

"I'll meet you at the school library at 10 am tomorrow." I said and walked away. I can't believe I have to work with him, but maybe I don't have to. Instead of going straight to my apartment I went to my professors office. I knocked on the door.

"Come on in." Mr. Matthews said. I walked in. "Ahh y/n what can I help you with?" He asked as I took a seat across from him.

"I need a new partner for this project." I stated.

"Y/n I..."

"Please." I cut him off. "I can't work with someone like Harry." I continued.

"What do you mean someone like Harry?" Mr. Matthews asked.

"In all honesty a selfish jock who is rude, cruel and a player."

"Look y/n I know that his is different from other that you have worked with but I am asking you to give him a chance."

"But..."

"Please." He asked.

"Fine. Just one chance." I said.

"That's all I am asking."

As soon as I got to my apartment I dropped down on the couch with a huge sigh and closed my eyes to start relaxing from my hard day.

"Well what happened to you to put you in such a great mood." Kelsey asked me, while moving from the back rooms and sitting down right next to me on our couch.

"I got a partner assignment today in English." I responded with my eyes closed.

"Hum...well I know it's not fun working with a partner but it can't be that bad." Kelsey said reassuring me.

"That's not the worse part." I said looking at her. She looked at me for a moment then responded with.

"Oh come on. How bad can it be."

"I got paired with Harry as my partner." Kelsey's eyes widened. " and he gave me his number to call him." I continued as I held up the little pice of paper with his number scribbled on it.

"HARRY! As in Harry Styles!" Kelsey said propping up in excitement. I nodded my head towards her. "As in caption of the football team." I nodded again. "Do you know how many girls would die to be working with him on an assignment.....including me."

"Well you or any other girl who wants to work with him can have him. I don't want to have him as a partner." I whined as I leaned my head on her shoulder.

"Hey don't you have work in like forty minutes." Kelsey asked.

I looked at the clock and answered "Yeah." I sighed again and got up to get ready for work

It was around 9:30pm when I got home from waitressing and decided to face time my Dad and my little sister Jessica. After a few rings my sister picked up dads phone.

'Hey where is dad? And why did you pick up his phone?' I signed to Jessica.

'Dad has trouble figuring out how to answer a FaceTime call.' Jessica signed back. 'Plus he is in the other room.' She continued traveling into the room where our dad was.

"Hi dad!" I said when his face appeared on the screen.

"Hey honey how is college life treating you?" He asked.

I paused for a moment then answered "Good.. Things are good."

"Oh no what's wrong?" My dad asked with a worried tone.

"Nothing really....you know rude and disrespectful customers and .....I just got paired with this one guy that I can't stand for a project." I responded.

"Well unfortunately sweetie you are going to have to work with people you don't particularly like, but I have faith that you can make it through."

"Thanks dad."

"Now get some sleep will ya?"

"Will do dad. Love ya and Jessica."

"We love you too." He responded and in the back I saw Jessica sign I love you. After ending the call I decided to go to bed I am going to need a lot of rest if I am going to deal with Harry tomorrow.
