Started a new story...Well here you go.
"Alright class, you guys are going to do a project that is new to the whole school. It's a social awareness project. This means you will pair up with a student that you have never talked to before, you will learn about each other, and in 3 weeks a 5 paragraph essay on this person will be due. You will have to socialize with your partner to get good information."
The teacher starts to pair up students. Student's partners are almost totally opposite of them.
"Michelle you'll be paired with Gabriel."
Gabriel, of course, was not even paying attention. He had a lot of other things on his mind. Gabriel's mom worked nights and she was an alcoholic. The kids at school made fun of Gabriel, because they think he is "weird" because he does not socialize. So, for the remaining 15 minutes of class, the teacher told the students they could meet with their partner and learn about each other. Gabriel, being shy waited for Michelle to come to him.
She said, "Hey, your Gabriel right?"
"Yeah, that's what most people call me."
"Most people?" She was confused.
"Yeah, some people call me 'ugly bitch'" He said.
"And you take that crap?" She questioned again.
"Yeah, I figure why not. I'm not good enough for this world anyways. It might as well be a living hell for me."
"Why do you think your not good enough?" Michelle asked.
"Wait...What's your name again?" Gabriel questioned trying to get off the subject.
"Michelle, you don't look like the kind of kid that doesn't know somebody's name."
"Yeah, it always just looks like I'm paying attention." He told her.
"Oh...Anyways, you didn't answer my question." Michelle stated.
"I don't think, I know I'm not good enough." He said. He wasn't going to open up to anyone let alone her."Let's just get off the subject.
"Fine, if you don't want to answer my question then you don't have to." She sighed. |
