Regina felt herself falling asleep, dozing off throughout the lecture, not even twenty minutes into class as she put her head down and was scolded over and over for it. She couldn't help it; Mr. Bakers was so boring, and his history class was boring too. She enjoyed history, but he made it hell and so many other students kept getting yelled at for dozing off too. She sighed heavily in frustration as the teacher turned, and smiled at everyone. "So, we are going to begin a project on World War 2. You will take a topic from a list of events and themes from World War 2, and present it to the class next week. It can in the form of a video, or a poster... anything creative enough that you can manage." Mr. Baker's said, and then he took out the list. "There are Airplanes, Concentration Camps... How Japan was involved, The Nazi Youth organizations... once you have your partner, you will come up to my desk and pick a topic." he said, glancing at everyone before continuing with his final sentence. "Now, go on. Choose your partners."

Of course, Regina's first glance was towards Sarah but she wasn't even there today, the desk empty and lifeless as everyone else scattered and the room was suddenly abrupt with life and the loud chattering of young adults shifting desks around. Regina then looked towards Aiden with her bright, blue eyes and she shyly waved at him and made a gesture before she got up and she timidly walked over with her bag in her arms and sat down in a desk next to him. "Do.. you wanna be partners, Aiden? Or... do you have... um, someone else in mind?" she asked, her voice quiet, barely heard from all the yelling but if he was actually listening he could make out what she was saying. She pulled some hair in front of her face to hide most of it as her fingers nervously fiddled with her bag. Despise Aiden's eye, Regina didn't have anything against Aiden. She thought he was nice and fair; he never did anything mean to her and she had seen the harassment he went through, and she felt bad for him. But he was a nice kid, and she didn't have any problem hanging around him, even if she was more timid around males.

She felt something hit her in the back and she glanced back over her shoulder to see Brian Golding, one of the "popular" boys, and his last name suited him since his skin was like the goldest tan anyone had ever seen, with his spiked dark hair and sparkling green eyes that pierced through a girl's heart- except Regina's. Brian had used to tease her relentlessly when she was younger, and he still did... but more of sexual teasing then anything. She looked down to see that a watted up soaking wet spit ball had hit her in the back and she grimaced in disgust, looking at Brian with a harsh stare as he laughed at her. "Hey, Gina! Nice rip!" he said. Regina blinked a few times, in confusion before she got up and noticed a rip in her jeans on the back of her right thigh, exposing her fleshy white skin and she blushed slightly before she sat back down, hunching her shoulders as she tried to ignore him. He made crappy insults, and for some reason, tried to find the least obvious things about her to insult her. She didn't understand, and she tried to act like she hadn't been bothered before glancing back at Aiden with embarrassment and red cheeks.

I've probably just lost my only chance at having a partner, too. she thought, chewing on her lower lip.
