Chapter 4

♡ Lauren’s POV ♡ I was in a state of meltdown until Mrs. Judith finished reading all the names. Just as I was bemoaning the way fate had treated me, someone came to my rescue. "Mrs. Judith, I want to change partners. I want to be paired with Magee.” Polly stood up and said loudly. Feeling happy, I jumped to my feet and said, "I agree with Miss Polly.” Polly and I would never have thought the same thing. Maybe I was acting too happy. Because the next thing I know, I hear Magee in a rage. I should have known he could never make me happy. "Do you take me for dead? "He growled, slapping the table hard. He was like a man-eating lion. His blue eyes looked at me, then at Polly fiercely. He shouted at Polly. "Can you do projects? Do you love learning? "Polly was speechless. They are the children of rich families come to dawdle, how can they study well. "I, I. . .” Polly was so worried she couldn't speak. Tears were welling up in her eyes. Then Lady Judith said, 'We'll make the list. No one may exchange them without permission. Now find your partner and discuss steps to complete the project.” Polly pulled miserably at Magee's sleeve as he pulled it out of her hand and continued to growl, "Go away! ” Polly walked away from him impatiently and went to her partner. I had given up fighting when Lady Judith declared that everything was final and unchangeable. So Magee is just looking for someone who can help him finish the project. That would make things a lot easier. I'm going to do everything on my own. Magee sat in his seat and didn't say a word, but his eyes were glaring at me. I saw no sign of him coming and went to find him. I'm going to tell him I'll finish the project myself. I don't want to have too much contact with this demon. Every time I meet him, he brings me nothing but pain. I went and stood beside him, afraid to sit down. He still looked at me with hatred, as if I had done something wrong to him. The look in his eyes scared me a little. I stammered, "Well. . . I can finish the whole project myself, and you just wait for the final project results.” I said and started to turn and leave. Who knew that he said coldly, "Who said you may go? " After hearing what he said, I didn't know whether to sit down or leave. What is he going to do? Isn't that what he wants? Complete projects effortlessly and earn credits. "Who gave you permission to finish the project on your own? "This is. . . Maybe he wants to work on a project together. When did he begin to love study? I was in my own shock and disbelief until I heard him say, "Are you dumb? Ass! ” Although Magee didn't succeed in his studies, he always succeeded in irritating me. I wasn't gentle enough to sit in the chair next to him. "So you say, how do you want to cooperate? "I open my notebook, ready to start writing an agenda and division of labor for a project. "Aren't you supposed to tell me what to do? He stopped staring at me with his angry eyes and put on his familiar evil smile. I turned to look at him with an expression of disbelief. This guy is ridiculous. It's no different than me doing the whole project on my own. And can he do a good job if I give him a job? I was cursing him in my mind when he put one hand on the chair and the other on the table, and leaned over to look at me.” I know I'm handsome. You don't have to look at me all the time," he said in a teasing voice. The volume of his voice must not be small, because I saw around a lot of students who had been lowering their heads to discuss have raised their heads to look at our side. I felt a look like a knife and turned around to see that it was Polly. Polly was sitting next to a boy excitedly talking about his plans. Polly wasn't listening. She was wringing her fingers and stamping her feet, her eyes on us. Alas, Polly is also one of the reasons I don't want to get too close to Magee. Polly hurt me in more horrible ways every time Magee came near me. Even if Magee is bullying me. Magee smiled complacently. He seemed to enjoy seeing me in distress. "What are you thinking, stupid ass? You've gone into idiocy again.” How many nicknames did he have for me? ! "I need to think about what you can do. It's nerve-racking to have an idiot teammate like you.” I raised my eyebrows and said bluntly. "Since you can't think of it, I'll be in charge of supervising you.” He spoke with a straight face, as if he were talking about something perfectly normal. I realized what a cheeky guy I was dealing with. "Hey, wake up from your dream and write down where you're going and when. I need to monitor you as you complete each one.” He continued to speak calmly. Just then, the bell rang. Clutching at a straw, I stood up to leave the room for my next class. But Magee grabbed my wrist and said,"You haven't given me schedule yet.” "I am too busy to play such childish games with you.” "Too busy being a whore to hang out with the men? "'he said suddenly, staring angrily at me.
