Clarissa sits in the class, she looks at other students, but then notices
that when she looks at them, they turn around from her, not wanting to see
her
Clarissa
This stupid school...
Clarissa switches her attention on teacher
Teacher
Alright class... Today, the homework will be done in groups.
Class groans
Teacher
The project will be a group project, one person is paired with two
other people, and if you have any questions, you can come to my desk
for help during class.
Teacher
So, how does that sound? Any volunteers?
Girls start to whisper between themselves
Angie
Homework? But we already did test today.
Clarissa
Maybe extra grades can make my punishment shorter
Hands rise into the air.
The teacher looks at the list of names
Teacher
Our first group will be Angela Lavine, Clarisse Garamond and Lana
Fein.
Angie and Clarisse raise their eyebrows and look at each, wondering who
this Lana Fein is.
A short, pretty blond girl, clad in a school uniform, with an
unbuttoned jacket,
stands up in the front row.
Teacher
Clarisse and Angela. Please pair with Lana Fein and work on this
project.
Lana turns around and looks at the girls
Lana
Hi! It's nice to meet you!
Angie waves her hands
Lana
Okay, let's get started then!
Looks like she is as naive there too
