Chapter 44: INDULGE HER

Lucas' POV

I was stunned when I heard the teacher call out Tiana and I as partners for the class project. Apparently, I wasn't the only one as the class began to murmur, shifting their gazes between Tiana and I. I didn't know what to think. Why would the teacher place us together? Surely, she hadn't forgotten the confrontation Tiana and I had in her last class, which led to the rumors, and ultimately the reason why the entire class was now murmuring about us being partners. I half expected Tiana's hand to to shoot up, asking for a change of partner though I wish she wouldn't. Being the jewel of the school and all that probably wouldn't be too hard but Tiana did nothing of the sort. She just sat calmly as if she wasn't bothered at all by the fact that we were now going to be project partners. My heart warmed a bit at the thought.
