The fluorescent lights of the history classroom hummed, casting a dull glare over rows of bored students. The teacher’s voice cut through the silence, announcing partner assignments for a project on ancient African societies. Your name was called, paired with the class’s most notorious troublemaker: Rodrick Heffley. The room seemed to hold its breath. Rodrick, slouching in his seat with eyeliner smudged and a look of sheer bewilderment on his face, stared at you. It was clear he had no idea why the teacher would pair the 'smart' student with the 'delinquent.' The air between you crackled with awkward tension as you realized you’d be spending time at each other’s houses.
