Thread: [[Distine x Dysy]]

Iris? Are you paying attention? She was day dreaming again, she could afford to but that didnt mean the teacher enjoyed her lack of enthusiasm for his class. A stern voice and an even icier glare had the brunette pulling her eyes from whatever distracting thing was outside to the boring material upon the board. Blinking slowly the petite female only pursed her pink lips together to stifle a sigh of frustration. Iris Connolly was the classs self-appointed nerd. While she hadnt meant to make for such a title for herself, the lack of attention she paid in class, but the steady flow of As was enough to get a name started for herself. She was your typical junior in high school, ready and anxious to become a senior and graduate ready to take on the world and college. But for now, her brown eyes were set up on just concentrating in class, which became harder and harder as the seconds ticked away from the teacher catching her attention. All the noises blurred together but it helped that she wore headphones that droned and buzzed out the boring sounds of class with music. Iris! He was in front of her, his large intruding hand placed in front of her. Brown eyes lifted to meet that same glare, as she rolled her eyes and slowly removed the earbuds. Were discussing our group projects, Im sure youll be pleased to find out who your partner is today. Iris could only feel herself sink further into her oversized red hoodie. She wore red today it was almost as if she was asking for the teacher to pick on her. Iris was a petite girl, in all sense of the word. The girl only stood at a small 52, and most of the clothing the girl wore tended to be in all oversized sizes. It wasnt that she couldnt afford decent clothes, it was simply that many articles of clothing were simply sized too big for her small frame. But Iris wasnt frail in any sense of that word she was a spitfire, and everyone knew it. Her personality made up for her stature, and while she never felt she over compensated for such a fault, it wasnt as if having a bit of an attitude helped in defending that case. She was almost the complete opposite from some of her classmates, namely a pretty blonde cheerleader, that Iris had her eyes set on since the start of class. It wasnt as if the other girl was anything special, at least, thats what Iris told herself, but she was fascinating nonetheless. The two had seldom talked, aside from the daily pleasantries, Hi and Hey with a strange exchange of glances if the conversation was outside of class, but today would change that, especially with the announcement of that blonde being her partner. Excuse me? Iris finally piqued. Ah, I see Ive finally got your attention. I told you your partner for the project is name here. Now, allow me to finish telling the rest of the class their partners, and you may move to your designated area in the class to exchange numbers, addresses, e-mails, what have you and whatever you may need to get this project done. The teacher had had an odd way of picking pairs, but often his favorite ploy was to pair someone like Iris, with one of the students who did sports it wasnt as if the jocks, be it male or female, were considered dumb in his opinion, and needed Iris help, but school was a place to socialize outside of ones normal social circle, and what better way to get a little forced intimacy than to pair two polar opposites together? When the teacher finally finished throwing out the pairs, he announced to allow the students to mingle with their new partners, get to know them if they didnt already, and to start discussing the project before the end of class. Gathering her stuff up, Iris slung her backpack onto her back and slowly made her way over to the blonde that would soon be her new partner. Approaching the girls desk, it was more than apparent to Iris to how different they really, physically were, but she didnt allow this to falter her. Anxiety and nervousness werent parts to Iris personality, they were hindrances and Iris wasnt going to allow those to stop her. Extending her hand the most blunt form of a greeting Iris could manage, she gave a genuine smile, Hey, Im Iris. Youre insert name, right? Yeah yeah, Ill think of a title just getting lazy and its pretty early here. I do my best thinking at night, not in the morning.
