, the science teacher, had assigned partners for her eigth period Science class. They wouldn't be permenant partners, just for the day, becuase it was an in-class assignment. Mrs. Hartford was the kind of teacher who wanted everybody to get along. She knew about Jimmy and Cindy's constant bickering, which is why she paired the two together.
"What? I can't work with her!" Jimmy yelled, pointing at Cindy, who yelled, "What? I can't work with him!" and pointed at Jimmy at the same time.
"Now, look, I want you two to try and get along. I'm sure if you put your differences aside, you could be great friends!" Mrs. Hartford said in a voice so cheery and optomistic it was actually scary.
Jimmy and Cindy glared at each other.
The project was to look up information about the ocean on the internet, discuss with your partner how you think it benefits the Earth, and share it with the class at the end of the period. This seemed like a simple enough project to do without getting in a fight. For normal people, maybe. But not Jimmy and Cindy.
The class had gone down into the computer lab. Each set of partners was sharing a computer.

Jimmy and Cindy haters: I can't stand those two together all because of the smartest boy/smartest girl drama.

This was quite a good story. The only thing is that you made Jimmy wrong in the argument. Thomas eddison didn't invent the light bulb, he only improved it. Unless your point was to make Cindy right, then I retract my point.

haha nice work and sheen's outburst was hilarious XD

haha the characters are spot-on, nice work!

hilarious.

lol cool

have i ever told you that i LOVE this story? it's so cute and romantic, an amazing job i love your style

following you on showmance!

AW! i love it! When they get trapped on the island, is my favorite episode!

Aww... I loved the island episode! XD Very nice fic, and very well-written.

You have a problem with mixing the tenses up. It has to be either past or present. For example-

The usual crowd that resided in the Candy Bar sighed in annoyance

this is an example of a perfectly good sentence in the past tense.

For some reason this now heated squabble has become the third one this week

Now, this part of this sentence is in the present tense, where the second part is in the past tense. either is correct, but they CANNOT be mixed. A lot of young authors do this, but most of them learn as soon at it is pointed out and explained. my brother used ot have a terribel problem with it, but he learned. he sounds a bit like steven king now, with less morbid horror. Good luck.

great ending to an excellent story! keep up the good work!

Very well done. Excellent job with all the characters, and no wonder Cindy had been so short-tempered.

Keep the good writing.

I loved this story. It was short, but in a good way. Hope to see you write more soon.
