julie <3 why the heck does xavier even have to be my partner for this [redacted] project. of all people, xavier is the one that i'm partnered with. he doesn't even have good grades, and he just goofs around all the time. "well," my mom says, spooning soup into a bowl. "you're just going to have to learn to work with him." "mom," i protest. "xavier doesn't even know what this project is about!" "that's what life is like sometimes." she turns around and faces me, her face filled with surprising understanding and warmth. "you work with people you like, and with people who don't pull their own weight." she shrugs. "you learn to work with both of them." xavier <3 why the heck does julie have to be my partner for this [redacted] project. "julie," i say, tinkering with some bits of metal and bolts in my hand. "why don't we just make it a poster? it's much easier." she scowls at me, her hazel eyes full of concentration. honestly, it's very cute. "because if we want the extra credit, then we can make it a 3d model." she adjusts the sleeves of the light pink top she decided to wear today. i roll my eyes. typical julie, always going above and beyond. "right. and you have time for that?" "and you don't?" she shoots back. ~ you learn to work with both of them word count: 225 a/n: hehe making xavier and julie bicker was the best part of this whole thingy uhh and yes there were some words that scratch would not let me say so yay
