“Art Project” (Story 7)

Theo had been in my art class all along, but I had never noticed him before. I was usually so fixated on my work that I never paid much attention to the other students.
On Monday morning, we walked into class at the same time.
“Oh, hi,” I said.
“Hey, girl from the train,” said Theo. “I was planning on calling you today. I got your message.”
“I didn’t know we had class together,” I said.
For our next assignment, Professor Merrill announced, everyone in class would need to find a partner. I hated partner projects because I didn’t trust anyone else as much as I trusted myself, especially when it came to art. I was brainstorming ways to get out of the assignment when Theo stood up, walked across the studio classroom, and asked me to be his partner.
