Petty Boycott

Ella's POV:

Okay, I might have just doomed myself by speaking up. What was I even thinking? Asking to switch partners with the school's golden boy—Jason Knight, of all people. Now, everyone's staring at me like I just declared myself an alien from another planet. Their shocked faces, the gasps, the whispering... like, seriously? Is it that big of a deal?

I just wanted to keep my head down and blend in, not get dragged into the drama. But no, fate had other plans. I've been partnered with *him*. The one guy I've been trying to avoid like the plague. And what's worse? Now everyone thinks I'm some ungrateful idiot for not wanting to work with the school's most "desired" guy. Newsflash: I don't care about your high school hierarchy.

This isn't going to end well, is it?
