The Assignment's Partner

Natalia Díaz, a Junior student at Orange Beach University, doesn't waste time getting involved in romantic affairs. She has worked hard to obtain the scholarship that allowed her to be in the prestigious university she attends, and she is not going to ruin her future by falling in love again. An assignment in one of her classes paired her up with Alexander Bailey, a rich, rude, nerdy snob, as she likes to describe him, from first impressions. This assignment has forced them to spend time together, and at the beginning, it seems almost impossible for them to get along, since they couldn't be more different... but sometimes different is good. Who knows, maybe different is what they have been looking for all along. The story is written from both of the main characters' perspectives (Natalia's and Alexander's).

Under Pressure

Alexander

When we arrive at the steakhouse, we are seated in a booth right away. Natalia sits all the way in and I sit down next to her. Gabriela tells Aidan to sit across from Natalia and she sits next to him, across from me. I try my best not to show how nervous I am. The waiter places our menus on the table and gives Aidan a kid's menu and some crayons, so he can entertain himself by coloring. 

"What you got there?" Natalia asks her son playfully. He shows her the drawing and Natalia pretends to be excited by the design on the paper. It is a sketch of a farm and a few farm animals. Aidan colors while we look at our menus, and I observe the little kid quietly. "So, your stepfather is running for mayor, that must be exciting!" Gabriela says, establishing small talk.
