A few months later, Dr. DK assigned a physics project to the class. Students had to focus on a theme, design a prototype, discover how it operates, and do a presentation in front of the whole class. Dr. DK shouted, " I have assigned all of you with a partner, the list has been put up at the back of the classroom. Stay in your seats, I will read your names aloud." Aiden and Sarah had to work together. Olivia and Vincent were paired up for the assignment. And Mavis and Pauline were in a team. After reading out the names, Dr. DK yelled, "Students, get to work!"
Olivia gave Vincent a furious look and asked herself in anger, "Why do I have to deal with this creep?!" The rest of the class began working on their prototypes; however, some groups like Sarah and Aiden and Olivia and Vincent were having huge problems with one another. Sarah and Aiden's argument turned into a huge fight.
They both were yelling and screaming at each other! The whole class fell silent, and surprisingly, the teacher didn't even care! Both of them were shrieking sentences in their native language, and none of them comprehended what each one said. Sarah squealed, "¿No entiendes, idiota ?! Tu idea es igual que tú; extremadamente basura ¡No puedo creer que fui a la fiesta de graduación con un imbécil como tú!" ("Don't you understand, you dork?! Your idea is just like you; extremely garbage. I cannot believe that I went to the prom with an asshole like you!")
Aiden yelled back, "Nǐ rènwéi nǐ zhème cōngmíng?! Wǒ wúfǎ xiāngxìn wǒ shènzhì zài hélán xuéyuàn zhuā zhùle nǐ! Shìshí shàng, wǒ shì nǐ de péngyǒu! Nǐ shì wǒ jiànguò de zuì yúchǔn de nǚhái! Nǐ méiyǒu tóunǎo, nǐ zhège báichī!" ("You think that you're so smart?! I can't believe that I even caught you at Holland College! And the fact that I was friends with you! You are the dumbest girl I have ever seen! You have no brains, you idiot!")
Since Vincent was raised in China for 10 years and migrated back to Spain because of his father's business affairs, he understood what both of them were yelling at each other. He burst into laughter so hard that he fell on the floor, holding his stomach and rolling back and forth with tears coming out of his eyes. Olivia glared at him and shrieked with anger, "What the fuck is wrong with you!? I can't work with a moron like you! FREAK!" Sarah slammed her hands on the desk and screamed at Dr. DK, "I want to switch partners! I can't bear with this mug anymore!" Olivia yelled, "Me too! I can't risk my grades!"
Sarah and Olivia marched to Dr. DK, and the two boys followed them to the front of the class. The instructor had his feet on top of the table reading a magazine. Olivia said, "Sir, we need to talk to you." Dr. DK was so engrossed with the reading material that he didn't even hear what Olivia said. The four students lost their patience and yelled furiously in unison, "SIR!!" which startled Dr. DK and he screamed, "IS THIS THE WAY TO TALK TO A REPUTABLE TEACHER!" Sarah squealed, "We want to switch teams!" The teacher replied, "Absolutely not!"
Then Olivia stepped forward with a confident grin and suggested, "How about we take this outside, sir?" Both of them went out and came back within a couple of minutes. Dr. DK announced, "I will make an exception this time but don't do it again. Sarah, your new partner for this project, is Vincent, and Olivia, your teammate, is Aiden. NOW SCRAM!" Both teams had their partners switched and continued on their assignments. Sarah asked Olivia in curiosity, "Wait. How did you convince him?" Olivia answered sarcastically, "I just smoothed him with my charms." And the four of them walked back into the class with their new respective partners.
