Had to take a long break from writing! Got quarantine depressed and didn’t want to write anything for a while. Here is a simple short story, no multi-parter, just wanted to get back into things first. Hope you enjoy.

We all stood at the front of the lab, passing along a stack of papers to one another.
“You will be assigned a partner for the semester, there will be no requests for changes, please do not beg that you be paired with your fraternity or sorority buddies. That’s all I will say about this. Now head to your assigned tables and open you course syllabus to page 3.” The bespectacled 60 year old professor flipped the pages of the print out along with the rest of the class.
I began to open mine to read a table of class participants, my name was next to another’s “Lauren Shellstein – Table 6”.
‘Oh I hope she’s hot…but also a good partner…but also hot!’
I started scanning the room, there was a group of blond haired women at the opposite end of the classroom. Maybe she was one of them? They all looked attractive but weirdly similar. The people around me started gravitating towards their assigned tables and I followed along.
