She seemed nice enough. That was a good start . . or at least, he thought it would be, considering that she would be stuck with him for the next six months. He nodded his head in an absent-minded, tamed response, "Yeah, I guess we are." He lifted his head from his desk and looked across the room for a few minutes, silent and looking at the other partner groups. The whole project seemed out-of-place and . . odd. Completely unexpected.
Of course, it would take a monster class to raise his grades so he supposed that it would make sense to be so . . complicated, right? By why trust someone like HIM with little kids, anyhow? Ryder had a ball of questions, but none that seemed good enough to actually ask.
Ryder turned his head to her, briefly wondering what type of person she was. He didn't care enough to ask right now, considering they would spend the next six months together and quite frankly, he was feeling too tired right now. "So. . you any good with kids?" He offered, realizing that the girl was like a deer in headlights.
Yeah, don't worry, I'd feel awkward if I was someone nice like you socializing with someone like me.
