Project? You messed it up!

In a barren land with no shop or bus stop nearby Maya along with Zoe, Leo and Kama stood under the scorching sun.

"So what are we doing here?" Maya asked as she crushed the empty can and looked at the three culprits in front of her.

.

"I am innocent they planned to go out on a day like today and they were the actual ones who choose this place," Leo said as in a blink of an eye he was already standing beside Maya who was tricked into coming here.

.

"Leo! How can you tell her everything?" Zoe asked as she clenched her fists,

"Don't blame him and spell the bins," Maya said as she looked at Zoe who was now looking at Kama for help but he was too busy on his own imaginary land.

.

It has already been a week since both Leo and Kama joined the school and ever since then there is no such thing as peace in her life.

.

A Few Hours Ago,

In the classroom,

"Students remember to do your survey according to the topic I have given and don't you dare to

bunk the classes in the name of research." Their sociology teacher said as he gave everyone some sheets of paper along with the work they are supposed to do.

.

"Maya, we are in the same group! we have such good luck don't you think so?" Zoe said as she hugged her and that hug was more like buttering her up so she won't give her any tough work to do. And Maya knew about it yet she kept quiet.

.

"Maya why won't you say anything?" Zoe asked as she made Maya face her.

"I am not going to let you off the hook. So stop buttering me up and think about the places we can visit for the survey." Maya said straightforwardly as she patted her head and made her turn to the other side.

.

"Maya, why are you being so cold~" Lizzy said as she came and stood before Maya with her hands behind her waist.

.

Maya looked at her and with a smile she said,

"I am not going to do your work too."

Hearing that Lizzy froze on her spot as she laughed awkwardly while clenching the paper she holding.

.

"Come one Am I that lazy that I won't be able to a project that too when it's a group one....but it's just that....our topic doesn't suit us so I thought how about we exchange our topics?" Lizzy said as she gave Maya the project she was given.

.

Maya looked at the project for a second and said,

"Lizzy, although this is indeed something I would like to do still I can't go against the teacher's orders and working out of our comfort zone isn't that bad right?"

.

"....You are right although my offer is still open so call me if you change your mind," Lizzy said as she moved back to her seat.

.

Both of their conversations ended right there and it was sure that they won't have any exchange of ideas and their projects but it wasn't the same for Kama who heard their talk.

.

"( She likes that project....so should I help her get it without being afraid of the consciousness?)" Kama thought as he looked at Maya whose eyebrows were frowned as she was reading their project and for sure it looked like she was having a hard time.

.

While looking at her, he somehow meet his eyes with Zoe who was giving him a questioning look of, 'What are you looking at?"

.

While looking at her he suddenly got no idea, so her signalled her to come to his seat.

Zoe tilted her head and then she stood from her seat and went to his.

.

"Why did you call me for?" Zoe asked as she looked at Kama who looked very excited.

"Let's do our project together!" He said as he smiled to which Zoe gave him a 'What?' look.

.

"But Kama groups have already been formed and Maya and I are on a team and there is no way I am going to form a team with another person nor we will take another person in.....especially you.." Zoe said as she smiled at him,

Kama getting the straight rejection got a little embarrassed.

.

"And Why so?" Kama asked as if she wasn't aware of the reason.

"Why? Kama your marks on the last class test spoke a lot and Maya won't be handle both you and me it's too much for her." Zoe said as she stood from his bench.

.

"This deal can't happen~," She said as she returned to her seat where Maya was still working hard not paying any mind to others.

.

*Sigh* "( Now what should I do?)" He thought as his eyes landed on Leo who was quietly doing his work. He too like Maya wasn't paying any attention to the girls around him asking to be his partner for the project.

.

"Hmm, Leo is intelligent, Isn't he?" He talked in the air as the boy infront of him replied.

"He indeed is, I even heard that he won the best student of the year award continuously for 3 straight years at his old school and he has won many prizes for the English Olympiad at the national level."

.

Listening to all his achievements Kama couldn't help but stretch his head, "Seriously! How can someone study much? Even listening to it makes me sick!" Kama complied as he kept his head on the desk while looking at him.

.

"(If he and Maya are in a group together then for sure she won't mind having two slow workers with her, would she? I bet she won't! )" He thought as he rose from his seat and was about to call Leo but the teacher entered the class and he wasn't able to talk with him and that serious continued until their lunch break.

.

"Leo!" He shouted as he entered the gents' toilet where Leo was washing his hands and Kama to make sure he doesn't disappear again pinned him to the wall blocking both the sides with his hands.

.

"Leo I have something important to tell you!" Kama said as he looked straight at his eyes.

"What is it and before that....there are people around and we aren't shooting any BL drama, so move back," Leo said as he removed his hands.

.

"Oh, I am sorry!" He said as he bowed towards Leo and the other boys there who looked quite flustered.

.

"Keep it up, boys! we support you!" The other boys some juniors and seniors said as they left them alone making their air all awkward.

.

*Sigh* "Why do they always have the wrong idea?" Kama said as he ruffled his hair.

"It's obviously because someone keeps giving the wrong idea," Leo said as he looked at Kama who couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

.

"Leave all that and tell me why we're you so desperately trying to look for me?"

"That, let's form a team for the project I mean."

.

"Nope."

"But why? Is it because I am weak in studies? Well, you don't have to worry about that since we will be forming a team of 4, including me, you, Zoe and our vice president Maya." Kama said as he smiled whereas Leo's ears twitched as he heard Maya's name.

.

"Vice president, did she agree to it? Because I heard she made a group with classmate Zoe." Leo asked as he wasn't sure of his proposal.

.

"She didn't but I bet she will agree and there is another thing I need to do so please brother help me out!" Kama said as he joined his hands and looked at him with pitiful eyes.

.

"Okay but only if she is agreeing to it." Leo said as he touched his mask and Kama happily nodded his head as he kept looking at Leo.

.

"...Now will you please leave I need to wash my face..." Leo said and Kama politely nodded his head as he left the washroom.

.

Leo watching him leave checked the washrooms to make sure no one is around and then he removed his mask and washed it with water and within a minute he was back with his mask.

.

"(...Maya...just what in the world is their reaction?)" Leo thought as he looked at the wall where Kama pinned him.

.

Meanwhile with Kama, he was now standing to inform their sociology teacher along with Zoe talking about their change in a group setting.

.

"So both you and Leo are new so indeed it would be hard for you work with others you are not familiar with so I can allow you four to work together but as for the change in the topic of the project I can't really agree to it until both the parties agree with it." The teacher said as he smiled at them.

.

"Sir, about that you don't have to worry since Lizzy wants to exchange with us and Maya wants to do this project too but she is just afraid of going against your order," Zoe said as she handed him both of their projects sheets.

.

The teacher looked at the project and a smile crept on his face, "Well if that's the case then you guys can exchange your project but remember there is no going back from this point onwards." He said to them as he gave them a serious look.

.

"Yes Sir!" Both of them said as they exited the room and excitedly went back to their classroom form where they somehow compelled Maya to join them along with Leo and that is how they are nowhere standing in a barren land.

.

"We...We...exchanged the project with Lizzy!" Kama said as he looked at Maya who was ready to kill him at any second.

.

Meanwhile in the teacher's office,

"Sir we have completed our project," Lizzy said as she handed him her groups project.

"So fast?" He asked as she titled his head.

.

"Yes sir, the previous group had almost completed their project but I wonder why they exchanged with us at the last minute? Although it turned out to be good for us." Lizzy said as she smiled happily.

.

"I see but don't worry I am giving your team homework on writing about the Society in 1000 words so that the competition is fair and square."

.

"Teacher please don't...." Lizzy pleaded.

"Think about what the other group must be doing to think how to start a civilization in that barren land and think about yourself you just need to sit and your home and write." He said to Lizzy as she just nodded her head understanding his intentions.

.

"I wonder what those 4 kids must be doing?" The teacher thought as he giggled.
