“I would like all of you to pick a partner for the project I mentioned!” The teacher called from the front of the classroom. Lance picked his head up to look at Hunk. Unfortunately for him, Hunk and Pidge were already sharing a look. Lance heart quenched and he looked away. It was fine. Hunk had other friends. So did Lance! He glanced at Allura but saw her already paired with the new girl, Romelle. They seemed to be getting along swimmingly. He glanced over at Keith and Shiro. Of course they were already paired together Keith caught his gaze and gave him a sympathetic look. Lance gave a tiny smile back. At least somebody noticed him.Well, there goes all his friends from this class.
Lance sighed and looked away, missing the way Keith kept glancing at him. ‘The assignment probably didn’t matter much. I’m going to be fine. I am always fine.‘ Even Lance didn’t believe his own thoughts, he sighed and closed his eyes, once again, feeling like the third, fifth, seventh wheel.
