It wasn't that Darcy didn't like history. The thing that bothered her about history was the fact that it was inevitably written by one party for one party. Despite all the proclamations otherwise, history inevitably carried a certain bias. There might be a push, an attempt, to understand the other side of the coin, especially when it came to wars or things of that nature, but on the whole history, high school history certainly, seemed to be of the opinion that they should sit down, shut up and memorize a list of "important" dates that coincided with battles that had been won or lost depending on what period in time they were currently discussing. Sometimes the memorization list also included "important" people. It was lacking something as far as she was concerned, but it was high school. The primary role seemed to be to give them as much knowledge as the majority could hold and then pass them out the door anyway so she might as well grin and bear it since it. Although grin might be taking things a bit far.
The teacher was currently breaking them into pairs for class presentations. There wasn't anything that Darcy liked more than working in a group. Really. It was fantastic in all of its potential eye gouging out tedium, but that was another thing that high school seemed to want to teach them: teamwork aka how not to kill someone who does five percent of the work and still gets one hundred percent of the grade because Darcy had never bothered to inform any of her teachers when her assigned partners failed on their end. It had a little bit to do with her being a bossy, control freak who didn't want to jeopardize her own grade in lieu of idiot input so it was a fair trade all things considered.
She was used to being assigned to morons who couldn't research their way out of a paper bag by this point so she was a little surprised to hear that assignment of, "Chloe Richards and Darcy Sung." Well, that was terrific. So far she had managed to avoid Teo, but now she was going to have to interact with his girlfriend who had probably gotten a laundry list of all the things Darcy had said about her the night before. Oh, high school had never been so much fun.
Sliding her chair over to Chloe's desk, Darcy looked the girl up and down and then lowered her voice, "Okay. So we either sit here and pretend to care about this assignment, or I ask if we can go to library and then we talk about what we really want to. Your choice." Then she folded her hands and waited for the other girl to respond in the affirmative.
