The chaperone (Mrs. Lancaster) got out first.

Then we filed out swiftly.

"Partnerships shall be announced in the museum itself. You all have five minutes to stretch out. Go" she informed, yelling the last command.

I sighed, and did a few push-ups with Jeremy Marcone, Ryan Mulligan, and Kazuya Tstumi. The order of people whom did them the best was:

1) Ryan Mulligan

2) Me

3) Jeremy Marcone

4) Kazuya Tstumi

We stood with a jolt of enthusiasm when Mrs. Lancaster told us we would go in now.

The class of 19 people filed in silently. "As you can tell, someone will be paired with me. They will be the luckiest ones of all. The partner ships are on this piece of paper. You may all now come up and look at it!" she called out.

I squeezed my way up. The names on the second row were:

William Scofield and Kazuya Tstumi

God, I was with Kaz. He was almost as slow as Mrs. Lancaster.
