Chapter Text
DAY 1:
“Alright, class! For this next project, everyone will be partnering up so please just work with the person next to you.” Patrick could not believe his luck- or lack thereof- his friend Chris was nowhere to be found. He shot him a quick text.
P: Dude, where r u?
C: sry man, im skipn
P: shit we have a group project tho
C: fuck
C: make sure prof puts me with someone hot ;)
P: fuck off
After everyone moved into their groups, he was the only one without a partner. “Patrick, you can either work by yourself or join anoth-“
“OH MY GOD! I am soooo sorry! There was an emergency and my friend wa-“
“Mr. Rose,” the professor said annoyed. “Please refrain from continuing your interruption and join Mr. Brewer. We are about to start a group project and I would hate for you to miss more than you already have.”
David was more than a little flustered and at least had the decency to look a bit embarrassed but he still seemed unreal in like a how is your hair so perfect kind of way. Patrick was high-key pissed. Something about David just rubbed him the wrong way. Ok no. Everything about him. David and Patrick had been in the same Intro to Business class for three weeks before they said a word to one another. David was always sitting with his friend Stevie and Patrick... Well, Patrick didn’t really want to have anything to do with David Rose. Patrick knew all about the Rose family. He knew about their money and how the two Rose kids got everything they wanted without having to work a single day in their life. Which was ironic considering his first job was in a Rose Video.
David sat down next to Patrick, in a manner that could only be described as gracefully and held out his hand in front of Patrick.
“I’m David Rose, sorry I wa-“.
“I know who you are” Patrick replied briskly. David smirked back at him, still holding out his hand.
“Ugh, fine. I’m Pa-“
“Patrick Brewer, I know who you are too,” David said casually as he shook Patrick’s reluctant hand and started looking over the assignment.
“Wha- how do you know my name?” David looked back at him with a sincere smile.
“Oh, I know everyone’s name in my classes.” Patrick shoots him a look of disbelief.
“Ok, all of the attractive people’s names,” David says defensively. Patrick blinks once, then twice.
What.
