Thinkin Bout You
Bucky's Pov:
It’s been two weeks since Tony’s party and Bucky still couldn’t figure out who mystery nerd is he searched all over instagram for a Sal that went to his highschool to no avail. He was honestly contemplating just calling off the bet and facing the ridicule.
MESSAGE TO: THE BIG THREE
Steve: FIRST DAY OF SENIOR YEAR GUYS
Nat: it should be a crime to be this hyper before 8
Bucky: This year is gonna be a shit show
Steve: Forgot my friends were debbie downers. You still haven’t found the mystery guy Buck
Bucky: Are you guys sure his name is Sal
Steve: That's what clint said I can ask tony
Nat: Steven. Stop looking for reasons to talk to tony. You guys are O V E R
Steve: Debbie downer :(
Bucky: Do either of you guys have AP chem?
Steve; No sorry
Nat: Geek.
Bucky: This year is gonna be miserable.
Sam's POV
Sam reviewed his schedule for classes and couldn’t decide how to feel. He knew taking all aps was a lot but he had to do something to make himself stick out to the ivies. He had to get of of this god forsaken town
Sam slid into the first empty seat he saw in the ap chem classroom and started taking notes on what the professor was saying. The only way to do good in these classes was to make sure he took great notes so that's what he was doing when the professor said that the seats they were in now would be their seats for the rest of the year. Sam was internally relieved assigned seats really helped when it came to his social anxiety.
“So class you have the next two minutes to introduce yourselves to your partners before I move on to telling you guys about the first project of the year”
Sam awkwardly tapped the desk for 30 seconds while he decided whether or not he or his partner would make the first move. Eventually he realized it would have to be him so he mustered up as much courage as he could before thrusting his hand out “ Hey, i’m Sam.”
The boy sitting next to him snapped his neck up and Sam immediately recognized him… wow he was in for a long year
Buckys POV
The second Bucky saw the words AP on his schedule he knew senior year was going to be the worst year yet. First hes about to lose a bet to clint and have to hear about it until hell freezes over and now an AP class full of nerds. Not only was he in an AP class full of nerds the class was his first class of the day. Who wants to wake up and think about protons first thing in the morning. Bucky was so lost in his thoughts of how miserable senior year was going to be he didn’t notice someone slide into the seat next to him until he was introducing himself.
“Hey i’m Sam” the boy said, thrusting his hand forward.
“I’m Bu-” Bucky started before he was cut off
“Bucky right” Sam offered while Bucky nodded “I think we met at Tony’s party”
“Yeah maybe right before you ran off”
“Sorry about that” Sam replied sheepishly “I have really bad social anxiety”
“No hard feelings Sam. Seeing as we’re lab partners until the end of the year we’ll have plenty of time for chit chat” Bucky replied with a grin
“Perfect” Sam smile.
The professor started talking about the first project of the year but honestly Bucky was too busy eyeing Sam to care about anything that was being discussed. Wow this year is shaping out better than Bucky thought, and the best part is Sams very handsome. This bet was gonna be so easy.
MESSAGE TO: THE BIG THREE
Bucky: Clint doesn’t stand a chance
Nat: You found bet boy
Bucky: He’s my chem partner. No help to you dumbasses btw his name is SAM
Steve: I told you I could’ve asked tony.
Bucky: Let it rest.
Bucky: I’m so winning this bet tho. Clint can suck it
Sam’s Pov
MESSAGE TO: THREE LITTLE BIRDS
Sam: Do you guys remember how i told you i met that guy at tonys party
Rhodey: The one you ran away from
Riley: I’m still unclear did he run away from the party or the boy.
Rhodey: Both
Sam: ANYWAYS
Sam: He’s my lab partner in chem
Riley: PLEASE don’t tell me you ran away again.
Sam: unfunny.
Rhodey: its a very real possibility knowing you
Sam: I’m getting new friends
Sam And no, we talked and now we have a project together and I was gonna ask you guys if you think I should text him
Rhodey: yes. duh
Riley: YES
Sam: ok!
Riley: Don’t be a chicken.
Texting Bucky was honestly harder than Sam thought it was gonna be. After 30 minutes contemplating what to say he quickly typed a message to Bucky before throwing his phone across the room and going to help his sister prepare dinner.

MESSAGE TO: bet.
Bet: Hey this is Sam. Sam Wilson were chem lab partners. I was just trying to see if you would be willing to work on the project. Let me know if not its cool I can do it alone.
Bucky: would never let you do an entire project alone. If you want we can do it this weekend
Bet: Okay cool. If you want we can meet at my house or yours or we dont have to meet at a house. Whatever makes you comfortable.
Bucky: Sam its okay no need to stress. Your house at 1 is cool
Bet: Great
Bucky put the phone down and sighed Sam was awkward in a cute way but also Sam was just cute in general. He was already having second thoughts about this whole bet idea but whatever senior years gonna be great.
