Six Sentence Sunday 2/19/12

Welcome back sixers! Today's snippet is from my recently completed novella As Long As You're Mine. When you were in college, did you ever get paired on an assignment with someone you really liked?

Zac’s heart raced and he reread the name scrawled across the top of his paper several more times, hoping it would change. God, why did Cassie have to hate him so much? Not only had she given him a song from the most amazing musical ever to perform, it was by far the most intimate song in the entire show and she’d paired him with the hottest guy in the entire class. He didn’t think he could do this.
He’d been getting ready to traipse down to Cassie’s office and demand a new partner, but when he looked up, Wade was strolling towards him, hands stuffed in his pockets. Zac swallowed, his breath deserting him as he drank in Wade’s muscles, the plaits in his hair, the darkened caramel complexion of his skin.
