lab partner
The person you’re forced to work with when you’re too lazy to pick someone else. They’re your best friend, but you’re also scared to admit you like them. You’re both too chicken to even hold hands.
'I told my lab partner I like them, and now we’re both screaming into our pillows.'
'My lab partner is my best friend, but I don’t know if they’re my crush or just my partner in crime.'
'I asked my lab partner to be my partner in the science fair, and they said yes. Now I’m panicking.'
