Don't say anything back. Speak to your teacher and say exactly what you said here.

Well im sorry you got stuck with such a jerk, but i think the next time you are assigned a project you should go ahead & do your own, this way the kid cant complain that you didnt help, because you will have your own. I dont think that you should tell your teacher because he will give you crap for for (Being a tatle tale) Thats just how kids are. I think if you show your teacher that you are doing the work, even thought you aren't working with your partner she will eventually see that the two of you dont work well together & give you a new seat & a new partner to work with

I agree with 2 cents, talk to the teacher. If they know your situation, at least it doesn't matter what lies he says.
As tempting, and even just, as it is to say rude things back, it's not good ettiquette. When he yells you didn't help, calmly say that you would have if he'd have let you. Whatever rude remarks he says to you directly, the proper response IS ignoring him. It won't make him stop, but being rude back makes you just... okay, almost as bad as him.
I hope the teacher moves you and you have a better time the rest of the year. If not, well, rude and annoying people are out there in the world, and you'll have some experience to deal with them. Consider that his gift to you.

There really is no need to say things back to him. Just because he isn't nice, doesn't mean you have to not be nice. Ask your teacher if you can move seats, explain your position, that he's very rude to you, and you feel uncomfortable sitting near him. Tell the teacher you feel threatend, that will get them to move you in a hurry.

Approach your teacher before class, after class, or at the end of the school day. Ask him/her if you can change seats, and explain fully why you would like to change. But, don't lower yourself to his level by trying to find something to say back to him. Because at that point, he owns you, or controls you. You don't need that. You seem like a very intelligent person to me. Good luck in your new seat!

Get his e-mail address.. should be easy since you are working on projects together.
Anonymously annoy him to no end! Create a new e-mail account with his own name on yahoo or something and send it to his e-mail address all day with random messages. You could include how rude he is, make fun of what he wears to school, etc., that may straighten him out a bit!
If not, it will drive him crazy having e-mails coming in to him from "himself"!

smart mouth comments:honey, it looks like you could use all the help you can get,and then some.when he says loudly that you didn't help at all-say the boy genius didn't think he needed any..If he starts to get smart with you just stare at him, and get ready to say- were you saying something or do you have gas. If all else fails, ask the teacher to move you.You are NOT anyones doormat. Remember that...ALWAYS

I'm surprised your teacher hasn't said anything to him. I teach 6th grade reading and behavior like that wouldn't be tolerated. You might talk to your teacher. He or she should let you move. The kid could be jealous of your intelligence or something else.

Request a new seat. Tell the teacher you're not learning anything in that group.

i had a similar problem with with a girl above my locker who would say "Come on im on a time limit here!"So one day i got so mad I said "There are other people on a time limit besides you too you know.".But I wouldn't try that just say you know that's really inconsiderate , then get a note from your mom or dad saying you want to switch seats.Give that to your teacher the minute you walk in.Middle school is like that though.

This is a form of bullying. Talk to your teacher and tell exactly what happens. Discuss with them other action you should take.
Stand up for yourself and say something like "You insisted on doing it all yourself, and you KNOW it!"
