Adam came back to school the next day, much to Aurora's delight. Having him there was nice, like a part of herself she hadn't known was missing was given to her.
They walked to biology hand-in-hand, silly smiles plastering their faces. His black hair was messier than usual and she could see the deep circles behind his thick frames.
"You okay?" she asked him.
He nodded as they took their seats. Mr. Moore came in the classroom and slammed the door.
"Let's begin." he said and started taking role.
He lectured after that and then jokingly made the comment, "If you can sing the Periodic Table of Elements song, you get extra credit."
Adam raised his hand and said, "Can I do that now?"
Mr. Moore laughed, but nodded. "Okay, Adam."
And Adam began to sing, "There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium
And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium
And gold and protactinium and indium and gallium
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium
There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium
And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium
And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium
And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium and barium
There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium
And phosphorous and francium and fluorine and terbium
And manganese and mercury, molybdenum, magnesium
Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and caesium
And lead, praeseodymium and platinum, plutonium
Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium
And tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium
And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium
There's sulphur, californium and fermium, berkelium
And also mendelevium, einsteinium, nobelium
And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc and rhodium
And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin and sodium.
There are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard
And there may be many others but they haven't been discovered."
The whole class just sat there in shock. What had just happened?
Aurora had a huge grin on her face and Adam grinned at her.
Sure it was geeky, but it was super cute, Aurora thought.
Then the bell rang and Mr. Moore asked Adam to stay back. Aurora stayed with him.
"I can't believe you actually did that. Not many high schoolers could do that, or admit they could."
Adam shrugged, "It's just who I am, sir. No use trying to change it."
Mr. Moore nodded, "I'll be giving you 10 extra credit points for that, Adam. It really was amazing."
Adam grinned and took Aurora's hand. "Thanks, Mr. Moore."
They walked out of the room and Aurora kissed his cheek.
"That was so cute." she said, taking his hand.
His cheeks turned a little pink and Aurora's grinned widened.
Today was a good day, Aurora thought.
