~Abby's P.O.V~
The bell rings and everyone leaves except me and Maddie.
"Do you want me to stay?"She asks.
"Yeah....Didn't you need help with your science homework?"I say
"Yeah...Mr.Styles should still be here!" She says and runs out of the class room.
Mr.Payne walks into the room when Maddie leaves. He walks over to me.
"So do you want to work on your math now." He asks.
"Please you didnt want me here to study!" I say.
"Yeah you caught me!" He says laughing.
~Maddie's P.O.V~
I walk down the hall and finally reach Mr.Styles' class. I knock on the door while walking in. He looks up from his work.
"May I help you?" He asks.
"Yeah I was wondering of you could help me with the science homework?!?" I say.
"Of course." He says.
I walk over and grab a chair from the table in the corner of the room and put it beside him and sitting down.
"So what are you having trouble with?" He asks.
"Umm......I don't understand how the molecule enters the citric acid cycle."
"Ok so do you have the notes from class?"
I nodded and grabbed the notes from my backpack and laid them on my desk.
"Ok so what is the molecule that enters the citric acid cycle?"
"Uhm the acetyl-CoA."
"Right and thats the start of the citric cycle."
I nodded and he continued.
(Don't have to read all the information below)
(" First, the cycle begins with the transfer of a two-carbon acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to the four-carbon acceptor compound to form a six-carbon compound.Then the citrate then goes through a series of chemical transformations, losing two carboxyl groups as CO2. The carbons lost as CO2 originate from what was oxaloacetate, not directly from acetyl-CoA. The carbons donated by acetyl-CoA become part of the oxaloacetate carbon backbone after the first turn of the citric acid cycle. Loss of the acetyl-CoA-donated carbons as CO2 requires several turns of the citric acid cycle. However, because of the role of the citric acid cycle in anabolism, they might not be lost, since many TCA cycle intermediates are also used as precursors for the biosynthesis of other molecules.Third most of the energy made available by the oxidative steps of the cycle is transferred as energy-rich electrons to NAD+, forming NADH. For each acetyl group that enters the citric acid cycle, three molecules of NADH are produced.Four electrons are also transferred to the electron acceptor Q, forming QH2.At the end of each cycle, the four-carbon oxaloacetate has been regenerated, and the cycle continues. ")
I finish my homework and Mr.Styles procedes to tell me what we are doing next week. I look at my phone and it's 5:00pm.
"I should go and find Abby and see if she's ready to go!" I say.
"I can walk you to your dorm room if you would like!" He says.
"Yeah......ok!" I say.
Me and Mr.Styles walk to my dorm room. I open the door and Destiny is sitting on her bed studying.She looks over at me and her eyes widen.
"Hey Mr.Styles what are you doing here?" She asked.
"Just walking Maddie to her room!" He says.
"Why" she says.
"Mr.Styles was helping me with my homework." I say.
"Ok." Destiny said.
~Abby's P.O.V~
We talked the whole time about what I'm going to do when I get out of college.
I grabbed my things and zipped up my back pack. As I walk out of the door he kisses me on the cheek. I blush and walk to Mr.Styles' class room. When I get there the door is closed. I try to open the door but it's locked. I pull out my phone and text her!
Me~ Where are you?
Maddie~At my dorm! Mr. Styles walked with me back to my dorm!
Me~Oh thank god I thought you got kidnapped or something!
Maddie~😂
Me~Well I'm heading to the dorms now!
I start walking down the road to the dorms when a car pull up beside me. My heart is beating out of my chest. I keep thinking what if they get out and kill me! They roll down the window and I see Mr. Payne....I mean Liam! I have to get used to calling him that!
"Need a ride?" He asks.
"Yeah sure!" I say hoping in the car.
Liam pulls into where the dorm rooms where and I get out of the car and walk up to the door I hear footsteps behind me. I'm suddenly turned around and Liam's lips are on mine. We pull away and I walk in and go down the hall and into my dorm.
