The Scientific Jerk

Chapter Seven

Throwing away the bottle didn't feel right or wrong. But the air felt different in the room today. Oh wait. It's probably the new cologne Storm is working on.

Storm, Captain and I were the only people in the room.
I sat on my usual table. Most of the time, my table was messy. But today it was all organized and clean. That's weird. I pulled my phone out and looked for something in it.

"Aluminium,"

I looked up. It was Captain. He was standing right in front of me.

"What?" I asked.

"Aluminium, that's your elemental name", he smiled.

"Why Aluminium?" I asked.

"Because it's my least favourite element," he smiled again and walked away.

I should've seen that coming.

I rolled my eyes and went back on my phone. I didn't take his rudeness serious this time. Because I knew that Captain had liked my project. And all he was trying to do was make me feel bad. Lame.

I put on my fashionable purple science coat. I walked up to Storm who was having fun making his cologne. Storm was a sophomore, I had Home Economics with him last year. I never really knew his name until I went to Science Club but I remember that he was really creative.

"What you doing?" I asked.

"Trying to get rich," he answered.

"Rich for what?"

"For creating and selling the best cologne. It's business. Here, smell this cologne,"

Storm sprayed 4 times on my face. As much as I liked the smell, I hated that it was all on me now.

"Storm! Stop! It went in my mouth!" I yelled. "Actually, it tastes pretty good!"

It tastes like fruit punch. I want fruit punch now.

"Don't worry Aluminium," he had heard it, " it's edible."

When everyone else came inside, Captain called someone on the phone. And then few minutes later an actual adult came inside.

"Silence, we have a guest for science," Captain said. Why does he need to speak Shakespeare? And then mix it with science. Its the 21st century you know. 'Shakespeare science' is basically like eating an orange juice and toothpaste flavoured chips.

The adult guy told us about the big science competition that was going to be held after the semester.

You don't even have to listen to that guy Allison. You only have to go 3 more weeks here. No competition for you.

All the members looked excited for the competition. Just like how I get excited when I see cute dresses in the mall.

Then the adult dude left. Adult dude, I should name my kids that.

Captain gave us another project to do. This time we had to do it in partners. Cassy had caught the flu and wasn't here today. I turned around to see if there was anyone who was willing to partner up with me. No one.

I walked up to Captain. "Captain, I don't have a partner." I said.

He looked around. His hands tapped on the table. He fixed his nerdy glasses then sighed. "Well then Alumin, you shall be my partner."

Psshhh. Did I hear him right? His partner? Who wants to be his partner? He's a monster. And if that monster ever reproduced, who knows if human would still exist.

"Your partner? You're kidding right?" I laughed.

"This project would take approximately 2 and a half weeks if you do it with a partner. And 7 weeks to do it alone. It's your choice." He put his hand out.

2 weeks of Captain, or 7 weeks of Science Club?

I rolled my eyes again and shook his hand. Man his hands were soft. I bet he puts chemicals on his hands instead is lotion. I should start doing that.

Our project was to make fireworks. Dealing with explosives. No problem.

Captain gave everyone some colourful powder. Then he put the rest on our table.

"We get to make more Alumin!" He said. Great.

There was a purple powder. It was a good color. Wonder if I could make Captain eat it. What if it turns his chest purple. Purple tits. Trendy.

"Wonderful cologne you're wearing today, ma'am," joked Captain.

I tried wiping it off. "It tastes better." I replied.

He looked at me strangely for a second. Then he started laughing.

"So are you the one that gives results to Mr. Stanley on what I do in Science Club?" I asked.

"Correct," he put the purple powder in a green liquid. It turned red. Red tits. Also trendy.

"Well then why did you give him good results if you found my robot 'unsatisfying'?" I put my hands in quotation marks.

"Mr. Stanley liked your project. He suggested that you get credits for it."

"Oh", I said. Then I had an idea. "But Mr. Stanley said that you found it so interesting and that I totally deserved credits". I lied. Lying can be fun.

He looked closer at the red mixture. "Alright," he said. "You caught me."
