Taking Chances

Problems With Pixies

A/N I'm so sorry this took so long, I caught a serious case of writers block and school stuff. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.
Bartholomew's first hour was quiet and uneventful. He had World History that hour so it really wasn't that surprising. His second hour, however, was drastically different.
     Bartholomew sat eyeing the test tubes suspiciously. They were supposed to be changing color by now, but for some reason his chemicals were being stubborn. He sighed and sat back in his chair, adjusting his goggles. The test tubes sat on the rack. Bartholomew narrowed his eyes at them, adjusting his goggles. The test tubes sat on the rack. He leaned forward and raised an eyebrow at them, adjusting his goggles. The test tubes sat on the rack. Adjusting his goggles he-
     " Oh my god! Just sit still no matter how many times you adjust your stupid goggles they're not gonna change! " snapped David. Bartholomew turned his attention from the test tubes and looked at David. Then he adjusted his goggles.
     " You know sometimes I really hate you," Said David.
     " I am aware of this, " stated Bartholomew.
     " Yeah well guess what."
     " What? " he asked.
     " Your test tubes are changing. " Bartholomew glanced over at the test tubes and sure enough they changed from clear to slightly blue and red. Of course when he's not looking they decide to change, fantastic.
     " Come on, let's start on the next problem." David said, but Bartholomew just sat there staring at the test tubes. The test tubes sat on the rack. After a while of angst filled staring, he finally disposed of the chemicals and turned to where David had set up the next expirement. He reached for their paper to write down the results of the test tubes an- BOOM!!! Bartholomew jumped and nearly fell out of his chair as he turned to see what happened.
     The counter across from him and two behind had caught on fire. A Pixie girl was laughing so hard she was crying while her human partner extinguished the fire. The teacher came running over.
     " What is the meaning of this?" she fumed. The poor human kid just started stammering in a desperate attempt to explain the situation, but she could hardly be heard over the pixies laughter.
     " Well? " she asked again. The human girl just pointed at the pixie and muttered
     " Firecrackers. " The Pixie stopped laughing instantly and glared at the girl.
     " Wow, way to stick up for a friend," she hissed.
     " You're not my friend. Friends don't get other friends in trouble." The human retorted.
     " Both of you to the office now. " The teacher demanded. The pixie scowled at her before jumping off the counter and flying out the door. The human girl picked up her things and followed the teacher out while sulking. As soon as they were gone everyone started talking at once.
     "Typical Pixies. "
     "Always causing trouble. "
     "Five bucks says she gets suspended. "
Soon the voices all seemed to melt together and Bartholomew stopped paying attention. He went back to what he was doing before the explosion when the bell rang. He grabbed his paper and shoved it into his binder then stood up and left the room. He turned right to go to his locker, but the sight at the end of the hall way caused him to turn on his heel and head the other way. Several large crashes could be heard behind him as he quickened his pace.
     It was a private rule of Bartholomew's to never get involved with things that don't involve him, so there was no way he was going to deal with pixies teaming up to trash the place. He turned back to look at the havoc and smacked into someone. Hard. Reeling back from the impact he grabbed his face and looked up at the person he bumped into. It was Davia.
