My Tears

Chapter 10: "Acid Accident"

Sandy's P.O.V

The moment I told Brianna to get the acid I knew I had made a very very stupid mistake. I had opened up a chance for her to play the next round of her revenge game.

Great.

Good job Sandy very good job..

I sighed. Well I'd just have to wait and see what happens, and even if something did happen I would have a class of witnesses.

Brianna returned with the measuring cylinder full of diluted hydrochloric acid. I held out my hand for it.

For a minute I thought that she was actually going to hand it to me. But no. I was wrong...Yes I was very wrong...

The moment her hand came out she poured all the contents in the measuring cyclinder onto me. I screamed.

"Ugh...why did you do that?!"

Trust me. I didn't want to but I had to. I froze in shocked surprise. It might've been just me but I could feel a slight stinging to my face. I could feel the acid eating away at my skin and my clothes. Call me paranoid but trust me. You would feel the same if somebody poured acid all over you!

The whole class stopped work and turned to face us. From the side of my eye I could see Brianna standing there with a fake shocked look plastered over her face. Her hand covering her mouth.

"Oh My Gosh Sandy I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! I swear it was an accident!" She cried.

I picked out Dylan's face amongst the people and I could see from his facial expression that he did not believe a word that just came out of Brianna's mouth. His jaw was clenched and his eyes flashed dangerously and were narrowed. Mr MacGave turned around and rushed over to me a cloth in hand and started dabbing away at my soaked clothes.

"Would somebody please accompany Ms Silverstone to get her a change of clothes because any further contact with the acid could be fatal." Sir asked.

Dylan made his way towards me. He grasped my arm and dragged me out of the laboratory. "You okay?" He whispered.

I nodded still dazed.

His grip tightened on my arm and I winced.

"Sorry."

"I have a change of clothes in my locker." I recite.

"Ahh what the heck are you doing?!" I screamed when he started to unbutton his shirt.

"Umm...err...you.. here you look a bit revealing..so...yeah.." He answered rubbing the back of his neck shyly while looking at my shirt.

I looked down at my shirt.

Shi-

My soaked shirt had become translucent and was clinging to every bit of my upper half body. I felt my face heat up. I turned around and hid my face from view. I felt Dylan drape his shirt over my shoulders and I drew it closer to my body.

The trip to my locker was slow, tedious and filled with an awkward silence but to my surprise Dylan was supporting and patient. He encouraged me all the way and even offered to carry me. I tried my best not to look at him because if I did then I would have to look at his....ugh...

"This is ridiculous." I heard him mutter.

Don't look. Don't look.

I looked.

My hands flew to cover my eyes.

I heard him laugh. "Cupid....you know I'm kinda wearing a singlet..right?..."

My face and ears burned with embarrassment.

"Hey hey hey...don't be embarrassed..."

"Shut up.." I mumbled.

I heard him chuckle before he pulled he reached for face. I sucked in a breath. His gaze was gentle and soft. His perfect luscious pink lips were parted.

Uh-oh....what's happening? .....

He leaned in closer and closer. So close that I could feel his breath fan my face.Dylan angled his face towards me and-

"Hey what's taking you ki- Oh oops I'm just gonna go now...." Mr MacGave's voice faded away with his footsteps.

My eyes widened and I stared at Dylan alarmed. He was laughing his head off. "Damn it!"

When I was changed Dylan and I returned to class. Mr MacGave looked up and looked suggestively at us.

"Oh come on sir!" Dylan whined. "Nothing actually happened."

"Unfortunately." I heard him whisper quietly to himself.

I whirled around to face him, eyes narrowed.

"Oh and Sandy and Dylan you guys are going to be lab partners from now on." Mr MacGave added.

I groaned.

"So let's start from the beginning shall we?" Dylan asked.

"Yeah. I'll go get the acid."

"What? Scared I'll pour it on you?"

I shot him a shut-up look and he put his hands up in surrender and mouthed, "My bad."

As I trudged to the teacher's bench, I felt someone watching me. When I turned around I saw Brianna eye me with eyes that glinted with malicious intent and repressed a shudder. I made my way back to Dylan and I's experiment bench and slammed gently placed the beaker down. All the while I could still feel Brianna's eyes on mine.

"What are you staring at?" Dylan retorted to someone behind. However when I looked to see who it was I was met by the violence hungry eyes of the queen bee herself. My breath stopped and I could here the blood rushing through my veins. The only thing that I felt was anger. Anger. All I thought was that I HATED her! I pulled my clenched hand back ready to strike her perfect face.

I felt a hand wrap around my fisted hand. Another arm circled around my waste. I knew who it was already and calmed down when he whispered, "Trust me. She's not worth it."

I dropped my arm and turned back to the experiment at hand, still fuming internally. The tension that I felt was suffocating and I was over cautious the rest of the lesson. Every time I felt her presence I would tense up, so when the bell rang I heaved a sigh of relief and the tension faded immediately.

Alana was waiting outside the classroom and we made our way towards the car park. Everything was fine until a funny feeling settled in my stomach and someone....
