chapter thirty.
"My Sister, My Responsibility."

"Einstein once said, "two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity" and I'm not sure about the universe but I myself have encountered infinite stupidity." Mr.Harris states. He stops behind Stiles and looks down at the teenage boy before rolling his eyes, and continues to walk in between the rows of students. "So, to combat the plague of ignorance in my class, you're going to combine efforts through a round of group experiments. Let's see if two heads are indeed better than one." He turns around and faces his whole class. "Or in Mr.Stilinski's case, less than one." He adds, causing students to erupt into laughter. "Erica, you take the first station. You'll start with..."

Mr.Harris' words slowly come to a stop as he sees nearly his whole class raising their hands, volunteering to get paired up with her, only for her beauty and not her smarts. His eyes land on the near six people who didn't raise their hand, now knowing he's going to pick someone from the small bunch.

He sighs of disappointment, "I didn't ask for volunteers. Put your hormonal little hands down. Start with Mr.McCall. All right, next two."

Once all students sadly put their hands down now that Erica has a partner, Mr.Harris continues to call out everyone's name, choosing who he wants to put in pairs, not caring who they choose after the first round. Scott gets paired with Erica. Allison with Lydia. Isaac with Anya. And Lilith with Stiles.

The two friends look down at the paper, and start their project knowing they've got to do the work - out of the two Stiles is the only one who knows what Erica and Isaac are planning on doing, not sure if he should tell Lilith or not; not knowing if she'll cause a scene - or else they'll get a bad grade for not participating. After a specific amount of time Mr.Harris dings a small bell, telling his students to change their seats- needing new partners. Scott quickly rushes next to Lydia, not allowing anyone else to. Stiles accidentally sits next to Isaac. Allison with Jackson. And Erica willingly chooses to sit next to Lilith.

"Well, don't you look beautiful, Lilith." Erica says, she looks to her right where Lilith sits. She looks the red-head up and down, noticing the way she crosses her legs under the table, and the way she twirls her glass mixer in her hand while she concentrates on what she needs to do; causing Erica to bite her lip.

Lilith glances up at her, "Hi, Erica." She says, slightly annoyed Erica chose to sit next to her out of all people.

The pair choose to not share many words, only talking to one other if needed to. They continue to add items into their beaker, following the instructions that's on the paper in front of them. Erica picks up a small beaker and hands it to Lilith - allowing her to transfer the mixture into the new holder - before Lilith can pour the liquid, Erica reaches forward and wraps her hand around Lilith's hand. She pauses in her tracks as she feels Erica's hand wrap around hers, making Erica lead Lilith's hand, helping her dump the concoctions into each other. Erica gives Lilith a small flirty smile as she glances at her, she softly runs her hand up the older girl's forearm, before moving her hand away from Lilith completely; allowing herself to continue their experiment, leaving Lilith sitting there completely flustered.
