Death And Demise The Kids

Lab partners

I shoot quick glances at Demise while she's writing her name... So perfectly symmetrical.. When Dr. Stein snaps his fingers to get our attention, smoke whirling off of his cigarette around his face in a weird pattern.

"We're going to be dissecting another frog today!" He exclaims happily and pulls out a bunch of frogs... Live frogs?!

Everybody sweat drops and Maka raises her hand.

"Uhh, sir... Those frogs are alive." She says covering her mouth in disgust.

Dr. Steins glasses do that weird shining things.

"That's what makes it all the more fun!" He gives us a creepy grin.

Sometimes I think he's really already gone mad.

"We'll anyways. Since we have a new student I'll be reassigning lab partners." He looks around the room.

"Liz you'll be with Patty, Patrick will be with Lee, Soul will be with Maka, Kid will be with.... Demise." Dr. Stein says then continues with the list. Demise nods.

What? Me?!

My heart skips a beat and I begin to sweat. Me, of course... I hope I don't make a fool of myself...

Eventually Dr. Stein passes out all the frogs and our lab equipment.

I slip on the goggles, and Demise does the same.

The frog is so gross and slimy looking... Gross!! I examine it and realize something terrible....

I nearly throw up.. There's three spots on one side and four spots on the other.

I can't control myself...

"DISGUSTING!!!" I yell, pointing at the asymmetrical amphibian. Demise gives me a weird look then examines the frog too. She mutters something under her breath then jumps up too.

"DISGUSTING!!" She grasps the scalpel in her hand and almost stabs it but Dr. Stein grabs her by the wrist.

"Now, now. If you stab the frog you won't be able to observe it will you?" He gives a creepy grin then real eases her and walks away again.

She takes a deep breath.

"You ready?" She asks.

What? What did she say? I wasn't paying attention.... I was looking into her pretty eyes...

"Erm... Uh yeah." I nervously say, not sure of what I just agreed to.

"Grab your scalpel, then."

"Oh, okay...." I look around at the assorted dissection material and grab the scalpel.

"Now make four incisions here. And I'll make four here, so well have eight." She sighs happily.

"What a fantastic number.." She says, eyes sparkling.

"Agreed. My favorite." I make the four incisions and she makes four. I use one of the tools to open up the incisions then look inside.

She reaches over me to grab a tool, and her hand accidentally brushes mine.

I think my heart just melted.
