Chemistry

Chapter 1

Here I was in college, with my best friend Kelly, secretly both in love with the two boys, who never saw us.

Liam was one of the populair boys in school, captain of the football team and he was hot, very hot. While Harry was the quarterback of the Football team under the leading skills of Liam. Together with Kelly, I was in college for 2 years now and from the first day we started here, we both fell in love. I loved Liam from the start while Kelly loved Harry since the first time she saw him.

Oh how I wish I could be something with Liam. At the first day I saw him standing with Harry at his locker, putting his muscles to the test to put his books in the top locker. I felt my knees getting weak and next to me I saw Kelly, going through the same watching the back of Harry. We knew the boys had something special but because we were just second year students and Liam and Harry were already in their senior years, we expected we had to deal with falling in love with boys we couldn’t get.

I was quite a nerd, in the subjects I struggle with, I was taking so many notes to even make myself feeling I understand it somehow. Lucky I had the same classes as Kelly, so we made our homework together and learn for tests together very hard. I had to study my bum off to get the best grades I could get, so I wasn’t an outgoing person. Clubbing wasn’t on my priority list, study instead was the top one and I knew it was at the top from Kelly too. We both waited for the moment we could skip the study part and putting things we liked at the top.

I struggle with Chemistry. I was a complete mess in that subject and also Kelly was struggling with it every time, we had that class. I knew I would never understand why things would explode if you mixed up the wrong ingredients and how a flame could turn from a bright yellow and save flame into a deep blue one, who was so dangerous you could die if you connect with those flames.

Checking our time table, I saw Kelly and I were blessed today with an extra-long class of Chemistry and I already hated the fact it would be at the end of the day. Chemistry at the end of the day was killing for me, I didn’t look forward to it all day. I got tired from the other classes and I had to focus on not burning the class room down or make something explode what not should have to explode anyhow.

The time goes by fast and I made a lot of fun with Kelly. A few moments a day we saw Liam and Harry walking down the corridor and we turned our heads to look at them for as long as we could, till we stared into an empty corridor because Liam and Harry already were disappeared. We had a lot of moments we were standing in the corridor smiling like idiots staring into nothing hoping Liam, Harry or both boys walked by another time.

Kelly was desperate in love with Harry and I knew it from the first day when she was still trying hard to deny it in any way possible. But the way she looked at him when he walked by, smiled or even the way he talked, I know she was head over heels. We could spend a whole day of school talking about dating those boys and being our insecure self’s because they won’t even notice us.

All the classes we had to go to were over, so it meant we only had one left; Chemistry. We sighed and walked our way to the Chemistry room as slowly as possible. We both hoped it would be over very soon so we could go home.

We got into the classroom as we saw Mr. Paxton. Mr. Paxton was a grumpy teacher who most of the time didn’t like to teach our class anything about Chemistry. We were one of the loudest classes and we got the worst grades on tests ever possible.

Mr. Paxton was the kind of teacher you hated before you even start to join his classes and even if you didn’t have Chemistry at all you still hate him. In every class Kelly and I were sitting next to each other so we walked over to our double table and put our books on it together with our notebooks preparing for a lot of notes to make. Mr. Paxton was grumpy again and we whistled to each other, we knew it was going to be a long class today. I hated it when Mr. Paxton was grumpy because when I didn’t understand what he was saying, he wouldn’t even explain it again, so I don’t understand it anyway.

“Today we are going to make pairs to write an essay about Atoms and how they work” Mr. Paxton said. Writing essays was the strong point of Kelly and me, so we looked at each other immediately ready to pair up. With that the class room door flew open and we turned our heads to the door to see who came into our class room.

I saw Kelly’s jaw drop down as I felt my own drop down too.

In the opening of the door were Liam and Harry standing with red cheeks feeling awkward.
