Don't Fall In Love With Me

Chapter 4

"You have class with him next, don't you?" Xiumin asked. 
 

"Yup, I have Chemistry with him."

"Hell yeah, you do," Lay cheesily budded in. 

"I'm going to try really hard to forget that really lame comment you made," Kris said, scowling in distaste. 

I really wished that the guys didn't tell me that they were so sure that Baekhyun liked me; especially since he was in my next two classes and I just happened to sit next to him in both of them. Fortunately when I got to my seat he only smiled at me so I didn't have to worry about having a conversation with him.
 

"I know it's only the second day of school, but we'll be jumping into our very first lab today," Mr. Cho said. "It shouldn't be too hard for you all. I've placed a compound of chemicals at each lab station and all you have to do is run some tests and identify what's in your compound. You and your lab partner have till the end of the week to turn this in. Remember our safety rules and good luck," he said, sitting down behind his desk. 
 

I glanced down at the test tube filled with a clear liquid. The assignment didn't seem too hard at all. The hard part really was trying not to act awkward around some who supposedly liked me. As I was about to start testing the compound, safety goggles were placed over my eyes.
 

"Safety first," Baekhyun said with a cheeky smile on his face. "Wouldn't want your eyes to dissipate out of your pretty little face, now would we?" He was flirting with me. The ever so popular city boy was flirting with me. Maybe the guys' suspicions were right. But it was okay; a girl could easily get used to this. 
 

I playfully rolled my eyes and proceeded with the lab. "I work kind of fast. Hope you can keep up with me Mr. Safety." 
 

He chuckled. "I like going fast." His straightforward tone made his comment seem like a sexual innuendo or maybe I just had my mind focused on the wrong things. I decided to leave the conversation off then and there in case I accidentally slip something out and make things more awkward than they needed to be. 
 

Things seemed to be going fine and we were able to get a lot of work done. That was until Baekhyun did something stupid. 
 

"Oh my god," I heard Baekhyun say in panic as I wrote down a few of the components we had found in our test tube. "Um, I think we should call the teacher over."
 

"What are you talking about? We're doing fine," I said, lifting my eyes from the paper only to see Baekhyun nervously staring down at his chemical soaked shirt. "Uh, I think you should probably take your shirt off," I said a little too blatantly. 
 

He looked up from his shirt and stared at me with bewilderment written on his face. "Aren't we moving a little too fast?" he asked as one side of his lip curved up into a side smirk. 
 

I felt heat rise to my face and my heart beat pick up rapidly, but I somehow managed to squeeze out a witty reply. "I thought you liked going fast."
 

"Now's really not the time you two," Mr. Cho said from behind me as more heat rose to my face. I probably looked like a tomato. "But yes, she's right. You should probably take your shirt off if you don't want your skin to fry off." Baekhyun's eyes widened and he didn't hesitate quickly removing his shirt. I noticed a fairly large scar running down the middle of his chest. I never remembered hearing him get into any accidents, but then again I've never really heard much anything about him. I tried not to linger my eyes on his bare torso for too long, but my hormones got the best of me. But the whole class was staring, so why couldn't I? "You're lucky I didn't put any strong acids or corrosives in any of the solutions."
