Between Missions

Chapter 4 - Obviously, he gets a boner

Picture is Nathan Dickson

The club isn't the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
Come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox

Is it six o'clock already? Shit! I'm so tired! I couldn't sleep last night thinking about yesterday's events. I'm so confused! The kiss was very amazing, but I'm supposed to hate Xavier. What do I do ?? Holly XML! this is so complicated!I wish that kiss wouldn't have happened,but at the same time I am glad it did happen.

"Hey ! Are you up yet ? " Pam's voice came through the door. "I'm up ! " I replied back. "Can I borrow your hair dryer ? Mine is broken, " she asked me coming out of the washroom and sitting on her bed, "Sure ! It's in the first drawer in my washroom. " When she went to fetch it I contemplated weather to tell her about the kiss or not.

"Is something on your mind ? You can tell me if you want someone to talk to. I know how to keep a secret,"

Oh well... I can't not tell her.Here goes nothing..

"Yesterday..... Xavier.....might or might not have kissed me...." I said slowly, while trying to predict her reaction
" WHAT !?! Whwn? How?"

" During our punishment I got into a fight with Brittany and she slapped me. Xavier threw water on her and called me his girl and we kissed."
"Did you like it?"Pam asked me referring to the kiss

"Yes,unfortunately I did," I replied after some time.
"But I'm supposed to hate him ! He's my sworn enemy! But that kiss was so good! It was as if he was the only one that mattered at that moment. I'm so confused.It was fast and yet slow at the same time.it was just......perfect! " I rambled on.

"It looks like you like him but, you're in denial."

Oh!That can't be it ! How can I like him ? "I can't like him "
then I added with an uncertain voice " can I ..? I mean I don't think I like him let alone like like him.... We are supposed to be enemies, you know..?" This made no sense at all.

" That explains a lot .That explains EVERYTHING," Pam replied sarcastically.
Great ! How do I explain it to her ? "Maybe I just....I mean that... Maybe I like him... as a friend, not like like him " "Denial" she said in a singsong voice. "I'm not in denial! "
"Yes you are ! "
" No ! "
"Yes "
" No ! "
"Yes"

"ughh! let's leave it !Or we'd be at it even when our grand kids become grandparents,"I said.

"Yeah..true,but that does not change the fact that you are in denial,"She said walking out of my room .

Aghh! Stupid teenage hormones! Stupid Pam!Stupid me! Stupid everything!Oh look it's 6:15 already time to get ready. What to wear? What to wear? What to wear?
O yeah! a black full sleeve crop top , black skinny jeans and heeled knee length black boots.That should do! What ! I'm representing my team color!
I applied some mascara and eye- liner and some lip gloss.Time to go!

Today Pam was going to teach us how to mix chemicals and form substances and explosives that may potentially help us. "Okay, to melt iron we use thermite which is made using iron-oxide and aluminium. A small amount of potassium, sugar and chloride has to be added. Then we have to heat it for sometime. A few drops of concentrated sulphuric acid is then added to the mixture to start the reaction.

And that is how thermite is formed.Now, we just have to pour the mixture on the metal to melt it. So let's start making the mixture" Pam told us.
"I did not understand a WORD of that. Care to repeat? " Xavier said .
The only reason he was actually doing this was because Mr Hale was probably watching us and nobody wanted to get on his bad side because after our training month ended he would decide if we were qualified for participating or not. While Pam explained Xavier what to do, me and Danny were trying to make it. After a while and many sarcastic comments from Xavier, we all successfully made the mixture.
Well, me and Danny made it ourselves while Pam helped Xavier. And by helped I mean that she made most of the mixture herself.
