Emily's POV
"Boo this class." Maya says as her and I walk into class.
"Do you even know which one it is?" I ask her, as we walk to our desks.
"I'm going to need a clue." She says, picking up a beaker. I let out a laugh.
I watch as Farkle jumps through doorway of science laboratory, enthusiastically dancing by pointing in random directions. "Doo dah, doo, dah, doo doo dah, da da da da da dah!" I let out a laugh as Riley and Zay walk in.
"Science." Maya says.
Farkle walks toward the far end of the classroom, where Mr. Norton is standing. "Morning, Farkle! What's new?"
"I'm reading this great book on anti-gravity. I can't put it down!" Farkle says.
Mr. Norton, points at Farkle, and says "Hah!"
Farkle, then, points back at Mr. Norton and says, "Hah!"
Maya walks to her seat at one of the lab stations. "I hate this class." I hear her say.
The rest of the class enters the laboratory and takes their seats. Farkle joins me at our station, while Lucas joins Maya at hers, and Riley and Austin sit together.
Mr. Norton wheels a portable podium. "Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to join me on a journey of discovery. Your midterm experiment."
The whole class groans, besides Farkle and I.
"Yay." Farkle says, happily.
"In front of you, each team will find a beaker of a clear liquid solution." Mr. Norton says.
"And next to that, and here's where it gets exciting - a mystery marble!" He says, after Maya says something to Lucas that I didn't hear. He holds up an example of the marble.
"Goodnight!" I hear Maya say and I look over at her. Maya falls forward. Lucas catches her chin in his hand before she hits the table.
"Right after school, precisely at 3:15, one member of each team will drop the marble into the beaker. The elements in the marble will break down overnight and turn into sludge. Then the other team member will discover what that sludge is and what it takes to turn the beaker back to clear." Mr. Norton tells us all.
"Who's supposed to do what?" Riley asks from her spot next to Austin.
"Well, that's up to you! You're a team! Divide the responsibilities as you see fit. I've been conducting this experiment for thirty-five years." He says, waving a journal in the air. "I've kept thorough notes. Very few have cracked it."
"Well, you can add my name to your journal right now, sir." Farkle tells him.
"I hope so, Farkle." Mr. Norton replies to him. He looks to the rest of the class at large. "Let the games begin!"
"Okay, Em. You drop the marble, I'll figure out the sludge and earn us yet another A." Farkle tells me.
"Okay, that's all I have to do?" I ask him, somewhat confused.
Well, I am the scientist around here." Farkle says. I look at him, shaking my head.
"Farkle, I don't understand why I can't -"
"You do want an A, don't you?" He asks me.
I look at him, then look back at the marble, holding it up.

It was the end of the day. Riley, Maya and I walk down the hallway towards the science laboratory together.
