Electric

Part 2 - Room M1

As I left the classroom I felt as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders, Jae was gone now and I felt all feelings of rage and irritation fly away. I tucked my head down and began to walk towards Room M1, Room M1 is the room that I go to during break 1, 2, after school and before school if I'm early enough. Room M1 is a music room which is always empty, Room M1 is the old music room on the other side of the campus old instruments in surprisingly very good condition are inside. Music is my life, I love music, it makes me feel as if nothing else matters and I can completely zone out of the normal world.

I opened up the squeaky door and walked inside throwing my bag onto a table causing an eruption of dust, I coughed and walked over to a small room crowded with guitars electric and acoustic, I picked up my favorite. A shiny grey and red electric guitar with a strong black strap, I wiped the metallic edges and the simple single striped pattern with my sleeve and walked out. I took a deep breath and plugged the guitar into a small powerful amp and began to play, I let go of my mind and let my fingers take over strumming and plucking carefully at the nickel-plated strings.

I'm not completely talentless, I have quite the skill in the electric guitar I took lessons for 4 years and then practice by myself once my parents got a divorce. I want to spend the rest of my life playing electric guitar maybe writing music, producing it anything to do with music. After a few minutes I finished up the last few chords and sat on a dark blue stool tracing my finger over the guitar's strings and bezels, no one has ever known about this place it was MY place...

"What is this,"
I jumped up onto my feet to see the horror of the squeaky door rustling, and slowly opening I sprinted over to the small room with instruments taking the electric guitar with me. I squeezed myself in between an old drum kit and some acoustic guitars clutching my electric guitar against my chest.
The door opened and inside came a girl with jet black hair and hazel eyes, she was wearing a tight black skirt with black tights underneath, a peach cropped sweater and a pair of glossy high heels. A solid gold bracelet was on her right arm and small diamond earrings dangled from her ears, she must be new.

The girl walked over to a keyboard in the corner of the room and pressed a few keys testing its ability, this can't be happening right now my special place taken by this girl. I narrowed my eyes looking at the girl trying to get more information about her, she was tanned and her hair looked very shiny and professionally treated. As I leaned forward to take a better look I knocked an acoustic over causing a chain of loud noises I smacked myself in the head and crouched back behind the drum kit.

"Hello,"
The girl walked over to the small room, I clenched my teeth and covered my face as she stepped into the room
"Is anyone in here,"
"I will call the police if you don't come out,"
I scowled and stood up tightly clinging onto my electric guitar
"Chill I'm a student here," I said rolling my eyes
"What's your name," she said coldly
"Shay Allen, what about you," I said bluntly tightening my grip on the electric guitar
"Veronica, Veronica Scerri,"

"And are you a new student Veronica," I said slowly stepping out of the small room
"Yes I am, grade 12, class 1A,"
"That's my class, why weren't you in class this morning," I said cautiously
"I was exploring the school and on a more serious note why are you in here,"
"This is my place I have been coming here for 7 years so back off," I said slightly raising my tone of voice
Veronica nodded and sent a conceding look

"I think this is the wrong music room anyways, I'm looking for one with a certain Jae Park in it,"
I rolled my eyes as Veronica flicked her hair over her shoulder
"That would be Room M2, it's near the art block to your left," I said
"Thanks, by the way, do you play,"
"Yes electric guitar, but I'm warning you don't tell anyone," I said firmly
"We will see about that," she winked and walked out of the music room

You're actually kidding right now, who does this girl think she is?
I fiddled around with the electric guitar and the bell soon went off, well that's a perfectly good 30 minutes wasted. I made my way to my next class, chemistry my favorite... NOT and best of I am still paired with Jae. I walk into the class to see Veronica standing by the teacher with an annoyingly bright smile on her face the teacher gave me a dirty look as I sat down next to Jae.

"Ok class this is Veronica Scerri, she is a new student," The teacher said brightly
The teacher pointed at an empty seat near Dowoon, Veronica walked over and winked at  Dowoon unsurprisingly blushed and smiled I rolled my eyes she is just another basic popular girl GREAT. The teacher began to directed and inform people what we were doing today, it was a basic experiment of mixing various elements together simple right, nope not with Jae Park.

We moved off our lap benches, with Veronica's and Dowoon's so conveniently next to us and I set out all of the elements needed, Jae leaned against a wall his eyes grazing over Veronica.
"You know you look like a creep doing that," I said setting out a beaker
"You look like a creep wearing that beanie 24/7," he bickered back
"Go get some sulfur," I said trying to avoid a fight
"No,"
"Why not? just walk up and get the sulfur," I said pointing at the table at the front

"We not going to need any sulfur,"
"The instructions say 2 grams of sulfur,"
"Why do we need to follow the instructions,"
"I don't want to set this place on fire just because you don't want to go and get sulfur," I groaned and went up and got the sulfur myself

Finally, everything was prepared and ready for the experiment, I slid on my safety glasses and looked over at Jae who was still staring at Lori.
"Pass me some sodium," I said quietly as I concentrated on lighting the bunsen burner
"Why can't I put the sodium in the beaker," he said flicking his hair
"Well we wouldn't want your hair catching on fire would we Justin Bieber," I mocked taking the sodium myself

He scowled and snatched the sodium out of my hand and walked beside me where the beaker was sitting over the bunsen burner.
"I am good at everything unlike you beanie girl," he said smilingly cheekily
I rolled my eyes
"Fine go on put 3 grams of sodium in the beaker, if your good at everything," I said stepping aside
Jae walked over and bent down a little bit he grabbed the SULFUR and began to tip it in
"NO THAT IS THE SULFER JAE," I shouted pushing him aside

Jae knocked into the chair and tables beside him
"What the hell was that for!" He shouted
"The sulfur reacts with magnesium, you dumbass," I said
"Why did you give me the sulfur then stupid,"
"I didn't you swapped them yourself,"
"Look the thing is not even reacting," he said walking over to the lab bench

I walked over and looked into the beaker, nothing I sighed
"Just add some sulfur then,"
"Um no, I'm not putting any sulfur in,"
"So now you don't want to do anything?"
"Yeah pretty much,"
I shook my head and went to add in the sodium the mixture in the beaker was bubbling

"Jae, the mixture is bubbling,"
"So what do we do?"
"I don't know you tell me you're the one who put the sulfur in,"
The mixture began to expand and I stared at Jae
"Do something!" he shouted
"I don't know what to do!" I yelled in distress

BOOM

The mixture exploded all over Jae and I the sticky white foam all over the bench floors and me, I look over at Jae to see his bleached hair covered in white foam, I began laughing.
"What's so funny Shay," he said crossing his arms
"Your hair is covered in white foam," I struggled to say laughing
"This would have never happened if I weren't for you," he complained ruffling his hair
"You're the one who put the wrong element in," I complained wiping my flannel shirt down

Veronica looked over at the mess and smirked before changing her facial expression drastically
"Oh my gosh, are you ok?"
Veronica ran over and placed the spilled beaker inside the sink and collected tissues from the front
"I don't think I have met you before," Jae began removing his jacket
"I'm Veronica, nice to meet you?"
"Jae," he replied
