Did we have Chemistry?

Chapter 4

So it has been a couple of weeks since I started Bridgeway School and I'm liking it. The classes are really interesting and so are the people. Track has been amazing, I really enjoy running and love participating in competitions. 

It is lunch time and everyone on the table is talking about a party going on at Mikes tonight. I kinda feel left out as I never got an invite. Anyway, party's aren't really my scene, a bunch of drunk people doing silly things they'll regret the morning after, no thanks. But did I really want to spend friday night with my dad, that is if he hasn't got plans. 

"What time is everyone going over at?" Nikki asked making eye contact with me. I dodged her eyes because I didn't want to come off as needy. 

"Probably after 9?" Zack said looking at me. I just smiled. 

"I'll bring the jello shots!" Lydia said.

I've never tried jello shots before, ugh it sounds so enticing. 

"How about the girls prepare the shots in yours and we get ready together?" Nikki suggested to Lydia.

"Sounds perfect to me!" Lydia agreed.

For the remainder of lunch I managed to dodge answering the questions about attending the party. Go me! As I came out of the dining hall I made my way to my locker to get the books for the next few classes. 

Spanish was such a bore, the highlight of the class is really the last 5 minutes when we are all waiting for the bell to ring, well at least I am. 

"Judy right?" the teacher said.

"Hello, um Julie actually" I corrected.

"My bad, Can I speak to you for a second?" he asked politely.

I waited for everyone to leave the room. 

"Yeah, is everything alright?" I asked.

"Well, yes and no. I noticed that in your old school Spanish was taught correct?" he questioned.

"Yeah why?" I answered.

"It's just that looking at your previous test scores and daily work I realised that your behind the rest of the class" he added.

"Yeah, Spanish has never really been my strong point" I said honestly. 

"I can see that" he added

Ouch, talk about insult upon injury. 

"So, is there anything I can do to gain extra credit?" I continued.

"Yes there is indeed, I decided I'll give you a second chance at Tuesdays test, so the makeup test will be on Monday after school?" he said

"That sounds fine to me, is that all?" I continued

"For now it is, have a nice weekend" he said solemnly.

"You too" I said as I left the room. 

Great now I gotta study for a Spanish re-take throughout the weekend. On the bright side, it's not like I had any plans right? 

Last class was Science. I really enjoyed this class because we got to do experiments and the teacher was pretty funny. 

Today we were working on micro-organisms. We had to look at bacterias through a microscope which was really interesting. Thomas became my lab partner which was pretty cool because he was fun to work with and I knew if we were to do a project together he wouldn't leave it to me to do it on my own. 

"Hey Lil, why did the germ cross the microscope?" 

"Um, no idea sorry." I replied not thinking twice about it. I sucked at Science.

"It was to get to the other slide" he replied.

He was such a little joker! 

"Hahahah that joke was so funny, I almost forgot to laugh" I answered sarcastically. 

"Ah, c'mon don't be such a debbie downer, It's Friday" he said excitedly.

"Your right!" I replied my mood slightly improving.

"Are you going to Mikes?" he asked, looking up at me. 

Even in the hideous lab glasses he managed to have those piercing eyes. 

"Na, I don't think so how about you" I asked hoping he wasn't invited too. 

"Why not?" he said pouting.

Lie, Julie, think of a lie, a believeable lie. 

"Er, I have nothing to wear" I blurted.

"Please, by the end of the night, nobody's going to be wearing clothes." he said

What? I should have pictured Mike to be that guy that goes skinny dipping for sport. 

"Your joking right?" I asked nervously.

"Well kind of, there's some sane people, not much but a few nonetheless" he reassured.

"I'm picking you up at 9.30" he demanded.

"No, your not, I told you!" I answered back.

"Go as you are" he said.

I looked down at what I was wearing but it was covered by a filthy lab coat. 

"No thanks" I replied.

"Why are you so stubborn?" he asked

"Why are you so demanding" I countered

"Touche" 

The bell rang and school's out! 

I ended up catching up with Nikki and Sarah in the hallway, they said I should be in Lydias for 7. They were pretty excited about it so I'm guessing they were expecting me there. I wasn't one to let people down so I reluctantly agreed. Sarah offered to drop me home to help decide what I was going to wear. 

My phone buzzed it was Thomas

"Hey, where are you? there isn't track today is there?" 

"Nope there isn't I caught a lift with Sarah, so sorry for not letting you know! x" I replied.

My phone buzzed again.

"I can think of other ways you can repay me ;) x"

Erm ok then... I thought about it for a minute and realised that he is a hormone driven 17 year old boy. That explains everything I reassured myself. 

"Is everything alright?" Sarah asked

"Yeah it is, It's just Thomas" I said

"He's absolutely sexy as hell" she said 

I second that. 

"Yeah he's nice" I replied.

"Do you like him? 

I thought about it, I don't actually have a crush on him, I just think he's hot. He's more friend material though.

"No, I think I see him more of a best friend to be quite honest" I said truthfully.

"Fair enough, that makes him available right?" she said optimistically. 

Something about Sarah pursuing Thomas made me on edge.
