Fatal Lies [#wattys2018]

Ch.5||Spilt poisons

The  next week went by awfully fast with Josh still bothering me and my curiosity of Zion growing every damm minute I saw him. I found out I had Geometry with both him and Freya. He still was his lazy self in Geometry class, no surprise there.
Mum didn't go out that much since we moved in. I mean it would be nice to see her out of the house, all she does is work the little space in our front yards.She's been wanting to plant flowers.And Dad,  well he's been going quite early to work and coming home late. I heard him come  in quite late last night.I don't know it's like we're living different lives or something.

I walked into chemistry class and took my regular seat at the back, watching the students fill in. Jenelle walked in with another girl beside her, the girl was about the same height as her. She had awfully cold blue eyes and snow white blonde hair which was tied up in a messy bun.You could say she was quite pretty.
I guess this was Kelly Olivier, Jenelle's closest friend and rather quiet sidekick.Freya had mentioned that she didn't do much except follow Jenelle around and keep her company.

"Ok students, here is this year's seating arrangement", the teacher,  Mr. Broth said pasting up what looked like a chart of names on a artistic drawing of the class." I will need you all to move and sit with your assigned lab partners ".
Everyone groaned and started moving to assigned seats. I noticed that my name was beside Jenelle's. No it couldn't be, I  was already having a hard time trying to throw Josh off my back because I didn't want to give people mixed ideas and here was the devil herself who was gonna be my lab partner for a whole year, Lord help me I sight as I made my way to the table assigned to us.
"Mr.Broth, I would prefer Kelly as my lab partner", Jenelle said sweetly. " Ah! miss Nixon, Angelica here has very good grades in Chemistry so I thought putting you with her will somehow inspire you to get your grades up", Mr. Broth replied turning to his desk.
"Whatever",She said rolling her eyes and turned her attention to her well manicured nails.

We were halfway into distilling a alcohol solution when Jenelle turned to me. " Pass me beaker".Without looking because I was so focused on pouring down the alcohol solution that I didn't see where my other hand had placed the beaker until I heard Jenelle's annoyingly loud scream."You....! ", she shrieked her face turnig every shade of red. I turned around to see her dress all wet. " Oh my god!, I am so sorry ", I said trying to clean up her dress but it was no use the damage was done. "Why are you so clumsy", she said angrily.
Everyone in class where staring at the both of us. I could feel the heat raising up my face" I'm so sorry Jenelle, I really didn't see where I was putting the beaker ".I said in a low voice. " Well you should be, this dress costs more than your shoes", She sneered.
"That's enough girls, miss Nixon why don't you uh, go clean up the mess on your dress",Mr.Broth said to Jenelle.Turning to me he said," Please clean up this mess miss Crestwood ".

Well Jenelle went to the bathrooms followed closely by Kelly. I don't know,but those two seem like they probably stick together like magnets.
The bell went that moment. " Alright people, leave your work for today, the alcohol should be distilled by tomorrow ", Mr. broth said as everyone started filling out of the classroom.
I cleaned up the mess and picked up my text book and made my wat to the door. "Angelica, may I see you for a moment", Mr.Broth voice came from behind the papers he was reading. I walked back to his desk. " Is there something wrong Mr. Broth", I asked curiously.
"No nothing's wrong, I just wanted to let you know that we could really use your help with tutoring other students", he said while looking through some papers on  his desk.
" Oh I'd love to", I smiled. "Good, I'll check your schedule and put down some names, Maths good? ", he asked looking at me. "Sorry,  I'd like you to tutor math".
" It's fine, when do I start ", I asked. " You can start next week ", he said standing up."Now be on your way".
I nodded and walked out heading towards my locker in the next hallway.

" Hey Angelica",the familiar voice of Josh came from behind my lock door. " Hey yourself ", I muttered shutting my locker door.He leaned against the lockers folding his arms." Hey look, I just came to tell you I'm sorry for the way I've been behaving ", he said with a serious expression. "I know it's seems too much coming from me but believe me it's genuine",.

At that moment Zion and his friends came out of the other hallway and started walking towards the cafeteria " Uh I guess... ", I said coming out of the trench and focusing on him. " Friends? ", he asked Streching out his hands. " Friends ", I said smiling although I was still watching Zion.
" Great see you around Angelica ", he said easing himself off the lockers and walking away. I just nodded not really paying him much attention.
Man this is what Freya meant when she said that I shouldn't bother myself with them or I might find myself getting attached.
I watched them walked into the cafeteria doors then made my way to the library thinking my time would be better spent on reading.
