Ema' s pov.

"--if you mix the blue liquid with the clear one, you'll see that they'll separate from each other..." He takes the fragile glass container holding the blue liquid and slowly pours it into the clear liquid. "And like so...Because the blue liquid doesn't want to be together with the clear, they separate." And he holds up the final project for us all to see. Some guy in the back said, "So it's like a relationship, or a friendship? If their not susceptible to each other, they'd separate?" He asks, sounding like he actually wants an answer out if him, while the most of this class is plain bored.

Mr Terry looks up and nods, "Yes, yes Dillan. It's pretty much exactly like that!" He sounded happy that someone was actually interested in big 'sciency stuff'. I mean..I was. But that was before the soap and vinegar came into play. What I'm into, is astronomy and the stars. The galaxies fascinate me, and I can't wait until the sun dies and explodes! I'm going to have some fun seeing that from the place I am when I die. I don't really believe in God or the Bible, I was raised to be Agnostic, which means; One who knows there is a God, but doesn't know what that God is. Or that's what I was taught.

Mr Terry trotted around the room, mummbling things to the students he was near. I got scared, because this means there was a huge project coming and this time we have partners. I turn to Jeff, who is sitting behind me. I hold up two fingers and he nods and does the same. I see Abby look at me in the corner of my eyes, but I dismiss it and turn back around to pay attention.

I'd say after this morning, he's my friend. He's also cute, but that's beside the point.

He gets to me and whisperes, "4H." And walks away to another. I look to Jeff, and hold up four fingers, and struggle to make an 'H' out of my fingers; but I think he gets it. He nods and awaits Terry' s sentence.

I become red faced as I wait for Terry to move away from Jeff, out of frustration and embarrassment, because there was no one else I know in this class..

Jeff looks at me...And shakes his head. MOTHERFUCKER! I tilt my head back and accidentally groan rather loud. Mr Terry just looked at me, shrugged and called out our numbers and letters.

"7L and the other 7L please come up to the board." He says.

A guys and a guy both stood up, and best yet..they seemed to be friends. I look at Terry and he has a defeated face on but quickly looked at the 'besides the point' idea of that. "Look at each others faces, exchange numbers or whatever, and guess what students..It's your partner!" He says, sarcasm written all over that sentence. They laugh and walk back to their seats.

It takes a bit until he gets to me...And pauses. "Ah...Mrs Ema..it seems you've got a special situation on your hands.." He says, and I pause my trot to the board. "You..Are the last one on here, and there's an uneven amount of people...so you get to work with Mr Woods and his partner, Mrs Harriet."I then look over and see a beautiful girl, delicately placed on the stool in front of Jeff..And he's smiling at her, and looks at me and waves his hand to come over. I oblige, being delighted that I could work with them. Or mostly...work with Jeff.

I grab my backpack and shove my note books into it, push my stool in and head over to their table. We start talking about the paper we had on the tables about this stuff, and had to choose two incompatible liquids, and make it into a project together. "Hm...seems pretty easy, but whose house are we gonna go to?" Abby asks, and directs the question to us. I look to Jeff, and he smiles nervously. "C'mon, pick! I can't have anyone over though...especially a guy I barely know. No offence it's just my uncle's strict as all crap." She says and I laugh, "That expression..was gracefully said Abby." I say, playful. Herself and Jeff laughs and I smile at my wit, once again my brain proved that being stupid can be fun.
