The next day. The fight in the cafeteria was major talk of the town, or, the school per se. I knew that topic wouldn't last long.
"Ava," Warren whispered as I sat next to him in Mad Science class, "I just wanna apologize if I hurt you yesterday."
"It's okay," I nodded assuring him, "It was an accident. Fire can't hurt me."
Warren gave me a surprised look.
Before any of us could continue, the first bell rang signifying the start of the first class.
Mr. Medulla turned facing all of us in the room, "Rays! From the silliness of the shrink ray to the devastation of the death ray. These are the very foundations of Mad Science."
That second, someone knocked on the door. I turned and saw that it was Will. I had a hunch that he was transferred.
"Yes, they told me you were coming," Mr. Medulla said, "Unfortunately, all the lab partners are taken. Suppose I could pair you with my teaching assistant." He turned to Gwen, "Miss Grayson. My apologies."
I noticed her smiling at Will. My brother once again had the same lovestruck expression. I watched the scene as Mr. Medulla tried to snap Will out of his thoughts.
Earth to Will! I thought.
Once my brother came around, he quickly went over to Gwen stepping on Mr. Medulla's foot in the process.
Our assignment was to build a freeze ray. During the past weeks of being in the class, I learned how to build a basic and heat ray. I was already starting to get a bit nervous about failing at this assignment. Warren and I started putting together the freeze ray. In a few seconds, it was complete just as Mr. Medulla came over to us.
"Ah, very impressive Miss Stronghold and Mr. Peace," he nodded grading us over our work, "You both pass."
I mentally sighed in relief as he walked away. Warren gave me a small smile that no one else saw.
"Dreadful technique," Mr. Medulla scolded at a couple students, "You confused the rays with beams. D! Minus! I would give you an F, but that would only mean having to see you in summer school."
I glanced over at Will and Gwen and saw that Gwen had put together their freeze ray with her mind confirming to me that she was a technopath as Will stared in shock.
"And, what have we here?" Mr. Medulla asked as he approached their lab table.
"Uh..." Will stammered, "Well, I don't know. I didn't do it."
"You're far too modest, Mr. Stronghold," Mr. Medulla said as Gwen handed the freeze ray to him and shot at the student he yelled at, "Or perhaps not modest enough. Miss Grayson, in the future, please allow the students to succeed, or fail, on their own."
Gwen expressed to Will of her powers as he was still a bit startled. However, I felt my dragon glaring daggers at her as if to tell me that she wasn't who she was and that Gwen was just using Will because of his newfound power. Next, as Gwen offered to tutor him in science, my dragon started snarling.
