Chapter 2: Why me?

“….” The awkward silence between us was…tense.

“Do you-“ We accidentally said in unison.

I suddenly broke into laughter, I just couldn’t help myself. He glared at me, forcing my amusement to a halt.

“Sorry. You go first.” I smiled.

“Just say what you want to say!” He grimaced, rubbing his temples with annoyance.

“Sorry.” I replied sincerely.

“And would you stop apologising!” He groaned.

“Sor-” He furrowed his eyebrows, his mouth forming a scowl “I mean, okay. I just wanted to ask…if you wanted to get the equipment or should I do it?”

“Did it have to take you this long to ask one question?!” He got up from his seat “I’ll get it.”

He grabbed the equipment needed in a tray and came back to his seat. He’d already started to set up the experiment.

“How much bromine do we need in each test tube?” I asked curious.

“It’s on the board, idiot.” He seethed with venom.

“Sorry. Oh! I mean-”

“JUST STOP TALKING!” He said each word slowly, each pause like a spike to the heart.

He was making the alkene gas but he’d forgotten to add the catalyst.

“Um…Chase…” I started.

“What?!” He snapped back.

“…You forgot the catalyst…”

“Oh…” He added the catalyst to the experiment then carried on from where he left off without feeling a need to apologise.

“Can I help?” I asked wanting to be of some use.

“No.” He said bluntly.

He mixed the alkene gas with the orange bromine liquid causing it to become clear.

“That’s enough!” We heard Mr Hollow shout.

The classroom went silent and everyone faced forward.

“So, what happens to bromine after it’s mixed with an alkene?”

I raised my hand.

“Yes, Miss Gibson.”

“The bromine liquid turns transparent after the reaction.”

“Well done, Miss Gibson.”

I smiled then looked at Chase, he was still listening to Mr Hollow.

“Stop staring at me!” He whispered.

I walked outside stepping onto the lush green grass. Some students were sitting on the benches, others were playing football; all with their friends for break.
