~Normal POV

It was an unfortunate fact that Klaus didn't have all his Whitmore Academy classes with Isadora. In fact, he only had 3 classes with her; English, math, and history. His other four classes were switched around between him and one or more of his other dorm mates. Science class, with Mrs. Shultz, was the only class he had with Fiona and no one else. This wasn't a bad thing. Klaus and Fiona were friends and dorm-mates, and she was dating Isadora's triplet brother Quigley. The two sat next to each other at their lab table waiting for class to start.

"Alright, everyone, settle down," Mrs. Shultz commanded; she went around the tables passing out papers, "I have an assignment for you today. I'm going to have you work in groups of three on an experiment. Just follow the instructions on these packets and work together. Remember, no tasting or smelling the chemicals or you're going to get sick! Now everyone get in groups of three, not four, not five, three! I have papers to grade from my other class so don't bother me unless it's important. Now get to it, and work quietly."

The students all began scrambling around trying to find their friends to work with. Klaus and Fiona simply smiled at each other and began reading over their assignment. They didn't know anyone else in the class anyway.

"Excuse me?"

The two looked up to see a girl had joined their table. She looked to be somewhere between Klaus and Fiona's ages and, for some reason, her school uniform was clearly a size too small. Fiona raised a brow at this obviously promiscuous girl. The mycologist couldn't help noticing the girl was far too interested in staring at Klaus. This wasn't good.

"Uh, can we help you," Klaus asked politely.

The girl smiled flirtatiously at him, "Yeah can I work with you two? Everyone else is already full. My name is Aubrey."

Klaus looked at Fiona and shrugged, "I'm ok with it if you are."

Fiona gave Aubrey a wary look. She didn't want to agree to work with this girl, but there wasn't really a choice in the matter. If she declined then it wouldn't matter because their teacher might force them to work together anyway. With a polite smile, Fiona agreed to work with her, and she and Klaus introduced themselves.

"Isadora's gonna flip when she sees this bitch hitting on her man."

Aubrey happily sat down on the stool on Klaus' other side, and the three began their assignment. All throughout their work, Fiona kept a watchful eye on Aubrey through her triangle-shaped glasses. She couldn't ignore Aubrey's flirting. This girl was obviously far more interested in Klaus than her grade. And as Isadora's friend, Fiona felt it was her job to protect Klaus from unsavory girls like this. Klaus and Isadora were incredibly happy together, Fiona and everyone else could see that they were absolutely devoted to one another, so it was only fair to be a good friend and keep away the bitches who would dare to mess with such a happy relationship. After some time of the three working on their experiment, Fiona noticed Klaus stealthily slip her a note while Aubrey wasn't looking.

Help! Aubrey just put her hand on my leg and I can't get her to let go! Isadora's going to be furious!

Fiona pretended to drop her pencil and leaned down to pick it up. Sure enough, she could see that Aubrey had indeed put her hand on Klaus' thigh and clearly had no intention of moving it. Fiona quickly sat back up and wrote out a reply.

Want me to tell the teacher?

No I just need an escape. Fast. What if I "accidentally" pour one of these chemicals on her hand?
