Ted opened the door to the Chem lab and entered. His Algebra class was uneventful. His teacher, Mr. Ingram, was nice and all, but seemed crotchety and boring. Ted was a bit excited for Chemistry. He had heard stories about the teacher.

Speaking of the teacher, he was nowhere to be found. On the white board was a seating chart and instructions to wait patiently. Ted looked at the chart and headed over to his seat, which just so happened to be right next to Eve Baldwin. She smiled at him as he sat down.

"Ready to learn about the wonderful and simple world of atoms and bonds with me Ted?" she asked sarcastically, "It will be oh so fun and easy to learn." He snorted and placed his bag on the floor next to him. "Actually," he responded, "I hear this class ain't that bad." Eve hummed in agreement. "Yeah, apparently this class is more hands on than lecture based like at other schools. Plus I hear that the professor really loves to do experiments and labs." She added. Ted nodded his head before adding "That's cool, but I highly doubt we'll be blowing anything up on the first day." Just then, a door in the back of the lab blew open and in rolled a man in a wheelchair. He was quite skilled at handling it, as he weaved through the rows of lab tables, speaking as he went.

"Greetings children, I am Professor Scaleless and I welcome you to Chemistry class. I'm sure you'll find it wonderful and easy to learn." He then stopped in front of the white board and wheeled around to face them. He peered over his spectacles, and grinned at them, "Now then, who wants to blow something up?"

Ted, Eve, and the rest of their Chem class stumbled coughing out of the lab followed by a cloud of smoke. Professor Scaleless rolled out and waved some smoke away, "Now that, class," he began, "Is why we don't mix to highly unstable compounds simply because their names sound cool. Now gather around, I have something very important to tell you all." The class leaned in expectantly to listen to the professor, who cupped his hands around his mouth and whispered "Lightening" before laughing maniacally and wheeling down the hallway, leaving his students dumbfounded.

As everybody hurried off to their next class, Eve turned to Ted and spoke, "Well, that was weird." Ted simply nodded, "Yeah." Eve shifted her books in her arms before speaking again, "Hey, I have to get to my History class. Would you mind walking with me?" Ted snapped his attention back to her, "Hmm, oh, sorry, but I'm heading in the opposite direction." Eve nodded her head, "Oh, okay then." There was an odd hint of disappointment in her voice, but she quickly added, "Have fun, I'll see you around." Ted watched her hurry off before a voice pulled him away.

"Stupid idiot." He turned to see Steph staring at him with a blank expression. Before he could respond, she turned on her heel and marched down the hall. Ted stared after and could only utter, "What'd I do?" Once more he was distracted by a voice.

"Oh, poor, poor, innocent Theodore. It's almost painful to see someone this stupid."

"I agree, you'd think after hanging around me, he'd have way more luck with the ladies."

"Actually, now that you mention it, I'm not surprised in the slightest."

He turned to see Oscar and Jim leaning against a row of lockers, regarding him. He raised his eyebrow at them, "What are you two idiots blabbering about?"

Oscar simply clapped him on the shoulder and started pushing him gently down the hall, "Nothing, little brother. Let's go, we're heading the same place you are."

Ted trudged into his English class. He was tired, hungry, and just didn't give a shit anymore. His computer class seemed alright. He wasn't really paying attention as he was trying to get Steph, who was also in that class, to not be mad at him. It had taken three bad jokes, two cat pictures, and a peace offering of promising to buy her cookies to get her to crack a smile. Granted it was a small one but still one regardless. Afterwards, she forced him to carry her books across the school to her next class, leaving him to dash back to get to class on time. He was lucky he didn't run into Ms. Vel, though he did almost crash into a janitor who shook his fist and shouted something about "Hurting Yuri."
