chapter four, chemistry

Later on that day Alex is sitting in chemistry class, writing down the notes that were written on the chalkboard and glancing over at Evie every once in awhile. It's not like she would notice him staring since she was too busy staring at Chad.

" Any chance he's in line for the throne?" he looked up from his notebook hearing that and looked over to his left, where Evie and Doug sat, to see that Evie was looking at Chad with heart eyes. He rolled his eyes and continued copying down the notes.

" Anywhere in line?"  Evie asked.

" Chad. Prince Charming Jr.Cinderella's son." Doug told her and she gasped as she looked at him. Alex feared that she was even more interested in Chad than before.

" Chad inherited the charm, but not a lot of there there, know what I mean?" Doug asks and Alex glances up from his notebook to see that Evie wasn't even listening to him anymore. Alex looks over at Chad who sat in front of him and noticed he was staring back at Evie and Alex frowned.

" Looks like there is there there to me." Is all Evie says and then she giggles.

Alex looks back at his notebook once he notices the teacher walking over to them. " Evie. Perhaps this is just review for you. So tell me, what is the average atomic weight of silver?"

Alex honestly was curious if Evie knew this as well and as he glanced over at her, the look on her face made him realize she didn't have a clue. " Atomic weight? Uh, well, not very much."

" I mean, it's an atom, right?" Evie laughs nervously and Chad laughs along with her, but the teacher didn't seem so happy with her answer and gestured her to go up to the front.

Evie frowned and for the first time since the night at the museum she looked over at Alex. He tilted his head to the side as Evie quickly looked away and bended down to her bag to get something out of it. He squinted his eyes to try and see what she was grabbing out of her bag, but he couldn't tell what it was because she got up too fast and was already walking up to the front.

Evie takes the chalk from the teacher. " How do I found the average atomic weight of silver?" she then writes the answer on the board as she says it out loud. Alex glanced down at the notes on his paper seeing if she got it right since he had the answer on his. " 106.905 times .2500 plus 108.905 times .4800 which, Mr. Delay, would give us 107.9 AMU."

Alex's eyes widened as he glanced back and forth from his paper to the board, making sure that was correct. He was shocked that Evie could work it out so quickly and actually got the right answer. No one does that.

Mr. Delay nods. " I forget. Always a mistake to underestimate..."

Evie twirls around as she faces Mr. Delay and Alex couldn't help it as he stared at her in awe. " A villain? Don't make it again." she throws the chalk back to Mr. Delay who catches it and as Evie walks back to her seat, Alex notices that Chad hands her a folded up piece of paper that he only guessed either had his number on it or a note.

He looked over at the note she got and frowned seeing her nod and smile at Chad. Alex rolls his eyes as the two go back to staring at each other all lovey dovey.

He didn't think his day could get worse but it did.

He and Phoebe were working on math homework out on the bleachers since Alex was honestly awful at math and Phoebe seemed to be amazing at it so he always went to her for help. Phoebe looked over to her right.

" Oh no." she whispered and that got his attention.

" Oh no? What do you mean ' oh no '? Did you get a wrong answer?" he asked with a raised brow as she looked at him.

She shook her head and pointed to what she was looking at. Alex looked below the bleachers and saw Evie and Chad. He frowned. Is that what that note was? Whatever it was, he didn't like seeing them together.

" I'm sorry." she said, knowing that he liked Evie and she could tell that he was heartbroken by the sad puppy dog look on his face that made her heart ache.

Alex sighed and puts his things back in his backpack. " It's not your fault. It's my fault for ever having these stupid feelings. Thanks for the help with the homework."

She sent him a small smile. " You're welcome. Hang in there." she patted him on the shoulder. " I have a feeling that," she pointed at Evie and Chad. " won't last long."

He sighed as he stood up while putting his backpack on his shoulders. " That's what I'm hoping for." he mumbled under his breath as he waved goodbye at her before walking down the bleachers and back to the dorms.
