You blink, slowly turning to the pieces of meat that Mina and Todd were observing. Where did Kim say they were from again?

"Oh right!" You exclaim, nearly smacking Larry in the face. Turning to them, you say, "Kim said the meat came from Mrs. Packerton."

It's like everyone stops in the room just to stare at you, each of them confused at what you just said. The door creaks open, revealing Sal strolling in so casually. He doesn't notice the silent atmosphere, though he does take a good look at their faces.

".. What happened here?" He asks, leaning on the table beside you. What happened just earlier got to your mind, nearly sending you into another internal emotional warfare. Luckily Larry had spoken up.

"Y/N says that Kim says the meat came from Mrs. Packerton." Larry explains, pointing at their pseudo-scientists examining the raw meat. You could see Sal's eyes widen a bit, though you try not to stare at him a second longer.

You're still in emotional turmoil and looking at him for too long might cause you to fall into emotional hysteria.

Of course, you're being overly dramatic, but that's how it actually feels like for you. 

How else could you explain your heart being so fast within close proximity from Sal?

You swear you're going crazy.

"Hey," Sal pokes your forehead, snapping you out of your reverie. You blink comically, staring fully into his eyes. He merely stares at you, lightly slamming his hand on your head, "Are you okay? We're going to Math class to check something out from Packerton."

"Oh! Count me in then." You grin, lightly smacking his hand away from your head. You hear him chuckle, though you try not to notice as you link your arm with Selene. Your group head on over to Packerton's class, though you keep your distance your Sal. Somehow your heart decides to go wild whenever your near him, you swear you could feel yourself getting a heart attack just by being near him.

It's either the anxiety of the conversation later or it's hormones. You're counting on the former.

You guys get to the door, and the door suddenly unlocks by itself. You nearly panic if it weren't for Selene speaking up, "Guys.. that was me.."

You all let out a huge sigh from relief.

"Alright, I'll go guard out here. You three look inside for answers." Larry says, opening the door for the three of you. Getting inside the classroom, Sal immediately goes to the teacher's desk. You and Selene follow, since Packerton doesn't really hide anything personal in the cabinets by the back. 

"Damn, it's locked." Sal grumbles. "Any chance you can unlock this, Selly?"

"Um.. Telekinesis is.. not really helpful against.. combination locks.." She mumbles, twiddling with her thumbs. "I'm sorry.."

"It's alright, we could break it anyway," You joke, only to be given a look from Sal. You raise your hands, saying, "Woah, I'm just kidding."

"I know you are, I just wanted you to say that." He snickers, trying different combinations on the lock. It takes you guys a while, though after a few minutes you hear a click resounding throughout the room. Sal laughs, saying, "Holy shit- the combination lock is motherfuckin' Pi."

"Pi?"

"Pi."

"Open it up!"

Selene uses her ability to open the cabinet, only to find normal school supplies. She makes a face before lifting a hand up, showing that there's another compartment under the drawer.
