Part of You

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hailie’s POV

‘’We must have done something wrong!’’

‘’You might be right.’’

I look through the instruction sheet for the billion times and read it out loud.

‘’Take out 100 mL of thiosulfate 0.10M. Weigh 32g of oxalic acid, transfer to a 400 mL beaker, add 200 mL of water and heat 80°C. Once the acid is dissolved, transfer to a volumetric flask of 500 mL which is half filled with cold water. Shake vigorously and place in a beaker.’’ I turned my attention to the sheet we did together with all the theory that would be useful for this lab exam.

‘’Harry, how much thiosulfate did you put in?’’

He scratched the back of his neck, thinking about my question. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he completely stopped moving. He looked at me, hesitating.

‘’I put twice the amount requested.’’

I face palmed myself. We had to restart for the fifth time! Harry took the beaker that contained our crappy mixture and poured it into the ‘wasted boiler’, aka ‘all the mix your trying and you failed miserably at each time’. We parted the tasks in two.

‘’Careful, Harry: it will only be your fault if we fail this lab!’’ I joked.

‘’Sssh, let me concentrate. Put the water in the volumetric flask instead.’’ He responded.

I laughed, grabbing the volumetric flask. There was a tube of rubber attached to the opening of the faucet. I took the tube and pushed it in the opening of the flask and turned the handle of the faucet for the cold water. While I waited, I examined Harry. His eyebrows were furrowed in concentration and his tongue was slightly out of his mouth. Whenever he thought he made a mistake, his face became more and more tense and he was backing up, he’s hands passing through his hair. When he remarked that everything was alright, his features soften, but they quickly regained their concentrated look.

Harry’s eyes diverged from his task and looked in the sink. His eyes grown up.

‘’Hailie!’’

Just before I detached my view from him, the tube of rubber went out abruptly and the volumetric flask flew away from my hands, splashing us with cold water. I let out a squeal from my mouth.

Followed by a death silence in the class.

My shirt had a wet spot on it and I had droplets of water all over my face. I slowly raised my head to note the damage: Harry’s hair was partly soaked in the front, and his shirt was too. He bit his lower lips, like he always did when he was trying to contain him from laughing.

And rarely did it work.

We burst into laughter and slowly, the entire class joined us.

‘’What is going on here!’’

The hilarity that had conquered the class was now fading away quickly by the annoying sound of Mrs. Flores voice. I snapped my lips together and started cleaning up the mess before she could have a glimpse of it. I need my ninja power.

Before Mrs. Flores approached our lab desk, I mouthed ‘Shut up’ to Harry. Because I’m the luckiest girl ever seen on Earth, he avoided my evil look and continued laughing. Let’s add he was the only person in the class still laughing. I prepared for the worst.

‘’You think you’re in a zoo!?’’ Mrs. Flores yelled when she saw how I messed up.

Harry had finally managed to stop his laughter and he turned off the water. The tube of rubber was resting on the desk lab. The only sheet who wasn’t destroyed by the water was our exam.

‘’Mrs. It was an-‘’ I started to defended myself but she cut me.

‘’You stay an hour after classes to clean up my lab! Both of you!’’ She hissed before returning furiously at her desk.

‘’Come on, class!’’ She clapped her hands. “There is nothing to watch! You have an exam to finish!’’

I turned around and leaned on the desk, where it was still dry. An hour after classes cleaning… That wouldn’t be as boring as it sounds like, since we’ll be two. And I’ll be with Harry. We’ll surely goof around. I smiled at this thought.

But it disappeared when another came in a rush in my head: the party.

Notes

Hey, I'm back! I had to stop for a moment because I had to eat. Pizza, urg. Yeah, I HATE pizza! I know, people tell me all the time: I strange.
What happened in chemistry... happened to me. Except our teacher didn't scold us! She was walking around the class, answering the questions of the students, and when she arrived at our table, she asked us what happened and when we told her, she just shook her head and smiled.

Anyway, I don't really have questions for you on this chapter, so let's just skip the questions lol
