Chapter 1

I am the essence of cool. Or, so I'm told. And being the essence of cool requires me to barely acknowledge the existence of those beneath me-which happens to be everyone.

However, I can't deny them, and from time to time I make rather interesting observations about those less fortunate than I. Although so much goes on within our classroom, nothing is really worthwhile listing, except of course, the chemistry between Cindy and that Neutron. And even through town, the only remarkable thing is the passion that flares between them. Passion that vaporizes in their hatred and rivalry.

Would you say I'm jealous? No, not of Cindy, for why would I want Neutron to have an interest in me? And envy does not illusion me from his affections for her.

For Cindy is definitely not the type of girl I wish to date. However, I must admit I enjoyed our flirtations and almost touches. She went giddy like the rest of them, but had the courage to play those daring games I so often took part in. So how did all that change? It was all after the trip to that planet. That particular trip; which stole Cindy's heart from within my careless grasp and dropped it intentionally into his hands, was the trip I feel I had lost some respect among my peers. But I obtained it back.

She used to sit in front of me, so her whispers could be heard my ears only. And then…slowly she began moving up. Nobody noticed, because it all gave them the chance to be near me at the back of the class. But I did. For I actually missed her giggles of delight when I would purr her name. The stares she would so often try to hide. But slowly, ever so slowly, she drifted away to behind that pathetic Neutron. I think she did it because she wanted to prove herself as his equal, or better. And then she sat next to him, and their desire soared. But, I could also see that Neutron did not realize her intentions, especially because so often would I see him pine after that perfection of a girl. Betty Quinlan.

But Cindy did change. She wanted his attention, and no longer craved mine. Her personality, her attire. But none of it seemed to work. And I could see that Neutron had no thought of her on his mind.

So why did I do what I did you ask? Why did I attempt to destroy what fragile relationship they had?

Because he had no right to take her away from me. He, was nothing compared to everything that I am. And even though I felt no romantic attachment to Cindy Vortex, I felt her existence was unjust. And it was up to me, to correct the right path of life.

I walked in late again. But Mrs. Fowl just swooned like the rest of the girls in my class. Except, of course, Cindy, who gave me a rather sweet smile and proceeded with her work. Jimmy; however, bestowed a varied look of admiration and disgust.

So casting him an uplift eyebrow and smirk combination, I leaned down and purred softly into Cindy's ear. "Good morning." The blood crept slowly up her cheeks and Neutron; his face was pure heaven to me. The pencil in his vice breaking, splinters burrowing in his hand. And that look of such hatred and longing was ecstasy in my eyes.

I laughed inside at all the females who threw silent fits and angry glares at Cindy.

"Now Class, Baaaaaak please get out your Baaaaaaaaaaaaak science books and pick three chemistry labs you would like to do. I'll be assigning your groups today for the two-week project." I sat back, lifting my legs onto the desk. It didn't matter to me who was in my group; everyone would gladly do all the work for me and give me partial, if not all, the credit. "Libby, Sheen and Carl…Brittany, Mark and Derek…." Mrs. Fowl gave a rare smile. "Jimmy, Nick and…Cindy." A genuine grin graced my face. It was the perfect match. "Everyone assemble yourselves in your groups!"

Cindy stood from her seat and slowly trudged down the aisle to an empty desk next to me. Jimmy remained at his desk for a few moments, before turning round and seeing that I, would obviously not move.

"Hey Neutron, there's room for one more." He gave me a look of repugnance and gathered his books, moving to the desk opposite Cindy and I.

" So Nerdtron, which lab do you want to do?" She emphasized his name with bitterness, and a touch of hopefulness.

"Well Vortex, I think we should study the effects of the Alkali metals and water-"

"No way! We should study mercury at its liquid state-"

"Alkali metals!"

"Mercury!" Their faces were dangerously close in their fury. I pulled Cindy down, both my hands resting on those delicate shoulders of hers.

"Cindy…lets do the Alkali metals, we can do mercury another time." Underneath the boundary of wood I ran my hand innocently across her knee, savouring the crimson blush that stained her cheeks. Neutron noticed of course, and bit back his tongue.

"Okay…Nerdtron, we'll do the Alkali metals."

"Then we'll meet at eighteen hundred hours, outside my lab." Blank faces stared back at him. "6'oclock, pm." He muttered softly, drawing up our project plans. Cindy attempted to give him ideas; which all sounded complicated and boring to me, and he returned them with spite. However, out of the corner of my eye, I saw him writing some of them down and crossing out his own. Very interesting indeed.
