Yea, another story. Big shocker, isn't it?

I'm sick of disclaimers, therefore, I don't write one.

"Amazing! I've never seen anything like it—"

"Perhaps there was a tramautic experience—"

"Or slow reaction time?"

"Maybe…"

All these voices surrounded her as men in white coats poked at her and tried coming up with theories of how she was to be. She stared at them with no emotion, looking as if she was simply accepting what they were doing.

"Maybe there's something wrong with her nerve cells—"

"They already checked that! She's completely fine! She just..."

"Not reacting to anything is NOT fine! What if she burns herself, or—"

"It's not THAT kind of reaction time... it's as if—"

"She lost her ability to show emotion? But that's not possible! Even the most impassive people show emotion once in a while! There's never been anyone like her!"

She blinked once, which in turn led the hundreds of scientists around her to go crazy.

"Maybe there was dust in her eye!—"

"That's why people blink you moron—"

"Her human functions are fine! She simply does not show her thoughts through emotions on her face! I don't see why none of you people understand that!"

"It's because you scientists are too arrogant to figure out you're wrong."

Silence ensued as another man came through the doors. His sea foam eyes were filled with anger as he walked through the crowd of scientists.

"I give you a simple task: find out what's wrong with this girl. And this is all you pathetic people can do?! You call yourselves geniuses?" His voice boomed through the crowd, scaring many of the men who had become too engrossed in their theories to try and figure out what was actually wrong.

"U-um, yes sir! We won't do it again, sir!"

Tim Scam, the name of the man who was funding this project, quickly spun around to glare at the man who had spoken. "Does this look like an army? No! None of you can follow directions! Get out! You're fired!"

Anger was the definition of Tim's face at that time. "All of you! Leave!"

Many of the scientists fled from the scene, knowing Tim Scam was known for his temper. Once they left, Tim mumbled curses under his breath and turned to face the girl that had many people of the world puzzled.

"Hello there."

She looked up, staring at his face with emotionless eyes, with a sense of control Tim knew he could never have.

That's why he was so interested in her. Many times, his temper and lack of control over his emotions got him in big trouble, yet this girl...

She was able to control her every emotion, her every reaction...

And it amazed him.

"Hello." She said in a monotone, letting no hint of annoyance or anger seep through her voice.

Tim grew prouder of her.

"Do you know why you're here Samantha, that is your name correct?"

She slowly nodded, and replied. "Perhaps. I don't recall you telling me your name. Wouldn't that be considered as rude?"

He raised an eyebrow, smirking slightly. "My name is Tim Scam, and you my dear..."

"My name is Samantha, but I prefer to be called Sam."

"And why is that?"

"It annoys me."

The fact that she was able to say that with a straight face, without her voice getting higher or lower, signaling annoyance, made him even more curious about her.

"I've seen your records Saman- Sam... you're a bright girl aren't you? Top of your class? Most likely to succeed? That's quite impressive."

"Thank you. It's not hard being smart when you have no friends."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."

Silence.

She shrugged. "I'm used to it. No one wants to be friends with the girl who can't express emotions."

His admiration of her grew higher, seeing as she had said that sentence without a trace of sorrow in her voice.

How did she do it?

"I see... so you probably want to get rid of this... inability to express emotions?"

"Yes." She said with no hesitation.

"Really? That's quite interesting to hear... you see, I would like to have this amazing trait of yours."

Her eyes glanced up to see his face.

"Yes you see... I would like to have more control over my emotions, as you do. I wouldn't think of it as an inability, but more of a... gift."

"A gift?" She said in monotone.

"Yes... imagine all the things you could do..."

She shrugged. "It's not worth it."

"Oh really?"

She nodded, with no emotion on her face.

"Would you help me then? Let me show you how fun your gift can be? How much you can gain from not showing your emotions?"

Even though she didn't show it, Sam's mind raced to respond to the situation. A normal person would look confused or scared...

And she was confused... she just couldn't express it on her face or in her voice.

But something told her he wanted her for more than good things... for something she couldn't put her finger on, but she knew it wasn't good.

She wasn't the top student in her school for nothing.

"... No thanks. I'm good." She replied, simply hoping he would let her go.

Without warning, he moved to her and grabbed her by the arms, bringing her closer to eye level.

And she didn't even look surprised.

"Well then. I'm sure you won't mind me trying to take this trait from you, now will you?"

She didn't respond. With a crazy gleam in his eyes, he continued.

"You, my dear, are going to be my little science experiment. And until you regret saying those words, you will continue to be a science experiment until you help me."

"And there's nothing you can do about it."

Yay! Another story, no wait that's not good... Oh well!

Um, this is AU, if you hadn't noticed. If you need an explanation, Sam is basically a project seeing as she is unable to show emotion. Many people who are impassive choose to be impassive, but she had no choice and when she told her doctor this, she became the spotlight of many scientists who wanted to figure out what's wrong with her.

I figure I should have told you this later, and I might in the next chapter, but I'd rather not leave you confused.

Love,

Ivy
