"That's the science room. Ms. Lewis teaches that class, and she's a sweet old lady. Ms. Williams teaches reading. And Mr. Scott teaches social studies." Simon said.

"Whoa, lots of classes and teachers and subjects, oh my!" Daniels said, jokingly."What do you do for fun around here?"

"Well, most of the time me and the others just head out to the courtyard during lunch or free period. We just sit around and talk." Simon said.

"Ooh, that sounds like fun. Maybe, I could hang out with you guys next time?" Danielle said hopefully.

"Oh, sure.I'm sure the others wouldn't mind." Simon said.

So, the two continued their tour, and met up with the others at lunch. Simon and Danielle were caught in a debate over something science-y.

"No way, boron and chlorine would not do that." Simon said, with a huge smile on his face.

"Yes, it would! You're so crazy!" Danielle say with a smile just as huge, if not bigger.

"Alright, we'll just see about that! After school, meet me in the science lab, and we'll just test that theory." said Simon.

"But we usually do our homework together after school." Jeanette said, sadly.

"Oh, um...I promise, we'll do it tomorrow." Simon said, nervously.

"Oh, um, okay." Jeanette said disappointingly.


Simon and Danielle stood in front of a lab table, dressed in lab coats and goggles. Simon was standing next to Danielle, turned away from her, working with the boron.

"Okay, the chlorine is in the bottom of the bottle, Simon." Danielle said.

"Okay, here, take the boron and put it in the beaker." Simon said, turning to face Danielle.

But as he turned he realized he was closer to Danielle, because their faces were only inches apart.

"Um..." Simon said.

"So, what...now" Danielle said.

'I wanna back up, but.. I don't wanna' Simon thought.

Then, Simon very reluctantly backed up. "So, we add the boron, and..."

Nothing happened to the mixture. "So, I guess you were right." Danielle said.

Just then, the mixture exploded from behind Danielle. She jumped, and Simon caught her. There they stood. Danielle in Simon's arms, looking deep into each other's eyes.

"Wrong." Simon said, simply with a smirk.

"But, uh, right." Danielle said.

But outside the room, Eleanor stood with Theodore, after hearing the whole conversation. She turned to look at him and simply said.

"Uh-oh"

"You got that right."

"Should we tell Jeanette?" Eleanor asked.

"Absolutely not" Theodore said quickly. Then he cleared his throat, "I mean, it would break her heart."

"But she'd hate us" Eleanor said, matter-of-factly.

"Not as much as she'd hate Simon" Theodore said, nudging Eleanor with his elbow.


Brittany and Alvin were walking home, when Alvin said randomly

"Are you jealous of Danielle?"

"Heck, no. Why did you say that?"

"I think Jeanette got pretty ticked with her at lunch."

"Why?"

"Are you kidding?" Alvin said exasperated. "First, he like totally ignored her, then, he like up and dumped her for Danielle"

"She said it was okay. That pleased Simon enough."

"Yeah, well, for a genius, Simon seems pretty oblivious to Jeanette."

"Can't argue with you there."

"So, uh, wanna make-out?" Alvin said, wiggling his eyebrows, and swinging his arm around Brittany.

Brittany broke out of his grasp, jogging forward, yelling "Keep up rockstar!"


After Danielle and Simon, cleaned up, and walked out to the courtyard.

There they saw Jeanette writing in a book. Figuring it was a diary, Simon said she should go over there.

Simon walked back into the building, and Danielle walked over to Jeanette.

"Hey Jeanette."

"Oh, you scared me." Jeanette said.

"Whatcha up to?" Danielle said.

"Not much" Jeanette said.

Suddenly, Jeanette's phone buzzed. She looked at the screen, then said, "Sorry, Danielle. I have to take this"

"It's okay."

Then Jeanette, got up and walked to the other side of the courtyard.

After a minute, she ran over and hastily said "Sorry, my mom is mad because I forgot to do something. I gotta run! Later!"

She grabbed her tote bag, and scampered out, but not before a purple book with writing on the front on front that read : Jeanette Miller's Diary.

'Read it! Find out what if she likes Simon! Do not read that diary! Don't break what could be a friendship! She already hates me because Simon likes me! But it's still wrong.'

Danielle's cocious battled itself.

'I'll keep it and give it to her later.' Danielle said, out loud, satisfied with her final decision.
