'DADDY!' The word bounced around, echoing off of nonexistent walls and floors. It was just emptiness, not black, not any color that could be described by words. The only thing that excited was that one pathetic cry. Images then began to form. A little boy was running to me. He looked up at me with giant glass eyes.
"I can't find my daddy!" The small child, no older than five, took my hand. Tears began to roll down his rosy cheeks. I was immobilized in my spot.
"I'm sorry; I wish I could help you…" I didn't choose those words, they just… happened. The boy looked up with a tear stained face and my heart sank to my stomach.
"GOOD MORNIN'!" My cursed alarm screeched. I groaned, but uncovered myself and got up to shut off the annoyance.
"6:35!? In gonna be late for the bus!" I grabbed my backpack and flew out the door. Sure enough, the bus was waiting for me at the stop. The last person stepped on, and I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. Luckily, the driver saw me and waited.
My feet clunked up the stairs and I found a seat next to Blue.
"Who's the late one now?" She smirked. I chuckled.
"Shut up." As soon as I recovered from the unexpected jog, my mind started to wander. Then it hit me. My eyes widened and my heart rate spiked. 'I have a project with Silver today!' I internally screamed and flopped my head down on my backpack, immediately regretting it. My glasses jammed painfully into the bridge of my nose. As I tilted my head back up, I found too much relief that I hadn't damaged them or my face.
"Looking forward to spending time with your lab partner?" Blue teased, voice laced with a smirk. I responded with a groan. However, I shot up in my seat quickly, recalling the conversation from yesterday.
"You didn't say anything to him, did you?" Another shock of terror pulsed through me. I would never be able to relax this week worrying about my best friend manipulating Silver.
The blue-eyed girl giggled. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't." She winked at me. That could never be a good sign. Ugh, why me, Arceus, why me?
"Bluuue, you know I didn't want you to do that!" Defeated already, I laid my head on my backpack, this time less violently. 'It's only a week, it's only a week…' I kept telling myself, trying to make the situation seem a whole lot less chaotic.
Before I knew it, the brakes of the bus screeched to a halt and it was time to unload.
I arrived in my first hour, business as usual. My hands sat in my lap crunched into balls and sweating, dreading for the class to start. This time, minutes felt like hours for a much worse reason. I could hear each heavy heartbeat as it pounded through my body. Dizziness captured me and I could feel myself sway in my seat. 'Aurora, get a grip! You're just doing a lab, that's it! You can't let this get to your head like this.' Focusing on calming down, I took a giant breath in through my nose, and out of my mouth. This made me feel tons better, but still not good by any stretch. Usually, my phone could serve as a way of distraction and a calming mechanism, but it didn't work in this instance. My mind wouldn't come off of this panic attack, and I was left to ride it out helplessly.
After what felt like 2 hours, the 5 minutes until the bell came and Silver waltzed into the room, business as usual. My heart flew into my throat and started beating like the hooves of a Rapidash. Thanks to the wonderful liquid in our body known as blood, my face responded to the elevated heart rate by turning red. 'Wonderful, simply wonderful!' I thought to myself. 'Curse my pale complexion'.
"Good morning, class!" Our teacher greeted us.
"Good morning Mrs. Lynch!" Gold greeted, way to peppy. I rolled my eyes.
"Good morning, Gold…" The teacher replied, a bit annoyed at the gold-eyed boy. You can probably figure out why. "Today you will be working on your partner labs. Everything is due at the end of the day on Friday, so use your time in class wisely." The woman turned around and sat at her computer, signaling to all of us that we could get to work.
'This is it.' I thought. I grabbed up my stuff for the lab and grabbed a station before we had to share one. Silver wasn't too far behind me. Blushing, I gave him a shy smile.
"O-ok. First thing we need to do is get the materials. I'll get the hydrochloric acid, the beaker, and the liquid indicators." I sputtered out in one breath, staring at my paper. Silver just nodded Silver just nodded, and we both went to get the supplies. I bumped into someone on the way there out of clumsiness and stuttered an apology.
"Whoa, watch where you're going, honey." An annoying voice joked. I looked up to see none other than Gold snickering. I rolled my eyes and continued on my way to get the materials.
I returned to the table with all of the stuff I set out to collect. Silver arrived at the same time with his stuff. In his hands he held two pairs of lab goggles, one of which he held out to me. I set the last of my things down and took them, again slightly brushing fingers with the red head. This time I heard the cry of Ho-oh: a long, majestic cray, almost magical sounding.
"Are you okay?" Silver asked. I must have spaced out a bit because his voice snapped me back into reality. I blushed and stuttered out incoherent words and syllables.
"Y-yeah, s-sorry." I finally managed.
For the next 20 minutes, we worked on the lab without problem, and my anxiety level dropped a good deal. 'I never thought I'd say it (think it?), but I'm actually enjoying my time with Silver!' The only thing I had experience thus far in life with crushes was the anxiety of being in the same room as them. I really don't know why it causes me such anxiety, it just does.
"Hey, Silver, what'd you guys get for the second one?" Gold scooted in a little too close to me, bumping into my arm. Slightly startled by the contact and sudden presence, I jumped, fell into Silver and spilled acid on most of our equipment. An image of a creepy white mask flashed through my mind.
Normally, I would be mortified at this much contact with my crush, but oh no, not this time. I wasn't very fond of Gold to begin with; now he comes barging in here like a buffoon, knocks me into my crush, and ruins our lab. Yeah, I'm ticked. Emotions rush to my brain all at once: fear, embarrassment, anger. As a result of the overwhelming emotions that now flooded my brain, my face turned the color of a cheri berry. I attempted to compose myself by taking a deep breath. After recovering from the initial shock, I stepped away from Silver and turned to get some paper towel.
"Ooh sorry 'bout that…" Gold's eyes widen slightly at the spilled chemicals (and maybe my psycho look,) and he laughs nervously.
"You dumb***, we were almost done with that!" Silver said to his best friend, slightly irritated. His reaction to the situation reassured me that I didn't over react too much. I walked away in a huff.
"Geez, calm down! I was just an accident." Gold held his hands up in defense. The red haired teen let out a large sigh and rubbed his temples. The prankster then decided to go back to his own group, much to my relief. I returned shortly with a giant wad of paper towels, handing half of it to Silver. He thanked me and started to help clean up.
"Sorry about Gold. He's just… immature." Silver spoke softly, with a slight edge to his voice.
"You don't have to apologize on his behalf; it's not your fault." I replied, genuine in my response. We finished cleaning and restarted our trials. Luckily, we recorded the data we had observed, so we didn't have to redo the whole thing. The rest of class was quite quiet actually, and went without event.
I packed up my stuff once we were cleaned up a second time from the lab and waited to be dismissed from class. Lost in thought, I reflected on the hours events, proud of myself for the progress I was making with Silver so quickly. 'I almost let it slip past me, so much was happening at once!' The image of the mask flashed through my mind once more. 'These things, they make no sense! I've never seen a mask like this before… I wonder what it could mean.' I caught myself staring at the metallic-eyed boy (no not Gold ew), and I blushed and quickly snapped my head down. 'I hope he didn't notice…' My thoughts were cut off when the bell rang.
Impatiently, I waited behind a crowd of people to get out the door. Oddly enough, I ended up right behind you-can-probably-guess-by-now. 'He smells good… what no that's creepy… Ugh curse you hormones.'
