School AU part three
Author Note: Last update for this school AU. Also, this is not my best writing. I have been super busy, so I had to write fast. Sorry for not updating for a while.
Cress and Thorne had been lab partners for almost two months. Ever since their first "real" kiss, Cress had consented to helping Thorne in chemistry while Thorne enhanced their own chemistry.
Cress focused contently on her notebook filled with lab notes in front of her while Thorne lagged behind, trying to copy.
"Hey Cress," Thorne said, interrupting her from her work.
"Yeah?" Cress replied, distracted.
"I have a new theory on inertia."
"Really?" Cress said, looking up, surprised.
"Yeah, but it doesn't seem to be gaining momentum," Thorne finished the joke.
"Ha ha," Cress said, returning to her work. Cress scribbled in her notebooks a little longer about mechanical advantage: the mechanical advantage is output work/input work.
Thorne interrupted her again, "Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar… And doesn't."
Cress looked at Throne, raising her eyebrows.
"That bad, huh?" Thorne asked.
"Yeah…" Cress said, scribbling another note down: efficiency is the input work/output work times 100%.
Thorne again interrupted her work, "A neutron walks into a bar and asks how much a beer costs. The bartender says, 'For you, no charge.'"
"That was pretty good," Cress admits, smiling a bit to herself.
After this continued for a couple minutes, Cress became irritated.
"Carbon-Holmium-Cobalt-Lanthanum-Tellurium or CHoCoLaTe. Get it?"
"Thorne, I get these, but why are you telling me them while I'm trying to work?"
"Well," Thorne says, looking embarrassed, "I just wanted to get you to laugh, and you're all nerdy so…"
Cress laughed at this, "Oh, you don't have to make nerdy jokes for me."
"Well, if I knew it would be that easy to make you laugh I would have told you that at the beginning."
Cress chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck and got on her tip-toes to reach his face. Thorne leaned down and kissed her on her nose. "Okay, but can I tell you one more? I spent a lot of time memorizing these last night."
"Thorne!"
