"Ok class, everyone please sit in your assigned groups and proceed to work on your chemistry group assignment number one." The teacher said as he wrote the assignment on the board.

Emily sat in her seat quietly panicking as Paige and Maya grabbed their things and headed over to Emily's lab station. Nervous, Emily knocked over a bottle of nitrobenzene all over on the table as soon as they sat next to her, spilling it all over herself and on Maya and Paige as well.

"Oh my gosh!" Maya scream

"I'm so sorry!" said Emily

"Quick! You three go to the girls locker room immediately wash your skin for at least 10 minutes! Nitrobenzene is highly toxic and it can burn through your skin! Go! Now! Now! Now!" yelled the teacher.

"Ugh I'm such an idiot" Emily thought to herself.

Emily, Paige, and Maya ran out the classroom and into the girls locker room.

Emily started to feel her skin burn as they ran looking for an open shower.

Paige ripped off her clothes and immediately hopped into the first open shower. There was only one free shower lift since all the other showers were occupied by the girls from the volleyball team.

"Go Maya! Take that one!" Emily yelled in pain as her skin was burning.

"No just go!" Maya said rubbing and scratching her skin. "You got way more on you than me"

"I'm not moving Maya." Emily said bouncing up and down trying to ignore the burning.

Realizing that Emily wasn't going to take the shower, Maya quickly took off her clothes, grab Emily's hand, and pulled her in the shower with her. As Emily entered the shower, she took off her clothes as well.

At first, the warm water hitting their skin made the burning worse. But then Maya turned the water to cold and their skin began to become slowly relieved.

Maya grabbed the soap and began lathering her skin to get the nitrobenzene off her skin. As they both stood naked under the running water, Maya had her back toward Emily and Emily stood directly behind her. Emily couldn't help but to notice how beautiful Maya's hair glistened in the water. She ran her eyes down Maya's entire body, staring at her wavy black her, her soft shoulder blades, her smooth back, her cute round butt, and her tan thighs. Emily could feel her heart racing and knees get weak as she stared at Maya washing off in the shower a few inches in front of her.

Maya turned around to face Emily to rinsed her back.

"Here, take the soap, I'm pretty much done" Maya says handing the soap to Emily.

For a brief 2 seconds the soap was in both Emily and Maya's hand and they both stared into each other's eyes. Although it was only a brief 2 seconds, Emily felt like such an intense rise of emotions and she could tell that Maya was feeling something too.

Maya, broke their stare and began walking out passed Emily. Emily continued to stare at Maya as she walked away until she was out of sight.

Paige and Maya finished at about the same time and headed back to the classroom.

Wanting to break the awkward silence, Maya decides to speak.

"Leave it to Emily to spill nitrobenzene on us." Maya says trying to lighten up the mood. "Once the burning stopped, it was actually kind of funny" Maya smiled.

"Yeah she can be such a goofball sometimes. I like that about her though" Paige said.

"Oh you and Emily are friends? I didn't know that." Maya said

"Well friends isn't really exactly what I'd call it." Paige said

"What do you mean?" Maya asked

"Well…..we kind of…dated. While you were away. We were pretty into each other."

"You are such a fucking liar." Maya said getting angry

"Nope, why would I lie about it." Paige said.

Maya's anger turned into sadness as she realized that Emily was seeing other people shortly after they had broken up. It was obvious to Maya to Emily had clearly gotten over her fairly quickly.
