Laura lay back and listened to the Chemistry teacher: Mr. Parker drone about molecules and reactive chemicals.
"Hey, Nails, mind if I make this class a bit more exciting?" asked Tabby
"Hells No! Go right ahead" Laura said.
Tabby smiled evilly and rubbed her hands together, a small ball of yellow energy building and she blew, sending it fling into the test tube of helium and boron. KABLAM went the test tube as bluish glop flew every where. Laura and Tabby roared with laughter as Mr Parker wiped his face with his sleeve. Laura quieted and faced forward giving Tabby the sign to shut the hell up…which she promptly did. Annie turned around, looked at them and turned to whisper something to her second in command, Cassie Sandsmark.
"Bitch" Tabby under her breath. At lunch, Laura grabbed an orange plastic tray and sliding it over the silver rails; she picked up a turkey burger, fruit salad and a can of Red Bull. She scuttled over towards where Tabby, Amara and Kitty sat suddenly someone stopped her…It was Annie.
"Hey, Laura?" she asked.
"What?" asked Laura.
"We were just wondering if you wanted to eat with us." Annie said smiling.
"Um…well I said I'd eat with Tabby and Amara…" Laura said sheepishly.
"Oh, they won't mind." Annie laughed.
"Okay…" Laura said as she sat down.
"So, L, whose idea, was it to blow up the test tube?" asked Cassie.
"That would be Tabby…" Laura laughed.
"God, that girl is hilarious." Cassie said. Laura nodded, she couldn't see what Tabby had against them, and they seemed very nice. After lunch she met up with Tabby, again, for math.
"I hate Math." Tabby complained.
"I've never tried it." Laura laughed. But just as Tabby had complained: Math sucked. It was way boring. "Ick", she thought, "Tabby was right". Her last period was Drama with both Tabby and Amara. Amara volunteered to head up and recite a speech from Julius Caesar, an irony that was not lost on the New Mutants and Laura, sending her, Tabby and Jubilee into fits of giggles. The teacher looked at them and they quieted annoyed.
"Well, the tryouts for the school play, Romeo and Juliet, are on Friday of next week." said Mrs Van der Woodsen.
Laura smiled, "So, Sammy…are you trying out?"
"I think so…" he said.
"As who?" asked Laura.
"Romeo or Paris…" he said.
"I was thinking of trying out as Juliet."
"Cool, if we both get it, it'll be easy to act ´cause we're friends" Sam said laughing.
"Yeah…" Laura said. After school she headed into the Institute's library to pick up a copy of Romeo and Juliet.
