Alright so here's chapter 2, I finally got some time to update. Couple things: First of all, I'm going to shift the story slightly. Rather than being purely from Tweek's POV, I'm going introduce more of Clyde's thoughts. It'll still be primarily focused on Tweek, just with a little variety. Secondly, I hate the name of this fic. :( I'll probably keep it, but I was throwing it out there as an FYI kinda thing. Oh, and the title comes from the Semisonic song, not that anyone would've really noticed, but credit where credit is due. Please R&R!

High School Life

Part 2: All About Chemistry

By: TweekFan

Tweek lifted his head to look at the blackboard. The teacher had been droning on for what felt like an hour already. A quick glance confirmed that it had only been about 10 minutes, so he was trapped for a while. He glanced over at Clyde who was diligently taking notes on everything. Thank God Tweek had him for his partner, he would've been lost if it weren't for his studious pal. He picked up his pencil and started to aimlessly doodle on his notebook, occasionally glancing over at Clyde. He wasn't sure why, but for some reason he found Clyde enormously interesting right now. The concentration slightly twisted his features, broken only when he looked up at the board curiously. Clyde's shaggy brown hair was falling just below his eyebrows, he had just gotten it cut Monday, so it was still picture perfect. He had on a snug T-shirt, red of course. Clyde's years of swimming had obviously been good to him, he seemed to have no fat anywhere on him. The teacher finished up his lecture 5 minutes later and released the class to perform the experiment. Tweek sighed and slammed his notebook closed striding over to the table where Clyde was already standing.

"Alright Tweek, so do you know what we're doing?"

"Uh...no. Not really."

Clyde glanced up at his partner looking slightly frustrated. Tweek looked back at his friend and tried his best to look apologetic. Clyde finally just rolled his eyes and looked back down at his notes.

"Never mind, it's not important anyway. So first, Tweek, put 5 ml of water in that beaker."

Tweek quickly complied, turning the faucet on just barely enough for the water to pour into the beaker.

"Alright, so put that on the Bunsen Burner."

Tweek glanced at the device. Fire. Fire and him didn't get along so well.

"Uh, Clyde...I...uhm..."

Clyde took the beaker form Tweek when he saw him starting to shake. Clyde gave him a lopsided smile.

"Sorry, I'll get it."

He watched with wide eyes as Clyde started the flame, jumping a little when the blue flame shot to life. Tweek breathed a sigh of relief as Clyde placed the beaker over top of the flame.

"So next, we take an eye dropper of the blue stuff there, and place two drops of it in the water."

Tweek handed him the dropper and stood back at a safe distance as Clyde meticulously dropped exactly two drops in the water. Tweek watched as they mingled into the water before the entire beaker became a pale blue.

"Finally, we place the red fluid in. Can you get that Tweek?"

Tweek looked at his friend, horror etching itself into his facial features.

"C'mon Tweek, you're supposed to be helping here. Please?"

Tweek, slowly picked up the eyedropper and investigated the item thoroughly.

"It's two drops of that Tweek."

Tweek slowly moved within range of the beaker. His arm was fully outstretched and he had his whole body as far away as he could possibly be. Clyde smiled and chuckled softly to himself at the sight of his friend.. Tweek was almost parallel with the floor by the time he finally got the two drops into the beaker. He pulled back immediately after performing the deed. He stood on almost the opposite of the room, pressed against another table, when the reaction started. The solution fizzled and foamed up some. Clyde recorded the results in his notebook. Clyde whipped around when he heard Tweek scream. Suddenly Tweek was pressed against his friend, cowering from something obviously.

"JESUS CHRIST! IT"S GOING TO KILL ME!"

"What?"

Tweek gripped Clyde's shoulders and pressed his face between his shoulder blades . Tweek pointed to the source of his alarm from around Clyde's back. Clyde followed the direction of Tweek's finger to a small spider that was walking on the floor. He glanced back with amusement at his panicky pal.

"It's a Black Widow! I just know it is!"

"Tweek, really it's just..."

"What! What could be worse than a Black Widow!"

"It's just a spider Tweek, that's all." Clyde took the short steps over to the arachnid and squashed it with the toe of his sneaker. "See? No big deal."

Tweek looked worriedly from Clyde's foot up to his face. Tweek locked his bewildered gaze onto Clyde's eyes. Clyde felt his breath catch for just a second as he looked at Tweek's green eyes. He thought that it was the first time he'd ever seen his friend's eyes, or at least the first time he ever noticed them. The worry and amazement that Tweek's eyes conveyed was enough to make him feel light headed. The spell was broken when Tweek glanced back down at the former spider. Clyde shook his head to clear his thoughts and smiled lightly as he walked up and patted Tweek on the back.

"It's okay buddy, spiders aren't anything to worry about."

Tweek nodded as if he had understood, but his gaze was still on the floor. Clyde looked up and realized that the whole room had stopped what they were doing and were looking at the two of them.. Clyde gave them a slight shrug and went back to the workstation.

"Alright Tweek. Tweek?

He grabbed Tweek and turned him back around to the table gaining a small squeak from the blonde boy.

"Tweek, here are my notes, just copy them down and turn them in on Monday, okay?"

Tweek gave another nod and took the book from Clyde's hands.

"Later Tweek, remember Friday!"

He waved to Clyde and stuffed the notebook into his bag just as the bell rang. Next he was off to study hall, none of his friends were in it with him so it was a great time to copy Clyde's notes. He hunched his shoulders and looked at the floor as he made his way through the halls. He didn't need any attention, his heart was still racing from the incident in Chemistry. When he finally arrived he made his way to the back of the room, it was a good place to get some work done. He barely noticed when Kenny McCormick walked in and sat next to him, whatever girl he was currently dating sat on the other side. Tweek shot them a dirty look as they started to carry on loudly. He reached into his bag and pulled out the two notebooks, not like there was anything he would do anyway. Now if Clyde was here, he would've made them be quiet, but Tweek Tweak never asked anyone for anything. He flipped Clyde's notebook open to the proper page. He started to flip through his own notebook to the first empty page. When he finally got to the page he stopped. He looked at the page somewhat confused. It was his doodle from Chemistry, he didn't even remember drawing it. At first he doubted he had even done it, it was far more elaborate or detailed than his usual doodles. He blinked, than shook his head to wake himself up. He pulled the sheet out of the notebook and threw it on the ground. He started to copy the notes, trying hard to keep his handwriting steady and legible. He worked all through class and finished copying everything that Clyde had written. When the bell rang he got returned the notebooks to his bag and stood up to leave. He noticed the wad of paper at his foot and bent down to pick it up. He looked over the drawing once again, still utterly confused by the sketch. He threw the sheet in the trash on his way out, one more period to go.

The teacher packed up her things and left once the room was clear of students. She paused for a second when something in the trash caught her attention. She lifted out the scrap of paper and looked at it. It was the most beautiful drawing of a heart she'd ever seen.

So? How was that one? Leave a review if you'd like. I love to hear what other people think.
