Hey look what snooped up on me this morning! It's the second chapter! Just couldn't keep it away from you guys long.

Chapter 2: Mistakes.

"And then they blew it up! Isn't that awesome?!" Michael exclaimed.

"Sounds like a really crappy movie to me. Why did you stay up late just to watch that?" Jack asked.

"You were up late too. I saw light coming from your room." Michael said. "Were you writing a poem to..."

"Mike, would you stop it already. There's absolutely nothing between the two of us." Jack said.

"Ah, but you wish there were."

"Shut up."

"Who are they talking about?" Daniel asked.

"A girl Jack likes. Michael's been bugging Jack about it since he mentioned her." Kayla said.

"Sure, make it sound like I brought this on myself." Jack said.

"Well, you sort of did." Michael said.

"I'm gonna stick with my first thought. Shut up."

"Are they always like this?" Daniel asked.

"Oh yeah. Good luck with them." Kayla answered. They had finally made it to the school. "I'll see

you all after school, bye." She said as she ran off.

"Jack, one o'clock. There she is." Michael said.

"Which one?" Daniel asked, curious.

"The hot blond chick."

"She has a name, you know." Jack said annoyed.

"Yeah, but a name wouldn't help Danny here. Anyway, you should go talk to her."

"And say what?"

"I don't know. Something."

"Helpful." Jack said. None the less, he walked over to the girl in question.

"Hey Sam." He said

"Jack, hi." She answered back with a smile.

"Uh, you wouldn't happen to remember what class we start in?"

"Chemistry."

"Right. We got that lab to do, right?"

"That's right."

"Um, do you already have a lab partner?"

"No, not yet." Sam answered smiling again.

"Cool, well not cool, it's just that I don't have a partner yet either so I was wondering if..." At that moment, Michael passed by and pushed Jack right into Sam, making the pair fall to the ground.

"Oh yeah. Real mature, Mike!" Jack yelled after him. "Sorry about that." He said as he helped Sam up.

"Hey, I get it. I have an older brother too."

Daniel caught up to Jack. "You guys ok?"

"Yeah, we're fine. Sam, this is Daniel. Daniel, Sam."

"Hi." Daniel said.

"Hi. Um, Jack, you were saying something?" Sam said.

"Right, I just wanted to know if you wanted to be my lab partner."

"Sure. I'll see you in class. Bye." Sam said.

"Well, that went well." Jack said.

"What did?"

"You've really never been in a relationship, have you?"

"No, like I said yesterday..."

"Yeah, I heard, I just found it a little hard to believe. Anyway, we should probably go find your locker and stuff." Jack said. They both headed toward the school.

"So, I saw you chatting with Jack." Janet, Sam's best friend, said.

"Yup." Sam answered with a smile.

"Soooo, what did he say?"

"Well, he asked me to be his..."

"Oh, my gosh! He asked you to the dance! You know it's about time because..."

"Janet, slow down! He just asked me to be his lab partner."

"Lab partners! Oh."

"Yeah, oh. You really need to stop jumping to conclusions all the time."

"Well what do you expect? You've liked each other for so long that I had expected things to

move forward a little by now."

"They have."

"Lab partners? Yeah, I can see you too are really becoming a couple."

"Janet..."

"And don't say that he doesn't like you because it is very obvious to everybody else that he does. Just look at the way he looks at you or is always finding an excuse to talk to you or be with you."

"Well, obviously he doesn't like me enough to invite me to the dance."

"He's just worried you'll turn him down because he has the same delusion that you seem to have.

Look, just mention the dance in class and that you're still going solo... for now."

"Like that would work."

"Come on, just try it."

"Fine, but, if it doesn't work, I'm blaming you."

"Fine by me."

In chemistry class...

"And I expect you all to be very careful. We're dealing with dangerous chemicals." Madame Dault, the chemistry teacher, said.

"So, what am I suppose to do?" Jack asked.

"Well, following the protocol would probably be a good idea." Sam joked.

"I knew that. I just don't know which chemical to start with."

"We should start with the acid." Sam said. Jack gave her a blank look. "That one." She said and pointed to the right chemical.

"So, are you going to the dance this Friday?" Sam said as she took the temperature of the liquid.

Oh yeah, that was subtle,' she thought.

"Uh, yeah. You?"

"Janet pulled me into it. I don't why. She'll probably find a date by then and I'll end up alone." Again, not so subtle,' she thought.

"Oh!"

"We need to add the second acid now."

"Huh? Oh, right." Jack said grabbing the base instead of the acid.

"You know I'm probably going to end up going alone too, so..." Jack started but at that moment

the solution started to make bubbles and began giving off a terrible odor. "Oh crap."

"What's going on here?!" The teacher asked angrily.

"Um, we were just... and then..." Jack tried to explain.

"I specifically told you to be careful! Both of you, to the principal's office, now."

"Yes Ma'am." Jack said, heading out of the classroom with Sam in tow.

"Jack, what did you do now?" Principal Hammond said as he saw Jack come into his office. "And

Miss Carter. I'm surprised to see you here."

"There was a small accident in class." Jack explained.

"Could you elaborate a little?"

"A chemistry error."

"I see. I must say, this isn't like you. Either of you."

"It was my fault really. I wasn't paying attention. Sam was taking the temperature of the first

substance and..."

"Well then, you were paying attention. Just not to the right thing." Hammond said, making the

two students blush. "No doubt your teacher expects you to be punished. After school, you will

scrub the graffiti off the school's walls."

"Just me, right?" Jack said.

"It's okay Jack, I should have told you which one to take." Sam said.

"No, it's my fault. I should have asked you which one was which."

"You wouldn't have needed to if I..."

"Ahem." Hammond cleared his throat to remind them of his presence. "You will both be there."

"Yes sir." They both answered.

"Good. You can go back to class now."

Once the two students left, Principal Hammond went into the teacher's lounge.

"Listen up! The pools are now open. Odds of Jack asking Sam out have just gone up. Don't

forget about the bets on the new kid either." Hammond said.

hihihi Im evil and I love it :P please review :D
