Science Trouble

.•.•.•.•.

"Now does anyone remember the equation for photosynthesis?" Mr. Brodurn asked our biology class. Now, biology was not a class which appealed to me but at the same time it wasn't boring unlike this semesters substitute teacher, Mr. Brodurn. He was a nice guy and all, but he wasn't enthusiastic about his job, the opposite of teachers such as Mr. Matthews or the theatrical teachers. That meant lessons today were going to be filled with other students talking so loud it gave me a headache, whilst I try to look interested just so I get a good report. When in reality I am talking to the person on my right, which just so happened to be Lucas.

Of course, everyone had already been through this last semester, and no one was paying attention. Most recap lessons Mr. Brodurn just sat on his computer, googling who knows what, and leaves us to talk. But today for some reason he was making an effort, every time I opened my mouth to talk to Lucas about what happened during math class, he would glare at me. I couldn't speak and neither could the rest of the class.

Then I found out why. Mrs. Clements, the vice principal was wondering around the science labs, most likely checking the progress of the classes. That however meant all of the teachers were on full alert of when she stepped into the room because their job was in the line. Our class however, paid no mind to Mrs. Clements, we were all bored out of our minds with photosynthesis and thus didn't respond to Mr. Brodurn's printing o answer the questions. And instead returned to talking to each other, whilst he stood there sweating in his three piece tweed suit.

"So Lucas," I spoke, eventually getting round to talking without being glared at. "How'd it go?"

"Relax Clutterbucket," Lucas muttered, placing his hand on my leg to comfort me. "Riley went home."

"She what?!" I exclaimed, shock evident in my voice. I should have thought that one through though, as I soon realised that the whole class was staring at me, including the vice principal.

"Ms Hart!" Mrs Clements sternly called, she looked at me, one eyebrow raised. "I'll see you in detention after school!"

Another detention was nothing to be ashamed of, but it did mean that I couldn't spend any time with Lucas or straighten things out with Riley. "Mrs Clements, you don't understand. I have plans today." I told her, standing up out of my chair and knocking it over int he process, it had to be today that I got into trouble, why couldn't it have been tomorrow?

"Well I'm sure that whatever plans you have today can wait until tomorrow. End of discussion." She replied, Mr Brodurn nodded his head in agreement. "And don't think I won't remember this."

Well there goes that plan. "Fine," I muttered, crouching down to pick up my chair, before I reseated myself and sighed in annoyance.

"Thank you for your time, Mr Brodurn, I'll be writing up your report this afternoon." Mrs Clements finalised, turning around and scuttled out the door. As soon as the door shut behind her, the class was rolling with laughter, she always made us laugh at her. That was probably down to her overly curled 80's hair or maybe it was the shoulder pads? Either way we all new that Mrs Clements lived in the past and we would take any opportunity to laugh about it, especially with a teacher like Mr Brodurn.

"She what?" I whispered to Lucas once re lighter had died down, there was only five minutes of lesson left and I wasn't going to spend it learning.

"She left," it took him a minute to reply, but he eventually calmed down himself and managed to answer me. "Farkle mentioned something about, 'secrets' to her and she ran off."

If it was secrets that made her run, then there is no way she's come near me again. I had too many secrets to count, too many memories. But this was one secret that I found myself dying to shout to the world. One thing that mattered most to me, one secret I can't hold in. And I knew that she'd new to hear it from me not from anyone else.

"We have to tell her," I mumbled, realisation washing over me as I turned to Lucas. "I have to tell her."

"Okay," he replied, simply, that's who he was he didn't question, even if he didn't know why, he always understood that I needed to do things my own way. "Just give her time."

And yet he still knew exactly what to say, he knew that I would just rush into telling her everything, and he knew it would be too much to handle. And I loved him for that.

Yup, they're heating up. He age gap thing is actually reminding me of Divergent. I think that this is another reason why Laya would be better - the producers should refrain from making a thirteen year old kiss a fifteen year old guy for a show, haha

I know the age gap is just... Wrong for someone so young.

I would just try to make Maya seem as in character as possible. As for your storywriting, it's great. Much better than some nowadays. The flaw idea was really creative, I definitely liked it. Maybe you can make the thoughts in italics, so it is clearer. Continue soon, I followed! I usually do not favorite a story unless it is complete.

I would like to suggest a one shot where, I dunno, Rucas is happy together but then Maya starts going out with "The Rebel" (Girl Meets Friendship) and Lucas starts to get jealous. So basically, Lucas is in love with Maya but cares a lot for Riley all the same.

Definitely using that story idea, should be up soon enough x

Hey! I like the story, but I can't help but notice a few british slang words, and it just seems off as GMW is set in the US. Do continue to write this though! :)

Oh, is there slang? Sorry if there is, can you point out where they are? Thanks x
