Chapter 9
I woke up at seven the next morning. I didn't have classes until ten. Pogue and my brother were downstairs waiting on me when I walked into the kitchen.
"Morning guys." I walked up to them and kissed both of them on the cheek.
"Morning sis." Caleb said.
"Morning Ab's." Came Pogue's.
"So what are you guys doing up this early?" I asked.
"Pogue's going to class with you." Caleb said simply. I knew he was going to send someone with me. I was hoping for Ty or Reid.
"Why not-"
"I know what your going to say. No Reid, cause he would just get you into trouble. No Ty because then you two would get so caught up in your little study group and wouldn't pay attention to anything. And he doesn't ascend until next month."
Ty was the youngest of the group. Him and I are the same age. I'm just a month older.
"Fine. Let's go biker boy." I grabbed my things and headed to my car with Pogue following.
"Hey I brought the bike down. You want to take it?"
"Yeah! You know I do." I was excited. It had been a while since I had rode on Pogue's bike. I loved it. I climbed on behind him and he took off. Five minutes later we pulled into the school's parking lot.
"So what classes do we have today?"
"Calculus II, Physics of Sound, Chemistry III, chem lab, and Biochemistry."
"Wow Abby. I knew you were smart, but I didn't know you were that smart."
"Thanks Pogue." I said sarcastically. "Come on let's get to class."
My first three classes went by pretty fast. None of the teachers recognize the extra student which was Pogue. He sat thru each class bored out of his mind. I could tell. My fourth class was Chem. lab. He seemed more excited about this class.
Pogue was asking so many questions the teaching assistant came back to check on us. I could tell he didn't recognize Pogue.
"Hello." The TA said.
"Hi. This is Pogue Parry. He's auditing the class."
"Oh. Very well then, just follow along." Pogue nodded. Once the TA was a distance away Pogue started with the questions again.
"So does any of this stuff blow up?"
"Well….um….yeah if you do it wrong I guess."
"I was thinking practical applications. Bombs. Things like that." Pogue was leaning in really close and I could smell him, and he smelled so good.
I started laughing. "That sounds something like what Reid would say. If Cay heard you, you'd be in some trouble Mr. Parry."
"I like trouble every now and then." He said. We were both really close and staring at each other. We were so caught up in each other that neither one of us heard the footsteps. All of a sudden there was a searing, burning sensation on the right side of my back. I dropped the beaker that I was holding and screamed. God the pain was horrible. Pogue spun around and grabbed a girl by her jacket.
I was taking gasping breathes when the Ta came rushing over. He then noticed what had happened. "Oh my gosh!" He grabbed my bottle of water I had been drinking and dumped it on my back. He then ran over to the cabinet and grabbed a box of baking soda. He dumped it on my back and I could here it sizzle and almost passed out.
"You call an ambulance!" The TA shouted to some student. I had my hands planted on the lab table and was slightly hunched over. The TA cut my shirt up the back including my bra. I caught the shirt from falling. A little warning would have been great. I looked up and saw Pogue still holding Gina, Monica's friend.
"It was an accident. I swear. I tripped. I didn't mean to…."
"Were not working with H2SO4 today." The TA said. "You have no reason to be walking around with it. Clair? Clair how bad is the pain?"
"I- It's okay. I'm okay." Truthfully I felt light headed and sick. A little embarrassed because I was half naked in front of my class and ex boyfriend. "Can I put something on?"
"No. You cant let anything touch that. The burn's thru several layers of skin. It will need treatment and antibiotics. You just sit still."
I was starting to feel really dizzy. "Sir?" The TA was lecturing Gina. Telling her she had to talk to the campus police. "Sir, I-" I passed out before I could finish.
