Chapter 3

Poppyfrost walked into class scowling. She hated chemistry class. If chemistry class were a real person, she would try to beat it up. But unfortunately, it was not kickable or punch able. As she walked in, the chemistry teacher, Graystripe, was surrounded by a group of teens, surrounding him like a swarm of bees. I wonder what Graystripe could have that catches their attention. She thought, and walked into the swarm, which enveloped her. When she got to the center of the teens, she approached Graystripe, relieved that she had made it.

"Oh hello Poppyfrost, you will be sitting over there," Greystripe said loudly, since nobody could hear him speak. Oh, so this is what it's all about! Poppyfrost thought ruefully. Seating assignments. Graystripe pointed at where he was talking about.

Poppyfrost looked at where he was pointing and for the first time in science class, she beamed. The person sitting next to her was Briarlight! As she walked over, Briarlight pumped her fist in the air and smiled. She started to stand up to greet Poppyfrost but she lost her balance and fell, because she couldn't put on too much pressure on her leg without her crutches. As she tumbled out of her seat, Poppyfrost pushed through the crowd of teens, trying to get to her disabled friend. Suddenly, a hand shot out of nowhere and helped Briarlight get up. When she finally got out of the crowd, she sat down in her seat and stared at Briarlight shocked.

"Are you okay?!" she nearly screamed.

"Well, you saw me, somebody helped me up. I'm fine; don't worry about me." Briarlight shrugged. Her eyes were lit up like she saw an angel; shocked but happy at the same time.

"Who helped you?" Poppyfrost inquired.

"Oh, Jayfeather." Briarlight sighed, dreamily.

"What? That moody guy?! Whoa, did he hurt you?!"

"I'm fine," Briarlight, insisted, "besides, he's a great guy. I don't see why all you other people think of him like some guy with anger issues. He's not. He has no issues at all."

Poppyfrost gave up. She couldn't see what Briarlight saw in him. Suddenly, the bell rang and the class fell silent.

"Okay class. I've seen that you have met your lab partners; I would now like you to meet you lab table. The lab table will consist of four people. Two boys and two girls; the set of lab partners next to you will be your two other members beside yourself. After you meet them we will do a teamwork activity for the rest of the period" Graystripe announced gleefully.

Poppyfrost glanced curiously at the set next to them. Oh brother, she thought sadly. She was staring at Jayfeather and Foxleap! She wanted to smash their faces into a wall. They started to walk over to her table. She peered at Briarlight, whose eyes were once again gleaming. Poppyfrost rolled her eyes. When the four teens got settled, there was utter silence at their table. Then Briarlight asked Jayfeather about a song called Wake Me Up When September Ends. Jayfeather answered casually, and they began chatting. Poppyfrost was beginning to become bored when Foxleap said,

"Hey Poppy. What's up flower?" Poppyfrost was disgusted. She was about to give him a stinging retort when Graystripe suddenly gave out paper to write on for the activity that was coming up. He also gave the group 6 cups and four rubber bands attached to one.

"Your objective is to use these rubber bands and make the cups into a pyramid. This should be challenging but also fun. Make sure to do this correctly because the first group that does this gets 10 extra points that are put into your final grade!"

The class immeadiatly sat straighter in their seats when they heard "10 extra points". They began to murmur quietly when Graystripe yowled, "Begin!"

Poppyfrost's group started to use the rubber bands when Minnowtail's group yelled, "Finished!" Poppyfrost's group sighed in defeat and slouched in the chairs.
