The first lesson of the day - science.
You were doing a chemical experiment and of course you had no parter; your only friend, Elsie was in a lower set than you.
You were shy, too shy to ask to join someone's group, but you enjoyed the solitude.

You went to collect your goggles from the shelf near the door, when suddenly it swung open, knocking you into the teachers desk.
No one seemed to notice, when through the door came a tall, thin guy. He nervously looked at you,
"Um... Sorry." He said.
You smiled back, embarrassed, then you got your goggles and went back to your station.

As you moved your books off the desk you saw the guy approaching you.
"Miss Gluver says I should work with you." He bit his lip.
"Hi, I'm Y/N." You replied,
"Luke," his penetrating gaze was locked on you.

Luke put on his goggles, rubber gloves and picked up a rose. He stared into the bucket and paused. The rose was full of life; it's petals deep red and arranged in a perfect pattern.
He dunked it into the liquid nitrogen.
It became cold - dead.
Luke continued to stare as the petals fell off onto the desk. It reminded you of Beauty and the Beast.
You weren't talking about the rose.

You've reached the end of published parts.
