Stacey's POV (Stacey is pretending to be her sister)
By the time I reached my locker to collect my books, I heard the bell ringing; letting me know that the lunch break was over and part of me was relieved while the other part was anxious about finding the lab partner without making any mistake.
I waited near the chemistry lab door trying to kill some time until the seats were taken. My eyes were searching through the lab tables to spot a girl who was with an empty lab stool beside her. But my luck was tripping me over and over again. There were two girls without partners in the same table. 'Seriously! Why am I so unlucky today?' I wanted to groan but I had enough trouble by shouting out loud so, I concealed it inside me.
I sensed someone watching in my direction so I tilted my head to find who it was. I was very delighted to see the girl who had silky golden long hair which was almost covering her face was waving and smiling at me and I was very grateful about rescuing me from my deepest horror. I made my way towards her and sat beside her on the spare stool. But her smile slowly turned into a confused expression and it was all written on her face. And it didn't take much time to learn what was wrong.
"Can you move to your stool please?" I heard a cold voice from my behind and as I was turning I could see a figure towering over our lab table. I felt blood rushing to my face and burning with embarrassment. I took a quick look at the owner of the voice and slowly stood from the stool trying to cover my blushed face holding the chemistry book against it. 'Why did it had to be him again!!!' I groaned in my mind while moving aside to the other empty stool muttering sorry.
As I place my book down, the girl beside me raised her head and glanced through her rectangular spectacles closing her note book which she was reading. "I thought you were absent again" she said casually while I was reading the name on her note book; Amelia Walker. She didn't seem to notice what happened earlier; right under her nose. But I returned her smile.
"Gosh Dane! Don't tell me you were sleeping again" I heard the blond girl asking from him. "You know I can't do anything about it. Anyway someone was loud enough to wake me up and I managed to sneak in before it was started okay?" he smirked and I tried to ignore his last comment.
"Today we are going to learn about how to identify the ketones and aldehydes from other organic compounds" Mr. Robertson went on while I was trying to adjust my lab stool and I managed to take a sneak peek at the different types of solutions in the test tubes.
"Alright! Now come and collect your prepared Brady's reagent and see what happens when it react with the given solutions." And Amelia went to collect ours and I kept reading the labels. I heard the footsteps which were returning to our table and I stood up holding one of the test tubes. And while she was adding some to the test tube, she spilled some on my skirt which made a huge reddish orange stain on the front.
"Oh no! I didn't mean to" she started to apologize. "I know. It will probably go away when I wash it" I assured her and I noticed that the blond girl looking at me.
"By the way, I have heard that acetone is used to remove stains" Dane said and without any prior notice he spilled a colorless liquid from one of the test tubes on my skirt where the orange stain was. I saw Amelia opening her mouth to say something but I couldn't hear her uttering anything but she just hung open her mouth and gasped. And my eyes dart to the stain which was no longer orange but red.
'Did he do that on purpose?' my mind was questioning me and I gave him a death glare.
"It's not acetone " I heard the other girl murmuring and I saw the label of the test tube which he was holding. It said 'Methoxy benzaldehyde'
"Holy... were there two colorless things? " I heard he asking and took the other one from the test tube rack. "Enough!" I screamed before he pours the other one too. Before he finds fun with his newly found lab rat. And I heard Amelia screaming "DON'T IT REACTS!!!" at the same time.
Our little commotion had stole the attention of the whole lab and now Mr. Robertson is making his way to our table. 'This day would not be more horrible right?' I asked myself while he was examining with his razor sharp eyes.
"Looks like Mr. Winter and Miss. Harmon had some fun with their lab partners " he said narrowing his eyes looking at us like he just caught some culprits.
"It was an accident" I uttered.
"If you say so" he said with an evil smirk.
"That's what actually happened" I said in undertone but he stared at me for a moment and said "You four will be cleaning the lab for next four weeks. " And I learned that there was no point of arguing unless I want to extend the punishment.
"And now, you can see what happens when an aromatic compound reacts with Brady" he added pointing the huge stain making me wishing to evaporate.
I was so relieved to hear the bell ringing and I rushed to the washroom trying to hide the huge red stain on my skirt front.
