eight: crystalisation but make it deadly

"Einstien once said "Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. And im not sure about the universe. And im not sure about the universe." I have encountered infinite stupidity." Mr. Harris said as he made his way around the class and patted Stiles on the shoulder.

"To combat the plague of ignorance in my class, you are going to combine efforts in a round of group experiments. Let's see if two heads are indeed better than one or in Mr. Stilinski's case less than one."

"Erica, you'll take the first station, you'll start with..." Mr. Harris trailed off when immediately most of the boys in the class raised their hands, all wanting to be Erica's partner.

Rowan watched them all with a hidden smirk, oh if they only knew.

"I didn't ask for volunteers, put your hormonal little hands down. Start with Mr. McCall."

Scott exchanged glances with the group as Mr. Harris paired off everyone one by one.

"Mr. Lahey go join Ms. McCall."

Of course.

Rowan focused on measuring the chemicals as Issac slid onto the seat beside her.

"What is with us and always ending up in chemistry labs together?" Issac smirked as he fiddled with a beaker of liquid.

"Don't touch that." Rowan slapped his hand away as she continued with the experiment.

"You've been looking pretty out of it ever since that night with the Kanima. You doing alright Red?" Issac raised a brow and Rowan scoffed.

"It might be because you and Erica are here to murder my friend but hey, it might just be the weather!' Rowan smiled sarcastically.

"Well we aren't exactly killing her, Derek will do that.' Issac sang as he twirled his pencil. Rowan groaned, she snatched the thing out of his hand and snapped it in two.

"Someones feisty.

"This could kill her, or at least paralyze her. Either way, you need to give us more time to prove it isn't her Issac." Rowan scowled. Deep down Issac knew what they were doing was wrong but what choice did he have?

Rowan went back to the experiment as Issac placed his hands behind his head.

"Oh, how are things with you and Erica by the way.'

Rowan nearly dropped the beaker.

"What-"

"I live with her, I notice her sneaking off at odd hours and coming home with your scent all over her." Issac leaned towards her and Rowan held her breath. Issac's smirk just grew wider as got so close Rowan could feel his breath on her face.

"And can I just say that scent is devourable," he growled as he used his finger to trail up her arm.

Rowan watched him for a second before she snapped out of it and grabbed his hand and twisted it.

Issac winced as she dug her nails into his skin and twisted it further.

"If you tell anyone-"

"You may see me as a bad guy but I assure you even I don't out people like that Red," Issac said, and if Rowan didn't know better he sounded offended and slightly disappointed.

As if he thought she would see the better in him.

She let him go and the two of them stared at each other as Issac placed his hand on her shoulder, Rowan tensed and tried to pull away but Issac wouldn't let go.

"I promise your secret is safe with me," Issac whispered sincerely, and even before Rowan could blink Mr. Harris rang the bell and Issac was gone.

And in his place sat Erica.
