Episode Three – C is for Chemistry.
==================================================

“Ok people. Welcome to Advanced Chemistry. The fact that you’re here makes me believe that all of you the best chemistry students in your year. Try not to convince me otherwise.

Hayley takes a look at Caroline who is staring out the window.

“That idiot is in here. I don’t need any further convincing.”

“Stateman, quiet down. President Fuller organise the class into name order and pair up.”

“Yes Miss Puffet,” Sophie said as she immediately stood to do what was asked of her.

In the background however, snickers could clearly be heard.

“Is something funny Stevens?,” the teacher asked as her brow itched irritably.

“No Miss Buffet,” Caroline replied.

“Puffet!,” the teacher corrected as several more students joined in the snickering.

When she got to the letter ‘S’ Sophie sweat dropped and shot Hayley an apologetic look.

“You have to stay in this class Sophie, I’d advise you to make the right decision,” the blonde said in a warning tone as she watched Sophie try to inform her that she’d been paired up with Caroline.

The redhead smirked at her discomfort.

“Teacher’s orders Stateman,” Caroline said. “Nothing she can do. Isn’t that right President Fuller?”

“Ugh fine whatever just ... don’t mess anything up.”

“No problem,” Caroline easily agreed.

Moments later...

“Acid! There’s acid on my skin!,” Hayley yelped as she tried to rub it off.

“Don’t rub at it!,” Sophie yelled out as she and Melanie scrambled up off their seats.

Sophie went straight to Hayley’s side to prevent the girl from damaging her skin further while Melanie rushed to the chemicals. After looking through several bottles and finding the one she was looking for, she quickly ran to Hayley and sprayed a small amount on her skin.

Finding the pain stop after just a moment, Hayley looked at Megan in startled surprise.

“What did you just do?,” she asked the girl.

“Sprayed a little something to neutralise the acid.”

“How’d you know how to do that?,” Sophie wondered aloud.

“...It’s not the first time its happened,” Melanie admitted as all looks turned to Caroline.

Lucky for the redhead, another student decided to wander into the classroom right at that moment.

“Hello Chem class,” Natalie said before confidently sauntering into the classroom.

“Nat, I didn’t know you were taking chem,” Caroline said as if nothing odd had happened.

“Well I wasn’t. And then Horton kicked me out of physics for using that catapult I built out of bbq sticks to fling scrunched up bits of paper at him. It was awesome.”

“It’s been pretty busy here too,” Melanie said.

“Your idiot friend tried to burn me,” Hayley added as Natalie automatically turned her attention to Caroline.

“Caro that’s harsh. It isn’t proven that she’s a witch.”

The teacher rolled her eyes at her student’s antics.

“Natalie sit,” she said before beginning to write notes on the board.

“Woof?,” Natalie joked as she took a seat.

“Miss Fuller is everyone partnered up?,” the teacher inquired.

“Almost,” Sophie replied. “I... forgot about me.”

Hayley immediately raised her hand to offer herself as a partner.

“Excellent. You can keep a close eye on Miss Kruger,” Miss Puffet said as she ignored the blonde. “Two eyes. We don’t want any one else being burned.”

“In my defence Miss Puffet, that other time was Caroline’s fault too,” Natalie replied causing Hayley to blanch.

“Switch switch!,” Hayley said as she tried to pawn off her partner.

“You’re stuck with her Miss Stateman,” Miss Puffet said before returning to the board.

“Stuck with me,” Caroline repeated unnecessarily as she pointed to herself and winked.
