3 - Part C:

Seventh period: Atomic Synthesis

Instructor: Maybel Falls

Location: R&D, A.S. Lab 1

After we change back to our regular uniform, we went towards the A.S. lab.

As we entered, the A.S. lab looks just like a chemistry lab except for the big cauldron in the middle of the room and a huge blue crystal behind the teachers desk instead of a touch screen blackboard.

My classmates went to their designated seats, as for me I decided to wait for the teacher to arrive. What's up with the cauldron anyway?

Do we have lessons in making potions and chanting gibberish spells?

I try looking around the room to see if there are broom sticks lying around somewhere or black cats wearing pointed hats and sadly there's none.

Oh well let's check this huge crystal out.

I touch the blue crystal and found out that this thing is as cold as ice. What's this thing anyway frozen water?

"That's a crystallize oxygen Linel."

I turn my back to see who answered my inner thoughts and it was professor Maybel.

Professor Maybel has long curly blond hair and blue eyes.

She's wearing a green dress that really looks good on her.

If uncle Huck was here, he probably be drooling by now.

Professor Maybel greets me cheerfully.

"Hi there!"

"Hi..."

"I'm Maybel Falls your atomic synthesis instructor. Your uncle told me a lot of wonderful things about you. He even showed me a video when you did a magnetic levitation while combining it with nitro oxide to move like a train inside the tunnel. I was so fasinated by it, I told your uncle to pass me the video so I could watch it all over again."

I'm getting a strange feeling like she's the same as the people I have met so far in this school.

I better change the subject before something bad happens.

"That's great and all so where will I sit?"

"We can decide on that later, first let's do some experiments."

Looks it didn't work.

She puts the strangely huge shoulder bag on top of her desk and takes out a metallic helmet with lots of wires sticking out.

I ask her what that thing is.

"What's that a helmet?"

She answers me cheerfully.

"No this is not a helmet. This is a device called the compatibility selector 5.0. It is a device use to find which type of atomic synthesis your most compatible with by reading your brain waves."

Why is it 5.0? I better ask about that.

"What happen to the other versions?"

Her face darkens a bit.

"Don't mind the minor details."

Then she reverted back to her cheerful self.

"Now put this on!"

I should ask for some safety insurance first.

"What will happen to me once I do?"

She answers me cheerfully again.

"Like I said..."

Then her face darkens again.

"Don't mind the minor details."

After that she put's on a face like a mother who was scolding her child for stealing a cookie.

"Now hurry up and put this on young man! We don't have all day you know!"

Why am I being scolded?

She shoves the helmet into my hands giving me no choice but to put it on. While I was about to wear the helmet, Aeris interferes.

"Um professor Maybel aren't we suppose to do an experiment today?"

Looks like it caught her interest.

"Did somebody say experiment??"

"Yes professor Maybel. We're suppose to do an experiment by transforming water into three different types of matter."

Looks like she's giving in.

"Experiment?! I love experiments!"

And jack pot!

I should probably thank Aeris later.

I quickly hid the helmet behind professor Maybel's desk and plan on acting dumb once she asks about but eventually she didn't.

"Linel you may take your seat now."

Yeah, as if I know where it is.

"Where exactly?"

She quickly scans the whole room like a heat seeking missile.

Looks like she found it.

"Over there beside Wren!"

I don't think miss grumpy face wants my company at all.

"Can I sit somewhere else?"

Looks like I don't have any other choice.

"Everyone has a designated lab partner except for you and Wren."

Professor Maybel put's on the motherly scolding face again.

"Now hurry up and go to your seat young man! We don't have all day you know!"

And why am I being scolded again?

I reluctantly go towards my seat. If only Wren is isn't so so grumpy she'll be totally my type.

After I took my seat, everyone takes out three beakers at the bottom drawer of our desk and were lined up horizontally.

After that, professor Maybel fills the beakers all up at the same time with water using atomic synthesis.

Then she dispatches some repairbots who were carrying a camera.

She tells us to ignore them.

"Don't mind these little things, just focus on the experiment."

Having a repairbot floating beside me with a camera is really quite distracting.

I try my best to ignore it and focus on our experiment.

Since I don't wanna be a burden I ask Wren what I should do.

"What can I do to help?"

"Just shut up and watch weirdo! You'll only get in the way!"

And she harshly refuses me.

She's getting on my nerves.

While I was thinking of what to call her, Wren was already done with the first experiment which is turning water into solid by freezing it with liquid nitrogen.

Wren + Grumpy = X

While I was figuring out how to combine those two words, Wren was already done with the second experiment which is turning water into gas by evaporating it with heat.

Wren + Grumpy = I know!

I blurted out her new name.

"Wrenpy..."

She got startled on what I said and the water inside the third beaker exploded. The water was spilled on the table.

Wren got mad.

"What did you say weirdo?!"

I mockingly reapeat what I said.

"Uh Wrenpy?"

Looks like she's about to explode.

"Who gave you permission to call me that weirdo?!"

Now time for the finishing blow.

"And who gave you permission to call me weirdo?"

Yup now she's furious.

"What did you just say to me weirdo?!"

I decided to ignore her and finish where she left of. I'm guessing for the third one is to turn water into plasma but first I filled the beaker up again by combining one hydrogen atom and two oxygen atoms making an H2O molecule.

After that I slightly separate the molecules to form water.

"Hey weirdo! I'm talking to you!"

After I filled the beaker up with water, I separated the molecules further away from each other.

"Hey stop ignoring me!"

After I separated the molecules, I charge them up with positive and negative electric charge.

"Weirdo!"

Thus, I made an aurora.

Now to shut her up.

"Hey Wrenpy I'm done!"

She quickly looks at the beaker filled with aurora and turns back at me.

She tries to insult me.

"You- you weirdo!"

That was actually kinda cute. Now time to use the newly found weapon again.

"Yeah whatever Wrenpy."

She quickly turns away with her usual...

Looks like I won.

Serves you right!

Eventually, the bell rings, and it's time for our last period, everyone prepares to leave the room.

When I was about to leave, professor Maybel stops me.

"Linel can I talk to you for a minute?"

Don't tell me she wants to continue on with the experiment.

I better ask what she wants.

"Yeah?"

She waited for everyone else to leave.

After that she suddenly becomes all flustered and starts fidgeting with her fingers.

"Did your uncle talk about me recently?"

Looks like gramps was right on the money.

I wonder why both of them haven't notice each others feelings yet.

Since I don't wanna ruin the fun I decided to give her a vague answer.

"Maybe..."

She starts interrogating me.

"Did he talk about if he was interested in me or If I look good or if he-"

I quickly interrupt her since this might take awhile.

"Maybe..."

"Really?"

She asked me to make sure, so I give her a vague answer again.

"Maybe..."

Looks like she's satisfied and goes into her own little world.

"Hi hi hi..."

I quietly left the room. Alright time to go to the next class which is...

What exactly?
