Chemistry lab smelled like textbooks and battery acid.

Back in September, the odor made me light-headed, but over the past few months I’d grown used to it. And now that the weather had grown colder, I barely noticed the sharp smell at all.

The thought of my friends running recon on Andrew scared the daylights out of me. To be fair, I hadn’t done a whole lot of recon on Andrew since this infatuation began. There was still so much I didn’t know about him. And, since my circle of friends was small, it was hard to get any information on what he liked, what he didn’t like, and if he was even single.

I was still mid-freak out when Ollie showed up to class—five minutes late, of course. He slid into the chair next to me in his typical, too casual way and dropped his bookbag haphazardly at his feet. He had none of the required material. No pencils or pens. No textbook or notebook. There was nothing about him that said studious. Heck, nothing about him even said student.

“You okay, Princess? You look like someone just peed in your favorite heels.”

I narrowed my eyes at him. “I’m sorry, what finishing school did you say you graduated from?”

He smirked. “Finishing school is for girls,” he said smugly. “Shouldn’t you know stuff like that, Princess?”

“Would you stop calling me Princess?”

“What else would I call you?”

“Uh, how about my name?”

He pretended to think about it, then shrugged. “Nah, I like Princess better.”

My teeth clenched. “Has anyone ever told you how irritating you are?”

“Only you, Princess.”

I growled, and his grin widened. I wanted to punch him in his perfectly white teeth, but that would’ve landed me in detention and, probably, on punishment at home when my parents found out.

I couldn’t deal with this right now. My life was way too messy to give anything else attention. Ollie could find someone else to pester. I was done. Operation Freeze Out was in full effect starting right now.

I shifted in my seat and faced the front of the classroom where Mr. Khan, my chemistry lab instructor, was holding a thin textbook in one hand and pointing to several equations on the board with the other.

He’d just started talking about something called the iodine clock when the sound of soft snoring came from my right.

I glanced over at the source of the annoying sound and found Ollie’s head hung forward, and his eyes shut.

Figures. It wasn’t the first time Ollie fell asleep in class. It was pretty much a daily occurrence.

He leaned too far forward, caught himself, straightened, and muttered something incoherent. His full lips squeezed into an O shape, then pushed out as if he were pronouncing something with a J sound.

Orange juice? Was he dreaming about orange juice?

Someone threw a ball of paper my way, and it struck Ollie between the shoulder blades. His head popped up, glared at the rest of the class, then promptly fell back to sleep.

I sighed. This was why my chemistry grades were dragging.
