Chapter 13- Science, chemicals...Action?

I laughed.
"Did you see his face? You really upset him"
Solus tried to smile casually, but couldn't help but grin.
"He was bothering me."
"Well you sure as hell didn't seem bothered." I responded.
"He called me angel boy, and kept talking." He said simply.
"You don't like being called angel boy?"
"Nope. Way too many people call me that, and they always mean it as a bad thing."
"Makes sense."
We sat in silence. Solus seemed so calm, and so prepared. It made me feel emotional and inferior in general. It annoyed me a bit. But wait, isn't that what his aura does to people? It makes them more emotional and overthink things. Just look at Henry and Jonathan. They must feel the same way.
I quickly shoved these thoughts from my mind. Solus is my friend. He doesn't choose what his aura does. It just happens.
The bell rang, and we went to our next class. It was science. We basically mixed chemicals until something happened. At least, in my case. I suck at science.
Solus's eyes lit up at the sight of all those chemicals. I smiled.
We sat down next to each other as the teacher went to the front of the class. She started teaching us, telling us the directions and the results that should happen. I mostly left it to Solus, passing him the chemicals he needs.
He slowly poured one chemical into a test tube. I grabbed the next chemical, looking at the teacher as I handed it to Solus. Except instead of going into his hand, it hit his elbow while he was pouring. Chemicals went everywhere, mixing and changing colours. Then it started bubbling dangerously.
A random kid yelled, "Look out! chemi-bomb!"
Everyone dove down or away to avoid it, but me being the confused idiot I was stayed put. I got a blast of chemicals to the face. I cried out in pain and held my eyes, stumbling around blind. I heard a crash as more test tubes fell over. Then I felt two hands go on my shoulders and lead me away. I heard some people cough from the new chemicals in the air, and the cough behind me sounded familiar.
Did I mention I sucked at science?
