It was a week after the incedent and Gerard had decided to go to school.

"Gerard, it's the first day back. Are you sure you're up to everything?" I asked, watching him struggle with his tie.

"I'll be fine Scar. Just as long as I have you, I'm up to anything." He smiled at me through the mirror.

I sighed heavily as he was still struggling, so I got up from the bed and told him to face me.

I tied his tie and smirked at my handy work, whereas Gerard just looked at me in amazement.

"How'd you do that?" He asked.

"I wear ties a lot." I raised an eyebrow, gesturing to the tie around my neck.

He scoffed.

"So do I, but c'mon."

"Just takes practice, Mr Way." I replied.

We went downstairs and had some coffee.

"Do you want anything to eat before we leave? We have time." Gerard asked.

I shook my head. "I'm fine."

Gerard sighed, but nodded.

I was in Science with Mr Iero when I got a text.

Gerard: Surprise, surprise. Wait for it ;) xxx

I chuckled and shook it off, putting my phone back in my pocket.

"I hope whatever you're laughing at on your phone is more interesting than Chemistry, Miss Simms." Mr Iero raised an eyebrow.

"Actually yes. It is." I shrugged.

"Well then. Care to share it?" He asked, putting his bodyweight onto one leg and folding his arms across his chest.

"Well, Mr Iero." I started, smirking. "My amazing boyfriend has a surprise for me at some point today and I'm sat here wondering what it could possibly be." 

"I'm not sure that's more interesting Scarlett. Now, unless you know how to make Elephant's toothpaste, I suggest you shut up and pay attention." Mr Iero smirked back at me.

I shrugged and got up, taking my lab coat from the back of the chair and the googles from the table.

I walked to the front of the classroom and stood next to Mr Iero, putting everything on.

"Excuse me, please." I smiled, oh-so-sweetly.

He chuckled and stood out of the way, clearly refusing to believe that I could do it.

"Just don't blow up my classroom." He said, making the room of students laugh.

I smirked and put on some gloves.

I then took a vial of water and put the Potassium Iodide into it, letting it dissolve. In the meantime, I poured 80ml of Hydrogen Peroxide into a seperate cylinder. After, I added 40ml of Dawn Detergent into the HP mix and swirled it around. Then, I added a couple of drops of blue food coloring for effect before pouring the the Potassium Iodide in quickly and standing back.

The reaction foamed up enormously. Foam dripping out and spilling all over the desk.

Mr Iero stood back quickly, his mouth ajar.

"How did you... But..." He stuttered.

The class was in awe of my work.

My smug face was something to be proud of, as well as my work.

Whilst the class was gazing upon the ever-growing foam pile, I wrote down my methods on the whiteboard.

Mr Iero walked over to me and held out his hand for the pen.

I smirked and gave it to him.

"What else can you do?" He asked, his tone low.

"Plenty. I can do everything you've taught the class i've been sat in so far and more." I shrugged.

"I'll talk to the head of department and get you moved up and level if you would like." He sighed.

"Will I still have you as my teacher?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No. You'll have another." Mr Iero replied.

I sighed. "Then I'm fine where I am. I actually like you... Most of the time." I smirked.

He chuckled and tapped my arm with the whiteboard pen.

"Then you can help me with experiments. It can count as extra credit. In the mean time, Mr Way would like to see you in the art studio after class." He said.

I tried to hold in the smile as I nodded.

"Ok."

~~~~

"Gerard?" I called as I entered the art room.

The lights were out and it looked as though the cleaners had already been.

"In my office." He replied.

I smirked and walked through the maze of tables and passed his desk.

There he was, sat at his desk with his legs up, looking sexy as fuck.

"Good afternoon, Miss Simms." He smirked.

"Good afternoon, Mr Way. You wanted to see me?" I asked, innocently, slipping my bag off my shoulders and placing it by the door.

"Yes. Many things really. For starters, I was texting Mr Iero during your science lessons. You seem to have made an excellent impression on him. You never told me you were a Chemistry genius." He chuckled.

I smiled and sat on the desk my his feet and shrugged.

"I only tell you what I know. And I would hardly say that knowing how to make Elephant's toothpaste was genius-worthy." I laughed. "And he had a go at me for your text during his class. But he was texting you? Little fucking hypocritical..."

"We're teachers Scarlett. We can do what we want. And what about the other things he said you could do? Apparently you could already do what he'd taught the rest of the class since you've been at Belleville."

"Well that's just fuckin' rude." I sighed. "I have hobbies. I buy shit off the internet and research the stuff I can do with it."

"Good job. I can see he's very proud of you." He finished the sentence just as a text came through on his phone, so he checked it. "In fact, he wants to see you again after we're done here."

"And what would we be doing here?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.

Gerard put his phone away and placed his hand on my upper thigh, sighing.

"Well, if he wants to see you, I'm not sure there's a whole lot we can do right now."

"You could come with me to his class if you want. See just how much of a genius I am." I winked.

He chuckled. "Ok."

We left the classroom and Gerard locked the door before we made our way back to Mr Iero's lab.

He was sat at his desk doing some marking.

"Ah Scarlett. And Mr Way. What a surprise." He chuckled, getting up from his seat.

"You wanted to see me, Mr Iero?" I asked.

"Yes. I want you to show me what else you can do, experiment-wise."

I could help but notice him glance up at Gerard when he said that.

Odd...

"Sure. Um..." I thought about what experiments I could do to impress them both. "Do you have any sugar and concentrated Sulphuric acid?"

He smirked a chuckle and nodded.

"Good choice." He said, going to the room behind him to get the things I'd need as he'd obviously figured it out.

I looked to Gerard, who just looked confused.

"I'm going to dehydrate sugar using Sulphuric acid." I explained.

"I have no idea what any of that means, but cool." He shrugged, making me laugh.

Mr Iero came back out with a fume hood and a cart loaded with various acids and alkalis, a beaker of sugar, pipets and test tubes.

I took my lab coat from my bag, along with my goggles and gloves.

Mr Iero gave Gerard the same equipment and I waited for them to put them on before starting the experiment.

I filled a wide test tube with sugar, about two thirds full, then filled a pipet with water, dribbling a little onto the sugar.

I then picked up the bottle of Sulphuric acid after placing the beaker in the fume hood and stirred a little into the sugar using a glass rod.

Gradually it started going black, and when I felt it was right, I continued stirring, but lifted the rod, taking the black sugar with it.

Smoke started to pour from the mixture, giving the smell of slightly burnt Sulphuric acid and raisins.

The sugar solidified a little as I pulled it up, making it look almost stick-ish.

I held it where it was a smirked at the result.

"And there we have, dehydrated sugar." I said.

"Very cool. Stinks though." Gerard chuckled, waving his hand in front of his face.

I laughed and patted his shoulder, mocking him almost.

"Very good work, Scarlett." Mr Iero complimented.

"Thank you, sir." I nodded.

"Are you sure you want to stay where you are?" He asked.

I nodded. "As I said. I like you. You're fun. Even though I know this stuff already, you make it interesting all over again."

He chuckled. "Well thank you."

As I cleaned up, he pulled Gerard to one side and talked to him for a little.

When I was done cleaning, Mr Iero asked me to join them.

"Now. I want to ask, and don't get the wrong impression, even though I may be, but is there something going on between you two that shouldn't be? Because that's how your brother was making it out to me earlier." He asked, mainly to Gerard.

Fucking hell Mikey...

A/N: I apologise for giving you guys a science class... I like detail... All I have to say about this chapter...

Oh and I am currently boiling myself alive in a Pikachu onsie... I'd take the hood down but it looks too cute...

Gee.
