The rest of the class was already starting their experiments. Jana adjusted her glasses over her face and watched her lab mate watch her. “Are you going to suit up?” she asked. “Oh, yeah,” Chris responded. He sat up and put on his goggles.

“Did you read at all for today’s experiment?” she asked. Her eyes were fascinating even from behind the suction-cup eyewear that trapped them. He felt like she was boring holes into his insides, which wasn’t really a bad thing when he thought about it. Waves of hair brushed up against the plastic band of her goggles. He remembered it being much longer the year before, when he sat behind her in homeroom and fantasized about playing in it. Rumors whispered at lockers and in the cafeteria said that she cut it after some guys jumped her walking home from school.
