Molecules

It was another day at school, meaning another Biology class. Biology always bored students to tears, considering all the meaningless labs and dreadful experiments. That month, Danny's class happened to be dissecting the frogs from science lab.

On Monday morning, Danny, Sam, and Tucker walked into class five minutes late, half-asleep from the unexpected attack from Skulker the night before. For Biology, Danny and Tucker were lab partners, while Sam was stuck with Dash for the semester.

"Please take your seats, students, you're late," Mr. Lancer muttered half-heartedly from his desk, "A Wrinkle in Time, Mr. Fenton, this is the fifteenth time this month!"

"Sorry, Mr. Lancer," Danny didn't look up from the floor, "Where's Mrs. Red?"

"None of your concern, Mr. Fenton. Please take your seats and don't talk back to a teacher, especially me."

The three students took their seats. Danny and Tucker sat down at their usual desk next to the window, and Sam sat next to Dash at the desk sitting beside them. They obtained their lab books and reached for their goggles and tools, but large microscopes replaced the frogs and supplies they usually used in science class. Tucker raised his hand.

"Yes, Mr. Foley?" Mr. Lancer asked.

"Mr. Lancer, where are the frogs?" Tucker said, regretting his statement immediately.

"Well, since somebody hid the frogs as an extremely hilarious prank, we will be observing and sketching human cheek cells today. If you were here on time, you would have known that. Anyway, first, the three of you need to use Q-tips to rub against the inside of your cheeks and place on the slides, then you will place one drop of blue dye on top of where you placed the cells. There is a more scientific name for the dye, but I'm too busy not having a life to care and look up what it is."

Ignoring Mr. Lancer's comment, the students did what he told them to do. When Danny placed his on the slide, he noticed that the circles he saw through the microscope lens were glowing green.

"So this is what ghost molecules look like!"

Everybody in the classroom stared at him, including Sam and Tucker. Danny, realizing what he had just done, did the only thing he could do in situations like this – he blushed.

Dash spoke up first, "You're crazy, Fenturd."

"I…I…sorry," Danny barely whispered that last word. Not knowing what to say, everybody continued with their labs. Sam mouthed the words, "We. Will. Talk. Later."

Danny looked at Tucker, who had the same shocked look as everyone else. "That was stupid," Danny whispered to him, just loud enough for only the boy next to him to hear.

"Dude, it's over. Besides, they're cells, not molecules."

"Who cares, I just know that these little green circles are what my parents want. It's somewhat lame, actually. Who cares about microbiology?"

"Whatever." With that, the boys continued with the lab, forgetting about the incident until they met Sam after class.
