"So Josh, how is that college research coming?" Mr. Ziglback asked, scratching his mustache.

Josh leaned back in his chair, feet crossed on the desk. "Well, uh--"

Suddenly the door swung open, slamming on the wall beside it.

"Mr. Ziglback," The girl grinned with a crazed look in her eye. "I'm changing my pathway. I will no longer Chemistry, no matter what you say."

"What on Earth? Mary?" Mr. Ziglback stared back at the doorway. "What are you, where have you—"

The smiling teenager stroud into the office and marched right up to Joshua, who sat petrified in his seat, eyes bulging out of his sockets.

Oh crap.

He closed his eyes, bracing himself to be yelled by the psychotic girl.

This girl has never contained herself.

She gonna slap me again?

"Oh, and by the way," She whispered into his ear, smirking. "Thanks for the encouragement, love, and support."
