"I guess," She said.

Toby shrugged and looked at his hands, used to people saying that he wasn't the type to do a lot of things. "I mean, I'm intrigued by something that could possibly explode everywhere." He finally said, looking up at Jil and smiling.

"Explosions are pretty entertaining. It's especially satisfactory when you know you made it happen." Jil said.

//is that me

//oh ok sorry where were we

//ok

"Hmm." Simon said quietly. "I'm not too good at drawing. I'm more of um… a writer?"He nodded.

“That’s cool,” Griffith said. “I am so bad at writing its not even funny.” He smiled.

(here i think)

Toby nodded and played with a pencil in his hands as he blew a few strands of hair out of his face. "So, we're gonna do elephant toothpaste?"

Jil nodded. She tried not to pay attention to the annoying voice in the back of her head, that just wouldn't stop gushing about how cute Toby was.

Jil nodded. She tried not to pay attention to the annoying voice in the back of her head, that just wouldn't stop gushing about how cute Toby was.

"Awesome." Toby said, a boyish grin spreading on his face. "We're going to make some stuff explode!" He exclaimed, setting his pencil down on the desk in front of him.

"Okay." Jil said. "We'll need hydrogen peroxide, saturated potassium iodide solution, and liquid dishwashing detergent."

"Uh," Toby started, rubbing the back of his neck. "Where do I get those?"

"I have no idea." Jil said, laughing. "I know the home ec teacher has dishwashing detergent, but I don't know about the others."

"Hydrogen peroxide and saturated potassium iodide solution. . ." Toby sighed, resting his chin on the palm of his hand as he looked at Jil. "We can find that on amazon or somethin'."

(omg you actually can)
"So what now?" Jil asked.

Toby shrugged, still watching Jil as a soft smile tugged the corners of his lips up.

Jil slowly smiled, an idea forming in her brain. "I have an idea." she said. She stood up from her seat, and motioned for Toby to follow her. "Mrs. J, we're stepping out for a second." she told the teacher, who absentmindedly nodded, concentrating on her phone.

Toby followed behind Jil, raising a brow in question.

Jil walked into the hallway, heading for the office. After many twists and turns through the long hallways, they arrived at the office. Jil greeted the secretary warmly. "Hi Mr. F, Can we borrow the keys to the basement? It's for an assignment." she asked, smiling sweetly. Mr. F nodded, handing her the keys. He wished her luck on the assignment, and they were off again through the long hallways.

"What are we going to do in the basement?" Toby asked curiously as he sidled up next to her.

"So I can murder you and no one will ever find your body." Jil said, completely straight faced as she kicked open the stubborn basement door. She flicked a switch on, and light illuminated a long staircase. She started down the stairs, and tripped multiple times on uneven steps. She looked back to make sure Toby was following her. "Careful, the steps are uneven."

"I hope that was a joke." Toby answered, chuckling lightly. He followed after her, stepping down the rickety staircase.
