Zoe and Sarah headed toward class. For a moment, they wanted to go in different directions, but ultimately, they headed to a single room, despite the fact they should be sharing no classes.
Sarah sniffled again, and reached for a tissue from her bag, blowing her nose. Her voice was starting to sound a bit nasal as a result, and the edge of her nostrils were a bit red. "What do you think is going on?"
"I'm not sure," Zoe said. "But I think we should investigate."
"Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean...maybe we should leave this to the professionals," Sarah said.
"They can try to figure this out too...I'm just saying we should too," Zoe said, pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose.
"You sure we won't get in trouble?"
"For asking questions? This is science..."
She turned to the person sliding into the seat next to her. "What happened to you?" She asked.
"Mind your fucking business," he said, turning away from her.
"Interesting," Zoe said. "I wonder if the hostility is a side effect."
Finally, someone entered and walked to the front of the room, and placed a satchel on the teacher's desk before turning around to address them all.
