Cara carefully glanced around the room, waiting for someone, anyone else to answer the question.
She opened her pencil case and pulled out a handful of different coloured pens. Picking up a red pen, she wrote: What is a Metalloid?, putting that pen back with the others on the table, she selected a blue and wrote down: An element classified as a Metalloid has properties of both metals and non-metals. Some are semi-conductors and can carry an electrical charge making them useful in calculators and computers.
She replaced the pen with the others and pulled out the sheet of paper, pretending to study it as hard as the others in the class were doing.

Reagan slowly looked around the room after pretending to carefully study the chart. When nobody raised their hands, she resisted a sigh and raised her hand. A metalloid is an element that has both metallic and nonmetallic properties. Like... she thought of an example. Silicon. she said. She hoped she was right- she was fairly certain she was, though.

Dr. McKim smiled at Reagan's answer, "Correct. And good example. Another more common metalloid is Boron," he stated. The professor glanced at his watch, "Okay, I have a dentist appointment to attend to, so you all are free to leave- But first!" he exclaimed as some of the students stood up, "Your homework assignment is to learn and memorize all the elements in the first TWO columns!"
And with that said, the professor zipped up his briefcase and briskly walked out the door. Toby stayed in his seat with Seth as the other kids cleared the room. They figured Reagan and Cara might hang around just to chat for a bit. Seth sighed, "What a fun deal," he folded the paper into an airplane and threw it in the air. The plane went in two loops and curved right 180 degrees and came gliding down on the tile floor softly, "I'll pick it up before I leave," he told his friends.

Cara waited for the teacher and her lab "buddies" to leave before she turned at grinned at Reagan, Seth and Toby. "My favourite metalloid is Arsenic!" She laughed as she brushed some hair out of her face. "You'll probably get in trouble for that." She said as Toby threw his paper aeroplane. "He seems the type of teacher who expects every piece of paper he hands out to stay in pristine condition." She shrugged and looked at her paper. "You want mine? I can just read them out of the textbook." She wasn't going to tell them that she already knew the table. Sure, she was a freak but she wasn't going to divulge that information to anyone else.
She glanced back down at the paper in her folder. The fact that she could read something and then quote back pages a week later was something that she didn't tell anyone. "So, this looks like it'll be a fun class."

The girl watched as the teacher walk out. Dentist appointment? Schweet. she laughed and sat on the desk, swinging her legs. Cara came over and she gave the other girl a wave. Then she heard what Cara said about the class. Reagan snorted. I suppose- even though he's already giving us homework. Teachers never fail to disappoint. she joked. She glanced at the paper she held in her hand. I hate chemistry. she said as she wrinkled her nose.

Toby nodded in agreement, "Yep. I just want to mix up chemicals, that's it. And look like retard wearing lab goggles sounds pretty fun too."
Seth laughed lightly and stood up. He walked over and picked up the paper plane. He unfolded it and studied the paper, "I hate to dissapoint you man," he told Toby, "But at the rate we're going, we'll be lucky to get a lecture on lab safety."

Lab goggles always smell bad. Reagan said, wrinkling her nose again. She crossed her legs and sat up straighter. Well, if I'm gonna stay in this class, I should hope we do labs every once in a while. Chemistry's cramping my style. she said with a laugh. She wouldn't drop out of this class; her parents would kill her.

Cara shrugged. "Give it at least a couple of week before you want to start blowing things up." She advised. "It's always good to know the properties of the chemicals you're using before you try mixing them together. You mix the wrong things, or at the wrong temperature and kaboom! Not a very pretty sight when the lab explodes. Not good on your report card either."
She looked at Reagan. "If the class isn't your thing, rather than dropping out why don't you ask if you can change classes. I came here rather than earth science, I could do that class..." She trailed off, the rest of what she was going to say remained unsaid. "I would have done bio, but I'm not too keen on the dissecting thing." She shuddered slightly. "I couldn't cut up a living creature, even if it is for the good of science. And my profs have always said I'm good at math."
