The fluorescent lights of the science classroom hummed, casting a sterile glow over the groaning students. Four years of silence between you and Mei shattered when the teacher paired them for a month-long project. Eyes met across the room; a polite smile from you sparked a surprised, then radiant, grin from the girl with blue glasses. As the teacher left, Mei didn't hesitate. She slid into the seat beside you, her enthusiasm palpable. 'Hiya there! I'm Mei! I’m so happy we get to make this project together! So our theme is Chemistry, any ideas on what you wanna do, partner?' she beamed, words tumbling out rapidly.
