Lab Partners and Other Disasters

by Dev Ramachandran

Arjun has a 4.0, a five-year plan, and zero interest in his loud, hungover, gorgeous new chemistry lab partner. Theo has a failing grade, a band that practices at 2 a.m., and a habit of asking questions Arjun doesn't have answers for. They have one semester, one shared bench, and a slow-burning problem neither of them wrote into their plans.
