"Mickey! What do I add to this?" The voice behind her is an adorable combination of hopeful and confused. 'I dunno, try the red stuff- anticoagulants' And the shrug was practically audible in his voice. She shrugged back. Well, it was as good an answer as any. She picked up the red stuff, frowning at it.
And that's the end of his feigned nonchalance. He'd hoped she'd take the clue on her own, but now...he leaps out of the chair to the sound of the professor squawking angrily to 'PAY ATTENTION TO INSTRUCTION'. Not important.
She shoves to her feet, flushed and annoyed, and pushes him away. The professor is weaving his way through the desks, giving her a look that can only mean she'll have hell to pay. She shoves Theta away, grabbing her books (what's left of them, anyway,) and thrusting them into her bag.
"Thanks for the help," She snaps just before the professor arrives, and then it's all lecturing and just what do you think you were doing, and a few statements implying that she's thick right in front of him, in front of Mickey, in front of that blonde woman that keeps eyeballing him. She's lead away and out into the hall for the rest of the chastising.
He doesn't get the chastising from Rose, because he's got his desperate 'you've frightened me to death let me hug you' face on. Of course he...doesn't get to because she's chastised and lead away. A certain someone who won't be named who snickered under his breath when she was dragged off elbows him and tells him to get back to his work already.
Right. School work. Rose almost blew her face off over a joke. That makes it better? He glares at Mickey the idiot for a moment and settles into his chair with a huff. Class is early, she'll be long done and maybe gone or something by the time it's finished. There's no other way to...
The resulting explosion is loud enough to hear from the hallway. Normally, that wouldn't be a very significant statement, but considering the vastly superior soundproofing methods used to block out distracting noise, it's really bloody impressive.
The professor stops mid-word, yanking the door open. He'd march in, except the room is so full of smoke, it's a bit pointless, and students file out calmly. Not that smoke inhalation is the slightest concern, but it's impossible to work when everything is contaminated with the smoke, and it's difficult to see.

"What do I mix with it?" She hissed under her breath. "Before it explodes."

Is that a whiny voice? No way, man. "I tried, but somebody wouldn't shut up and stop whispering while he was talking."

Meanwhile, Theta will drag his desk away.

BOOM!!
She's thrown backward, sent sprawling into the floor through a desk, and hers... well, it pretty much doesn't exist anymore.

"Rose! Rose!" Over-reacting panic time? Yes. Now.

He stares down at the bottle she'd used.
And stares.
'Theta don't you dare--'
The whole bottle dropped in.

She stares incredulously at the ruined classroom.
Who the hell would be stupid enough to--
Heads it was Mickey, tails it was Theta.
