Chapter #5Keni sees Linda at her class by: Goodvibes   Kendra---Keni to her friends--- snapped at the gum in her mouth. Chewing it aggressively, making sure all the flavor was out of it. Feeling satisfied that it couldn't hold anymore of its succulent juice, she threw it towards the open hole of a trashcan.
Keni stepped inside the building, of course she did flash the security her card before she went in. Looking around the sterile hallways, Keni found her mark. Making her way down, she thought of her friend, Linda's new invention. Linda said it would "revolutionize" the world, but Keni had her doubts.
Linda could be kinda, scatterbrained, with her ideas. And Keni was the witness when things went wrong. Like the time Linda decided to test out a new "hair removal" spray, and Linda lost hair for three weeks. Or that time Linda wanted to try a mascara remover, and she ended up having a red coloration in her face. Or that time she went and did her pheromone enhance, and she ended getting the most of the basketball team on her. Or that time, well, Keni had a lot of examples.
Knocking on the lab door, Keni took out another stick of bubblegum as she waited for it to open. After awhile, the face of Linda appeared in the window. A frizzled red haired lady; Linda at first was irritated, before seeing the figure of Keni. Smiling, Linda opened the door for her friend.
"Kendra, so nice of you to come. Sit, sit down." Linda said through huffed breathes. Keni picked the closest seat by her, and moved it so the back half was touching her chest.
Keni watched as Linda began to spat out a series of dialogues, all relating to what her experiment was about. Keni watched as Linda turned the dial of the Bunsen burner high, the liquid bubbled in the beaker. Linda prattled on, taking out various tools to measure the mixture.
The night went on as the duo discussed what Linda was doing. "And if my calculations are right, intense growth will come from this!"
Keni looked at her friend, eyebrow raised high. This "growth" mixture was going to be the talk of the town, if Linda was right. Unbeknownst to Linda, the mixture bubblec highly in it container. Slowly did it reach its breaking point, Keni was a lot more reactive than Linda, and she heard something from Linda's experiment.Staring intensely at it, Keni noticed what was amiss.
"Just think of the possibilities of mass producing this stuff." Linda said, Keni grew concerned as she watched the mixture bubble.
"Linda?"
"What paths could be open If I..."
"Linda."
"Hold on, maybe I could see what other avenues I could pursu-"
"Linda look behind you!" Keni pointed at the beaker, Linda turned around.
Aghast of what was happening, Linda moved quickly to the mixture. Unfortunately,it was already to late. The mixture grew and moved like a ship at sea; fearing for her friend, Keni grabbed onto Linda and moved her backwards. The beaker exploded, and the concoction sprayed Keni's back. A glass shard pierced her back, and Keni screamed outwards. Darkness grew in her vison, the last thing Keni heard was Linda's cries for help.

Waking up, Keni noticed that she was in a hospital gown. Looking around, Keni noticed Linda sleeping by her side. How long was she out? Almost moving off the bed she was on, Keni felt different. What was wrong?
