"In very deed. You coming with me for absolutely no reason whatsoever again, or do I see you on the field later?"

"I'll catch you out there, Ade. Have fun." 

"Later."

Chem!

"Now, I'm sure you're all looking forward to escaping this cesspit as much as I am, but first I'll need you to pretend to understand basic scientific principles. Put your heads together, and when that's still not enough, try picking up the collection of paper next to you and reading it." 

He approaches Ade as he sits.

"Mr. Iroko, I'm sure you've been enjoying your partnership with not one, but two, of your female peers, but I'm afraid I'll have to put you with a partner. Try a threesome on your own time. Mr. Daehler, make some room over there." 

He points. 

Mr. Daehler makes room for his new partner.

"We'll miss you."

"Me, too!" And to new partner: "Hi! Adedayo, but Ade's better. Nice to meet you."

"Hey. Sorry about this, looks like you had a nice thing going." 

"Hmm, you know, when life closes a door and stuff."

"Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom. You can set up here, I'll go get today's nectar of empirical discovery." 

"My, am I special or do you quote romantic things like that to every boy you meet?" he asks, winking and starting to set up there.

His lab partner gathers the required materials, and they can begin. 

He's fairly quiet, after the initial remark. 

If he doesn't wanna talk then Ade can not-talk and just be quietly efficient and have fun with chemistry.

Chemistry will pass quietly.

Lydia and Allison are done first, but Ade can push for second if he wants.

This isn't a competition.

But yes second works and it might become one in the future.

"Same time tomorrow?"

"Yeah, see you."

Psych?

Psych.

There's his new friend, Jackson.

The seat next to him is open.

Ade takes the seat next to him.

"Yo."

"I hope you had fun at lunch. I'm going to be stuck with Brian tomorrow."

"Is he that bad?"

"We're friends, he's perfectly fine. It's mostly that he stares at my girlfriend, and he's not very subtle."

"—ah. And have you—or has she—asked him to stop?"

"He tries not to when I ask, but she encourages him. She likes that it bothers me."

Today they'll be talking about biases!

There are so many.

Confirmation, anchoring, availability, recency, false consensus...
