Lucas curled his nose in disgust and resisted the intense urge to slap his palm to his face when Mr. D announced the project. Of [i]course[/i] he assigned a project on the second day of school. This was complete bullshit… But it wasn’t worth throwing a fit over. It was just a huge pain in the ass. But maybe if he got a good grade on it, he’d have a good foundation for the rest of the quarter. Yeah, yeah, that was it.

Lucas somewhat curiously took the paper that Mr. D handed to him and turned to look at Alice before getting to read it.

“I think we have two very definitions of fun,” he replied, laughing rather darkly before looking back at the paper to read the assignment and began to read it out loud.

“The purpose of this project is to perform your own simple psychological experiments and to give you an introduction to the power of the mind,” he read. He squinted and frowned but continued. “Each group will receive a different topic that I want you to either discuss in front of the class or perform a small experiment or poll and present the results.”

Lucas shrugged. “Well, I guess it’s not that complicated,” he concluded. “Let’s see…” He skimmed through the words quickly. “The topic I have chose for you is psychics.” He stopped and furrowed his brows, tilting his head in slight confusion and disbelief. 

“Uhh…” he let out hesitantly, but he tried not to give off an air of suspicion. “And here he gave us some ideas we could discuss… ‘Do you know any psychics personally?’ ‘What is your opinion on them?’ ‘Are they an asset or a liability?’”

He finished reading and set the assignment down on his desk. He leaned back in his chair, holding in a tired sigh, and turned to her and shrugged his shoulders again.

“It’s definitely an interesting topic, yeah?”
