Sinners and Saints

A week later and I was back in Lexy's room, with its familiar red walls ,checker tiled flooring, and vanity covered with makeup and hair-dye. The kiss was a thing of the past, all but forgotten. We were studying, well Lexy was explaining and I was staring at her confused, for our chem midterm. "No Ash! The periodic table is not used to plan out your next period!"
