Those Bastards

Today after school the people from the teen center came again. They haven't come for a month. Exactly. Now, I didn't know they were coming. I gave up on them when they didn't show up for two weeks. So after school, I decided not to go straight to the bus stop. The bus wasn't there anyway, so why wait with the crowd? I instead went to my Chem. class. Earlier in that class he showed us a reaction of Aluminum + Iron (III) oxide --> Iron + Aluminum oxide. He had the aluminum and iron oxide in a small pot above a larger one along with a welding spike. He lit the spike and the reaction took place. It burned through the upper pot, and the liquid hot iron fell into the pot below. I thought it was so interesting, I decided I would ask him for it while waiting for my bus. I got a piece of it and went to the bus stop. After a second's observation, I noticed that the people from the teen center had come and gone, without giving me anything. I convinced somebody that they didn't really need one, and had him give it to me. It's better than nothing, but I hope they come sometime when I'm around next time. I've been giving away too many of them. I only have one of each of the different items that I decided I'd save.
