"Choose which one of you wants to get their fingers pricked and which one of you will do the rest of the work." Mr. McKnight declared. "Hold the needle firmly and use it to prick your partner's finger lightly. Do not overdo it." He joked and suppressed his laughter, enjoying the joke mentally. "If any one of you feels dizzy at the sight of the blood then leave the class immediately. Don't waste a single minute explaining yourself." He told.
A wave of hushed voices spread all over the classroom. Everyone indulged themselves in deciding the assigned roles for the blood experiment. I wasn't sure how to approach Lucas or even turn my head to look at him. For a second, I thought about asking Mr. McKnight to replace my partner with someone else but I wasn't familiar with anyone else in the class. Moreover, it would only cause another commotion in the classroom and I wasn't particularly interested in being the centre of attention.
