Summary:

Ominis Gaunt is paired up with a near stranger for Professor Sharp's grueling Fifth-Year chemistry assignment. When he sends her the first text, he doesn't expect to start learning about more than compounds and reactions.
Suddenly, Ominis' phone is buzzing more than usual. Suddenly, he's stalking her on social media, something he told himself he'd never do.

And suddenly, he's checking his messages more and more often.

--------------------------------------------------------

A sweet, fluffy one-shot about the text conversations between Ominis and his Chemistry partner.

Allegra Chant (Chemistry)
9:31 p.m.
Are we working straight away or just figuring stuff out first? Because I've got a 30 min break between phys and theatre tomo if that works

 

Ominis Gaunt (chem)
9:32 p.m.
That works.

Hey!! heres the first introduction draft, give it a look and tell me what I need to work on

 

Ominis Gaunt (chem)
7:41 p.m.
I'll get back to you

7:52 p.m.
This is pretty solid already. Good work.

7:53 p.m.
But the formatting is a little off.

 

Allegra Chant (Chemistry)
7:55 p.m.
Yay! and yeah sorry im on my phone. Ill fix that up when I get home.

 

Ominis Gaunt (chem)

You're outside?

 

Allegra Chant (Chemistry)

You work?

 

Allegra Chant (Chemistry)
7:59 p.m.
Not always, stepping in for my Mum today

8:00 p.m.
Did you know the Greengrasses have the nicest pool but they never use it

 

Ominis Gaunt (chem)
8:00 p.m.
I didn't think you'd need the work

 

Allegra Chant (Chemistry)
8:01 p.m.
haha just padding my resume ;)

 

Ominis Gaunt (chem)
8:01 p.m.
That nice pool is practically useless. Have you seen the weather in Scotland?

8:02 p.m.
Because I haven't.

8:03 p.m.
Not too well, anyway.

 

Allegra Chant (Chemistry)
8:15 p.m.

Your message woke me up

 

Allegra Chant (Chemistry)

Haha, no.

 

Allegra Chant (Chemistry)
2:08 p.m.
I need someone to chatter with otherwise I will physically explode

2:09 p.m.
Hey whats your favorite food?

 

Ominis
2:10 p.m.
Roast lamb with mint sauce. My mother's one good recipe.

2:11 p.m.
Explode? Why, is sitting still not your forte?


Allegra Chant (Chemistry)
2:11 p.m.
You joke but its really clinically not. also you dont get to bully me about that mr falling asleep in class

2:12 p.m.
I remember your mum. Shes tall.

2:13 p.m.
Scary

2:14 p.m.
I met her once and I dont think she likes me much :(

 

Ominis
2:15 p.m.
Don't take it too personally. My mother doesn't even like her own children. Why the question?

 

Allegra Chant (Chemistry)
2:17 p.m.
Im bored 

2:18 p.m.
And I want to know you a little better

2:19 p.m.
Outside of your annoying paper-writing self I mean ;)

 

Ominis
2:20 p.m.
Haha. I annoy you, do I?

 

Allegra Chant (Chemistry)
2:22 p.m.
Im just saying my writing is good enough without you hounding me about it!! all those comments you leave me on the docs clog up my email >:(

2:23 p.m.
Aw look at that

2:24 p.m.
Made you laugh

 

Ominis
2:23 p.m.
Don't get too used to it. What's your favorite food?

 

Allegra Chant (Chemistry)
2:22 p.m.
Hmmm. i like mango ice cream and way too much junk food. but i really love al arrabbiata

 

Ominis
2:24 p.m.
I don't think I've ever had that, so I don't know what that is.

 

Allegra Chant (Chemistry)
2:25 p.m.
Its spicy pasta. Hey ill bring you some one day

2:26 p.m.
Favorite song/band/whatever?

 

Ominis
2:28 p.m.

Allegra Chant (Chemistry)
2:35 p.m.
Why not

2:36 p.m.
Oh no wait lol. I bet its going to be something super edgy

Allegra Chant (Chemistry)

I feel like a bother if anything.

4:54 p.m.

10:05 p.m.
I think we've done pretty well on this

11:35 p.m.
Hello. I finished your parts too.

 

Allegra
11:45 p.m.
Oh. Thank you, you didnt have to do that. Let me work on the presentation instead ok?

 

Ominis
11:46 p.m.
It's no bother. You were almost done anyway. I know it's not really my place to ask, but is something wrong?

 

Allegra

You ever feel like youve got so much to do all the time and its never going to be enough?

11:48 p.m.
Even if youre perfect

 

Ominis

Honestly? I didn't think you were under that kind of pressure

 

Allegra
11:57 p.m.
Whys that?

 

Ominis
11:58 p.m.
You seem happy, for lack of a better term. Unbothered.

11:59 p.m.
And your parents seem to love you.

 

Allegra
11:59 p.m.
They do. its my grandparents who expect a lot out of me. and i am happy and unbothered for the most part. but im also human 

12:00 a.m.
Honestly I felt the same way about you. glad theres someone who understands :)

12:01 a.m.
Sorry ive been such a downer today!! I think ill stay up and work on our presentation. Cant let you have all the credit ;)

 

Ominis
12:02 a.m.

Out of curiosity, how did you find out?

Traitor.

11:18 a.m.

Ominis
12:23 a.m.
So, one day at a time?

 

Allegra
12:24 a.m.
One day at a time. sometimes youve just got to smile and wave and eventually the smiling starts to feel a little more natural :)

12:25 a.m.

Allegra

Ominis
1:19 a.m.
That really doesn't help.

 

Allegra
1:20 a.m.
Ill give you a straight answer if you will

 

Ominis
1:23 a.m.
Fair enough.

1:24 a.m.

Ominis

Haha, alright. Let's see. 1) I did like you. 2) I absolutely did not mean to friendzone you and you threw your hissy fit before I could make up for it 3) Of course I was perfect tonight, I had to make up for lost chances.

12:19 a.m.
That should be everything, yes?

 

Allegra

Hissy fit!!!!???

Notes:

Thanks for reading, everyone! Hope you enjoyed our little highschool/secondary year shenanigans <3

Doing research for this story helped me to learn a whole lot more about the blind and visually impaired, assistive technology, service dogs, and how instrumental they are.

This blog in particular was incredibly insightful: https://lifeofablindgirl.com/2019/02/03/how-do-blind-and-visually-impaired-people-use-a-mobile-phone/
Bella's ig and tiktok are also informative and touching to watch/read! : https://www.instagram.com/my.eyes.ohara/?hl=en
