Now That You're Here (Duplexity, Part I) (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Class has already started, and Mac is standing at the front of the room, lecturing from behind the demonstration table. A contraption of coiled metal and wire takes up most of his workspace. As he talks, he paces back and forth, tossing an apple into the air. I break up Warren and Missy’s whisperfest when I take my seat between them. She looks annoyed that I interrupted their conversation. Warren turns his back to me. “Hey.” He doesn’t look up. Mac continues to talk, his eyes distant, like he’s talking out loud to himself rather than teaching a class. “The repulsive force on diamagnetic materials is too small to measure when using a standard electromagnet.” He trades out the apple for a marker and writes a formula on the whiteboard. The class follows suit, copying the information down. The zipper of my backpack is painfully loud. I pull out my physics notebook and a sharp pencil, then zip the bag back up and set it on the floor. Ugh. If anyone missed the fact that I was late to class, it’s obvious now.
