The Truth About Love.

   *Authors Note: This essay is a theme essay on the book “Perfect Chemistry” by Simone Elkeles.*

                Do you believe in love at first sight? Well Brittany and Alex did they both knew they were in love with each other the first time they saw each other in Chemistry class and the first time they got to work with each other and the sparks flew. That is why love is the main theme in the book “Perfect Chemistry” by, Simone Elkeles. 

First off, Brittany and Alex were made Chemistry partners in Chemistry Class. The only thing is that Brittany and Alex are two different people and they don’t see eye to eye on anything. So when Brittany and Alex were partnered up together, they got so mad at the fact they had to be with each when they didn’t want to be, that in class they didn’t have a very good start. Alex would always make fun of Brittany, and Brittany did the same to him. Although, things turned with them when they both reached for the bottle of water and their hands collided. Little did they know that, that was the first step into their secret relationship.

However, Brittany isn’t always the easiest person to be around but when Brittany went to a party at the beach. She got sick it was Alex who grabbed her and bought her to safety. Everyone kept passing Brittany around because no one wanted to take care of her but when Alex saw this going on he grabbed her and took her home to safety without being harmed. Alex didn’t care who saw him doing this he just cared for Brittany and no one would step up to help her but Alex.  Alex came through for her and was Brittany’s knight in shining armor. 

Lastly, it’s hard to see the person you love do something to put themselves in harm. When Alex was going to do a drug deal Brittany couldn’t stand for it. She couldn’t watch him throw his life away and risk getting hurt. Alex meant the world to Brittany and when Brittany didn’t want him to do the deal she poured out her feelings to him and said “Alex you’re my world and I can’t watch you go through with this so it’s the deal or me.”  Alex had given up the deal for Brittany because, Brittany was the only thing he wanted in life.

“I love you now, I loved you then and I have loved you way back when” This quote resembles they way Alex gave up his life for Brittany and Brittany has done the same for Alex. That is why the clear theme in the book Perfect Chemistry is love.
