"You're such a joy to be around."-
"Well, you're a pain in the arse."
Jordyn had no idea that befriending the lovely idiot who broke her locker would turn her life upside down. But here she was, amidst bionics, secrets and life-threatening dangers...

The past few days had been a whirlwind for Jordyn, all thanks to the Davenports. After the brief visit with her parents, she'd dutifully picked up the documents her mother needed. It was on her way out that Bree had stopped her, and the two had exchanged numbers. A few casual conversations later, and here Jordyn was – driving to school earlier than usual, about to meet Bree and Adam in the parking lot.
Jordyn hadn't expected to hit it off with Bree. They didn't share many interests, but something clicked. Maybe it was the shared curiosity or the fact that neither of them had any close girlfriends. But their differences were particularly the reason for their newfound friendship working so well; it hadn't been much different with Adam.
However, before her their friendship could move along, Joe had to promise Adam he'd stay her best friend for all eternity – even with his siblings in the picture. She didn't hesitate to agree.
After she had parked her car in front of the school, Jordyn stepped out and instantly heard Adam calling her name from the entrance. "Joe! Over here."
She approached the group with a smile, frowning at their little huddle. What she noticed almost immediately was the sound of wheels screeching, continuously. Being sensitive to such loud noises, she grimaced. "What the hell is that?"
"That jerk has been doing doughnuts in the school parking lot all morning," Bree answered, rolling her eyes. They had endured this for the past few minutes since waiting for her.
Adam smiled, "Finally, a good reason to come to school."
Joe shook her head with a grin but couldn't retort as Chase cut in, "Guys, look out!" He pushed Leo out of the way, reaching for Joe's arm. However, Adam was faster and pulled the girl to his chest, preventing her from being hit by the noisy driver.
As the car came to a stop – only a lonely trash can becoming victim to it –, they exhaled. Jordyn untangled from her best friend's arms and stared at the spot she had stood in just seconds before. If Adam hadn't reacted in time, she would have been that can under the wheel.
"Boggin nyaff," she mumbled, dusting off her backpack in silent distraction.
What the group didn't expect was to see Principal Perry get out of the car—well, try to get out. Instead of opening the door like any normal person, she attempted to climb through the window. It was a tight squeeze. Honking sounded twice as she wriggled, clearly stuck. After a few moments of struggle, she gave up and unlocked the door. After slamming it shut, she nonchalantly spun to the teens, "What's up?"
Leo gathered all his courage and walked up to her, "What are you doing?"
"Pushin' the envelope on this little baby's rollover specs."
