Angels Like You | C. Davenport

Air Leo

(Y/N) POV

Me and Chase were sitting at the control panel in the lab after-school having to listen to Leo pace around and complain about Trent."And no matter what I do, Trent always makes me look like a fool in front of Janelle."

"Well, he does get a little help from you in that area." Chase comments

I look Leo up and down "Chase is right Leo, stop helping Trent out"

Leo starts to laugh sarcastically at Chase and I "How awesome would it be if I could beat him in that basketball tournament? That would impress her."

Chase slams on the control panel making me jump back a little, Chase turns over to Leo with a big creepy smile "Wait a second."

Leo starts to catch onto Chase's look and starts to smile as well "Uh-oh, you just turned on that Chase I'm-smarter-than-you-and-I-have-a-big-idea light-bulb face!" Leo drops his smile "It's not your best look, by the way."

Chase just shakes his head then scoffs "Davenport has been working on an anti-gravity high-top sneaker for astronaut training." Chase walks over to the sneakers and shows Leo and I what he was talking about "Maybe the sneaker's will up your game with a few gravity-defying slams dunks."

"Chase, not to play the obvious card, but there is no way my compact kickers are gonna fit into those shoe canoes," Leo tells Chase

Chase sighs "Just put 'em on."

Leo puts the shoes on and they shrink down into his size "Whoa!" Leo starts to walk around "Oh, yeah, baby!" Leo then looks at us and starts jumping "Whoa! Whoa!" Chase and I laugh as Leo stops in amazement. "Say hello to Air Leo!"

Chase looks at me then at Leo "Now for the real test."

Chase grabbed a basketball and decided we would challenge Leo, Chase starts to dribble in front of Leo, Leo grabs the ball, jumps, bounces off one wall, and slam dunks into the hoop "Yes! Did you see that? I don't need these shoes. That was all me. Watch." Leo takes off his shoes, I throw the ball over to Leo, Leo jumps up and ends up tripping and throwing the ball somewhere. Leo looks up at us "Okay, it was the shoes."

Chase dragged me into school while he holds up a megaphone "Ladies and gentlemen... If I may have your attention, I present to you the soon-to-be champion of the one-on-one basketball tourney—Dunkin' Leo Dooley!" Chase starts imitating crowd roars while I stand aside with a hold over my face.

Leo runs in "Will assist, flick a wrist, win the game, and pump a fist!" Leo runs up to Trent "You think it'll go down smoothly? Well, you've never played a champ like Dooley! Yes, that just happened!" We all start cheering

Trent steps up "Oh, yeah? Well, I'm the dude who's gonna..." he starts mumbling through his sentences "somebody give me some words that rhyme!"

Chase smiles and starts to follow Leo over to Janelle, Chase turns back noticing I'm trying to slip away. His smile widens while he grabs ahold of me "Sorry Y/n, but you're helping me out today" he kisses my cheek while I groan

We walk back over to hear Janelle talking to Leo "Leo, what are you doing?"

Chase grabs a pencil from behind his ear "He is signing up for the Hoop-A Palooza." Chase steps back and starts to speak into the megaphone again "Don't miss the event of the school year, where Trent will be destroyed by a scrawny underdog 1/16th his size!"

I start to laugh while leans over to Chase "Laying it on a little thick, aren't ya?" Leo then turns back over and signs the sign-up sheet "Here."

"Let me help you with that." Janelle then starts to erase his name on the list.
