She-Freak - Chase Davenport

seven.

Wednesday, 9th April 2014

Two weeks later, after Claire's birthday, the childhood best friends were in the lab.

- "So, it's ready?" Maddie asked.

- "Yep." Leo nodded. "Now, I just need a victim."

Adam walked in.

- "Like him?" The alien girl whispered to the short boy, who nodded.

- "Hey, Adam." He said. "Attack me."

- "Oh, no, no, no." The tall guy shook his head. "I know how this works. First, you tell me to attack you, I say 'no' and then, you taunt me till I snap. It's not gonna happen." Leo threw a water bottle at his brother's chest. "Oh, it's on, little man!" Two floating orbs appeared behind the short boy and fired a laser at Adam. "Oh, no! The Christmas ornaments are turning against us!" He groaned, on the floor.

The Matthews girl laughed.

The eldest, quickly, got up and the orbs went away.

- "Nope, you just got pulse-waved by my latest invention, Attack Orbs." The younger brother explained.

- "Huh?" Adam frowned.

- "When they perceive a threat within five feet of me, they attack." Leo replied. "They're mobile robotic bodyguards."

- "Uh, impressive. But have you ever thought about just lifting weights or working out?" The tall guy asked.

- "I designed them to protect you guys from Douglas and Krane when Dee isn't with you." The short boy explained. "If I'm going to be a true inventor, I have to start making things without Big D. And if I prove myself, maybe he'll eventually let me be his business partner."

- "Right, 'cause every billionaire needs an incompetent relative who brings nothing to the table." Eddy said.

- "Hey, guys." Chase walked in.

- "Speaking of..." The eldest smiled.

Maddie slapped him upside the head.

- "What did you say, Adam?" The genius boy chuckled.

- "Nothing. Chase, why are you attacking Leo?" Adam asked.

- "What?" The green hazel-eyed boy frowned. The tall guy pushed him in front of Leo, and the attack orbs reappeared. "Aah!" He screamed, before the attack orbs fired at him, causing him to fall to the floor.

Chase propped himself on his elbow, exhaled and looked up at the alien girl, who was biting her lips. She's trying so hard not to laugh.

And my mind went dirty. The Matthews girl thought.

- "Awesome!" The eldest chuckled and high-fived the short boy, causing the orbs to fire at him, spending him to the floor, next to his brother.

- "Karma." Maddie laughed.

- "Do it again!" Adam exclaimed on the floor. Leo shook his head and walked away. The tall guy, quickly, got up. "Do it again!" He followed his brother.

The alien girl extended her hand to her best friend, who took it to get up.

- "You were trying so hard not to laugh." The genius boy snickered.

- "What?" The Matthews girl frowned.

- "I saw you biting your lips." The green hazel-eyed boy smirked.

That's not why I was biting my lips. Maddie thought.

- "Oops." She chuckled.

- "I'm surprise you didn't kick Adam's butt." Chase said.
