"I mean, you two are no-brainers. It's really only that seventh spot up for grabs." Demetri said as he, Sonny, and Eli stood at Eli's locker. Sonny smiled and gently rubbed her elbow against Demetri's side.

"Yeah, and it's all yours." Sonny said as Eli closed his locker and nodded in agreement. As they started to walk down the hallway, Demetri sighed and shook his head. "I appreciate the support, but I ran a statistical analysis. And while there is an 18% chance you two are right, the smart money is on Kenny."

Demetri, who was standing on Eli's left, turned to him and raised his eyebrows. "I mean, he did beat you in that head-to-head. Cheap shot not withstanding." He said, earning an eye roll from Eli.

"Okay, Payne's got power. But so do you. Don't count yourself out, man." Eli said, slapping Demetri's chest.

Demetri sighed as he looked down the hall ahead of them. "I prefer to focus on something actually achievable for me, getting into MIT." He breathed out before he turned to Eli beside him excitedly and slapped his chest. "Early Action decisions come out any day now, you know."

Sonny looked up at the two boys as Eli sighed, his head dropping. "Yeah, I know." He muttered and Sonny frowned, knowing that Eli still hadn't told Demetri he didn't apply to MIT.

Demetri nudged Eli's shoulder with his own, giving him a small smile. "Hey, come on, man. Have no fear." He said, making Eli and Sonny look up to him.

"I may not have confidence about becoming a world karate champion, but I know that MIT cannot turn down the Binary Bros." Demetri said just as the bell rang.

Sonny's steps slowed and her shoulders slumped. Demetri kept singling Sonny out, completely disregarding the fact that she applied to MIT too; that she was hoping to go to MIT with them. Sonny squinted as she watched Demetri turn down one of the hallways to his class, leaving Eli and Sonny.

Something in her chest sparked her to chase Eli and find out what was up with Demetri. She and Eli were heading in the same direction anyway, she might as well find out what was up with Demetri in the process. 

"Hey." Sonny muttered, stepping a little closer to Eli as they walked. The boy noticed she was trying to say something quieter and leaned closer to her. "Has Demetri.. been acting weird with you about MIT?" Sonny asked, her eyes staying on Eli, hoping to be able to read his face.

She watched as his eyebrows raised and his eyes twitch. He was hiding something. "What do you mean?" He asked nervously, not looking at Sonny.

Sonny's jaw dropped, stopping completely as Hawk abruptly turned into his classroom. "You're doing it now too!" She yelled after him.

Sonny stood in the hallway, her stomach churning as all the different scenarios of what could be happening started to circle her mind.
