"You did what!" Mia shrieked once Leo came into the living room with popcorn in one hand and the remote in the other. Mia laid on the white Italian couch as her foot was placed on pillows to keep it elevated.
He smiled sheepishly at her, "Look I'm sorry ok but you can't go to school for a week and you can't take that off for the next 6 weeks so I thought, 'Hey, why not?'"
Mia covered her face with her hands in frustration and groaned loudly. Leo placed the popcorn bowl besides her on the coffee table and gave her the remote.
"When is he coming? " She asked.
The bell rang signaling her answer and she immediately sat up right and glared at Leo as he opened the door.
"Hey Chase." Leo greeted with a fake smile and let him in.
"Kill me now," Mia mumbled silently grabbing the remote and turned on the 3D tv.
"Bye guys," Leo said closing the front door and continued walking around the house where the underground entrance to the lab was located. When he opened the morphing door he saw Mr. Davenport working on a software his mom had done. He was just updating a few things before he sent it to his mom.
"Sup Mr. Davenport." Leo said casually.
Mr. Davenport looked up at Leo and smiled brightly while asking, "Hey Leo, where's Mia? I heard about the accident earlier this wee- Wait, you didn't leave her alone did you?"
Leo shook his head and responded, "No, in fact I hired a babysitter to look after her."
Mr. Davenport cocking an eyebrow at him and asked, "Who?"

"Why can't you just go to your fabulous life and leave me alone. I don't need a babysitter!" Complained Mia as she switched the channels.
"Could you stop your wining, your not the only one who doesn't want to be here," Chase replied, texting some chick on his phone.
Mia looked over at him, "Then why don't you just leave. I won't tell anyone that it was you who broke my foot."
"That's not going to work. Your bodyguard won't like it." Chase resorted angrily.
Mia groaned and hit her head against the white throw pillow as she finally found a good channel.
"You like basketball? " Asked Chase amused as he saw a replay of last night's game. Mission Creek Redstone vs Welkerville Travelers.
"Yeah, it's one of the only things I like to watch when I'm not studying or running," Mia said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Chase shook his head chuckling lightly before stopping abruptly. He didn't want it to seem that he enjoyed himself in her company.
'Why couldn't I be with Leo?' Mia thought hitting her head against the white throw pillow.
Suddenly the doorbell rang making Chase groan and open the door. Catlin froze in her steps but she shook her head and entered surprised to see Mia in a huge cast.
"Oh my god are you ok? Rumor is that you had surgery and the doctor fainted on how badly broken your foot was." Catlin said rushed, sitting besides her while taking out a sharpie.
Mia laughed, "Nice to see you too Catlin."
"Hey Mia," Catlin greeted signing her cast 'Hope you feel better - Catlin.'
"So what happened at school while I was gone?" Mia asked getting some popcorn and returning her attention to the game.
"Sebastian and Marcus told me to tell you that they hope you feel better," Catlin told her, happily drawing flowers on her cast.
Catlin and Sebastian were brother and sister, fraternal twins if you must, and they were one of the only friends (other than Leo and Marcus) she could actually trust with SOME of her secrets. Marcus was one of their best friends (even if he was related to the Henderson' s) since they met in 7th grade.
"You know Brad? The senior?" Catlin asked, drawing flowers around her message.
"Yeah," Mia responded, shoving another popcorn piece in her mouth. Brad was one of the best basketball players at school and also was one of the most popular kids at Mission Creek high, besides Chase.
"Well, he wanted to know if you wanted to go on a date sometime." Catlin said.
Mia laughed loudly, "Me? and Brad? No! I'm not dating-"
"Till you find 'The One'. I know, but you'll never know who 'The One' is until you start dating," Catlin cut her off already use to this conversation. Mia nodded and kept eating some popcorn. She didn't know why nor want to know why Brad had a school boy crush on her.
It started in six grade when she was the only one who stopped people from bullying him and even if it was an act of kindness it didn't give him a reason to fall for her.
People +♥+Mia=not a very good combo.
People always try to go out with her since she always said no and they want to be the first guy she says yes to. Chase sat down besides the two acting as if he didn't care about their conversation but in reality he found it interesting. It was like an investigation through a girls mind on a daily basis.
Getting girls opinion on guys besides his sister; 'bonus!'
Maybe he can finally crack the secret to why Mia turns down every guy and how he can help his friend Brad win her heart.
"If you want I could set you up with a kid from my class?" Suggested Catlin and that's when Mia started choking on her popcorn.
Catlin patted her back, helping Mia breathe. Once Mia finally caught her breath, she said, "No! I'm sorry but no. I want to meet that special guy who will knock me off my feet and who will do anything to just win a date with me."
Catlin rolled her eyes and mumbled, "Your impossible."
Mia smiled and returned her attention to the tv.
