Liar || c. d. {DISCONTINUED for new edition}

7 | I Live For The Applause

*Blue's POV*

              "Go away." I hissed, walking towards the other end of the hallway watching out of the corner of my eye as the Davenports followed me. I whipped around and shouted louder at them, "Go AWAY!"

"You can't just tell us to go away. We can stay around you for as long as we want." Bree pointed out.

"Yeah, we're bionic." Adam said, staring off in the other direction. I just looked from Chase, to Leo, then to Bree, skipping Adam.

"Listen, I'm supposed to despise you. I was never supposed to have actual friends. I'm supposed to be destined on my own and that was going to be my life until you guys showed up. How about I make you a deal, I'll forget that I ever saw you using your bionics if we quit being friends. Kay? Kay."

                 I turned on my heel and started walking away when I heard Chase yell, "You've never had real friends before, have you? Or is your self-esteem just extremely low?" I clenched my fists, begging my feet to move forward, but they refused and chose to turn back towards them.

"You think you know so much about me, don't you?" I asked them, leaning so close to Chase that our noses were only inches apart. "Well, news flash. You don't. You don't know what I've been through. You don't know my story. You don't know anything about me, you don't even know what I am. So stop pretending like you do!" I snapped.

"What if we want to get to know you?" Chase asked, staring curiously at me.

"I would ignore you every time you tried to talk to me." I said, trying to mask the nervousness in my voice but I could tell a little slipped out due to their changed expressions.

"Please? Come on, we already shared our hugest secret with you. Now it's your turn." Bree pleaded, reaching for my hand, which I let her hold limply.

  I breathed deeply through my nose and considered this. "I have nothing to tell." I did my famous lie perfectly. 3/3 performance. Yes, I grade myself on my lies.

                  "Everyone has something to tell," Chase stated. Why was he acting to... Smart? Oh, right, he has super intelligence. My tutor has super intelligence. Wow, "if you won't tell us now, how about you come over tonight again? It's a Friday."

                  Bree and Leo both looked at me expectantly and I shook my arm away from Bree, and turned around preparing to walk away. "Sorry, I can't. I have to walk my unicorn tonight."

                   Just as I was about to start walking away, I realized I couldn't move. I tried moving my legs but they wouldn't budge. "Hey," I whispered, turning my head around to see Chase holding his hands out in front of him, focusing on bringing me closer to him. "Let me go!" I cried.

He did once I was standing right next to him. "Fine," I said, pouting. "I'll be over tonight."

I looked at them and once they were looking away, I started running away and they started chasing after me until I jumped onto Chase's back and then Bree climbed onto me and I tried clawing at Chase's hair.

Bree started braiding my hair. "Get off of me!" I snapped, batting my fishtail braid into the air. Bree jumped down and when I tried to get down, Chase tightened his grip on me. "Let me go!" I cried desperately as a small crowd formed around us and started giggling.

"No way." Chase smiled and I tried pulling free. His grip only got tighter until I got an idea. I bent backwards, my hair touching the floor as I hung upside down, forcing Chase to let go of my legs. I fell down on my back and groaned, struggling to get up, but I noticed that Chase had already grabbed me again and waved the kids holding their phones, recording us away. Bree, Adam, and Leo ran over and opened the school doors for some reason.

I cried out in shock as Chase twirled me around, pulled me back to his chest, then dipped me, and as I spun back up, threw me over his shoulder, so that my face was facing away from his back, held onto my legs and ran out the door as I screamed for him to let me go and the 'audience' applauded.

"You are so lucky I'm flexible, Chase!"

............................

                   That night, after school, the Davenports carried me home (literally) and they made me stay with them by locking me in Chase's capsule.

                   You never know how loud you can scream until you actually try. I hung out with them for a long time, spending some quality time with Chase and Bree seprately, not wanting to hang out with Leo alone or Adam because one, Leo tries flirting with me and two, Adam is sort of creepy...

                 Anyways, the point was that they made me stay over for dinner. I met Tasha, Leo's mom, who was super glad that they were actually hanging out with someone who is not bionic and I thought it would be best not to mention that I'm not even human.

                  When it was time for me to leave, everyone was super hesitant to say goodbye, Adam even started crying because I had to go. "Adam, we're not five anymore..." I tried to sooth him as he cried on the carpet.

                   I hoisted my messenger bag higher up on my shoulder. "Listen, I have to go now. I'll see you guys at school."    

                  "Okay. I can walk you out if you want?" Chase asked and I noticed Bree, Leo, Adam, Mr. Davenport, even Tasha making suggestive faces at me. I wrinkled my nose and looked back at him.

                 "Uh... Maybe some other time. I really have to go, I have a unicorn to feed." I smiled before dashing out the door.

...........................

*Chase's POV*

                   "She seems really nice Chase," Tasha wouldn't stop talking about Blue. "you should hang out with her more. And not just you, all of you. You finally found someone who is okay with this."

                   I sighed. "It's not... Like that, Tasha."

   "Well, she seems to like you especially out of us. You have any special feelings for her?" Bree asked, smiling gleefully.

                   "S-so what if I do?" I stuttered, getting flustered. "She obviously isn't interested."

                   "Chase, she jumped onto your back. In public. That's something only we do, and we really like each other," Adam was trying desperately to describe this.

                 He eventually gave up for a bowl of chips. "It takes time, Chase." Bree soothed.

  "Just leave it alone," I told her, turning to go to the Lab. "I may like her but she obviously doesn't want anything to do with us. She despises us. She even said so."

                  I never expected how much pain racked against me whenever I remembered her saying that.
