The Return Of Marcus

Chapter 8

Chapter eight.
"Leo, can you answer a question for me?" Selena asked.
"Finally, a student comes to me with a question. What is it?" Leo asked.
"I know you're a sucker for video games, so have you played galaxyworld 4 yet?" Selena asked holding up a video game case.
"It doesn't come out for another week, how did you get a copy?" Leo jealously asked.
"Let's just say I know a person who loves the galaxyworld saga." Selena said.
"I'm in! Come on!" Leo happily exclaimed running off.
"I'm coming." Selena laughed.
She followed Leo to his room.
"Alright, put it in." Leo said closing the door and sitting down on the floor.
Selena put it in the console, turned on the T.V., grabbed her controller and sat down beside him.
"In a galaxyworld world with no name, two heroes fight for justice, the magnificent Maria and the brilliant Brad, as they battle for peace, they fight the evil lords. Will you save this galaxyworld in time, or will the evil lords crush your souls?" The narrator finished.
"I want Maria." Selena said.
"Good, because in the other galaxyworld games, Adam made me play as her." Leo said.
"Let's save the galaxyworld, Brad." Selena said giggling about Leo's comment.
Four hours later.
"Wow, level four is impossible, I'm never playing this game again." Selena said plopping on the couch.
"Me neither." Leo said plopping beside her.
Selena and Leo both sighed, then looked eye to eye.
"Again!" They both squealed with their smiles returning to there faces, getting back on there knees and restarting the level.
Just then, Chase came in the room.
"Hey Chase." Selena said staring at the screen.
"What's going on?" Chase asked.
"Wanna play?" Leo asked offering a extra controller.
"Leo, are you hitting on my girlfriend?" Chase asked.
"Chase, I swear, he wasn't hitting on me. I just wanted to play galaxyworld four with him." Selena said pausing the game and standing up.
"I love the galaxyworld saga." Chase said.
"Yeah. Cuz people who love galaxyworld games are always pointing out little problems with it and never play it because it's a waste of time." Leo said.
"You think that video games are a waste of time?" Selena asked.
"No I...." Chase said.
"Don't bother." Selena said putting the controller down and slamming the door behind her.
"Thank you Leo, because of you, I've lost the one girl who liked me." Chase said leaving the room.
"Selena, come get your game!" Leo yelled running out of the room.
Later.
"Bree, I need your help." Leo said.
"What do you need Leo?" Bree asked.
"Selena wanted to play galaxyworld four with me when Chase came in and thought I was hitting on her and I might have told Selena that Chase thought video games were a waste of time." Leo said.
"You want me to help you fix Chase and Selena's relationship?" Bree asked.
"Yes." Leo said.
"Finally, I get to help with a relationship that isn't Caitlin and Rodney's!" Bree happily exclaimed.
"Yeah, those two needed to just hug it out." Leo said.
"First, you need to apologize to Chase and Selena." Bree said.
"No fair." Leo said.
"You're the one who messed it up in the first place. Don't tell me if something's not fair." Bree said.
"Fine." Leo said.
Leo knocked on the door to his room.
"If your name starts with Leo, I don't wanna talk to you." Chase said from the other side of the door.
"Chase, let me in." Leo said.
Chase opened the door.
"So. What more damage can you do to me?" Chase asked.
"Chase, I'm sorry for messing up things between you and Selena, can you forgive me?" Leo
"No." Chase said.
"Please" Leo asked.
"No. But nice try." Chase said closing the door.
Leo grabbed the door with his bionic arm and propped it open with his bionic leg.
"Leo, just leave me alone." Chase said.
"Fine you leave me no choice. Bree!" Leo yelled.
In a second, Bree was there.
"Chase, forgive him, can't you tell he's sorry?" Bree asked.
"Fine, I forgive you Leo." Chase said.
"Did you apologize to Selena?" Bree asked.
"Yes." Leo said.
"Ok, now we need to help Chase get his girlfriend back." Bree said.
"How? She's mad at me. And girls take this stuff a bit more seriously than boys." Chase said.
"Plan a romantic dinner for her. Take her to a movie. I don't know, something nice to say you're sorry." Bree said.
"I'm new to all this. I've never had a girlfriend and Mr. Davenport is already mad that I'm dating her in the first place." Chase said.
"Chase look, I've had several boyfriends, I can help you." Bree said.
"I know! What do you think about the galaxyworld saga, not the video games, the plot." Leo asked pounding his fist into his hand.
"It's a decent plot. I just don't like the games." Chase said.
"The first galaxyworld movie is going into theaters and I just happen to have two tickets." Leo said holding them up.
"Why are you gonna give me the tickets if you've been talking about that movie for months?" Chase asked.
"Because I'm trying to make it up to you. That and Janelle had already bought tickets when I was about to surprise her." Leo said handing him the tickets.
"So.... Friday? Opening night, I'm impressed." Chase said reading them.
"Yeah, I also have reservations to the most romantic café in America." Leo said.
"I'm think that's too much, maybe just the movie would be better." Bree said.
"They aren't for him, the reservations were a hundred bucks each." Leo said.
Chase rolled his eyes.
"Alright, Friday night." Bree giggled.
Friday night.
"Is everything ready?" Chase asked.
"All you need to do is convince Selena to go to the movies Leo." Bree said.
"I'll go ahead and go." Chase said.
Leo knocked on the door.
"Go away Leo." Selena said.
"How did you know it was me?" Leo asked.
"Because you have the quietest knock in the academy." Selena said.
"I need to talk to you." Leo said.
Selena opened the door.
"So, I'm going to see the first galaxyworld movie with Janelle, I was wondering if you wanted to go with us." Leo said.
"Well I guess I could go for a movie. Alright let me change." Selena said closing the door.
"Yes." Leo whispered pumping his fist.
The movies.
"What do you mean you don't have any more tickets?!" Selena exclaimed.
Selena looked in the line to get in.
"Chase, what are you doing here?" Selena asked.
"I'm gonna see the movie. Hey, I got a extra ticket for Adam but he's busy tonight and he told me after I bought the tickets, so do you want to have Adam's ticket?" Chase asked.
"Thanks." Selena said taking the ticket.
"You're welcome." Chase said.
As soon as Selena got in the theater, the only open seat was right beside Chase.
"Hi." Selena whispered sitting down beside him.
"Hi." Chase whispered.
Two hours later.
"So Selena, what did you think about the movie?" Chase asked.
"I think the whole thing was a setup. Adam was completely free tonight. You want me to take you back and I have one thing to say about that." Selena said.
"I understand. This was Leo's plan." Chase said.
"Yes." Selena said.
"Well, we better get home." Chase said putting a arm around her.
"Ok." Selena said.
