The One With the Helicopter

Delta's POV:

Saturday couldn't have come fast enough.

School had officially reached the point where every class felt three hours long and Principal Perry found new ways to make us question our safety evey day.

The upside to it all?

Adam.

I met Zadie in my driveway. She sat in the driver's side, an iced coffee in one hand, sunglasses perched on top of her head, and music blaring so loud our neighbors could hear.

"You're in a good mood." I pointed out.

She looked somewhat offended.

"Oh, please. I'm always in a good mood."

I shot her a look.

"How's the boyfriend?" She asked.

I quipped back, "how's the crush?"

"I told you...I don't have a crush on Chase."

"Ah..." I slowly nodded. "Is that why you did your make up on a Saturday? Because you don't have a crush on Chase?"

Her face fell. "Get in."

We reached the Davenport house, and like always, Zadie skipped the whole knocking thing and walked right inside.

I laughed.

"You know, one of these days they're gonna lock us out."

"They won't."

"Morning, girls!" Tasha called back.

Zadie looked at me.

I rolled my eyes.

"You are way too comfortable here."

"So are you."

The two of us headed down to the lab, where Bree was pacing with her phone pressed against her ear.

"Caitlin, calm down. Okay? Calm down."

"Ooh," I mumbled, "I heard Rodney broke up with her."

Zadie looked over, "Again?"

Chase loudly mocked Bree, "Yeah Caitlin, calm down!"

"Yeah, you need to chill out!" Adam got in on it, too.

Bree shot both of them a look as she continued to comfort Caitlin.

"Rodney breaks up with you every two weeks. That is like, totally normal."

Either Bree's volume was turned up all the way, or Caitlin is just that loud.

"No, no, don't cry." Bree tried to console her. Then, we heard a scream from the other end. "Okay, scream."

She winced, "Screaming is good."

"Yeah, screaming is so good!" Chase said, letting out a scream of his own.

"I am so sick of you!" Bree snapped at her brothers. She quickly brought the phone back to her ear. "No, no, no, I'm not sick of you Caitlin. Maybe Rodney just needs some space."

"Yeah, maybe Rodney's an astronaut." Chase suggested.

"Yeah! Maybe he dumped Caitlin for a one-eyed Martian girl." Adam added.

Zadie leaned over to me.

"They're terrible."

I shook my head. "Should we intervene?"

"Absolutely not."

"Caitlin, hold on."

Bree shot one last glare at her brothers before stepping into her capsule.
