Zadie's POV:
After class ended on Friday, Delta and I walked with Adam and Chase as they annoyed Bree. "Come on, Bree, we're going home now." Chase laughed. "Time to get your things out of your locker."

"Yeah, it's not like we're waiting for you to open your locker or anything." Adam stated. "I mean, open it."

"Will you leave me alone? Can I go two minutes without you two hovering around me?" Bree asked, clearly annoyed with her brothers.

"Bree, with an attitude like that, it's a wonder you don't get pranked more often." Adam told her as the two went around the corner. I swear, they are the weirdest bunch of brothers even if they didn't have bionics.

"Hey, Bree, you know how you've always said you wanted to work a part time job with me?" Caitlin asked, meeting Bree at her locker.

"I never said that." Bree deadpanned.

"Just agree with me, Bree. It'll be over quicker." Caitlin said, harshly. "Anyway, today's your lucky day because I just started my work study at Tech Town, and they're hiring."

"What's Tech Town?" Bree asked, causing Caitlin to gasp.

"It's only the most awesome store in the mall. They make you work weekends, but what do you have going on, anyway?"

"I don't know if I wanna work at an electronics store." Bree stated, as she went to leave with Delta and I.

"Oh, Bree, I need my calculator back." I reminded, already going to open her locker. The three of us girls know each other's codes and are allowed to get into each of them. I forgot about Bree's stupid brother's prank when I realized my hand was glued to the lock. "What the-?" Adam took a picture of me and was laughing when I tried to take my hand away. "Chase." I snapped. "Seriously? Glue?"

"That's quite the sticky situation you got there, Z." He laughed, nervously.

"You know what, Caitlin? I deal with this type of stuff all the time at home, and if it gets me away from my two brothers, I would take a job as a lifeguard at a sewage plant." Bree told her.

"So you're in?"

"Yeah."

"Great, see you at the store. Oh, and Tech Town's a classy place, so leave the sewer talk at school." Caitlin walked off.

"Hey, dipwads, how do I get my hand loose?" I asked, still stuck to the locker.

"Hm, not sure, but if you figure it out, let me know." Adam held up his hand which had a ton of random stuff glued to it. Adam and Chase then tried to walk off. "Don't you leave, Davenport." I warned my boyfriend.

"Good luck with that." Delta patted his shoulder as she, Bree, and Adam walked off.

"Wha-uh, guys?!" I called.

"You'll be fine. See you later!" Delta called, as she walked around the corner. I glared at her until she was out of sight, then looked at Chase with the same look.

"Would it help if I told you it was meant for Bree?" He asked, earning a slap to the back of the head.

"So, it should come off when it dries, right?" I asked, unhappily.

"Uh, yeah, I guess." He shrugged.

"How long did it say that it would take for it to fully dry?"

"Um...well, uh, not as long as the other one we were gonna use." I looked to him, wanting a straight answer. "Three hours." He mumbled.

"Three hours?" I snapped. "You have got to be kidding me." I rolled my eyes. It was becoming uncomfortable. "You, sit and lean against the locker."
