Bionic Baby Steps (Chase Davenport)

School Dance

I walked into school with a spring in my step, today I figured was the perfect opportunity to try and further my...' relationship ' with Chase. The school's dance was coming up, so I'm going to ask Chase to be my date. I just hope I get to it before somebody else does. I spot just the man I was looking for stood by the lockers with Adam and Leo. So I walk straight over there.

"Guys?" Leo calls their attention as I stop beside Chase, throwing a quick smile at him. "With the dance coming up, I thought you could use a lesson on how to ask a lady out."

I hold back the laugh threatening to bust out.

"Oh great, do you know a guy who can teach us?" Adam asks.

Leo looks at them exasperated, "Me."
The boys look at me as I hold my hands up. I had no part in this but I was more than happy to get sidetracked from my mission to watch this train wreck.

"You're going to watch me, ask out the girl of my dreams. Danielle." He trailed off dreamily.

"Danielle, isn't she the girl that uses you as a footstool in math class?" Chase asks. I have math with them, I've seen it. And he's surprisingly sturdy to stay up like that for so long.

"Where else is she supposed to put her feet? On the floor?" He remarks back.

"Like a normal person? Shocker!" I fake gasp. I couldn't stand this girl. Walking all over guys because she knows they worship her looks. Most of all she loves causing drama. "Open your notebooks, boys. Cause class is in session." Leo smirks, walking over to the bench she's currently sat on.

I lose interest quickly and tug on Chase's shirt lightly. He turns to me with a smile on his face.

"What's up Serena?" He asks me.
"Well Chase, I was wondering... Would you wanna go to that dance with me maybe?" I ask, biting my lip lightly as I await his response.

His smiles growing more, "Yeah, that be great."

"Awesome, so I'll see you later. Let me know how this," I point towards the scene of Leo before, "Ends." I give him a quick kiss on the cheek before dashing off up the stairs. As I turn to the next flight, I look down to see Chase smiling broadly at Adam, holding his cheek. I giggle to myself, then took the next flight of stairs to class.

I spot Bree down the hallway, looking a little glum. "Hey Bree, you okay?" I ask her as I stop next to her.

"No," she moaned. "Ethan was going to ask me to the dance, and I totally glitched out and ran away."

"He didn't see it did he?"
"No, but I feel like a total idiot."

I smile at her sad face, I know she really likes this guy. "Its okay Bree, you'll get another chance. You can always ask him to the dance?" I suggested.

"You're right! I could do that!" She pulled me into a big hug, I chuckled as I hugged her back smiling. "How did it go for you anyway? Did you ask that guy you wanted to?"

"Yep, and he said yes!" I squealed. Wow. I never squeal. I'm acting like a total girl around Chase. "Omg, yes. That's amazing Serena! Now, will you tell me who it is?" She begs me. Well, why not. It might cheer her up.

"Well.... don't freak out. But, I actually asked Chase to the dance... Surprise!" I smile at her nervously, doing small jazz hands. Her face first turns to shock, then disgust and then back to a happy squeal, "Oh my God, I knew you liked each other. It was so obvious. I'm so happy for you. Now we totally have to go dress shopping tomorrow."

"Yeah of course," I smile at her brightly. " But first I have band practice. Wanna come to watch? We're performing the night of the dance. Just one song."

"Please!!" She squealed following me. I take her into the music room where the band's all set up. She takes a seat by the door as I stand behind the microphone and the song begins to play.

Heart attack by Demi Lovato

Putting my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack

Never put my love out on the line
Never said yes to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I'm never good enough
When I don't care
I can play 'm like a Ken doll
Won't wash my hair
Then make em bounce like a basketball

But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Yeah you, make me so nervous
That I just can't hold your hand

You make me glow, but I cover up
Won't let it show, so I'm
Putting my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack

Never break a sweat for the other guy
And when you come around, I get paralysed
And every time I try to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for help
It's just not fair
Pains more trouble than it all is worth
I gasp for air

Feels so good, but You know it hurts

But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear perfume
Boy you, make me so nervous
That I just can't hold your hand

You make me glow, but I cover up
Won't let it show, so I'm
Putting my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack

The feelings are lost in my lungs
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
And there's no one else to blame
So scared I'll take off in a run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I'll burst into flames

You make me glow, but I cover up
Won't let it show, so I'm
Putting my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack

I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack

I finish the song out of breath. Bree clapping her hands furiously, beaming.

"That was amazing!" She exclaimed, running over to me with a huge smile.

"Thanks, I'm either using that or another song. But we'll decide on the night." I replied, happy she liked it.

"Come on, we better get outta here" she pulls me along
