She's Not Bionic

Chapter 2: "Bree!"

Chase’s pov

I know I shouldn’t be doing this, but im listening to Bree’s conversation with her friend Danielle

“I have a crush..on this guy” Bree said

of course she does, I will never have a chance. Im just the nerdy new kid

“on who?” Danielle asked

“he isn’t popular though, he’s kinda new to the school” Bree confessed

“me too actually” Danielle also confessed

“and he’s what you would call a nerd” Bree said

“if anyone finds out, we are dead” Danielle said serious. What is up with this school

“I know, and the only reason im popular is because im the best cheerleader. What are we going to do?” Bree worried

“well, I don’t know” Danielle said

is it possible

“and I think he might like me” Bree said

if shes talking about me there shouldn’t be a ‘might’ in that sentence

“well who is it?” Danielle asked

“ill tell you if you tell me” Bree compromised

“I don’t know his name” Danielle informed bree

“same here, but I talked to him earlier today” Bree brightened up

“oh, those three” Danielle said

“yeah” Bree sighed

“I like one of them” Danielle said

really, one of us?

“you do…which one”-

she was interrupted by the stupid bell..or me.

AH I hate the bell. I fell to the floor cluching my ears, sometimes I hate having bionics. But at least one good thing happened. At least I think its good. Bree ran up to me with concern on her face.

“are you ok?!” Bree asked

“Bree! What are you doing?!” Caitlyn yelled

“being a good person” Bree said

“I can kick you off the team you know” Caitlyn threatened

“I don’t care. We all know you cant win without me” Bree said. And that was enough for Caitlyn run off

…

“im fine” I finally got the energy to say

“but what happened?” she asked

it’s a good thing its just the two of us

“umm. I cant really tell you” I said

“hm take my hand” she said

I take her hand and she helps me up

“thanks but I can deal with it, plus you shouldn’t be seen with me anyways” I said

“I don’t care, im nothing like them” she said

well I believe that

“are you sure?” I asked making sure she really wanted to

“yes im sure-“ I interrupted her

“thank you but I should get going” I thanked her (it was the end of the day) and I start to walk away, I didn’t want to but I felt like I had to, what if she was just pitying me.

“wait!” she yelled as she caught up with me. And because of my bionic hearing it hurt almost as much as before I was about to fall but Bree caught me in her arms. I did enjoy it. It felt so right having her this close to me. Yet so wrong, because of our social rankings.

“what is going on with you” she said sad

“I wish I could tell you”

“well can I at least walk you home?” Bree nervously asked me. Really, shes the one nervous. I should be the one who is nervous. I know I heard her say she liked me but…

…

I let Bree walk me home and we are just talking and lucky for me she was still wearing her cheerleading uniform and I don’t know what just happened but suddenly she grabbed my hand. All of a sudden I got all self conscious about my hand and I think Bree could tell because she pulled away her hand and apologized while blushing.

“no, its fine. I liked it” I blushed

“why cant all guys be like you” she blushed

“nerdy?” I laughed

“no, I don’t think you’re nerdy, im talking about sweet” she smiled at me

“im sweet?” I asked

“yes, all of the guys at our school are jerks…most only wanted to date me just to use me” Bree teared up

“why would people do that to you?” I frowned

“just to get a higher social ranking. Once people found out that they dated me they are automatically popular. Its why I stopped dating” she explained

I was brought out of my own thoughts when Bree’s phone started ringing

Bree’s pov

I was walking Chase home and did the stupidest things ever! First I suddenly grabbed his hand and then after I said that I stopped dating! How stupid can I get! This day better get better. My phone started ringing and I pulled it out of my pocket and it was mom.

“Hello” I said into my phone (the italics is Bree’s mom)

‘hey sweetie, I know this is short notice but your father and I wont be home until tomorrow so you will need to stay at a friends house’

‘why cant I just stay at home?’

‘I would feel more comfortable if you stayed with a friend’

…

“umm Chase” i said nervously

“yeah” he replied

“we are friends now right?” i clarified

“I would hope so”

“my parents don’t want me to stay home alone and my friend Kim is out of town so would it be too much to ask if I could stay at your house” Bree said trying to hide her face

“um I don’t know, we can ask when we get there. I don’t mind. I know they will at least let you stay for dinner” he said and then scratched the back of his head

...

when we got to his house and he stopped us

“I know you have met my brothers but they are going to freak that we are friends” Chase warned me

he showed me into his house and his tallest brother was playing video games and shouting at the tv

“ok he’s loud” I covered my ears

“I’ll take care of him…Adam be quiet we have a guest” Chase explained

“why would we have a guest” Adam said with his eyes never leaving the screen

“who its not like you have any friends” Adam laughed

“I do have a friend” Chase said proudly

I am currently hiding behind the couch like Chase asked me to

“he must be a nerd” Adam laughed

“he, is a she, and she’s not a nerd” Chase smiled

“oh and where is ‘she’” Adam hand quotes ‘she’

“’she’ is right here. Stand up.” Chase signaled me to stand up from behind the couch

“Bree!” Adam yelled
