Rat Trapped

Chaper 4

School days. The days she missed so much and absolutely loved being back! Wait, I got that wrong. School days, the reasons why she instantly regretted telling a single lie to stay. Luckily for her, school wouldn't be that hard having already learned the material and sharing both math and science with a huge bionic nerd. She shared gym with Bree and Leo, but had English by herself, which was fine with her. Though, she was hoping to have a class or two with Marcus to keep an eye on him.

"You guys pumped for the concert?" Grace asked when she met up with the four bionics after classes.

"You bet! I've wanted to be part of a band for so long!" Marcus said, a little too excitedly. Nobody else noticed though, so it's cool.

"We'll be playing a song by Guns N Roses called Paradise city!" Chase chimed with a normal amount of enthusiasm. Adam was also about to say something when Leo made his way over.

"I don't get to be part of the band," Leo huffed as he crossed his arms. Grace expected that. "Apparently a cowbell isn't a 'band instrument'." Bree shook her head while Chase rolled his eyes. Grace, however, was not expecting that to be the reason. Originally, it had to do with the fact that Marcus's smashed guitar was blamed on him. Had her one day of being here really caused that much of a difference? Yes, you little moron, yes it did.

As a small argument broke out about whether or not a cowbell could be an instrument, Grace thought over what had changed and what she knew about Marcus. Leo would probably be less suspicious since the guitar was never broken. That would most likely be trouble for everyone else since he has a lower chance of finding out about the bionics, thus leading to a much easier win for Douglas.

She broke apart the argument that, surprisingly, was still going on. "Hey, Bree, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure thing!" She seemed relieved to have an excuse to leave the four boys to their bickering. Though, it looked like it ended when the two left the group. "What's up?"

Grace looked back at Marcus before turning back to Bree. "Can we go outside to talk?" She awkwardly pointed towards the door and added in a whisper, "I'd just like a certain someone not to hear me." Bree shrugged and followed her out into the open air.

"So, who is it that you didn't want to hear you?"

"Marcus."

Bree was metaphorically shocked. "Do you have a crush on Marcus?"

"What? No! I'm 18, dude. And he's like, what, 15? Why would you immediately jump to that?"

"You did say he was your favourite."

"True." Grace switched back to serious mode. "But this isn't about him being my favourite. You need to keep an eye on him."

Bree, understandably confused by the vagueness, but a little concerned, asked, "Why? Is something going to happen to him?"

Grace looked around, unsure of how to answer. "Well, yes, but we need to keep an eye on him for different reasons. And that reason?" She was pacing at this point, gesturing wildly with her arms. Bree was more confused now than before she asked. "Leo has a sixth sense and he was right about Marcus. I think he might be better with Marcus now that I'm here coz I did accidentally messed some things up just by being here. Now I don't know whether or not Marcus is gonna die-" That wasn't suppose to come out.

"What!?" Bree whispered in surprise.

"Alright, don't freak out, he comes back after about a year or two."

"...what?"

"Remember how I was from another universe and know the future of everyone? Well, get ready to learn-"

"Aha!" a wild Leo appeared from behind one of the fake school bushes. "I knew there was something off about you!" He went into interrogation mode, which, of course, meant getting in Grace's face and shouting questions. "Where are you from? Who are you really? If you know the future do you know what I'm gonna have fore breakfast tomorrow?"

"A different universe where this is a TV show, I am who I said I am, and I have no freaking clue!" Grace shouted back in his face. Bree Decided to intervene at this time before anymore yelling took place.

"Stop shouting someone might hear you two!" She stood between the yelling dweebs and gave each a glare.

"Why are you taking her side?"

"Because freaking Marcus is freaking evil, panic at the everywhere!" Both of the show dwellers gave a questioning stare to the foreign girl. "He's evil, Leo was right all along, and we have to keep an eye on him." Leo did a little 'yes' motion where it looks like you're pulling something down from the sky; you know what that is hopefully.

"I thought you said he was your favourite?"

"We've already established that. My favourites happen to be evil dudes with dark hair in fictional universes. Nobody can compare to Loki." Grace started pacing again. "We need to keep an eye on him. Leo-" finger point to small child –"do not let Davenport take you away from Marcus for a talk. That leads to bad things."

Davenport pulled up in his Davencar and parked in a parking spot, as you do when arriving somewhere. Though, not everyone takes up two spots to stay away from the other cars, but that's not really important. He jogged up to the three teens with his 'concert in a can' invention in his hand. "Guys, what are you doing outside? There's about to be a party for career day!" He ran inside excitedly.

"That's right! We'll have to talk about this later." –Bree 2012

"Hey, we're going with you to watch captain eyebrow."

"You do that. Imma be jamming out to paradise city! Even though I never actually listened to it and have no idea what it sound like." Bree shook her head and headed inside. Leo sent a small glare/questioning stare to Grace who only responded with a shrug before entering the school again with the girl following behind.

Bree was proud to present Davenport for career day, and Grace and Leo did as they said they would. So far, this whole 'messing up the show' thing is working out and our old friend Riley from the first chapter hasn't been brought up yet.

Little moron Grace is.
