My Hero (Lab Rats: Season 1/Chase Davenport Love Story)

Chapter 6: Smart and Smarter

Paige's POV

Bree and I walk into school and see Adam at his locker.

"Hey Adam," I say as we reach him.

"Check out what I've done with my locker!" He says motioning to his locker and opening it. "Tah-dah! Here's where I keep my books. Down here I keep random strands of hair I've collected to make fake mustaches. And here is where I stockpile old lunches, or, as I like to call it, my tum-tum yum-yums," I gag at the last part.

"Hey Leo. What's that?" Bree asks as Leo walks over to us, holding his progress report.

"My progress report. I can't believe my science teacher says I'm always late for class!" He complains

"Well, you are always late to class," I point out.

"I know that, but I don't need it publicized," Leo snaps and I hold my hands up in surrender.

Chase storms over to us holding his progress report. "Look at this! An 'A-minus'! I knew my Home Ec teacher had it out for me. Always criticizing my muffins," He complains.

"Ha ha! I beat you! I got a 'D-plus'! 'Plus' because I'm better!" Adam says. We all look at him.

"Adam, the 'plus' is-- you know what? It's just not even worth it anymore," I say laughing.

"'D' is not a good grade, but we don't really expect you to get good grades." Chase says reassuring Adam "But I'm engineered to be the smartest person on the planet, and I just got an 'A-minus.' I've been relegated into the huddled, unwashed masses of minuses, like you!" Chase says pointing to us. I glare at him.

"Excuse me? I got all A-pluses," I say. Bree high fives me and Chase glares at me sitting on the bench. I sit next to him and hold his hand.

"Chase, I know this must be hard for you, but, I mean, look on the bright side-- seeing you fall flat on your face is really fun for us!" Bree exclaims. He glares at her.

"I have to find a way to reclaim my superiority," Chase says sighing.

"Well, you could sign up for the Student of the Semester Competition," Leo suggests. I sigh.

"What's that?" Chase says curiously.

"Every semester, kids compete to see who can best improve the school. Whoever gets the most votes wins free pencils, a bumper sticker, and a cheesy picture of himself on the wall!" I explain pointing to the wall by the staircase.

"And that cheesy picture will show everyone that my brilliance reigns supreme! I am so gonna win!" Chase says standing up and letting go of my hand.

"I call your free pencils! No, wait, I'll take the cheesy picture. Oh gosh, they both sound so good!" Adam says unable to make up his mind. I laugh and the bells rings. Chase and Adam look at each other and says "Race ya'!" And they run off to their next class.

"Oh, no. Science class is all the way at the other side of the school. If I'm late again, I'm gonna get detention. Unless...."

"Unless what?" I say curiously.

"I don't want to sound crazy, but can you use your bionic speed to rocket me over to science class while I ride on your back like a fighter pilot?" Leo says talking to Bree. I roll my eyes.

"What? No way," Bree says.

"Pleeeaaase? It's the only way I'll make it on time," Leo says.

"Leo, she's a girl, not a method of public transportation. Besides, no one can see her using bionics," I say, Bree nodding.
