Paige's POV

I wake up to a phone call. It was Bree telling me they were already downstairs. I sigh and get ready. I throw on a pair of light blue skinny jeans and a maroon Ivory Ella shirt. I throw my hair into a loose pony tail and apply light mascara. I throw on my white vans and grab my bag and phone and head downstairs. I kiss Chase's cheek as I sit next to him at the kitchen counter. Bree's on the other side of him and Leo is on the other side of the counter talking to us.

"After school today is the big Death Spiral Smackdown. Me and Adam are gonna unleash the fury! You guys gonna come watch?" Leo says excitedly.

"We'd love to, but Bree and I are gonna go to the mall and check out the escalator! I finally mastered the art of stepping off without tripping," Chase says smiling like a 4 year old in a candy store. I laugh patting his back.

"Ooh, um, were we supposed to do that today? Shoot, I-I can't make it. I have a really big test to study for," Bree says clearly lying.

"What?" Chase sadly says sighing, "Okay, fine, I just hope those old ladies are there again to clap for me,"

"Never had this cereal before," Leo says picking up a container and starts to put one in his mouth when Bree stops him.

"No, Leo! Those are power pellets!" she warns.

"I don't care what they're called, as long as they make my milk chocolatey," Leo says grinning from ear to ear.

"No. They are bite-sized pieces of adrenaline that activate our bionics," Chase explains.

"Yeah, but we don't eat them anymore because we learned how to activate them ourselves," Bree explains and Leo nods in understanding.

"They taste like dog treats without the livery aftertaste," Chase says happily. I raise my eyebrow at him "I'm guessing"

"Why do we still have a giant jar of them then?" I ask and they both shrug.

"Well, I guess I'll just have these," Leo says picking up a box of cereal. Chase quickly snatches them out of Leo's hand and holds them so he can't reach, almost hitting me in the face.

"Careful, Leo! Those are Powdered Sugar Cookie Donut O's. Studies have shown they slow down your brain activity," Chase warns. Just then, Adam walks in gasping.

"Yummy Powdered Sugar Cookie Donut O's!" Adam says grabbing the box and munching on them. I laugh and Bree and Chase go grab their bags.

"Grab mine too babe!" I shout after Chase.

"Yeah yeah!" He says waving me off. Adam takes Chase's spot sitting next to me. I grab a handful of Powdered Sugar Cookie Donut O's and start munching on them.

"So, Adam, here is our smackdown game plan. I will distract everyone while you use your bionics to crush our opponents," Leo says.

"I'm sorry, Leo, bionics are for missions. Using them for a school competition would just be wrong," Adam says.

"But... You have to use your bionics! It's the whole reason I chose you! It's the weapon part of our secret weapon!" Leo exclaims. I look at him with disbelief.

"Oh, bummer! You thought I was gonna use bionics, and then you blew off your old buddy Gordo! Coulda had yourself a green cape, dude," Adam says pouring his cereal, shrugging. He goes to pour the milk but Leo grabs the orange juice.

"Oh, Adam, let me help you out with that," He says pouring orange juice on Adam's cereal.

"No, no, no, what are you doing? You're ruining my cereal!" Adam says looking at Leo. .
