Bionic Heartbreak || Chase Davenport

12

As Bree and Harley were in the cafeteria in line waiting for their lunch as Perry storms up to the lunch lady.

"You double-crossed me for the last time, Flo! First, I catch you smuggling fish sticks in your pantyhose. Then you think you can walk all over me because you look debonair in a hair net?!"

The two girls look at each other before Flo drops a pile of mush on both of their plates. The two look disgusted as Bree pulls out a long strand of hair from her food. Harley shudders as she drops her lunch in the nearest trash. 

"Wow," Bree says with disgust. "Well, I guess the hairnet's just a show." Flo rolls her eyes as Bree throws the piece of hair on the ground before the two walk over to the table with the others. As Harley sat next to Chase, Bree on the other side of her, she spoke. "Heads up, stay away from Principal Perry."

"Trust me, that's the first thing I tell myself every morning when I wake up," Leo tells her.

"Really?" Adam questions. "First thing I tell myself is 'Shaving cream only looks like food'." 

Harley gives him a weird look as Perry yells at Flo again. Once Flo storms out of the cafeteria, Perry saw the confused looks coming from the teens. She marches over to them. "What are you looking at?!"

"You keep asking me that question, and I'm still not sure I can give you an honest answer," Leo replies.

"Mind your own business! If I wanted to be stared at all day, I'd still be a catalog model for 'Burt's Chainsaws'." She says before mimicking holding up a chainsaw. When she walks away, Harley looks over at Adam who was making faces.

"May I ask what you're doing?" Harley asks him.

Bree notices as well. "Why are you making faces like you're taking a selfie?"

"Cause that girl Sabrina has been checking me out." He tells them as he motions to the girl at the table behind them. "Ooh! Here she comes!" Once she got to the table, Adam spoke. "Hey, Sabrina. I couldn't help but notice you staring at me from across the room."

"Actually, I was looking at Chase."

Harley's eyes widen as she chokes on the water she was drinking. She grabs the attention of everybody around her as Bree pats her back. "Sorry. Went down the wrong pipe." She sets down the water bottle.

Adam laughs. "Oh! A sense of humor. I like it. So --"

Sabrina lets out a smile and laugh before turning to the boy who was sitting next to Harley. "Chase, I wanted to talk to you about our chemistry project."

"Sure, I'll do it for you," Chase says. "Just give me your email. I'll send it when I'm done."

She laughs. "No. I want to do the project with you."

Just like Harley, Chase chokes on his water and freezes in his chair. Harley looks between the two as her stomach churns at the look Sabrina was giving Chase. 

"I need a partner and I was hoping you would team up with me." Sabrina continues. 

The others around the table look at each other confused about what was currently happening. Chase's siblings were surprised that another girl actually wanted to hang out with Chase. Harley wanted nothing more than to kiss him right in front of Sabrina, something that Chase did during the whole Clayton situation. 

But she knew she couldn't. The two were now friends. In fact, she should be happy and supportive if Chase decides to move on. 

"Uh..." Chase pauses, not sure what to say.

Bree leans forward. "Chase, this is when you speak."

Chase snaps out of his thought and stands from the chair. "Uh, yeah. That sounds great. Meet me at my house after school?"
