(A/N) Hey everyone! This is going to be my first one-shot, mini-series, horrible attempt, whatever you want to call it. I'm using this as a sort of tester-go to see if anyone would actually enjoy reading my fics and if I will actually have the time to write them. I'm trying to decide on whether I should type everything on my computer first and then copy it all onto here at once so you guys aren't left on agonizing cliff-hangers and get to read more at once or if I should just upload it as I write it. I'd love your feedback and suggestions on this and will try to answer as much as possible. Just so you guys know, I am not writing myself into the story. This is an xReader fic, so (maybe later on) there will be things like (y/n) and (h/c). These two examples mean 'your name' and 'hair color' for you newbies (I had a hard time myself, lol) and most others are just easy to figure out based on the context. Anyway, hope you guys like, enjoy. :)

I glanced behind my shoulder at Chase. He hadn't noticed, but I had been looking his way for a few weeks. Ever since I moved here, I'd liked him. He was funny and smart, cute, just a great guy, even if he was a bit oblivious. He and his siblings had been nice to me as I settled into Mission Creek High, and with all this new bionic publicity, I felt like it would be a good opportunity to get over myself and make sure he knew that not everyone was afraid of them…

I glanced again, still very nervous. As I did, I caught the eye of his brother, Adam, making some very strange faces. Knowing that if I didn't do it now I would never bring myself to, I stood up from my table and pushed my seat in, telling my friends I would see them later. As I walked over, Adam stood to meet me, smiling as if he was honored to be graced by my presence. "Hey, (y/n)! I couldn't help but notice you, uh, staring at me from across the room," he said smugly. "Aehh…," I began awkwardly. "Actually, I was looking at Chase." His face brightened. "Oh-ho! A sense of humor! I like it! So-" he began but I cut him off and turned around to face his brother.

"Chase, I wanted to talk to you about out chemistry project." He nodded as if he was asked to do this kind of stuff every day and said, "Sure, I'll do it for you." He turned back to his food and began to prepare his fork for his next bite. "Just give me your e-mail and I'll send it to you when I'm done," he finished, punctuating his statement with a swig from his cup. "No," I corrected. "I want to do the project with you." Chase choked on his drink, spitting it back into his cup. "I needed a partner, and I was hoping you would team up with me," I stated, earning me dead silence and a surprised look from everyone at the table, especially Chase who sat there dumbfounded at my request.

"Chase," Bree prompted, "This is when you speak." Slowly, he got up from the table to talk to me face-to-face. "Uh," he began. "Yeah, yeah that sounds great." I smiled. "Um, meet at my house after school?" he asked. "Perfect," I replied smiling, brushing my (h/c) hair out of my face behind my ear. We nodded to each other and I walked away, feeling as though I had just planned an entire afternoon of awkward for myself. I glanced back as I walked and saw Chase freaking out while his siblings just stared on in disbelief.

This is going to be fun, I thought sarcastically.

-oOoOo-

I texted my mom while I walked out the front doors of the school.

Hey mom. Gonna be coming home around 10-ish. Gotta work on a science project with my partner.

This is really late notice sweetie. Why didn't you tell me sooner?

I only found out today.

Don't worry about me mom. I promise I'll be careful and responsible. I'll even stop at someplace like Biggie Burger for dinner so you don't have to worry about fixing mine. Go on a date with dad or something. I'll have my phone on me and you can call at any time.

Oh, my little girl is so grown up… OK, just be safe and be back home by 10. Call me when you leave so I know when to expect you, and if anything happens, don't be afraid to call.

OK mom, I will. See you tonight.

Love you :)

Love you too :)

I turned off my phone and slid it into my pocket as I got on my mint moped. After taking the helmet off the handlebar, I strapped it into place and took off towards the Davenport mansion

(A/N) I know it's short, but the later chapters will be longer - I promise. For a first chapter and three layers of spell-check, grammar-check, and overall likingness, I think this has done pretty well. I hope you guys like, R&R, and look out for my next chapter soon!. I will not have a set release date for each chapter, but with school almost out, I will get them out sooner. This was not planned to be a real chapter story, but rather an alternate ending, so I won't continue it beyond the end of the episode it was based on. Anyway, thanks, and I hope to hear from you!
