Caught His Eye

A.N. This is my other Lab Rats story. It's Adam/OC. Enjoy this, because I know where to go with this and I think you will like it. 5 or more comments for the next chapter.

Adam watched as Bree spoke with Owen, not really hearing what they were saying over the noise of other people in the cafeteria, despite them sitting across from him on the small table. Chase was busy reading some thick book that Ada didn't even bother to look at; it made his brain hurt just by seeing the thickness of the book. Leo was kept at home when he showed signs of a fever. All Adam felt like doing was picking at his food, wishing that he could get into gym class sooner.

In all truth, Adam felt like he wanted something like what Bree had. Someone to be his and to make him happy. It was nice to have his siblings around and hang out with them; although he was constantly belittled because of his stupidity, Adam just wanted some different company.

The school bell finally rang; Bree had been walked to gym by Owen, Chase split off to sit in the corner of the gym to read and Adam instantly hit the weights area. Gym was by far Adam's favourite subject; he never used his bionics but also never needed to. Adam was already strong naturally.

He was bench pressing about 50 kilos, when something caught his eye and made him remember (luckily) to put the weights back above his head where it was meant to. Directly across from the room was the artificial light from the hallway, in front of the quickly closing doors was a girl. She looked around Bree's age but was shorter than Chase.

Adam sat up to get a better look at her. She was now not far from his vision and he could see her more clearly.

She was just taller than five feet, definitely shorter than Chase, with long dark brown hair that went halfway down her back; her skin was extremely pale, free of any blemish. Adam smiled at her as she walked by him to sit in a corner, pulling out a book, thinner than the one Chase held but still fairly thick.

'Great, she'll be perfect for Chase.' Adam thought, surprised that he didn't say anything aloud when he usually spoke everything he thought. Adam just shook his head; disappointed that a girl who he thought looked cute would be better for his three year younger brother, trying to take his mind off of the girl.

After gym was Math; the one subject Adam detested out of everything and was also the worst at. Adam walked slowly from his locker to his Math class on the second floor, arriving shortly before his teacher entered the room.

Just as she started her lesson when she thought everyone was in the room, a knock sounded from the other side of the closed classroom door. When the person entered the room, Adam instantly looked up, paying even less attention to his work than he thought possible.

It was the girl from gym class that had walked through the door and greeted the teacher with a small smile and move of her lips, saying something Adam couldn't hear. Apparently she wasn't Chase's age; she must have been closer to his age.

The girl nodded her head when the teacher had assigned her seat; right beside Adam next to the window. She put her books down on the desk and pulled out her pencil, books and calculator. Adam now wasn't even anywhere near attentive to the lesson, not that he was before anyway. He just put his head down, drawing on the side of his notebook.

"Hello." A shy, extremely quiet voice said in a whisper so quiet that Adam barely heard it. He looked beside him to the girl, who had a tight lipped smile directed at him.

"Hi." He replied, not totally sure if she was talking to him. It hadn't dawned on him that no one was near them since everyone tried to avoid the three bionic kids and Leo.

"I'm Danielle." Adam tried to not break out a massive smile. He picked up that she had a British accent; something that made her sound even sweeter than she looked.

"I'm Adam." Danielle then turned back to the front of the room to look like she was paying attention to the teacher, but she already knew everything that was being taught. She would know everything taught for every subject; her memory was impeccable.

Adam actually tried to concentrate to work, seeing that Danielle was speeding through her work quickly; but he just couldn't understand what anything meant.

It was 3 o'clock before Adam even knew what happened; it was when Danielle floated (in his mind) out of the room as soon as the bell rang. He gathered his books and raced out after her, catching up with her at the centre piece near the entrance to the school. She turned to Adam when he called out her name.

"I was wondering if you maybe want to hang out sometime?" Danielle smiled as Adam dropped his head and shoved his hands in his back pockets at his statement that was more like a question. He didn't look up until Danielle answered.

"I would love to Adam; you're the first person that has tried to make friends with me. How is this Saturday?" She smiled when Adam nodded and said goodbye to him; he smiled and his cheeks went a light pink.

Chase was the first to approach Adam, knocking him out of his thought of Danielle's smile.

"Are you okay?" Chase raised both of his eyebrows at his older brother. Adam nodded while walking to his locker; shoving all of his books inside when he opened it. His bag was empty, except for a single chocolate bar, which he pulled out and ate it before getting into his newly acquired car that Davenport had brought him; one that Tasha had picked out.

Adam rushed up to his room, shutting his door behind him and grabbed his sketch pad. Not noticing what he was doing, he drew a perfect portrait of Danielle.
