Present Day

They said they would come by my dorm after dinner. I can't believe I have to tell Chase about what happened to me. I mean I have to tell Adam and Bree to but I like chase and I don't want a pity party. Just then I heard a knock on my door.

"Hello?" I ask.

"It's us. Adam, Bree, and Chase."

"Come in." I tell them. I cleaned my dorm up before they got here because it was messy. They walk into my dorm and Adam almost tripped. "Did you trip on something?" I ask him. I thought my floor was clean. "I tripped over my shoe." Adam said. He looked down. Was he embarrassed?

"Um so you said you would tell us about your bionics?" Bree asked

"Wasn't it how she got her bionics?" Chase said.

"Guys! I said I would tell you about how I got my bionics and more about them." I clarify. They shut up. I took a deep breath. "I don't know if you really want me to tell you, I mean it's a pretty brutal story. I just want to say I don't want a pity party. Ok so when I was younger my parents would fight. They would fight about me. They would yell at me about not being perfect. One night it was different. I was used to them fighting but not like that. I couldn't stand it. So I tried to kill myself." I took a deep breath. "But I couldn't do it. I decided to leave. I jumped out of the window and started walking. Unfortunately, I didn't get very far. Someone grabbed me and sedated me. When I woke up, I was in Victor Krane's lair. I was like a prisoner. Eventually me and the rest of the 'bionic army' as Mr. Krane called them, trained for the war. The war was against humanity. Of course at the time we didn't know that. And you guys know what happened next." I finished my story out of breath. Adam, Bree, and Chase looked stunned. "Um, so… guys? Hello?"

Chase was the first to respond. "Um, wow, I was not expecting that." He rubbed the back of his neck. "So Krane just took you?"

"Yeah but that was over three years ago."

"Wow, that's a long time."

"Why was any of this relevant?" I looked over and realize that Bree and Adam were still frozen. "Um, Chase, why are they still frozen? Should we, like, do something? Can we mess with them?" I smirked.

"We should mess with them. How should we do that?"

"I can hit on you, they wouldn't expect that."

"True." I gave him a look. I walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek. I started curling my hair with my fingers.

"Seriously?" I walked over to him and gave him a peck on the lips.

"Ewwww get a room!" Adam and Bree said simultaneously. Chase and I started laughing.

"What am I missing here?" Adam asked. "Since when does Chase have a girlfriend? Like what happened?"

"Adam!" Chase said obviously offended. I chuckled.

"I'm leaving!" Bree said. She left with Adam following her.

As soon as they left with disgusting looks on their faces, we started to laugh.

"I can't believe they fell for that!" I said trying not to laugh anymore. Our faces were red from laughing so hard. I mean it was just to mess with Adam and Bree. Right? Just then my roommate, Ariana, came back in.

"Oh, good, you're not making out." I couldn't tell if she was serious or kidding. "Elizabeth, can I talk to you? Alone?"

"Yeah, sure. Chase you should go."

"Ok." He smiled and walked out of the room.

"What's up?" I ask Ariana.

"You and Chase?" She asks.

"Ok look we aren't really dating. But you can't tell anyone. We're trying to mess with Adam and Bree. They were making fun of Chase for being himself and they were making fun of me for something they shouldn't have been joking about. Speaking of Adam, do you have a crush on him?"

She blushed. "Well, I mean, I, maybe." She looked down defeated.

"What's wrong with liking Adam?"

"He's our mentor, I can't like him. It's against the rules."

I gave her a look. "Since when do you follow the rules?"

"Good point." We both laughed.

"Do you like Chase?" Ariana blurted out.

I blushed "Um, well, I mean were friends and were good enough friends to pretend date so I just don't want to ruin that."

"Oh ok. But I think you should tell him."

"Yeah right, I'll tell Chase when you tell Adam."

"Fine. You're on. I'll tell Adam tomorrow after training."

"Sounds good. I'll tell Chase when we were going to plan on how to mess with Adam and Bree." I pause. "What if one of us doesn't do it?"

"Then that person has to clean the bathroom."

"And if neither of us do it?"

"Then we both clean the bathroom."

"You're on."
