A.N. Written on my iPad so I'm sorry if the paragraphs are short. This was meant to just be a filler chapter, but then it came to this, closer to 2,000 words. Oops! The next chapter will be up after 5 or more reviews. I'll start writing it soon. You'll love it, I'm sure. Random note: I finally got my Learners licence today, which I was meant to get in 2012 (I can't say last year anymore!), so yeah, GREAT day for me! Enjoy this guys. I hope you like it, I actually do.
Three days since he had met Danielle, one day until they would hang out together. Adam had been going through his mind about what to say and do on the Saturday.
Adam didn't like knowing what to do (despite not knowing a lot, he knew hanging out with a girl was different),and that was when Tasha had sat down to talk with her oldest bionic step son.
It was Friday morning, and for some reason Adam had decided to wake up early and just lounge around until he should get ready for school. He had no clue why he was up at almost 5:30 in the morning; maybe nerves were getting ahold on him?
That was when Tasha had stepped down the stairs and found Adam watching early morning cartoons on the large screen television in the living room. She greeted him with a 'Good morning' which Adam mumbled back to her in reply. Tasha was sure it wasn't because of the cartoons that he seemed so distracted.
"Are you nervous about tomorrow?" Asked Tasha as she sat down beside Adam with a cup of coffee in her favourite mug (yes, she had a favourite mug that no one else could use). Adam's left eye twitched so quickly that Tasha almost didn't catch it before he replied.
"No, I'm not nervous." Adam moved back on the couch from his hunched over sitting position to his back on the corner of the arm and back of the chair and his feet crossed on the soft fluffy mat in front of the couch. His arms were behind his head.
"Well, okay then," replied Tasha before sipping on her coffee for a few moments then setting in down on the small table beside the couch. "But just so you know, it's normal to be nervous about your first date."
"It's not a date!" Adam snapped, almost yelling, then realising how early it was, whispered harshly to Tasha. She held both hands up as if she would leave the matter alone.
"Okay," she nodded slowly to Adam who held a hand over his mouth and looked at her with sad eyes. He hated yelling, especially at Tasha when he knew she was only trying to help him.
"I was just going to say that you should try to make the girl comfortable around you." Continued Tasha, picking her words carefully. "Then hopefully you won't glitch if anything happens."
Adam was smart enough to know that if he glitched on, whatever was happening the next day was, his 'thing' with Danielle would be over instantly. She'd run off screaming, Adam would have to explain to Davenport what happened and then who knows what? Would she rat them out, would she just not talk to any of the bionic kids again because she was scared to be set on fire or something?
He didn't want to think about that.
Adam didn't say anything, and continued to look as if he was watching cartoons. Tasha didn't say anything else, knowing she would either upset him or cause part of her couch to feel Adam's heat vision out of anger for pushing him. She knew he was thinking about the girl, he just didn't want to show it.
No one else had awoken until about 6:30, Adam actually enjoyed the peace and quiet and wondered why he never sat back and thought about anything for long periods of time.
'I know why,' his mind thought, 'it's because there's usually no time to think. And it hurts too, OUCH!' Adam's mind was right again, it DID hurt to think! He wondered for a moment how Chase could put up with his brain power before he realised it fit him perfectly. Just like Adam being strong fit him perfectly. Yeah, it really doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
Chase was the first one to tiredly walk down the stairs, and Adam had considered tripping his younger brother on the way down but decided against it. Chase looked around the room and saw Adam smiling at him, it looked like his mischievous smile and Chase began to wondering if Adam had something planned for him.
"Hey," Chase said to his brother and he slowly walked to the fridge nearby. Maybe something would be thrown at his face front he inside? No, Adam wasn't smart enough for that.
The fridge opened and nothing came out, Chase then took his opportunity to quickly grab the milk and fix himself a bowl of cereal before anything did happen.
Adam joined his brother soon after, both eating in silence until Bree had decided to super speed down the stairs to where her bionic brothers where. She studied them, finding that Adam had a strange smile on his face and that she had accidentally (okay, on purpose) knocked Chase's bowl of cereal off of the counter and all over his shirt and jeans.
"Thank you, Bree!" Chase stated sarcastically to his sister. Adam looked at Chase strangely.
"Why are you thanking her, she ruined your clothes?" Chase and Bree didn't even bother answering Adam, Bree finished her cereal quickly while Chase stomped up the stairs to change his white and blue striped shirt of a button up green plaid shirt.
Not long after that, Leo had walked down stairs, already dressed, rubbing his eyes. It was now 8:20, the time that had passed was Davenport rushing out saying about an accident had occurred at work and the bionic siblings chatting before Leo went downstairs to join them.
Leo, being even late at rising from his be than he planned to, had to rush to get ready, had regretted gulping down mouthfuls of cereal and milk too quickly. Especially since Davenport, in his rush out of the house, had grabbed Adam's car keys instead of his self driving car's key. Davenport just had to trust that the teens could be responsible with his car.
Leo, feeling very sick, was also grumpy from deciding to stay up until almost 3 am that morning, reading some comic book no one knew about. First period had begun almost as soon as the four teens entered the school, and all of them rushed off in different directions, hoping to not be late.
Adam had Math first, one subject that he hated but was always happy to get it out of the way first on a Friday. He smiled at the sight that greeted him, Danielle sat at her desk beside Adam's and was getting everything she needed ready for the class.
She looked to see Adam sitting down beside her and greeted him with a smile and a 'Hello' to go with it. Adam quietly replied back and tried not to break out into a smile. He actually really loved hearing her speak.
As usual, except for occasionally talking to Danielle when she was done with her work, math was just a boring to Adam and he looked forward to gym class later on.
Math and gym were the only subjects Adam had with Danielle, so the only way Adam could really talk to her was at lunch. She started to sit with them on her second day and almost everyone welcomed her. Yes, the person who didn't was Leo, he was suspicious about her. But after the whole situation with Marcus, no one could blame him.
Leo always asked her questions, like where was she from, what was her birthday, why did she move to Mission Creek of all places in the world. Adam nearly glitched, getting mad at his step brother for pestering the girl he might have had small feelings for. Chase suggested Adam went and cooled off outside of the cafeteria.
He left the table, along with all of his belongings, and sat at the centrepiece. He hadn't expected someone to follow him out, much less Bree to sit beside him and stare at him for a while.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Adam sounded upset and couldn't place why, he sounded like a child that didn't get what they asked Santa for on Christmas morning.
"I just wondering about you." Bree started to explain, then paused for a few seconds. "And about how you feel about Danielle."
Adam couldn't help but smile a little at hearing her name being said by Bree. It was true that Adam loved both of his siblings and Leo. But he shared something with Bree that he couldn't with Chase (and Chase was the same with Bree in regards to Adam as well). Bree was the sister, so any problems with girls, Adam always figured he'd go to her at some point.
"Do you like her?" Asked Bree, causing Adam to look up from his spot he was staring at on the floor to his sister. Adam couldn't find any words to answer Bree, he was lucky that he didn't have to.
"I see how you look at her." Bree began to explain. "You always have a smile you don't have with anyone else, and you actually pay more attention to her than anyone else."
Adam looked away again, back down to the floor. He didn't want to say anything to Bree about this, but he knew she would feel like she needed to speak with him.
"It's okay to admit that you might like her." Bree put her hand on Adam's shoulder and held it there.
"How about we tell her to come over tomorrow, that way she can meet Mr Davenport and Tasha?" Bree suggested almost in a whisper she added. "And they can then see how much she likes your family and you like her."
Adam smiled at Bree and quickly hugged her as the bell rang for next period. Everyone in the hallways went to their classes, some (like Adam) went slower for various reasons.
The rest of the day had passed uneventfully. Leo was still questioning Danielle, and Adam defended her. Chase and Bree shared a small unnoticed smile with each other in appreciation for their brother sticking up for their new friend, and someone that he might be interested in.
But the next day was one that Adam was looking forward to. He had told Danielle about going to his house and she agreed to the arrangement to be there at about 2pm. Adam had quickly called Davenport and surprisingly he had allowed Adam to do so. That left enough time for everyone to help clean, have lunch, then do what they would like to on Saturday before she arrived.
Yeah, Adam had a feeling it was going to be a good day for him. He settled into bed that night and managed to sleep, even though he thought he wouldn't be able to.
