Angela's POV:

We walked all the way to their house (or, should I say mansion). We all laughed and cracked a few jokes along the way, and I have to say it was nice. It was hard to believe I had made friends on the first day of school. They made me feel comfortable and that fitting in wasn't going to be as hard as I thought it was going to be. I gaped at how HUGE their house was. There was even a motorcycle parked out front. "Wow. This is awesome," I remarked.

"Wait til' you see the inside," Chase replied. I couldn't wait to see the inside. He opened the door for me and I gasped. It was even bigger on the inside. Who knows how many rooms were in here. I liked learning that they were obviously rich. It only painted them in a more positive light. They were rich, but it didn't seem like they went around bragging about it. It didn't seem like they acted spoiled and snotty about it. Most rich kids at my old school were like that. I set my backpack down next to the door.

"Adam, Bree, Chase is that you?" A voice called.

"And Leo!" Leo called back. A man with black hair and some sort of contraption on his head appeared.

He scanned our faces, and when he got to mine, his eyes widened. "And who are you?"

"I'm Angela Summers. I'm assuming you're Mr. Davenport?"

"Why, yes I am." He smiled. "Excuse us, Angela. We need to have a family meeting."

Adam groaned. "Again? That's the second one today!" He complained. I nodded and they all walked away.

I sat down on the couch, and jumped when I heard another voice. "Helloooooooo!" The voice sounded high-pitched. I looked around for the source of it. "I'm over here, dummy." My eyes found a screen on the wall. It was shaped kinda like some sort of E. It had a face and a shirt on.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm E.D.D.Y. and who are you?" I was about to reply, but he interrupted me. "Let me guess. You got paid to walk home with those brats and be their friend. How much are they paying you?"

"Excuse me?"

"C'mon, how much? 10 dollars? 20 dollars? Whatever amount they're paying you, it's not worth it." This thing was starting to get on my nerves.

"They aren't paying me….."

He interrupted again. "Have you considered dying your brown hair purple?"

"Um, no why?"

"It would distract people from your ugly face."

"Do you have a mute button?"

"Nope. There's a way to shut me off, but I won't tell." I rolled my eyes. "Besides, even if I did tell you, I doubt you'd be able to figure it out." I sensed a challenge. I grabbed my laptop out of my backpack. Really, it wasn't that hard. All I had to do was hack into his system, click a few buttons and bam, he shut off. I smiled at the peace and quiet, but wondered why they were taking so long.

Chase's POV:

Davenport led us downstairs, into the lab. "What were you guys thinking?"

Leo raised his eyebrows. "Big D, I am not involved. I told Chase this would be a bad idea, but he decided not to listen."

"That's cause he's in love," Bree cooed.

I felt myself turning red. "No, I'm not!"

Adam nodded. "Chase and Angela sitting in a tree…," he began to sang.

Davenport rubbed his temples and faced me. "Chase, I understand wanting to have friends but you know why we can't have others come here."

I sighed. "Because nobody can know we're bionic. Look, I know it's risky but I'll make sure she doesn't know. She won't come down here. I promise you she won't be a problem. She's just staying for dinner."

He sighed. "Fine. Don't make me regret this decision." Adam raised his hand. "Adam, how many times do I have to tell you, you don't have to raise your hand during family meetings."

He put his hand down. "That thing on your head is on fire." His eyes widened and he started crying out. He threw it off of his head and grabbed the fire extinguisher. He sprayed it for a good 2 minutes and the fire was out.

"Big D, what is that?" Leo asked.

"Oh, that's just something I've been working on. It still has a few bugs." It started bouncing up and down.

"A few?" I asked. We went back upstairs, to find Angela on the couch, reading. She looked up.

"Hey, guys. What's that talking guy on the screens for?"

"You've met Eddy?"

She nodded. "Unfortunately. He's very annoying. Don't worry, he won't be bothering you for a few days, at most."

"What?"

"I shut him down. I just hacked into the system. There were some strong firewalls, but I managed to break through. My mouth fell open. That was impressive. I thought it would take years to do that.

"That's impressive," I remarked.

She smiled. "Thanks." I hoped I wasn't blushing just then.

"Anyways, he's a smart home system," I explained.

"Well, he sure is creepy." He sure is. After that, we continued to do our homework until Tasha came home.

Angela's POV:

The door opened and revealed a pretty brown-skinned woman. She smiled at her kids. "Hey, guys." "And who's this?" She asked when she saw me.

"I'm Angela Summers. I'm new at Mission Creek. Chase invited me for dinner."

She looked a little surprised. "He did? Well, it's nice to meet you, Angela." She shook my hand.

"You too, and I like that dress." It truly was cute. It was a dark blue dress.

"Thank you." She then went into the kitchen. Dinner came soon after. "Eddy seems quiet this evening," she remarked. I froze along with Chase.

"Oh, that's because Angela shut him down," Adam revealed.

Davenport almost choked on his food. "She what?"

Everyone turned towards me and I gave an apologetic smile. "Sorry about that. He was really irritating me and I…"

"Yes!" Tasha cried out. Everyone looked at her. "I mean, that's too bad."

"How in the world did you do it?" Davenport asked me.

"Well, I've just had years of practice with hacking. My dad got me into it. He was into that sort of thing. But, I've never used it for anything bad. I don't think he did either…"

"What was your dad's name?"

"Matt Summers," I immediately said.

His brows furrowed. "Matt Summers," he muttered. "I had a man with that exact name who worked for me a few years ago with that name."

I shrugged. "That would explain the Davenport industries products we had around the house."

"He never told me he had any kids."

"Really? Well, actually I have 2 younger siblings, but they weren't born then."

He nodded. "Huh." The rest of the dinner was nice, but Davenport was quiet. A little too quiet. My mom picked me up around 7:00 and I said goodbye to everyone. Chase seemed reluctant for me to go, but we knew we would see each other tomorrow. Leo seemed all too happy for me to go. Why he didn't like me, I had no clue. It was as if he didn't trust me. When I got into my mom's car, she remarked how big the house was. "Yeah, they're rich," I replied. My siblings were in the car too, and it took about 20 minutes, but we made it home. Once home, I crawled into my warm bed and went to bed early.
