Hey again. I'm not gonna say much this time because well…there isn't much to say. Other than I don't own lab rats-blah, blah, blah- you get the point. Read and review!

PS: The songs Aline says she wrote, I don't own them either I just figured it'd be easier to use music people are familiar with or can research to get an idea of what she was writing. Alll credits will be given at the end. Alright Aline…

Aline:

When the Davenports left yesterday things got really strange. Erin didn't rush to tell me about Adam or even tease me about Chase. She just went up to her room, closed the door, and stayed there. It was hard to fall asleep after that conversation. It kept replaying in my head. Eventually I was able to find sleep and in the morning, things were easier.

I found my table in the lunchroom at school and pulled out my notebook. I sit alone in the mornings and use that time to write. Something about the chaotic disorder of a high school cafeteria is inspirational to me.

Just as I start to get a flow going I see Bree. I wave at her and she comes over to my table.

"Hey, so I guess you do exist." She smiles. I laugh.

"Are you sure about that?" I ask and lift up my arm, she pinches me softly.

"Pretty sure." She says, "Do you want to sit with us?"

I look over to where the boys are. Adam is using his spoon and knife as drum sticks and Chase looks like he wants to be anywhere else. Leo is fiercely hitting the buttons on his Nintendo Game. I smile.

"Yea, I guess." I grab my backpack and follow Bree to back to home.

"Hey, look who I found." Bree announces. Everyone turns to see me. I wave with my free fingers.

"Oh, hey." Chase says blandly then looks away.

"What? That dry?" I say messing up his hair. He swats me away.

"Quit." He says, but he sounds only half engrossed. He's staring somewhere else.

"What are you looking at anyways?" I put my head next to his in the same direction and I see exactly what he's looking at. Or should I say who. Sitting in a group of girls, I see the girl that brings most guys at this school to their knees. Gabriella Wilde, with her long blonde hair and flawless skin, her charming personality, she's a total magnet.

"Oh," I smirk. "I see."

"Get off." Chase says. I throw my hands up in retreat.

"Have you ever talked to her?" Chase looks at me like I'm a flaw in a very long algebra equation.

"Of course I haven't talked to her. She's Gabriella Wilde."

"She's a girl. You're a guy. What's so hard about that?"

"It's not that simple."

"And why not?"

"It's just…not. Okay? Can we drop the subject?"

I look over to Gabriella's table. One of her brown haired friends, Stacy Wilcox, just said something to make her laugh. Gabriella flips her hair back flashing the world with pearly white teeth and an engaging smile. I look back at Chase; his look is a mix of longing and distance. Suddenly I realize I'm squeezing my hands into fists. Where did that come from?

"Fine," I say, "I can't make you talk to her, but you can't stop me from doing it."

Chase:

"Aline no-" I reach out for her arm but she breaks my grip. I watch her walk up to Gabriella's table and start talking. That easy. I'm rocking in my chair slightly, for the first time in a long time my brain is a chaotic mess. What is she saying to her? What if Gabriella says no? What if she says yes? I have no idea what to do on a date. I watch Aline talk with her so casually and wish I could do the same. Finally the first bell rings. She waves goodbye and comes back to our table for her things.

"Well?" I start, "What'd you guys talk about? Is she single? What'd she say? Did you mention my name?"

"Woah." Aline waves me to a halt, "Slow down Romeo. I didn't tell her you think she's cute. You have to do that yourself. But, there's that moonlight dance coming up, and she doesn't have a date. Ask her to that and see what she says."

"And how do you suppose I do that?"

"I already said it. She's a girl. You're a guy. Enough said."

My stomach flips and does a dance.

"All right. I'll do it." I give in. Aline's grins.

"Great. Let me know what happens. Oh, and Chase?"

"Yeah?"

"Remember. She's Gabriella Wilde. If you want a ride you better jump on that train quick."

I laugh, wondering where this cool girl was last night. Running through my head how I'm gonna ask the most beautiful girl in school to the dance with me.

Aline:

I close my locker door and Chase is leaning on the lockers next to it. I'm too curious about Gabriella to wonder where he came from.

"Hey. So? What did she say?" I ask, getting excited.

"So I talked to her after Algebra…" He starts.

"And…" I push.

"And she said yes."

I gasp. "Look at you! Mr. Nerds-got-game." I laugh at my own joke. Chase finds it funny.

"Yup. It feels good." He says in a strained voice that sounds like he was stretching. I laugh.

"What class do you have next?" He asks.

"Algebra. What a coincidence." I say, clearly unpleased.

"Don't worry. We have lunch after that so just hang on."

"Okay." Something stirs in me, the same thing from last night. My fingers tremble and my stomach is suddenly full of nothing. "Well, I'll see you later."

"See ya." He walks away. He moves his shoulders when he walks like a cartoon character with extra confidence. I laugh to myself and at the same time I realize I was driving my fingers into my palm. What's wrong with me?

Aayyyeee! So there's this chapter. It's getting more fun to write this. Is it more interesting to read? Okay so I'm gonna start writing more into Chase's POV 'cause I imagined you would like to see what Chase thinks of this new girl. Anything else…nope! That's it for now! Aurevior or however you spell that. I took Spanish…
