Hehe gonna have fun with this chapter, been wanting to Smart and Smarter as one since I saw it :3

I looked over at Bree skeptically as Adam said "Check out what I've done with my locker!" She shrugged, and then we both just stared at him as went through his… interesting locker arrangement. Ok that is nasty, god I hope he doesn't have my hair in that mustache I internally shivered. Leo walked over, and Bree took it as her way out of continually looking at the black that made Adam's locker. "Hey Leo, what's that?" "My progress report, I can't believe my science teacher says I'm always late to class…" "You are always late to class." Adam said. "I know that but I don't need to publicized."

Then Chase ran over with a look on his face that made it look like it was the end of the world "Look at this! An A-, what do you have for your grades Scarlett." "All A+ except for math and home ec." "I knew my home ec teacher had it for me! And my girlfriend! She is always criticizing my muffins." "Chase it's not the end of the world for you to a get an A-, and NO before you say anything that won't jeopardize your entire future career." "Ha! I got a D+, the plus means I'm better." "Adam the plus- you know what it's not even worth it anymore." Bree sighed. I laughed but hid behind a cough, I didn't want to seem rude. But Chase caught it and smirked. "We don't expect you to get good grades." Chase said to Adam then turned to the rest of us "I was engineered to be the smartest person on the planet, and I just got an A-!" "Again Chase no big deal!" I said wanting to still get that through his thick head. But he went on like I said nothing "I have been relegated to muddled masses of minus's, like you."

Everyone looked at me expectedly to get him to shut up. Hitting his arm I said again "Chase it is not a big deal, and what is wrong with having a minus? Are we really going to have this conversation again?" I crossed my arms and his eyes widened just a little "Scarlett I didn't mean it like that, I mean, uh no, really at least at you, no that's not what I meant either, sorry?" Scoffing and rolling my eyes I said "You my friend have such an ego problem." He sighed and sat on the bench. "Well look on the bright side, seeing you fall flat on your face is fun for us." Bree grinned and this time I did laugh. "Oh haha, yeah I get laugh at the genius." He paused then said "I need to find a way to regain my superiority." No, you don't… I thought. Leo looked pained to say it "You could sign up for the student of the semester competition." His eyes lit up and in my head I said Leo why, WHY would you tell him about that? I'd seen the posters. "What's that?" Chase asked. "Every semester students compete to see who can best improve the school. Whoever wins gets free pencils, a bumper sticker, and a cheesy picture on the wall." He grinned as he said "And that cheesy picture will show everyone my brilliance reigns supreme!"

Bree leaned over and whispered "And you still want him?" "I think it's required the girlfriend deals with the boy when he goes through his pride falling." I whispered back. Chase looked over at us "Hey I heard that!" The bell rang and Adam and Chase looked at each other "Race ya!" "I better go with them…" "'I'll meet up with you in a minute." Bree said. The entire rest of the day Chase went on and on about his platform ideas, and I listened. Some were actually really good and the others, I feel like it would mean to say what I really thought about those.

Sometime in between classes the next day I went towards the stairs to find Chase handing out cards.I got the he was my boyfriend and I needed to support him but this whole thing screamed "I'm going to take this over the top and not see what's wrong with it!" He stopped in front of two girls and said "Here's my website where you can peruse my platform, marvel at my skills or even play a game of Chase Trivia where all the answers are about me." Right about now would be a good time for a face palm. He saw me and the others who had showed up and saw the scene and ran up handing us cards… that said Chase the Dream. "What do you think?" "What do I think or what's appropriate to say to your face?" He shook his head like Leo didn't get it and looked at me giving a smile. I said "It's… cute." Chase beamed and I just smiled. Bree looked at it slight horror "Please do not give these to anyone me or Scarlett might want to become friends with!"

"Hey check it out, I rigged the doors with the latest face recognition software with the school database to create a laser automated attendance system." Poor Andrew Lamb, didn't even see it coming. Adam, thank god, took the job of trying to tell him he'd never win like that. "Kids want jacuzzis in math and candy hallways. Ooh and I think biology would be a lot more fun if we could juggle the frogs before ewe dissect them." I looked at him "Adam, you make the dead frogs dance, isn't that enough?" "Uh of course not, dancing doesn't compare to juggling at all."

Lunch rolled around and I stood in line. I grinned seeing the cupcakes and grabbed two. I was only a few people behind Adam, who not to my surprise dumped all the gravy on his food. Then the automated voice of Chase came on and told him "Step away from the gravy." He looked at it strange and said "Don't tell me what to do turkey!" Chase walked over smiling and said "Adam that's my nutritional scanner, ensuring everyone gets a perfectly balanced nutritious lunch." "Oh… Chase I don't think your scanner is a good idea." "Of course it is! Who doesn't being told how to eat properly?" Then his scanner started talking again. "More green beans." He said to some random guy and "Too many fries." To a girl. "Two cupcakes really? I wouldn't, but ok it's your health." I turned with my eyebrows raised and a glare. "Chase!" I didn't yell, but I think it came close. "Scarlett?" He said. "I think I'm going to sit with Bree and Ethan today." "Oh come on Scarlett, it's for the school's benefit" Chase said pleading. "And I suppose me getting hauled off to the principal's because I was late because of my dad's truck not starting this morning is for my benefit too?" "You got sent to principal's office?" He said. "Just said that." I called over my shoulder. His mouth dropped a little and he made a gesture with hands. "Scarlett…"

Bree and I looked up fifteen minutes later when we heard then saw Adam come in on a DJ board. And for the heck of it when Adam told everyone to start dancing we laughed and did. Feeling slightly bad for going off on Chase I walked over to him and grabbed his hands. "Come on my little awkward dancer, we can be awkward together." Rolling his eyes Chase smiled and spun me around twice. "See this is fun, could be a good way to win." "Well fun won't get people a high school education." He said. "People won't be able to focus on learning without a fun break." "Ok, ok point taken, I'll let Adam help." Chase smiled then added "For now." After a few minutes he said "Sorry about my scanners." Shrugging I said "It could be worse."

During a passing period I walked with Chase holding my hand to find Adam putting a vending machine in study hall, Chase yelled "HEY!" Adam dropped it on his foot and screamed making Chase flinched. "Adam what on earth are you doing?" I asked. "For the last time that is not a giant lunch box!" Chase said sighing. "No. I know that, it's part of your campaign to win the student of the semester." People filed in and went straight to machine. "They love it!" "Of course they do they're getting their meal from a machine." Adam paused then said "And you thought you didn't need my help, I'm totally going to win this for you." "Chase…" I said warningly, of course he ignored me. I was really put up with this competition. "Whoa, whoa, you're going to win this thing for me?" "Yeah… I just said that. Don't you think your sudden popularity has something to do with my ideas." "Adam, I really don't think you two should be comparing-" I started but Chase cut me off "No, I think people are finally realizing my campaign slogan 'Chase the Dream' is about me, I'm the dream!" "Chase Davenport, I am about to smack you with my book!" I said, "Feel free to hit him as hard you can Scarlett, maybe knock some real smart into him." Adam smirked. "Oh no you didn't." Chase growled. "BOYS!" I smacked them; of course Adam didn't even feel it. "But my strategy was ten times better than yours; you just can't deal with the fact that I'm finally smarter at something." "Ok, you know what, Chase we're leaving." Grabbing his arm I started dragging him as he said "Oh really? Ten times? What, you use all your fingers and toes to count that?" I stopped and punched his arm "Be nice!" "Scarlett he's acting like he's better than me!" "And you're acting like a jerk, again!"

Adam glared and said "You always treat me like an idiot, you know what I'm done helping you, I'm entering this competition myself! I'm taking you down!" He walked up to Chase who said "You wouldn't" "Weren't you listening I said I would!" "I hope you're happy!" I said smacking him the adding "I'm really sick of you thinking you have to be perfect Chase! You don't, no one would care if you weren't, and if you think being a know it all makes you cool, you're wrong." "But-" "No but's, I understand fighting with your brother is normal, but making him feel stupid isn't. He has good ideas. Now let's get to class before I take your head off." "You couldn't get my head if you tried." Chase said trying to joke. "Try me." I said. "Do you want to hang out after school?" He finally asked as we wandered through the halls. "I can't today, tomorrow maybe?" "Yeah, that's fine. Are you really mad at me?" He asked quietly. "Chase I'm not mad, I'm annoyed but I'll get over it." "I feel like-" Chase stopped not finishing. "You feel like what?" I asked. "Never mind it's stupid." "Tell me when you're ready." I said.

The next day as Chase was asking people to vote for him Adam came by in an awesome golf cart looking thing. Once he drove off Leo came down the steps saying "Well according to my scientific polling, which is all your cards crumpled up in the trash cans, it shows Adam is beating you by a comfortable margin." "If I have to compete with him, I have to start thinking like a simple minded creature, one who goes through the day on random instincts and impulses, like a dog or a monkey or a sea slug." "Or Adam." They both said at the same time. "Could you guys give Adam a little bit of credit guys?" "No." The said again.

At lunch I thought I smelled actual food cooking. Walking down the stairs I gaped seeing Chase cooking burgers. "Enjoy your chee-ase burger." He said handing one to a kid. "Oh my god, real food?" I said looking at him. "Yup, you want one?" "No, I'm just going to eat the processed crap from the cafeteria. Yes I want one!" Chase smiled sliding one onto a plate, "So I'm assuming I have your vote." He winked and I said "Only because you actually know how to cook." Adam walked up and I rolled my eyes. "Really a hamburger cart is best you got?" Smirking Chase said "The only thing juicer than my burgers is what you're about to eat, which is big heaping pile of defeat." I tried not to laugh at his word choice; I ended up coughing trying to swallow. Adam smirked right back and said "Speaking of 'defeat', care for a foot rub?" My eyes got huge "Go on Scarlett, trust they work wonders." Adam said. Chase glared again and said "Stop trying to make her go to the stupid side!" "Be nice!" I said for what felt the billionth time.

Putting his spatula down Chase said angrily to Adam "You know what I have really had enough of you!" "Aww what are you going to do about?" Adam said in baby voice, which I'm sorry, was hysterical and I cracked up. Chase looked at me rolling his eyes then looked at Adam again. "You can't really enjoy your hamburger without a little ketchup on your buns." He picked up the bottle and squeezed it down his pants. I started laughing harder my hands over my face as I tried to say sternly "Chase!" It came out as me laughing still. "Hah! Jokes on you, I kind of liked it." Laughing again I said "Eww Adam that's gross!" Adam smiled at me before waddling off.

During last period we all stood around waiting to see who. Chase had put on a jacket which he claimed "Makes me look more like a representative of the school." And Adam fired back with "Nerd with an ego." Mrs. Thistle slowly began opening the envelope and Chase said "Oh just let me open it!" I looked at him like he crazy (which I think sometimes he was) and he quickly added "I mean, let me help you with that ma'am." He started reading it saying "Yes! Yes! I… tied with Adam?" His face became annoyed and Adam said "Yeah! I half won!" He spun Chase around who said "Put me down!" He started begging the poor old woman to recount "Chase, she's not gonna make it through another count." I said quietly pulling him away.

I followed Chase and Adam into the lab after school and saw Bree already there. "Where have you been?" I asked her. "Eh teaching Leo a lesson. I'll explain later." "I can't believe we have to write an essay to determine the winner." Chase grumbled. "Yeah and when everyone reads my essay, I'm going to be student of the semester." Adam smiled. "Let me see that!" Chase flipped through the pages and laughed showing me them, they were doodles for the most part. I giggled when Adam told him that the tiny headed guy with a big mouth was Chase. "You know what, I'm not going to even worry, because the winner is the person who can write the best essay and we all know that's me." "I could probably out write you." I said looking at him. "Possibly but out of the people running for the student of the semester, I think I win."

Adam glared and said "You think you're so smart, but I'm better…." He stopped and Chase smirked "That's right, you got nothing!" "No, I've got this!" And then his eyes turned orange and Bree pulled me out of the way. As soon as the laser shot out, Chase a force field up. "Oh you think you're so cool because you have lasers, well guess what I can fight back too." He pushed her force field into a ball and shot it at Adam, who went flying back. "Well you don't get to see this every day." I joked. Bree smiled "It's much more fun when you can outrun them and they can't catch you." Leo said "And us two are stuck watching because we don't get cool powers." Chase grinned saying "Bull's eye." Adam charged at him and threw him as well. He screamed and Leo said exactly what I was thinking "Bree should we do something now?" "Nah, they're bionic brothers, it's how they roll."

"Hah! I can still pin you in less than three seconds!" Adam smiled before running off. Chase popped back saying "I'm good… Ugh he always plays the physical card! This contest is my thing and he's trying to show me up!" I looked at Chase "He didn't try to show you up, he did show you up." Bree went from where I left off "And instead of giving him credit, you made feels stupid, which is what you always do." We walked off but I heard Leo say "Huh, I'm starting to think they're both smarter than you too."

The next at school when they finally announced the winner, Bree and I looked at each other in the office. "There is no way Chase wrote this essay." I said putting the one with his name on it back down "He flunked it on purpose." We walked out and Bree read Adam's to Chase. "He would have misspelled library, Adam would've misspelled dog." "Ok, I wrote Adam's essay put his name on it tanked my own essay. He had good ideas and deserved to win." The he added "So I got one A-, guess I can't be perfect at everything." I smiled but said "You have got to be kidding me." He gave a sheepish smile to me "Does it help if I say you were right?" "You'll be needing to say that for a long time buddy." Bree grinned and said "Chase that's not true, you're not perfect at a lot of things." I laughed and he rolled his eyes at me.

Leo and I started laughing as Chase drew on Adam's picture of him hugging a tree. "Oh my god, Chase that's so mean!" I laughed. And we all had trouble breathing as Adam came down and saw then actually wanted to mess it up. "See, everything is fine, the world won't end because you didn't get an A+." I said, and Chase smiled again "I know, I know."

I don't know why, but I personally liked this one a lot. Also I don't know you any of you guys follow Billy Unger on twitter or instagram, but if you please tell I'm not the only one who almost died with that picture he posted the other day... haha but seriously. Review or fangirl or both what ever floats your boat. :D
