Passing Notes
A/N Time skip, one month later…
"Class we have a new student, his name is Marcus Davis. Marcus is there anything you would like us to know about you?" Mrs. Johnson, my homeroom teacher asked. There wasn't really anything for me to say so I just said, "Um… I moved here." Mrs. Johnson seems to sense that I don't want to be up here. "Bree Davenport will you raise your hand please?" Mrs. Anderson asks the class, I recognize the name as the girl I'm suppose to befriend. A petite girl raises her hand; she has long brown hair, and warm, kind brown eyes. Mrs. Anderson gestures for me to take the empty seat behind her. I walk over to my seat and slide in behind Bree, I can't believe I lucked out; I'm sitting right behind her. Now I just have to think of something to say to her. My mind goes blank.
"Hi! I'm Bree Davenport." I feel relief flood through me, as she speaks.
"Hey, I'd introduce myself but Mrs. Anderson already did." I reply, but now my mind goes blank again.
"Yeah. Where did you move from?" Bree asks.
"Russia, my father and I moved because of his job." I reply, it wasn't a total lie I lived in Russia then I was adopted and moved to America, then we moved back to Russia when Donald stole Adam, Bree, and Chase.
"That's so cool. Do you speak any Russian?" Bree asks.
"Я говорю русского fluently!" I smirk at her look of confusion, before translating, "I said, 'I speak Russian fluently." She smiles.
"Do you need any help finding your classes?" Bree asks. I know my way around the building, thanks to Douglas forcing me to memorize everything, but I figured this would help me become friends with her.
"Yeah, I got a tour from the principle but she wasn't very helpful. What was her name, Larry?" I try cracking a joke and it works Bree giggles.
"Her name is Terry Perry. And I know right, she's terrible. Since she was so bad, how about I show you around?" Bree offers.
"Thanks." I reply, handing her my schedule. She looks it over.
"We have first, third, lunch, fifth and sixth period together. How about we walk to first period together, and then I'll walk you to second period, which you have with my brother, and I'm sure he will help you." Bree smiles at me; I smirk back and then nod my head. We have small talk for the rest of the homeroom, and then the bell rings.
Bree turns into a tour guide, pointing out important places to me, and even helping me find my locker. We then head to Art together, since that's our first period. Thankfully the art teacher didn't force me to introduce myself to the class. Bree lets me sit next to her, her friend Caitlin, and Owen Bree's boyfriend. We have fun and I offer to go clean our paintbrushes. Due to my super senses, I can hear their conversation:
"He's cute." Caitlin says, and then she giggles.
"No he's not!" Owen replies, insecure much I think.
"Owen, don't be mean. Yes Caitlin he's cute, but he has a bad boy vibe, plus he's not my type. Or your type, all of your boy friends are jocks." Bree states.
"All of my boyfriends were dumb, maybe its time I change types. If that's ok with you Bree, you saw him first, and boys can't come between best friends." Caitlin remarks.
"Hey!" Owen chirps in.
"It's fine Caitlin, I'm with Owen. But I think you need to stay away from bad boys, why don't you try a nerd, or a popular guy?" Bree says.
"True." Caitlin replies.
I start to walk back over, and when Owen notices me he puts his arm around Bree, Possessive much? Bree and Caitlin are still talking about boys, but I wasn't paying attention. I slide back into my seat and smirk at Caitlin causing her to blush, before I turn to Bree and thank her, "Thanks Bree for showing me around, and letting me sit with your friends." Owen glares at me; I just ignore him and watch Bree as she breaks out into a smile.
"No problem, I'm sure anyone would do this." Bree does blush a little at my compliment, although I thinks it's due to her being humble.
"Marcus, do you want to eat lunch with us? Bree says we share the same lunch period." Caitlin asks.
But before I could reply Owen gives his opinion, "I'm sure Marcus will want to make new friends, or have new friends by then." I was planning on having lunch with Adam and Chase, but this guy is getting on my nerves.
"Thanks Caitlin, I would love to have lunch with you guys, if that's ok." I feign innocence.
"Of course that would be ok Marcus." Bree responds before Owen can say no.
I smirk causing Caitlin to turn beat red, and Owen to harden his glare at me. Before any thing else could be said the bell rings. We all jump up, Owen slides his arm down Bree's arms and then puts his hand into hers, while simultaneously taking her books. Bree looks confused before asking, "Why'd you take my books? You never do that, not that I mind."
Owen smiles down at her and then says, "Can't I do something nice for my girlfriend?"
Bree just giggles at his statement before turning around to asking, "Are you ready to head to math?"
When Owen realizes I'll be walking with them he gets mad, so I just smirk and say, "Yeah."
We walk to my Honors Pre Calculus class, it's a little awkward because I can feel anger radiating off of Owen. Once we arrive, Bree waves a boy over to us, "Hey Chase, can you come over here for a second." It was more of a demand then a question.
Chase walks over to us, I identify him as Bree's little brother. Chase arrives in front of Bree looking a little annoyed. Bree ignores his attitude and introduces me, "Chase this is Marcus, he's new. Marcus this is my younger brother Chase."
I stick my right hand out, Chase takes it in his and we shake hands. Once Bree thinks we're good, she waves goodbye, walking off with her boyfriend. "Hi, you don't have to be nice me just because your sister says you do." I try to break the ice.
"Just as a heads up, I'm a outcast of the school, so if you hang out with me it will be social suicide." Chase warns me, but he doesn't know the whole reason I'm here is for him and his siblings, minus Leo.
"So, if you don't mind me asking how are you in this class, if your Brees younger brother?" I inquire.
"I tested out of my sophomore year, that's why I'm the social outcast of the school." He answers, as if it doesn't bother him. But I can tell it bothers him, he just wants to be accepted for who he is, I can sympathize.
"Ok, do you mind if I sit next to you?" I ask.
"No prob." Chase answers nonchalantly, but I can tell it means more to him then he'll ever admit. We sit down next to each other, I'm able to keep up with him, but he is smarter then me, probably because he got his chip after me, so there was less room for error. The class stares at me, I look like a bad boy, and I sit next to a nerd. I glare at the class, they turn around intimidated, and luckily Chase doesn't notice. We don't need to pay attention, because we know how to do everything already, so we talk the whole period, I'm glad it comes naturally, we even talk in Russian. When the bell rings, Chase happily shows me to my next class, with Bree, and he's ecstatic to find out we have more classes together, he tries to hide it.
"Hey, sorry you had to suffer a period with my brother he can be a little bit of a know it all sometime, he looked happy though." Bree apologizes to me, I look around and I'm happy to see no Owen.
"No worries, he's nice and we get along well." I answer, I look at Bree and see her reaction is shock.
"That's good, he only has one friend. Owen and Caitlin try to get along with him, but he bores them and scares them a little. I'm not trying to pressure you into becoming his friends; I'm just saying-" Bree stars to rant so I cut her off.
"Bree, it's fine I'm sure he'd be happy to know he has a protective big sister. Don't worry, I like the kid, he can even speak Russian." I smile at Bree to let her know I'm serious, she seems happy by my comment.
"Class we have a new student, Marcus Davis would you stand up and introduce yourself to the class, please." Mr. Smith, said in monotone, he sounded like he added 'please' as an after thought.
I stay seated and say, "You already introduced me."
He was taking roll, but his head snaps up to me, the class roars in laughter, his face has a light blush, although I can't tell if its embarrassment or anger. "Why don't you tell us a little about yourself Mr. Davis." He spits out my name.
I smirk and stand up, "Hey class, I moved." Then I sit down just to spite the teacher.
"Care to elaborate?" Mr. Smith says, he is trying to be professional, but I can tell he's about to snap.
"Nope." I pop the 'p'.
He is on the verge of snapping, but he can't get me on anything and he knows that. So he starts the history lesson.
"I don't think you should be making that kind of impression on your first day of school." Bree warns, but she is still smiling at what just happened.
"I didn't do anything wrong." I smirk. Bree just shakes her head trying to hide her smile. We spend the rest of class taking notes on the boring lecture, and passing notes. We didn't get caught. Class ends and Bree walks me to my forth-period class.
"Sorry about the way Owen acted earlier, he usually doesn't act that way." Bree apologizes.
"I don't think you should be apologizing." I retort, before adding, "Thanks though."
She smiles at me before saying, "This is AP English, which you have with Chase. See you at lunch." She waves at me then walks off.
I head into class and see Chase sitting by himself in a corner seat; I was heading over when I hear Caitlin, "HEY MARCUS!" she was very enthusiastic.
I wince at her volume, before putting a smirk on my face and turning around, "Hey Caitlin."
She blushes at me and asks, "Do you want to sit with us?" She gestures to the group she's sitting with. I look them over, some of the girls blush, and none of the guys can meet my gaze.
I shake my head, "Sorry Caitlin, I was going to sit with my friend Chase, but I'll see you at lunch." I walk off before she can say anything. When I sit next to Chase I see him trying to not notice I just called him my friend.
"It's ok if you want to sit with Caitlin." Chase offers, I hear the disappointment into his voice.
"Nah." I reply, Chase smiles at my statement. Then class starts, the teacher Miss Anderson, starts the lesson as soon as the bell rings. Chase and I don't really talk, I just take notes and I see him doing his math homework out of the corner of my eye. The last thirty minutes is silent reading, any book of our choice, the essay on it is due in two days. As I pull out my book, I can feel a few eyes on me, I look up and see Caitlin and some other girls she hangs out with, I smirk at them and they all turn away with a blush and giggle to each other. Then a note flies in front of me.
Do you know that every single girl in this class thinks your cute, and Jack (He's gay)
- Chase
I didn't realize that girls found me attractive till now, I mean I knew Caitlin liked me but that's because I heard her say it. I think of something to say.
Not really, Why?
-M
I throw it inconspicuously, it lands behind Chases book, and Chase picks it up and then replies. But before he can throw it in front of me, another note flies in front of me, it's folded and has my name in pink. I open it and it says:
Hey Marcus, I was just wondering if you caught anything the teacher said, I'm a little confused on the notes.
- CAITLIN
Her handwriting is very loopy, and she puts a heart over every 'I'.
Why don't you ask one of your friends, or Chase?
-M
I throw it over ten peoples heads and it lands in front of Caitlin's book, the teacher didn't even notice, I'm starting to think she's blind, or is losing her sight. Caitlin reads my note, before writing something on it. She tries to do what I just did, but it fails, so some guy just picks it up, and then he hands it to his neighbor, which happens till it reaches me. I ignore it and look at Chase, he hands me his note:
It's just that girls in the AP program usually don't fall for guys that easily.
-C
P.S. Caitlin has a huge crush on you.
I know, I over heard her earlier. I think it's a little creepy.
-M
P.S. Is the teacher blind?
I hand the note back to Chase, then pick Caitlin's up.
I already asked them, and they weren't paying attention. I don't think Chase would help me. So will you, please?
-CAITLIN
P.S. Impressive throw btw
I turn to Chase and whisper, "Will you help Caitlin and her friends, they weren't paying attention earlier." Chase nods and then writers something on the note, so I continue writing on Caitlin's.
I'll ask him. He said yes, he will help you and your friends. After school at four works for him, meet him in the library.
-M
I show Chase my answer and he nods, so I throw it back to Caitlin. She looks at the note and pouts a little, but she looks over her shoulder and nods. I take the note that Chase is put in front of my book.
I don't think Caitlin is happy about me tutoring her, I think she would rather you do it.
-C
P.S. No she's not blind, she just props her head up in front of a book to look like she's reading, but in reality she is sleeping.
Who cares what Caitlin thinks? Plus my dad needs me for something after school anyway so I can't.
-M
P.S. What kind of teacher sleeps in class?
I hand Chase back the note, I don't even pretend to read anymore, it's not like the teacher will notice, so I take out my phone and play angry birds. Chase puts the note in front of me:
Why didn't you tell her that?
I know, it's a little weird but if we stay quiet she'll sleep till the bell rings.
-C
P.S. Caitlin is giving you a creepy look.
I look up and see Caitlin staring at me, I raise an eyebrow at her, she seems to come to her sense because she turns red and looks back at her book.
She is really starting to creep me out; maybe I'll file a restraining order against her.
-M
I toss the note back to Chase, he almost laughs at my note before replying:
She won't give up on you that easy. Once she had a crush on my older brother Adam, she was always over at the house, even when Bree wasn't there. But she got over it eventually.
-C
Weird.
-M
P.S. Maybe you should ask her out.
Chase almost bursts out laughing, and then he writes something:
She's not my type, plus she's Brees friend so it'd be weird.
-C
This is interesting; if I can set him up with a girl I'll gain his trust.
She's pretty. What's your type?
-M
I see Chase hesitate, but then he writes something.
She is pretty, but it's her personality.
My type is a dark hair, green-eyed girl. She has to be intelligent, and nice. Funny and fun to be around is important. Trustworthy is non-negotiable. Also she has to be able to get along with my family.
-C
That very specific, does this describe any girl in particular?
-M
I see Chase blush when he reads my note.
Not really, my friend Maya set me up on two dates with girls like this but none of them clicked.
-C
Not trying to be mean, but you don't really hang out with anyone.
-M
Maya is a sophomore, we had all of our AP classes, together, and I chose to test out of them. She helped me get a 100% in my cooking class, and that helped me become a junior. She is super funny, and kind.
-C
What does she look like?
-M
She has black hair, and emerald green eyes. She is shorter than me, and has light freckles that dust her nose. She is super smart, the only reason she didn't test out of sophomore year is because of some family issues, I'd tell you but that betray her trust. Why do you want to know?
-C
No reason.
-M
I think I know who Chase has a crush on. The bell rings and Chase stuffs the note in his backpack along with the rest of his stuff. We then walk out of class.
"Do you need any help finding the cafeteria?" Chase asks.
"Bree showed me earlier, but I kind of forgot." I didn't forget, "So does Maya have this lunch?" I ask.
"No, she has first lunch. Why are you asking?" I think Chase is getting suspicious.
"No reason, but your description of her, makes me think she's hot, plus smart and that's a bonus. I got to go I promised Caitlin I'd eat lunch with her." I leave Chase thinking about Maya.
I get into the lunch line, and Caitlin appears behind me out of nowhere, "Hey Marcus! Thanks for setting up a study session with Chase. I owe you one, if you need anything let me know!" She is practically bouncing with eagerness.
"Ok." I try to end the conversation there, but she doesn't get the hint. She talks all the way through the lunch line, and I ignore her the whole way. She doesn't seem to take the hint. After I get my lunch, I walk away from her; she was in the middle of a sentence. I know I was mean, but she is more annoying then my dad when he talks about how awesome his hair is. I walk around, I notice Chase is sitting with two guys, and then I see Bree and Owen sitting together at a table. I put a smirk on, and walk over there.
"Hey." Is all I say, Owen's energy changes to anger when I sit down, Bree whispers something in his ear, Owen looks angry.
"Sorry for the way I acted earlier." It sounds forced.
"You're forgiven." I feign sincerity.
"Hey Marcus I don't think you heard me earlier, I was asking if you wanted to go to the movies with me and some friends of mine. Bree are you and Owen coming?" Caitlin sits as close to me as she can get, without actually sitting on me; I move my chair away from her.
"Sure." I reply, Caitlin's face lights up.
"Yeah we'll be going." Bree answers for her and Owen.
"I'm going to go sit with Chase. Catch ya later Bree." I smirk before leaving, I see Owens face turn red with anger. I listen to their conversation as I walk away.
"What is he talking about?" I can practically see Owen glare at me.
"Calm down, we just have fifth and six period together." Bree responds. Owen huffs, but gets over it.
"Do you think he likes me?" Caitlin asks. I stop listening there; I'm at Chases table.
"Hey Marcus." Chase greets. I sit across from him.
"I'm Adam." The tallest boy at the table says, he has brown hair, and brown eyes. I know he's Chases older brother, at first he seems stupid but I can sense hidden intelligence.
"Hey." I look over at the smallest; he has black hair, and brown eyes.
"I'm Leo!" he says, I can tell he's the youngest, probably the center of attention. So I just nod at him.
"So Chase, I'm going to the movies with Caitlin, just so she doesn't think it's a date do you want to come? Bring Maya to, I'd like to meet her." I say, Chase just nods and we exchange phone numbers, so we can keep in contact. I get up and listen to their conversation, as I head back to Brees table.
"Hey Chasey can I come with you to the movies?" I hear Adam ask Chase.
"Probably." Chase responds.
"I don't like that guy." Leo states, I smirk, and I know he feels left out.
But I stop listening, I lean over Caitlin and ask, "I need you number so you can text me the details."
Caitlin jumps at our proximity, but she grabs a piece of paper and writes her number, when she hands it to me the bell rings.
"Hey Bree, are you ready to walk to our next class?" I ask Bree, I notice Owen gets angry, he has class on the opposite side of the building, I might have looked up his schedule. Bree nods before kissing Owen on the cheek and saying goodbye to Caitlin.
The next two periods go by smoothly, then I have biology with Chase, he asks if Adam can come to the movies, I say sure.
The day is finally over, I think its safe to say Chase is my friend, and Bree will be my friend. I tell Douglas, he seems pleased. I do my homework and then off to bionic training.
A/N I've decided that this story is going to be very AU. Also I don't mean to make Leo look whiny, it's just that he is the youngest, plus he was an only child before so I would think he is use to being the center of attention.
This chapter was a little boring, but it's to establish relationships and possible future pairings.
I want to know who you guys want to pair, I'm going to ship ChasexOC(Maya).
