*Chase's POV*

I turned around and there were three girls standing in front of the double doors. I knew who two of them were, but I knew they were all populars. The one with brown hair and brown eyes I recognized instantly as Tammy Davis, cheerleading captain and Quinn's girlfriend. The short blonde with hazel eyes was definitely Claire Smith, and the third girl was either Brittney or Tiffany Richards. I wasn't sure which was which, not that I would even have any reason to since I never spoke to them before.

"I'm fine Tammy," Quinn said, quickly recovering and walking over to his girlfriend and putting his arm around her. "I was just excited because Chase here has agreed to join the debate team."

"You sounded like a small animal caught in a wood chipper," Brittney/Tiffany said while trying not to laugh at the boy who was turning slightly pink.

"Hey, I'm not afraid to show my emotions, and that just happened to be my happy sound," Quinn defended. Wow, no wonder he wanted my help. If that's how he defends it's not a huge mystery on why the team hasn't won a trophy all year.

"Where are your guy's manners?" Claire said shaking her head and taking a few steps toward me. "That's Tammy, Tiffany, and I'm Claire."

"I know, I think everyone in the school knows who you are," I said lightly, trying to come up with a reason to get out of here. I was perfectly fine with being on a team with Quinn, because there were other people there, people who weren't the populars, and it was a little awkward for me being around four of them with nobody else around.

"Well, if you know about me, then it's only fair that I get to know about you," Claire said, taking yet another step closer to me, only leaving about two feet of space between us.

"I apologize for Claire and her not so subtle flirting technique," Tammy said, grabbing Claire's shoulder and pulling her back. I had to hold in my sigh of relief. But at the same time I was confused about why a popular would flirt with me. Then I remembered her reputation for flirting with pretty much every single guy in the school.

"It's fine but I uh, have to go… home," I finished pathetically. It was all I could come up with on short notice, and it did make sense considering it was already 4:30.

"Okay, well… maybe we can hang out sometime," Claire suggested, walking up to me yet again, but this time leaving almost no space between our bodies. If I thought it was awkward before, that was nothing.

"Uh, yeah, maybe," I said carefully. I did NOT want a popular mad at me. If I flat out rejected her like my brain was telling me to, I knew she would single handily make my high school experience as horrible as possible.

"Great," she smiled hugely, so it seems like she believes me. All of a sudden there was a phone in her hand and she was holding it out to me. "Put your number in." I did what she said as quickly as I could and handed it back to her.

"Claire, would you let him go now, he has somewhere to be," Quinn said, saving me. I made a quick mental note to somehow repay him for getting me out of this awkward moment. Claire shot him a look that I didn't even want to try to interpret, but stepped aside none the less.

"Later," I said as I practically ran out the doors and away from the most feared people in high school. I had to admit, they didn't seem that bad, but maybe it was because I had agreed to what Quinn had wanted and I didn't necessarily reject Claire. I had no idea why she would want my number, maybe because she thought I could text her homework answers. Honestly, I didn't really care at the moment. I just wanted to get home and relax by doing my AP calculus homework.

*Quinn's POV*

"Did you have to throw yourself at him like that?" I asked Claire as soon as the door slammed behind Chase. I knew that Claire had freaked him out, she does that sometimes.

"I did not throw myself at him. I just wanted to let him know that I was interested, I mean, who could blame me," Claire exclaimed. I rolled my eyes. Yeah, I had seen a chess club geek try to flirt with Chase just this morning, and it wasn't very pretty. But he had let her down easily, which I was happy about since that told me he wasn't desperate. I had heard a few girls talk about him and say that they wanted to date him, but he never dates. He always politely declines and actually tries to be friends with the girl. I didn't even know guys tried being friends with girls! I mean, I was friends with girls, but that was different. They hadn't asked me out, and they were more of Tammy's friends than mine.

"I don't blame Claire, Chase is pretty hot," Tammy said. Well that earned my attention pretty quick.

"Should I be worried?" I asked.

"Of course not, I'm just saying that he isn't too bad in the looks department," she said, kissing my cheek like she always does when she was assuring me of something.

"Yeah, and from what little I know about him, he doesn't really seem to be your type anyway," I joked. We all laughed, but at the same time we knew that what I said was true. Nobody knew much about Chase, or the Davenports in general.

"I wish we knew more about him," Claire said, voicing my own thoughts.

"Know more about who?" Tiffany asked, cocking her head to the side. She reminded me of a lost and confused little puppy when she did that, and she was always confused.

"Chase!" Claire and Tammy yelled at her.

"Oh," Tiffany said slowly. "He's hot." I face palmed.

"I know right," Claire said. They kept on talking about Chase, but I was still thinking about how mysterious all the Davenports are, and that little Dooley kid. I don't think anyone in the entire school knows anything personal about them. Where they came from, where they were born, when they moved here, why they were so secretive. I had always wanted to know, but now I had a reason to.

"Okay guys, I have an idea," I said, snapping my fingers in front of Claire's and Tiffany's faces. "We are going to find out more about the Davenports."

"How do you expect us to do that?" Tammy asked, holding onto my arm.

"Well, we'll split up and follow them around tomorrow," I said. Sounded like a good idea to me.

"I call following Chase around!" Claire screamed as her arm shot up in the air. I kind of figured that was coming.

"Fine, Claire you take Chase, Tiffany… you can call the others and tell them to meet us outside on the bleachers, and Tammy… stay cute," I said quickly. Tammy smiled and kissed my cheek again.

"Do I have to call Ally?" Tiffany asked with an eye roll. I didn't blame her for that. Ally was getting to be a real pain in the butt. If she talks about how great she thinks she is one more time, I'm going to shoot myself.

"Do not call Ally. This is about finding stuff out about other people, the only person Ally cares about finding things out about, is herself," I said, rolling my own eyes. I hope that sentence made sense to everyone else.

"Yeah, we should talk about her too," Tammy said. I nodded.

"We have our work cut out for us," I said, taking a deep breath.

*Tammy's POV*

"We have gathered you here today to discuss the mysterious Davenports," Quinn said dramatically. "And Ally," he said with way less enthusiasm. Couldn't blame him.

"Why do we have to talk about Ally? She does enough of that herself," Logan said.

"We know, that's why we're giving her one more chance, and if she blows it, then she's out," I said. Some people might think that was a little harsh, but you haven't met Ally. She is the most annoying, rude, selfish, self-centered, self-absorbed shrew I had ever met.

"Finally," Liam groaned lying down on the outside bleacher, his head landing in Danielle's lap. Aw, they are such a cute couple! Both of them had brown hair and brown eyes, and they were both about the same height, Liam only being a few inches taller. Every couple in our group was cute. Liam and Danielle, Brittney and Shane, Tiffany and Logan, and of course, the cutest couple there is, me and Quinn!

"I get why we need to talk about Ally, but what's with the sudden interest in the Davenports?" Shane asked, putting his arm around Brittney. That couple may look a little weird. Brittney was a little short and Shane was tall. He kind of had to be since he plays basketball, and a little extra height never hurts in that sport. Also, he had brown hair and hazel eyes, and she was blonde and had blue eyes. Not that brunettes and blondes look weird together, because that would be saying Quinn and I look weird together. I have brown hair and brown eyes, Quinn had blonde hair and brown eyes. The final couple is Tiffany and Logan. Tiffany looks exactly like Brittney, would be weird if she didn't since they're identical twins, and Logan has brown hair and brown eyes.

"The sudden interest in the Davenports was triggered when I recruited Chase for the debate team," Quinn said, snapping me out of my couple thoughts.

"And Claire started flirting with him… if that tells you anything," I added. Everyone shot Claire a look, but nobody was surprized. She would flirt with almost any guy alive.

"Don't look at me like that, he's hot," Claire defended. She was right. Chase had that whole 'dork' look about him, but somehow he made it work.

"What is with girls and this guy?" Dylan asked. Oh yeah, I never talked about Dylan. He's the only single guy in the group, but no girl wants to date him since he created his reputation of being a player. He stood out in our group. He was the only one who had black hair and green eyes.

"Well for starters he's ridiculously smart, he's nice, kind, caring, funny, and he's hot," Danielle said. Liam gave her the same look that Quinn gave me when I called Chase hot. 'Should I be worried about this guy?' Danielle slightly shook her head at him and gave him a kiss on his forehead.

"But nobody in the entire school knows anything about him," Quinn said, leaving where he stood beside me to sit on the bottom bleacher.

"Or the rest of that family," I added.

"Yeah, I have always wondered about them," Logan said.

"Which is why we're going to follow them and try to find out more about them," Quinn said, jumping up and pointing to everyone who sat on the bleachers in front of him, which was everyone but me.

"Oh, sounds like we got some spying to do. Hey bro, you still have that spy kit from when we were kids?" Liam asked Logan who rolled his eyes.

"No, strangely enough I don't still have a spy kit that I got when I was six," Logan said, hitting his little brother in the back of the head. Those two fight more than any of us, even Brittney and Tiffany… and those two are twin sisters who share a bathroom! They call me, Danielle, Dylan, and Shane lucky because we don't have any siblings. Ally is an only child too, but nobody really cares, or dares to call her lucky because she would assume that you meant her looks before you even finished your sentence.

"Oh calm down!" Danielle and Tiffany yelled, slapping each of their boyfriends on the arm. They shut up after that.

"Well, Liam is right, we are going to spy on this mysterious family that haunts our school," Quinn said, once again trying to be dramatic.

"Honey," I said sweetly. "Leave the acting to Danielle." Quinn frowned, but I just smiled back at him.

"Okay, so we spy on them… how do you expect us to do that?" Dylan asked.

"Easy, you just follow them and talk to them as much as you can without giving away that we're trying to find information," Quinn said.

"I think it would be suspicious if we even said one word to them. I mean, have any of us talked to them?" Brittney asked. Everyone slowly started shaking their heads. And this is why she was the smartest girl in our group, she actually thinks things through.

"Good point, but we can still follow them and try to find out what it is that the Davenport family is hiding," I said.

"And I already called following Chase!" Claire yelled.

"Aw," the girls groaned. The looks on their boyfriends faces was priceless, so I quickly took my IPhone out of my pocket and took a picture. I had to post that on Facebook later.

"Anyway, Claire is going to follow Chase, Danielle and Tiffany, you guys are going to follow Adam, Dylan you follow Bree, and Logan and Shane will follow Leo," Quinn said quickly.

"Yes, I get to follow Bree! She's pretty hot," Dylan said, leaning back with his hands behind his head.

"Slow your roll bud, I heard she's dating Ethan Howard," I said. "And besides, you won't be talking to her, you have to watch her from a distance."

"Dang," Dylan sighed.

"What are you, Tammy, Brittney, and Liam going to do?" Shane asked. Quinn shrugged.

"We have the biggest challenge of all," he said dramatically, once again.

"Which is?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"We have to keep Ally away." SCREW THAT!
