Nobody's POV

"Check out what I've done with my locker! Tah-dah! Here's where I keep my books. Down here I keep random strands of hair I've collected to make fake mustaches. And here is where I stockpile old lunches, or, as I like to call it, my tum-tum yum-yums." Adam says as he shows Bree and Mia his locker.

"Hey, Leo. What's that?" Bree asks as Leo walks over, a piece of paper in his hand.

"My progress report. I can't believe my science teacher says I'm always late to class." Leo groans.

"Well, you are always late to class." Adam says.

"I know that, but I don't need it publicized." Leo mutters.

"Look at this! An "A-minus"! I knew my Home EC teacher had it out for me. Always criticizing my muffins." Chase snaps running over.

"I got an A+ in Home EC." Mia says.

"You what?!" Chase snaps.

"I got an A+ in Home EC. Apparently I can really cook." Mia chuckles.

"I'm engineered to be the smartest person on the planet, and I just got an "A-minus." Your a 13 year old girl who get distracted by birds flying by a window and you got an A+! I've been relegated to into the huddled, unwashed masses of minuses, like you!" Chase snaps.

"Chase, I know this must me hard for you, but, I mean, look at the bright side- seeing you fall flat on your face is really fun for us!" Adam chuckles.

"I have got to find a way to reclaim my superiority." Chase sighs.

"Well, you could sign up for the Student of the Semester competition." Leo suggests.

"What's that?" Chase asks.

"Every semester, kids compete to see who can best improve the school. Whoever gets the most votes wins free pencils, a bumper sticker, and a cheesy picture of himself on the wall!" Leo explains.

"And that cheesy picture will show everyone that my brilliance reigns supreme! I am so gonna win!" Chase shouts pumping his small fists in the air.

"I call your free pencils! No, wait, I'll take the cheesy picture. Oh gosh, they both sound so good!" Adam chuckles as the bell rings.

"Race ya'!" Adam and Chase shout running off.

"Hey guys! Wait up!" Mia shouts running after them.

"Oh, no. Science class is all the way at the other side of the school. If I'm late again, I'm gonna get detention. Unless..." Leo says turning towards Bree.

"Unless what?" Bree asks.

"I don't want to sound crazy, but can you use your bionic speed to rocket me over to science class while I ride on your back like a fighter pilot?" Leo asks.

"What? No way." Bree gasps.

"Pleeeaaase? It's the only way I'll make it on time." Leo whines.

"Leo, I'm a girl, not a method of public transportation. Besides, no one can see me using my bionics." Bree says.

"But- But there's no one around. Come on! If I don't make it, I'm gonna be in big trouble! Do you really want that on your conscience?" Leo asks.

"I can live with it." Bree says.

"Fine. I guess I just expected more from my... sister." Leo says pulling puppy dog eyes.

"Okay, fine. But just this once. Hold on." Bree says leaning forward. Leo jumps onto her back and she super speeds off, delivering him to his next class.
