*Blue's POV*

This morning, I was in the best mood than I have been in for a whole week. I was nervous, excited, and kind of depressed. I was really looking forward to my date with Keith, he seemed like a super nice guy. Plus, he was super cute when he first saw me.

But Chase...

No. Chase and I had a fight yesterday about this, and he was being unreasonable. Way too unreasonable. He's really stubborn-

And you like that about him.

Do not!

Do too!

Do NOT!

Quit lying to yourself.

Rolling my eyes, I climbed out of bed and swirled into my closet through my dark purple and electric blue room. I've loved it ever since I moved in here, and even though Chase had claimed it to be a guest bedroom, it looks like someone spent hours perfecting it for me.

I ruffled through my clothes, trying to find something date worthy, but not too forward. Keith was taking me out to a concert from one of my... Fewer interests in bands, Masquerade. Have to say, I wish he would've asked me what bands I like before just scheduling for one of his favorite bands. I told Adam, Bree, and Leo last night about it and Leo piped up and said that Chase would never do that to me, he would ask me what I liked first.

                Shaking the memory away from my head, I quickly smoothed on very little makeup (I hate makeup) and did my hair as I slipped on my outfit and looked at myself in the mirror:

                  It wasn't exactly my style, I would have worn something different if Chase were taking me-

      KNOCK IT OFF. THIS NIGHT ISN'T ABOUT CHASE, CHASE ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT HE ISN'T TAKING YOU OUT AND JUST BECAUSE IT HURTS DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. SO STOP THINKING THAT HE EVER WILL CHANGE HIS MIND BECAUSE YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT HE WON'T.

                   Feeling tears brim my eyes, I quickly blinked them away. I tried flushing my emotions away, but they kept climbing back up. I would choose Chase over Keith any day, but right now... It didn't seem like I had a choice.

I hopped downstairs and was greeted with Leo, Adam, Bree, and... Chase sitting at the island in the kitchen. Leo was fixing them all breakfast...huh, he never does that for me!

"Whatcha doin', guys?" I asked, slipping on my mask and forcing a smile and cheery voice. Chase stiffened at my voice, but didn't turn around, Leo looked up at me, but didn't say anything, neither did Adam or Bree.

I pressed my lips together and walked into the kitchen, grabbing a piece of toast off of the plate on the counter and shoved it in my mouth. The Davenports' just stared at their plates, moving their food across the silverware.

This stayed that way until Chase finally raised his gorgeous hazel eyes to look at me and he froze, not taking his eyes off of me. Normally, it would feel weird, but now I felt comfortable under his gaze, though I knew we weren't on good terms right now. The silence felt abnormal and, being me, I tried to shrug it off and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, downing it in 5 seconds and tossing it behind me so that it fell skillfully into the garbage bin.

Chase's eyes widened a bit, but still didn't budge from me while Bree, Adam, and Leo stayed the same.

Finally, I decided that I had had enough, and slammed my hands down on the counter, making all four of them look up at me in surprise as the sound echoed through the room.

They looked a little scared, and I figured it may be because of my eyes which were glowing due to the purple hue on Chase's face.

"Listen up, because I'm not going to repeat myself again. If this is how you guys are going to treat me just because I decided that, yeah, maybe I should go out with Keith, then you can kiss me living here goodbye. I'm sure that the orphanage has an opening." I hissed. "I'm sick of being the center of attention because of how many problems I have, but you guys just turning your backs on me and treating me like I'm invisible isn't going to help my case. So, pack up your crap and move on because I'm going to go out with Keith weather you like it or not. And I know that you guys ship me and Chase being together..." I saw Bree, Leo, and Adam's eyes soften as I looked at Chase, "but I don't think it's going to happen."

I did a quick side-glance at the time and it read 6:47. I still had a little bit of time. Not that I felt welcome.

"Blue..." I snapped my gaze back to Chase who hadn't spoken to me all night. "I just want to know one thing. Why are you even going out with this Keith guy?"

  He narrowed his eyes as he said his name. The others turned to stare at me. Letting out a long sigh, I finally opened my mouth, "I'm going out with him because he's the only one who's ever bothered to ask me out before, that's why."

And then I turned and left out the door leaving behind a gaping Chase and a bunch of startled teens.

*Keith's POV*   

               I was sitting in my car outside of Blue's house, well, the Davenports' house... Oh my gosh, I hate those guys so dang much.

                Blue came out of the house in a heap of anger and I watched her as she paced along walkway, not noticing me. I smiled slowly to myself as I watched her. She was so cute dressed like that... Too bad I wasn't actually taking her out on a date.

                 "S2," I heard my name get called through my head. Yeah, I know, game changer, right? "Is the girl with you?"

                 I nodded. "Yes, she's coming."

  Krane laughed on the other end of my brain. "Good... Once they find out that we have Blue, they'll come running...right into our trap," he both laughed. "but by then, she'll already be dead."

                I know! Cliffhanger, right?

.................................

       Okay.
So, you may be sorta confused. So, Keith is NOT an android. He's one of Krane's main soldiers, and Keith actually used to be a pretty nice guy. So, Keith is not an exchange student, he made up that lie and hypnotized Samantha to get her to believe him. And the whole thing with him on the stage and Blue? Fake. All of it is fake.
       He's dangerous, and he's planning on killing Blue with Krane, using her as a trap to lull the Davenports' into their lair once they realize she's missing.
