At McKayla's house.

McKayla and Trent are in the living room, McKayla is cutting Trent's hair, he watches TV while she cuts his hair.

"Be careful!" Trent says "Man if you shut up I'll be a lot more careful" McKayla says irritated.

"Is it over yet?" Trent says "Hurry is the enemy of perfection, brother" McKayla says calmly.

Trent rolls his eyes, McKayla smiles "Oh my God what is that?!" McKayla pretends to be scared "What?" Trent's eyes widen "Is that...blood? Oh my god, I cut your ear off!!!" McKayla dramatizes, Trent screams "Ahh!! what?!" Trent puts his hand to his ear and when he feels it, he looks at McKayla who looks at him with a small smile.

McKayla laughs "I'm just kidding, I'm done" McKayla says sweetly "It's not funny" Trent says "Yes it is" McKayla says, Mason enters the house after working in the garden and passes them into the living room.

"I'm going to sleep" Mason says looking tired and stressed "Alright, but it's still early" Trent says "I'm tired, son" Manson says "But I was going to make dinner today, and..." McKayla says excitedly, taking some papers and taking them to him.

"I did you a favor and researched security job openings, and on top of that I organized them according to salary from highest to lowest, see?" McKayla shows him the notes with a gentle smile on her face.

Mason tilts his head, moved by his daughter's effort "Thank you, sweetie. This...will help a lot" Mason says hugging McKayla "We can have dinner and see which of these jobs is best for you" Trent suggests.

Mason sighs "Seriously, I've been working in the garden all day, I'm tired" Mason says putting his hand on Trent's shoulder.

"It's okay, we understand. Go rest dad" McKayla says giving her father a kiss on the cheek and going to the kitchen, Trent passes him, patting him on the back and goes with McKayla, Mason sighs and goes to his room.

In the kitchen, McKayla looks for a pan and Trent sighs sitting at the table "Man, I feel terrible seeing him like this" Trent says playing with the string of his sweatshirt, McKayla sighs and takes a pan.

"Me too, losing his job has affected him, he's very stressed" McKayla says, Trent leans on the table "Do you think we're going to be poor?" Trent says, McKayla glares at him "Of course not Trent!" McKayla says.

"I'm just saying, you know that just our mom's job isn't enough to pay for school, your dance classes, my football practice, the house and the bills" Trent says, McKayla thinks for a few seconds "That's a fact" McKayla says

"I think the solution is obvious...you're going to have to stop taking dance classes" Trent says "What?!" McKayla says indignantly putting her hand on her hips "Cost cutting sis!" Trent says it like it's obvious.

McKayla rolls her eyes "What about your football pratice?" McKayla says "I'm not quitting football!" Trent says "and I'm not quitting dance!" McKayla says, Trent groans and stands up.

McKayla puts water in the pan "I wanted to do something to help" Trent says "You can make the sauce" McKayla says taking the pan to the stove "Not you, dad!" Trent says.

"Oh..." McKayla says "You know it would be nice to show him for once that I'm really trying..." Trent sighs "I know he thinks I'm an idiot" Trent says, McKayla shakes her head "No, he dosen't" McKayla says.

"Even if he doesn't think so, I've never done anything to make him proud, have I?" Trent crosses his arms, McKayla looks at him with pity. True, Mason rarely praised Trent.

"I followed in all his footsteps, I'm a jock, the captain of the team just like he was, and I'm very good at it... so what else am I supposed to do?" Trent says "right now you can help by getting a job, a job that dad would be proud of. Besides, it would help with the bills," McKayla says.

"But how am I going to get a job that he'll be proud of if I'm not even schooled yet" Trent says, McKayla points at him "Okay, start small, graduate from school, that will make dad very happy" McKayla says.

Trent shakes his head "If you think he thinks you're stupid, prove him wrong!" McKayla says, Trent runs his hand over his chin thoughtfully "yeah, I think I can do this..." Trent snaps his fingers having an idea "I can really do this, I already know how!" Trent says excitedly.

"Uh do you?" McKayla asks "yeah!" Trent smiles "I don't think you're going to achieve a miracle that easily" McKayla chuckles "Ha.ha.ha" Trent scoffs.

In the cafeteria.

Perry walks in "Greetings, puke puddles! Tomorrow is yearbook photo day and, while I'm not sure why anyone would want a record of this awkward phase of your lives..." Perry looks at boy with pimples "Ugh... I'll be your photographer. Oh, and don't blink, 'cause homie don't do retakes! Ha ha!" Perry laughs and leaves.

Bree, Adam and Leo are at a table "Well, that settles that. I am so getting my hair done right after school." Bree says "Oh! Can you bring me back some clippings off the floor? I need 'em to finish building my "Taj Mahair." Adam places The Taj Mahair on the table.

"Where did all of that hair come from?" Bree asks with disgust "Pets, shower drains, brushes...If you want it, you can get it." Adam says "Well, that is disgusting." Bree says "Yeah. Well, if you think that's gross, wait until you see "Buckinghair Palace."" Adam says.

Chase approaches holding an orange and stops behind Bree and Adam "Why are you so concerned about a stupid yearbook photo?" Leo asks "I am still trying to live down last year's picture when I wasn't ready for the flash and my eyes glitched." Bree holds her yearbook photo from last year where she looked like a zombie.

"Ughh." Adam and Chase says "Bree, your zombie picture was the least of the problems with the yearbook. Perry photo-bombed every group picture. Drama club..." Chase says, Bree flips the page "Cheerleaders.." Chase says Bree flips page "Swim team...""No!" Leo grabs book out of Bree's hands "No, no, no! None of us need to see that again." Leo says stunned.

"uh Hey have you guys seen McKayla?" Chase asks "The last time I saw her she was with Trent" Bree says "You guys didn't just come out of a chemistry class together. Dude, let the girl breathe for a sec!" Leo says, Chase shakes his head and sits down at the table.

"The thing is, I used to go to her house after school almost every day, but now her dad is unemployed and is spending the whole day at home and I can't go there anymore" Chase says "Why not?" Adam says "Cuz... he's freaking scary!" Chase says with emphasis, widening his eyes.

"Stop Chase, I'm sure he's not that bad" Bree says "You haven't seen the guy! He looks like a fusion of Rambo and Arnold Schwarzenegger. When I met him he was holding a shovel and I saw in his eyes that he wasn't afraid to use it!" Chase says, Bree Adam and Leo look at each other trying to contain their laughter.

"And not only that, I don't want to go there and get McKayla in trouble because of me." Chase says "But you guys are just friends" Adam says "Try to convince Terminator Balboa of that!" Chase raises his eyebrows.

The bell rings and all of the students walk into the main hallway "Move thirty-two! Hut! Hut!" Trent says, a football player passes the ball to Trent and he throws it across the room.

"Yeah! Boom! Yeah!" Trent says "Trent, what are you doing?" Chase says "Using football practice as an excuse to knock over innocent bystanders." Trent smiles.

"But it's not even football season." Leo says "True, but it's always tackling season. Heads up!" Trent throws the ball to Leo and all of the football players tackle him while he screams.

Leo is lying on the floor and Trent goes to him "Let me help you up." Trent extends his hand "Yeah, right. I'm not falling for that." Leo says he is suspicious "Oh, don't worry. I'm only being nice 'cause I need something." Trent smiles and lifts Leo to his feet.

"You guys..." Trent unwrinkles Chase's shirt "are gonna help me past my history test." Trent says "You don't even take history. The only class you have left is physics." Chase says.

"And since when do you care about taking tests?" Leo asks "There is a lot about me you don't know. I have many layers. I am very dense." Trent says, Chase smirk "Hmm. Yes. Yes, you are." Chase says sarcastically, Trent tries to maintain his posture, it's not pleasant for him to have to ask for help like that but it's what the situation he finds himself in requires.

"Look, Perry says I can't fail again." Trent says "Oh, but you can. It's kind of your thing." Chase mocks, Trent rolls his eyes "Come on, there's gotta be some kind of trick. Like, what's that thing you do that makes you pass tests?" Trent asks "It's called studying." Leo says, Trent stares at him for a few seconds "What else you got?" Trent asks.

"How about this? We help you pass, you move football practice back outside." Leo suggests, Trent smiles slightly "Yeah. I guess I could do that." Trent pats Leo on the back and walks over to the football players "Hmm. That was easy." Chase says.

"Come on, guys, we're taking this outside. And we're gonna need some tackling dummies..." Trent says, the football players grab Chase and Leo and carry them outside while they scream.

McKayla sees the commotion on the stairs and looks at Trent "You'll be proud of me at the end of this!" Trent says "I doubt it" McKayla says "I'll throw it in your face later" Trent says leaving, McKayla shakes her head whit a smile.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

In the living room of the Davenports' house

Chase and Leo walk in "Man, I can't stand Trent. Why do we have to help him pass his test?" Chase complains "Because he's big and we're small. Because Perry likes him and hates us. Because he has all the power and we don't. I could go on and on and on." Leo says and Chase rolls his eyes.

"And last but not least he's the older brother of the girl you dream about every night" Leo says, Chase looks at him with a distressed look, Leo chuckles "Yeah, Adam told me...McKayla uumm!" Leo closes his eyes and pouts with kissing sounds, doing an impression of Chase when he sleeps. Chase instantly turns red and pushes Leo lightly "Stop!" Chase says irritated and embarrassed.

"You know, since he needs our help, technically we have the power in the situation. We control what he learns." Chase walks across the room "Ah, yes. I'm gonna speak in a tone that suggests I know where you're going with this, but wait for you to tell me more." Leo smiles.

Chase walks back, holding up a pair of glasses "These are Davenglasses." Chase says, Leo takes the glasses "Gee, someone needs to have their name on everything." Leo says Chase nods.

"They're a subliminal learning device that helps the user rapidly memorize any programmed information. Here, check out demo mode." Chase explains, Leo puts on the glasses and Chase presses a button on them.

A recorded narration from Mr Davenport starts playing in the glasses " The world knows Donald Davenport as the most successful tech mogul of Silicon Valley, but he's so much more. A true fashionista, he's even able to make sequins manly. Let's have a look." Leo takes the glasses off "No, let's not have a look." Leo says.

"Okay, those are cool and all, but how are they gonna help us with Trent?" Leo asks "We'll get even with him by programming the glasses with fake facts." Chase says "The glasses said that Big D looks manly. They're already programmed with fake facts." Leo says.

Mason installs a garden herb on the wall of the house below McKayla's window.

Brooke arrives from work and sees him there, she stops and crosses her arms knowing exactly what is going on in her husband's head.

"What's that, Mase?" Brooke asks, Mason quickly turns to her "Do you like it? It's a type of vertical garden, you always wanted a herb garden and...since we're out of space" Mason says putting his hand on his hip, proud of his work.

"Of course, it was just by chance that you put that under McKayla's window blocking the way" Brooke says sarcastically "Wait? It blocks the way?..." Mason looks at the window and chuckles lightly "Oh look, it really blocks it, well. What a shame huh!" Mason pretends to be sorry shrugging, Brooke rolls her eyes "You're ridiculous" Brooke says.

"What did I do?" Mason says "You know very well what" Brooke says irritated "Maybe it's you seeing things" Mason says, taking a wheelbarrow and taking it to the back of the house.

Brooke sighs "Mason, stop it. Why do you want to ruin it for her?" Brooke says "I'm not ruining it, I just don't see why he would have to come in through her window when he can just as well come in through the front door like a normal person" Mason says "Look in the mirror and you'll see why!" Brooke says.

"Really? I'm the problem?" Mason says "Yes, like always" Brooke says "I just see a father taking care of his daughter, I don't even know who this boy is or his intentions with her" Mason says walking past Brooke.

Brooke smirks "Well, since you never asked...His name is Chase, he's in the same class as McKayla at school, he has two brothers and a sister, he's Donald and Tasha Davenport's son. He's a genius and your daughter's best friend, besides being an extremely sweet and gentle boy who from what I understand wouldn't be capable of hurting even a fly" Brooke says.

Mason looks at her for a few seconds "You just described a weakling to me" Mason says, Brooke looks at him irritated "Mason! I'm just saying he's a good boy who would never hurt our daughter" Brooke says "She was the one who told you all this? did you knew about this boy?" Mason says.

"Yes, she doesn't stop talking about him and only good things" Brooke says "Obviously you only know what a naive, passionate teenage girl told you" Mason says "No! I've seen the two of them together, I've never seen your daughter so happy" Brooke says firmly.

"What do you mean by happy?" Mason asks suspiciously, Brooke groans and rolls her eyes "You're unbelievable! Look, I give up! Let's talk when you're not in that paranoid episode" Brooke says.

"Wait!" Mason says, Brooke stops in the way "Okay, maybe I overreacted" Mason says hesitantly, Brooke nods "But you need to understand that I don't like the idea of ​​McKayla locked in her room all afternoon with a boy like that" Mason says, Brooke takes a deep breath.

"If they're just friends they might as well hang out in the living room, with me in the next room!" Mason says "Mase" Brooke rolls her eyes "Seriously, I don't know what they talked about so much that they couldn't talk about in front of us." Mason says.

"I have spoken!" Mason says firmly and leaves, Brooke sighs. She does not agree with Mason's behavior, unlike him who is not prepared with the possibility of his daughter having romantic feelings for someone. Brooke feels extremely proud especially of everything she heard about Chase.

Brooke feels fulfilled in seeing that McKayla is growing up and becoming a woman who is aware of her own choices and feelings. Even if at the same time she misses seeing her daughter like a baby in her arms, she doesn't let this feeling of attachment to the past take over, unlike Mason who wants to continue living in this moment as long as possible.

In the living room of the Davenports' house.

Chase and Leo are sitting on the couch when the doorbell rings, Chase giggles "That's Trent!" Chase says excitedly, Leo frowns "You know, when you laugh like that, I can see how Trent picks on you." Leo says.

They get up "And as much as I want to get even with him, isn't this just gonna blow up in our face when he fails the test?" Leo asks "Or maybe he'll never want our help again. Just like you always do a bad job with the dishes so you don't have to do 'em anymore." Chase says.

"Hey, that's only because of my sensitive skin. These dandy hands don't dance in dishwater." Leo does a little dance with his hands, the doorbell rings again and Chase answers it.

Trent without looking directly at them "All right, let's make this quick. I got a full schedule tonight." Trent takes off his backpack "Of what, terrorizing kids and destroying private property?" Leo asks "Yeah." Trent says, of course it's a lie but it's part of the reputation he plays.

Trent goes to the fridge and grabs a bowl, Chase and Leo walks over to him "Okay, Trent, since you asked us to help you study for your test, we decided to let you in on a little secret as to how we study and get good grades." Chase says "Is your secret having no friends, don't kiss girls and being bad at sports?" Trent says, Chase forces laughter "This guy..." Chase says through his teeth.

Try goes towards the living room sofa and Chase and Leo follow him "Look, all you have to do is wear these special glasses for the next few hours. These will implant facts into your brain." Chase says holding up The glasses "I don't need the "facts," I need the answers." Trent says "Those are in there, too." Leo says "Mm-hmm." Chase agrees, Trent sighs rolling his eyes, Chase hands Trent the glasses and he puts them on.

Chase voiceover starts "Here is everything you need to know about physics." Leo voiceover starts "Kinetic energy is the study of energy in Connecticut."

"Duh. Who doesn't know that?" Trent says, Leo and Chase look at each other, holding back a smile.

Chase voiceover continues "Sir Isaac Newton chopped down his father's cherry tree and then lied about it."

"Oh. I thought that was George Washington." Trent says

Leo voiceover continues "Thermal expansion occurs when you eat something hot and get huge."

"My uncle has that!" Trent takes off The glasses, he gets up from the couch.

"These are awesome! It's just like TV except without commercials, or my mom telling me to put on pants." Trent says excitedly and leaves.

Later, McKayla is painting her nails at the kitchen table when Mason walks in.

He looks at her calmly "Hi princess" Mason says "Hey dad" McKayla says gently "Want lemonade?" Mason says taking a pitcher of lemonade from the fridge.

"Of course" McKayla says, Mason sits at the table and pours two glasses of lemonade "so Mack...how are you?" Mason pushes the glass of lemonade towards McKayla, she frowns suspiciously "am I...fine?" McKayla says confused.

"Great, so...tell me a little about this Chase guy" Mason leans on the table, McKayla sighs and looks at him "Dad" McKayla says uncomfortable and slightly irritated.

"Hey I just want to know, if you plan on bringing this guy here I want to know a little more about him" Mason says and takes a sip of lemonade.

"He's nothing to worry about, Dad," McKayla says, with the polish on her nails, "if that's the case, why haven't you ever told me about him?" Mason says "because I was trying to avoid these conversations we're having right now" McKayla says uncomfortable.

"You like him?" Mason asks, McKayla throws her head back "he's polite Dad, he would never do something you didn't approve of" McKayla says "Do you like him?" Mason asks again but this time more firmly, McKayla sighs.

"Yes, dad, I like him, he's my best friend" McKayla says, Mason tilts his head "Okay! I really like him, please don't pick on him. He doesn't deserve to be treated like that" McKayla says worriedly.

"That's for me to decide" Mason says, McKayla shakes her head "I'm serious dad, he's not like the others he's different... very different from the other kids on levels you have no idea about" McKayla says thoughtfully, she thinks about bionics but to Mason that sentence just sounded really weird.

Mason frowns with a suspicious look "I...I've never felt that way about anyone. So please dad, just give him a chance" McKayla says taking Mason's arm, he looks at her thoughtfully.

"You're not dating this boy, are you?" Mason asks "not even close" McKayla gives a forced and awkward smile, Mason scoffs. He knows that McKayla doesn't usually lie, and that she is being sincere, he understands that the situation is still under control.

He still has time to analyze the situation, and determine whether or not Chase is good enough for his daughter, although he highly doubts he is "Okay, I'll think about this" Mason rolls his eyes, McKayla smiles gently.

"thanks for understanding, dad" McKayla says, Mason shrugs showing that it's not like he has any other choice. McKayla chuckles, she knew how her father thinks, she understands the situation and his concerns.

His biggest fear is that Chase is a superficial boy, who just wants to take advantage of the situation, who doesn't really care about McKayla and once he reaches a goal he disappears, and that she is giving her heart to it.

McKayla hugs him and tries to comfort him "Relax, you will always be my number one man, and my hero" McKayla says softly, Mason leans his head against hers and caresses her arm "I know, princess" Mason says.

Suddenly Trent slams his face into the kitchen door frame with Davenglasses on "Owch!" Trent says, McKayla and Mason look at him confused "Sorry, I'm just studying" Trent says leaving.

In the school main hallway.

Trent is waiting for his test results, waiting anxiously in front of Perry's office door. Chase is hiding on the staircase watching Trent when Leo walks over.

"Has Trent got his test results yet?" Leo asks "No, but he's about to. I can't wait to see his face when he finds out how badly he did." Chase says

"You do know he's gonna come after us and we can't outrun him, right?" Leo says, Chase turns to him "Oh. I don't have to outrun him. I just have to outrun you." Chase says calmly and turns to look at Trent.

Perry walks out of her office and over to Trent "Well, Trent, I got the score back on your physics test. You got a hundred percent...""Yes!!!" Trent celebrates "Of the answers wrong." Perry concludes, Chase and Leo silently cheer from the staircase.

"Wait. What? That's impossible. I got help from Dooley and Not-Dooley. They even gave me these magic learning glasses." Trent holds the glasses "Magic learning glasses? That's dumb even for you." Perry says.

"Wait, I don't get it. They learned me things." Trent says desperately "They set you up, feather-brain!" Perry says.

"Uhhh! When I find them, I am gonna do this to them!" Trent snaps the glasses in half furious "Except it's gonna take longer and be a lot more painful." Trent leaves and Perry spots Chase and Leo trying to run away.

"Hey! Smokey! Bandit! Get down here!" Perry says, Chase and Leo reluctantly walk down the staircase to Perry "I hope you two are happy." Perry says "Well, since you asked, I would say we feel ecstatic. What word would you use, Leo?" Chase says satisfied "I feel complete." Leo says.

"Well, enjoy that victory, because if Trent had passed that class, he would have finally graduated. Still feel complete?" Perry clicks her tongue and walks away.

"Wait, so that means...""We missed our chance to get rid of Trent forever." Chase completes Leo's sentence.

Trent runs into the hallway and spots Chase and Leo "There you are. I'm gonna chop you down like Sir Isaac Newton's cherry tree." Trent says.

"I may be slow, but I do know how to play dirty! Yah!" Leo stomps on Chase's foot and runs out of the school, while Chase grabs his foot in pain, Trent growls and Chase runs out of the school screaming.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

In the main hallway.

Chase and Leo run up to Perry and Trent follows "Principal Perry, help! Trent is chasing us!" Leo screams "Aah! Get off me! The state says I can't fight back, but if I cared what the state said, I wouldn't have wallpapered my kitchen with parking tickets!" Perry says.

"Look, we're sorry for setting Trent up. Just please, please give him another chance. We'll help him study. For real this time." Chase says "Don't trust him! It's a trap! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...I'm gonna hit you!" Trent lunges but Perry blocks him.

"Well, since it wasn't technically Trent's fault, he can retake the test tomorrow." Perry says "Ooh! Burn! 'Cause of you two, I gotta take another test." Trent says in a thin voice "Wait. What?" Trent turns to Perry.

"That gives you two the rest of the day to help him study." Perry says "So you don't care if we skip our classes today?" Leo asks "I care very little about you." Perry shakes her head.

In the gym.

Chase writes on a whiteboard while Trent is doodling in a notebook "Pressure equals force...over...?" Chase asks but Trent writes something and turns around his notebook to reveal a drawing.

"What is that?" Leo asks "Trentosaurus rex. I'm about to eat you." Trent says "Okay. Maybe he's more of a visual learner." Leo says.

...

"So this demonstrates conservation of momentum." Chase says as he initiates conservation of momentum on a pendulum Trent continues drawing in his notebook "Are you drawing another Trentosaurus rex?" Chase asks "No!" Trent shows them the drawing "It's a Trentodactyl. Guess what he eats?"  Trent says

"You're hopeless." Leo says "Oh, really?" Trent says, he throws ball that hits Chase, who falls into Leo, who knocks over a cart of gym balls, Trent laughs "Now that's conservation of momentum." Trent says.

"I'm starting to think he only learns when people get hurt." Leo says "We can use that!" Chase says "What?" Leo asks "He has a very specific way of recording things, just like McKayla. I once converted math formulas into dance steps for her to learn" Chase says "ok, what about Trent...?" Leo asks.

...

Leo strapped up in a giant gyroscope "I didn't like it!" Leo says "Okay, so here's how it works. For every question you answer correctly, you get to spin the gyroscope. The more you get right, the more Leo suffers." Chase says enthusiastically.

"Wait. What?" Leo says scared "Awesome!" Trent celebrates "Nope, not awesome." Leo says.

"Okay, first question. How do you calculate force?" Chase asks "Oh! I know this one! Uh, mass times..." Trent tries to think "Picture Leo spinning fast..." Chase tells Trent "Acceleration!" Trent says "He's right!" Chase says enthusiastically "Nope. Nope." Leo made desperate, Trent laughs while Leo protests, and then spins Leo.

...

Chase asks Trent several questions and he starts to get several right in a row and with each question Leo is spun faster.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

The next day in the gym.

Chase and Leo are pacing "What do we do if Trent doesn't pass?" Chase asks "I don't know about you, but I'm gonna aim for your other foot and run." Leo says, Chase rolls his eyes "I really hope he passes" Chase says looking forward.

"You're not even speaking for him, all you can think about is all the time you can spend with McKayla without Trent around" Leo says, Chase gives a little smile.

"What about me?" McKayla walks in, Chase and Leo look at each other "uh...if Trent passes you'll be very happy" Chase smiles nervously, McKayla frowns slightly.

Perry walks in "Well done, boys. Trent passed and finally graduated. He's no longer a student at Mission Creek High." Perry says "Yes!" Chase and Leo say "Seriously!" McKayla says excitedly.

"He's society's problem now!" Leo says, McKayla frowns at Leo, suddenly they hear a whistle blow and Trent walks in "Hi, nerds, miss me?" Trent says wearing a school uniform.

"Trent, you graduated. You don't have to be here anymore." Chase says "Yeah, shouldn't you be working at a gas station or living at a gas station? You belong at a gas station." Leo says.

"Nope, he belongs here. I just hired Trent as the new gym teacher." Perry says "Oh my God, what?!" McKayla smiles "That's right. From now on it's "Mister" Trent." Trent says confidently "Woah! Trent that's amazing!" McKayla runs up to Trent and hugs him.

"That's cold, Terry Perry. That's cold." Leo says "He needed the job and fulfills all the requirements...Dirt cheap, high school grad, and he almost passed the psychological exam. Did better than me, anyway." Perry says, Leo and Chase look at each other worriedly.

McKayla smiles "I'm so proud of you, I knew you could do it!" McKayla proudly says "I can't wait to get home and blow that whistle in Dad's face!" Trent says "Don't do that, he's going to make you swallow this whistle" McKayla says, Trent shrugs.

"Thanks for all your help, guys. Now I get paid to torture you." Trent smiles, McKayla presses her lips together looking embarrassed at Chase and Leo "I don't care what my dad says, I can graduate high school and I'll make it worth it!" Trent says.

Trent puts his arm around McKayla and walks over to Chase "And Mack your boyfriend and I had a really fun time together!" Trent puts his other arm around Chase, McKayla looks at Chase shyly "And I would like to make it clear to both of you that I don't completely hate him" Trent says pleasantly.

Chase and McKayla look at each other awkwardly "Uh...Thanks Trent... it means a lot" Chase says distressed and nervous at the same time "Okay Trent I think we understand" McKayla looks down, trying to get out of this situation, Trent looks at the two.

"Well, that being said...you two have fun" Trent whispers to the two and pushes them against each other, releasing them, Chase and McKayla ends up bumping into each other, McKayla bumping into his chest and Chase lightly bumping his chin into her forehead.

This was Trent's way of telling them that he actually likes Chase, and appreciates the help he gave him. And also a way to tell McKayla that he supports and would even like to see the two together, However, this is an awkward gesture of affection that only someone who knows Trent very well, like McKayla, would understand.

McKayla puts her hand on Chase's chest and slowly moves away from him, as Chase blushes putting his hand on his chin that he bumped on her forehead, McKayla laughs gently at her brother's gesture "Sorry" McKayla says.

"It's okay" Chase runs his hand over her forehead and his hand goes to her hair, quickly brushing her hair away from her face. As soon as her eyes meet his, he puts his hands in his pockets.

"thank you so much for helping my brother, you have no idea how much he needed this" McKayla says calmly, her hand still on his chest slowly moves a little lower.

"Uh, but you know about the glasses thing, right?" Chase says nervously "I know, but you did the right thing in the end and he kind of deserved it too..." McKayla says, Chase chuckles not at her comment itself but to relieve nervousness.

McKayla looks into his eyes "But still, that was really nice of you" McKayla says softly, moving her hand down his stomach quickly before pulling away, Chase swallows hard feeling a strong shiver throughout his body, he takes a deep breath "why does she do that to me?!" He thinks trying to stay calm.

"Mm-hmm" Chase says, that's all he can say "Thank you really" McKayla says blushing and putting her hands behind her back as she walks away from him "You're welcome" Chase says quickly, McKayla smiles and goes after Trent.

Chase finally allows himself to breathe normally again and turns to Leo "Oh yeah, you're definitely going to dream about this tonight" Leo smiles and nods, Chase closes his eyes and sighs frustrated with the comment.
