In the Lab, Bree was texting and Chase and Adam were playing ping pong on the cyber desk, Leo is watching waiting for one of the two to lose his turn to play, Mr Davenport walks in the Lab "Adam, everyone, I have some good news!" Mr Davenport says "oh are you finally going to let me go on a mission as part of the team?" Leo says "No!" Mr Davenport says "Will you let me have a party at your new beach house?" Bree says "Only in your dreams young lady" Mr Davenport says.
"What's Mr Davenport?" Chase asks, Mr Davenport walks towards Adam "I got Harper out of jail" Mr Davenport says "wow seriously!?" Adam says excitedly "how did you get that?" Chase asks "well I can definitely say that girl is something money can buy!" Mr Davenport says "I bailed her out and also had to pay an extra fee to get them to pardon her....who needs all that money right?" Mr Davenport says in a pained tone almost crying.
"Mr Davenport this is amazing!" Adam hugs him "I know how much you like this girl and in the middle of the process I got to know her better and realized that in fact she is not like her sisters...she was forced to work for them since she was a child so for the first time she will know what freedom is....Krane raised them locked up at home" Mr Davenport says "wow what kind of nut raises kids locked in somewhere?" Bree says, Mr Davenport glares at her.
"she never went to school so I enrolled her in your high school, So she'll know what it's like to be a normal teenager" Mr Davenport says "of course because every normal teenager goes from a maximum security prison to a classroom!" Chase says sarcastically "Sure, before you went to a classroom where were you again, Chase?" Leo says "in an underground lab" Chase says quietly thoughtful.
"that's why she worked in the cafeteria" Adam says "Yes she got this job hidden from her sisters to try to have a normal life" Mr Davenport says "I liked her, maybe she'll be the only girl who will really understand how I feel about being trapped my hole life" Bree says "no way, she's already my best friend" Adam says.
"do your best to make her feel welcome, you know how that feels" Mr Davenport says "Why are you so helpful with her all of a sudden?" Bree asks "I talked to her and realized that she can be very useful, she can help you guys on missions with the field experience she has" Mr Davenport says "finally someone cool who knows our bionic secret!" Adam says "what about me?" Leo says "you're old news" Adam says, Leo roll his eyes.
......................................................................
They go to school, Principal Perry walks in "hey y'all!" She says "Ah the day was too bright to be real!" Leo says frustrated "I didn't feel like seeing your face either today Dooley...If I could I would trade you all for George Clooney" Perry says "poor George Clooney" Adam says.
"Donald told me there's a new student coming out of prison....then tell me" Perry approaches them "is she a bionic freak too?" Perry ask "No" Chase says "she's a trained assassin freak" Bree smiles "What?" Perry says "it's not really like that either she's just a girl with advanced fighting training who must have robbed a millionaire or two against her will.... just silly" Leo says sarcastically "I'm worried about the direction my students are taking at this school....who's going to be next, an alien?" Perry says "Actually we're still the weirdest things in this school" Adam says "no no the weirdest thing is standing right here!" Leo points at Perry, she makes an annoyed face and goes to her office.
"you know I think deep down we're Perry's favorites" Bree says "you saying that woman has room for any kind of affection inside her?" Chase questions "yeah that's crazy, forget It!" Bree says.
......................................................................
They hear police sirens, along with police car lights, Harper walks into the school with a backpack and an angry face, the police continue to make noise "Turn up the siren I don't think China heard it yet!!" Harper says irritated.
All the students look at her strangely "yes I was in prison...what did you guys do on vacation!?" Harper says in part embarrassment for being in this situation and another pissed off that everyone made such a mess about it, she closes her eyes and sighs.
"Harper!!" Adam says excitedly running up to her "Adam!!" Harper says surprised to see him, she runs to him and opens her arms to hug him, and he hugs her tightly lifting her off the ground, he puts her down "I told you I wasn't going to be there for so long" Harper says "you kept your promise!" Adam says.
"hey!" Leo says walking over with Chase and Bree "hi guys!" Harper says "welcome to school" Chase says and Bree agrees, Harper smile at them "how it feels to leave one prison and come to another....only with more chairs and less delinquents" Leo says "I feel great I've always wanted to come to school" Harper says "We know the feeling...but trust me all you'll realize about coming to school is that you don't want to come to school" Bree says "why not?" Harper says "because here they teach us stuff" Adam says "And... isn't that exactly the fun?" Harper says "Exactly!! thanks for saying that!" Chase says "Chase don't be too quick, the girl hasn't even had a class yet" Leo says.
......................................................................
Perry comes out of her office "Oh you must be the delinquent Davenport has been talking about so much" Perry says, Harper turns to her "this is Principal Perry" Adam says to Harper "Ooh! the Principal Perry!" Harper says "yup!" Adam says "listen here young lady, you may be the boss of the hole you came out of but here I make the rules and you obey them!" Perry tells her in a menacing tone "Is this garden gnome supposed to scare me?" Harper says quietly to them "she scares us tho" Leo says.
"hey I'm talking to you!" Perry says "I'm listening!" Harper says "you might even try to act like a bad girl but I know how to deal with people like you" Perry says "I wouldn't say I'm a bad girl" Harper says adjusting the collar of the leather jacket she wears.
"I'm just a girl...who isn't afraid of you...Terry!" Harper says, seeing Perry's name on the badge "uuuuh!" Adam, Bree, Chase and Leo say together "Oh yeah! Sure you want to start like that, pretty?" Perry says "in my defense you were the one who threatened me first so..." Harper says.
"You'll regret it. If you think you're better just because you've been in prison because, guess what? I've been to!" Perry says "I don't think I'm better, I'm just defending my space" Harper says pulling away from her a little "Uh should we interfere or...?" Chase says "shh shut up Chase, someone is finally doing what we've all always wanted to do" Leo says.
"you're going to regret this" Perry says "what exactly are you going to do?" Harper crosses her arms staring at Perry from above "you can say goodbye to the nice, quiet experience of a school" Perry says "wait? Are you saying the rest of us have the calm and peaceful experience of a school?" Leo says, Perry shrugs "Good luck" Leo says grabbing Harper's shoulder "if this is the smooth experience... I don't wanna know what the hectic one is" Bree says "whatever it is...I can take it" Harper says "we'll see...we'll see" Perry says walking backwards threatening Harper with her eyes.
......................................................................
It's lunch time, they are in line for lunch, Harper is next to Adam in line, Bree, Chase and Leo are already at the table, Adam takes the food and leaves, Harper is next "no! not her! "Perry enters the cafeteria "how is it?" Harper says "she's just going to eat the rice with no side dish or dessert" Perry tells the lunch lady.
"what? That's ridiculous, you can put salad and potatoes on my plate!" Harper tells the lunch lady "Move one finger and you're fired!" Perry says to her "okay I'll put it myself!" Harper says, trying to take the lunch lady's spoon, Perry grabs her hand trying to stop her, the two fight over the spoon.
"that's the weirdest thing I've seen this week" Bree says "Weirder than Adam trying to talk to a dog?" Chase says "he looked like he wanted to tell me something...they always do" Adam says.
Harper puts the spoon down "You know what!? I don't need a spoon!" Harper takes the salad in her hand and puts it on the plate "I'm on a diet anyway" Harper says irritated, she goes to the table with the others and sits down.
Perry takes megaphone "Attention anyone who sits or talks with student Harper Krane will have 30 points lowered in their grades and will receive detention!" Perry says with a tone of pride in her voice, everyone looks at each other "You can only be kidding!?" Harper says indignantly looking at Perry.
Everyone stands up "what!? Come on guys!" Harper says "Adam! Sit down! You don't even care about grades!!" Harper says "yeah But I can't do detention I need to see if that dog is still there" Adam says as he leaves.
"I'll meet a boy after school so..." Bree gets up and leaves "I'm already catching up on some subjects I need every trace grade possible" Leo says walking out.
Chase gets up "oh please Chase!" Harper says "she's going to take it out of my grades" Chase says he tries to leave "Chase!" Harper grabs his arm.
"she won't take your grades" Harper says "why not?" Chase says "because that's NONSENSE!" Harper angrily says in Perry's direction.
"I wouldn't stay there, if I didn't want a zero in chemistry" Perry says, Chase makes a scared face and looks at Harper, she rolls her eyes and lets go of his arm.
"Okay That's enough, right!?" Harper gets up "as you wish" Perry leaves the cafeteria and goes down the hall where Adam and the rest are, Harper follows her.
"okay Terry, you've proven your power....But now it's my turn" Harper says "yeah! what are you going to do!?" Perry asks "I'll give you one last chance" Harper says "and if I don't take it" Perry says "you'll see..." Harper says threatening Perry with her eyes "I don't know if she's too crazy or too innocent and doesn't know what she's getting into" Leo says "I'll go with the crazy one" Adam says.
......................................................................
At the Davenport mansion, Chase and Leo are in the living room watching a movie, suddenly Harper opens the door indignantly "hey Harper what's up?" Leo says "okay, I know I'm new to this school thing but, Is it normal to be bullied by the principal!?" Harper says, Chase stands up "What did she do now?" Chase asks "She literally paid cheerleaders to make jokes and laugh at me...And to top it off there's a "kick me" sign on my back!" Harper turns around showing the sign on her back.
"wow you really took the woman out of seriously" Leo says "she's crazy!" Harper says "tell me something we don't know" Leo says "look you're the one who started arguing with her!" Chase says "what am I supposed to do? Stand there and let her talk to me like that?" Harper says, Adam sneaks up behind Harper when he sees the "kick me" sign on her back, she feels his presence "Adam Don't even think About it!" Harper says without even turning around "Sorry" Adam says, she takes the sign off her back.
"I need to get this fixed" Harper says "are you going to fight Principal Perry!?" Adam says "no, are you crazy?" Harper says "yeah Adam think a bit...Harper is a super well-trained fighter since she was a kid....she doesn't even have a chance against Perry!" Leo says, Harper makes a confused face "you can lock her in a school locker...that's what bullies do" Adam says "I don't want to be a bully to her..." Harper says "Too bad because I was about to suggest putting her head in the toilet" Adam says "I think we're both more reasonable than that...at least I am....oh my God and if she isn't....What if she locks me in a locker!" Harper says pulling Adam "or worse!" Harper says scared.
"Maybe there's a civilized way for you to put her in her place" Chase says "what way?" Harper lets go of Adam "I don't know...But a good way to make someone speechless is always a method I cheekily call it "throwing facts in people's faces"" Chase says with a slight smile "Wow "cheekily!?" Calm down boy!" Leo says "No, actually i liked that" Harper says "You Did!?" Chase ask surprised "yeah! i love throwing facts in people's faces...it really leaves them speechless" Harper says thoughtfully, Chase makes a surprised face to see that she doesn't hate the Idea, he smiles "I already know what to do!" Harper says "what?" Adam says "you'll see!" Harper says leaving "Oh I'm totally taking a bucket of popcorn to school tomorrow" Leo says looking at the door "Save some for me!" Adam says.
......................................................................
The other day everyone is at school "hey freaks where is your little friend?" Perry says "Principal Perry don't you think this bond between you two has gone too far?" Chase says "I'm just repaying her for the ways she treats me!" Perry says holding up a massive stack of books "you started this" Adam says "yeah honestly you treat all of us like that" Bree says "Yeah, you're just being worse with Harper because she's the only one of us crazy enough to throw it in your face" Leo says "look, she's already corrupting you too" Perry says.
"If you see her, give her this" Perry puts the huge pile of books in Chase's hand, the pile is so heavy it makes him fall "tell her to do all this work by tomorrow" Perry laughs, Adam helps Chase with the pile of books "I don't think so!" Harper walks in.
She walks in staring at Perry, she stops in front of her "Terry!" She says "Harper!" Perry says glaring at her "you know I'm not going to do all that homework...I don't need to" Harper says "oh you will and you're kicked out of the cafeteria too" Perry says.
Harper smiles "Why that smile?" Perry asks "you know...Terry, I was doing a really interesting reading these days" Harper says "what kind of reading" Perry asks "I know you think you own the place but you're ignoring something that's way above you or your rules" Harper says surrounding Perry.
"What are you talking about?" Perry asks "Well, In 1997, the year in which this school was founded, the school board created a very specific set of rules and norms, that in accordance with the oath that every official who is promoted to the office of principal of this school must adhere to the letter, otherwise it will be reported to the council and removed from office immediately" Harper says.
"Where did you see that?" Perry asks worriedly "You know that old book that sits on the school's awards shelf ?... so that's nothing less than the book of rules dictated by the school's founders...The same book you put your hand in to take the oath the day you became principal of the school, there's even a picture of you that day in your office...what a beautiful thing huh!" Harper smiles sarcastically
"What's she doing?" Bree asks "throwing facts in Perry's face" Chase says slightly proud.
"Uh...what are you getting at" Perry says "I read the entire book and I remember that exactly on page 25 article 9 says that all school employees must care for the physical and mental well-being of students, this includes stopping any type of bullying or unwanted treatment that causes the student discomfort " Harper says "uh..." Perry is speechless "she managed to make Perry speechless!" Leo says.
"that doesn't prove anything you could have made that up" Perry says, Harper smirk and take her backpack "don't believe me read the book yourself" Harper takes the book and gives it to Perry "it also says that every employee and student has a conscience that their feelings are good or bad should not in any way affect their relationships in the school environment" Harper says.
Perry starts leafing through the book "oh it's on page 12 article 15!" Harper says "Is that really written?" Bree says everyone looks at the book "here's article 15" Leo points.
"wow, you quoted every word exactly as it is written, how do you remember all that?" Chase says "I may not be bionic but I have a very useful ability called eidetic memory..." Harper says proudly "okay that's no big deal" Perry says, Harper walks over "well, that means Terry! that as of now I know this whole book and if you step out of range I will know" Harper says into Perry's ear.
"So what?" Perry says "I know how to contact the Mission Creek school board" Harper says "You wouldn't do that" Perry says glaring at her "wanna bet?" Harper smirk "attention! I take back what I said about talking and sitting with this girl...you better treat her very well from now on, you! cheerleaders if you giggle in her direction you'll see me in detention! Now go to class!" Perry says in the megaphone, Harper crosses her arms, Perry glares at her and leaves annoyed.
......................................................................
"wow you really managed to scare Principal Perry!" Adam doing a high five with Harper "I told you I could handle it in a reasonable way" Harper says "I just hope she doesn't read between the lines" Chase says "what between the lines?" Bree asks "The part that says these rules only apply in a school environment" Harper says, Chase agrees "Nah, she'll be so scared that you'll take her job away that she won't even dare to do it" Leo says.
"That was a smart move, did you actually read the entire book?" Chase asks, Harper looks at everyone "Of
course not Chase! What do you think I'm? a nerd!" Harper laughs nervously everyone laughs but Chase, who
looks at her suspiciously as if she's disguising herself, this isn't the first time he's noticed this, she always pretends not to know the things she knows, Bree and Leo leave.
"but what about the eidetic memory thing? Is it true?"Chase ask "yes...yes it is" Harper says "what is that?" Adam asks, Chase was going to explain but Harper interrupts "nothing important...it's just silly, Adam" Harper says and leaves.
......................................................................
The next day they're in the cafeteria like the other time, Harper is in line "She's not going to take anything off my plate?" Harper asks Perry "relax little princess she won't do anything" Perry says "not even throw dishes at me!?' Harper angrily says "no" Perry says "I think it's good!" Harper says "oh so I want you to pack all this for the trip" Harper says "you.. are very abused you know!" Perry says "what did you say?" Harper says turning around "you're really cute you know" Perry corrects, Harper smiles, and sits down at the table.
"So Perry, can I have an extra minute of break?" Leo asks "be quiet Dooley!" Perry says, Leo rolls his eyes "relax take your extra time and I'll take care of the rest" Harper winks at him "thanks" Leo says "so can we do anything?" Adam says "Aren't there student rules too?" Chase says "There are but do you really think Perry is going to read that whole book to find out?" Harper says, Perry is standing in the doorway staring at her, Harper looks at her and threatens to get up, Perry runs off, Harper laughs "yeah, she won't" Harper chuckles and sits back down.
