chapter 3

A few days have passed, still no clue where the robot could be.

They were currently in the living room when Isla put on the news. It was talking about a recent robbery close to them. When it suddenly changed to the Robot On Loose. Aron got up and shut the tv off.

Everyone jumped.

'Aron? Are you okay?' Victor asked suspiciously as he stared at the black screen on the TV.

'Why did you pause it?' Jade asked, crossing her arms as Isla nodded. Aron turned to them with a blank expression and left the room.

This made the 3 even more suspicious of Aron.

'you guys, I'm starting to think it might be him,' Victor said worriedly.

'You guys calm down' Isla chuckled.

'He's probably overwhelmed or stressed over the mission too' she added. Jade nodded, not knowing who's side to be on.

She hoped Isla was right,

After all, he was still their friend.

'Why don't we just research by ourselves about the mission and gather all the information' jade suggested. The 2 other scientists nodded and they all went into their rooms to start the research.

'It took hours to find a source that didn't lie about the Robot On Loose' Jade thought to herself and laughed.

'What's so funny?' A deep voice asked. It sounded like it was coming from Jade's bed. She turned around to face her bed when she saw Aron sitting on it. He was on his phone and looked up to meet eyes with jade.

'Oh it's nothing' jade said and looked at the time on the screen, it was 11 PM already,

'What are you still up' Jade asked Aron as she stretched.

'I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for the way I acted this morning,' Aron said as he played with his rings.

Jade suddenly had an idea.

'I'll forgive you but on one condition' she said and crossed her arms.

Aron looked at her and tilted his head

'Smile'' She said and looked at him.

Aron let out a fake laugh, his deep and low voice not changing a bit.

'Guess you're never going to forgive me' he said as Jade laughed.

'Okay I forgive you but go to bed it's almost 12' jade said looking at her watch.

'Same goes to you' aron said and stretched before he got off her bed and left the room.

Jade smiled to herself, she got changed and jumped into her bed as she smelt Aron's cologne. She smiled to herself and slowly drifted off

The next day Jade woke up and jumped when she saw Isla staring at her with a big smile.

'So are you guys dating now?' Isla asked.

'What-who-when-why?' Jade yawned as she rubbed her eyes.

'You and Aron. Don't tell me u guys weren't ~you know~' Isla said and jade laughed sarcastically

'Very funny Isla and what are you doing watching me?' Jade asked as she got up from her bed.

'I wasn't! I was up at night making a snack when I saw Aron leaving your room. So after I made my snack since that was my first priority' she said as Jade rolled her eyes

'I came to see you, and you were fast asleep and I SMELT HIS COLOGNE ON YOUR BED JADE. YOUR BED' Isla shrieks and shook Jade

'It is not what you think Isla. Now leave my room' jade said as she pushed Isla out of her room so she could get ready.

'I still have questions!' Isla said from the other side of the door

'Questions can wait!' Jade yelled and got ready for the day

She decided to wear jeans and a yellow sweatshirt.

She looked at herself and smiled. Yellow was her color.

She left the room and walked into the dining room where the others were.

'Finally she's out!' Victor cheered and laughed as Jade bowed and sat beside Isla.

'What are we going to do today?' Victor asked before he started sipping on his coffee

Aron shrugged

'I have an idea,' Isla said.

They all turned to her.

'What If we go out of town for a few days' she suggested

Jade and Victor laughed and suddenly stopped when they saw Aron nod.

'Wait what-' jade slowly stopped laughing

'Aron?' Victor asked.

'We should leave town for a bit, all this robot on loose news keeps stressing me out' Aron said and rolled up his sleeves.

Victor nodded as Jade and Isla just stared at him.

'I'm on Aaron's side, sorry guys' Isla said.

'I agree too' Jade laughed

'I disagree' Victor said and crossed his arms

'Come onnn Victor. You're so boring' Isla said and huffed.

'I'm sorry but this is a risk,' Victor said, holding his hands up.

'How is this a risk?' Jade asked as she crossed her arms and tilted her head

'You guys realized the MAYOR gave us this mission and he's counting on us. And also, what if the robot does something while we aren't here?' Victor said and got up from his chair and walked to the door

'I'm sorry but I can't risk this.' Victor said and left the room and walked to his room.

``We will make him agree,'' Isla said as she left and walked out of the dining room, before she left, she gave Jade a quick smirk and ran out.

Jade sighed as she slumped into her chair.

'Victor is probably gone stay here if we ever try to leave town' she said disappointed

'Don't worry jade' Aron said and got up from his seat.

He put his hand on her shoulder.

'I'll make you a deal. If we find the robot on loose then I'll smile for you' aron said and walked out of the room leaving jade speechless.

This made jade want to find the robot

Just to see him smile.

Was she crazy? Did she like him? She put her head in her hands as she thought of him
