I'm done.

I start dancing around the room- I'm done I'm done

"I'M-" I slip and fall face-first into the carpet, I pump my fist in the air,"done."

After a successful test of the boots on Samuel- my testing robot, he's built with various sensors -temperature, touch, proximity, vibrations etc. which mirrors that of a human's, the sensors are all connected  inside the chest area which stores the data collected until he's re-plugged into the monitor, which allows me to view the slightest damages. After a few trials and errors I was able to prefect the boots. I even made them thump-proof, to guarantee a cat-like landing, and added a few things-

Wait, with that aside, I need to call Xander before it's late.

He picks up after three rings.

"Hello?"

"Hey. It's Elodie."

"Oh, hey."

"So erm- is five in the morning okay with you guys?"

"Yeah, it's-"

'Hey is that Elodie?' I instantly recognize Spencer's voice.

"Yes." Xander tells him.

'Gimmie."

"No. Spencer, stop-"

"HEEEYYYY." I move the phone away from my ear,

"Elodie, you there?"

"No," I blurt, "this is Patrick."

"Oh, I would like one crabby patty, with extra crabby-"

'What the hell is he talking about?' Axel's voice questions in the background.

"Shut up I'm ordering crabby patties."

'You can't get extra crabby idiot.'

"Well then I'll get extra patties-"

'YOU LITTLE-'

"CATCH ME IF YOU CAN HAHAHHUHHU-"
For a while there is rush of air, then I hear a Yelp, and a smack, "ouch." Spencer squeaks.

''Loser.' I hear Axel's voice then, "hi."

I sigh, "hey Axel."

'Axel give me that phone.' -Xander

"But I just started talking to he-"

"I'm back!" Spencer again. The shouting of Axel in the background.

"Hey why does Xander get to have your number and I don't! Wait no we have your number now thanks to Xander, get a pen and paper-" soon he starts blurting out numbers while running- there are sounds of things crashing- Lance is probably too busy thinking about something-

'Lance get your ass off that couch.'

"Okay-" I got them, I repeat the numbers to him. "Yup," he says then, "well we'll see you later! Bye!"

He hangs up.

I stare at my phone.

So they break things everywhere they go?
I'm kind of reconsidering having Spencer and Axel under the same roof.....

Is this chapter disappointingly short?

You know when you're so bored that you start talking to yourself on the phone, like right now, yeah, it sucks.
