I brushed my hand over my face while he spoke and I bit my finger at the prospect of Oogie finding her way here. I heard a thump on the door. I brushed my forehead and Dexter exhaled. "You will be assisting me with the car tomorrow and mind you, you better be handing in the right tools else I'd be very disappointed. Understand? Are we clear?""Yes." I said with a squeaky voice and I had to clear up the table and pick up Lois's storybooks and toys. Beck stuck out his tongue at me. "You look like shit." He said and I heaved a sigh, and Seymour cried clawing at my foot. "Ow." I replaced her toys and tucked her in. Then I headed to the bathroom and soaked in warm water. I stretched my knee and groaned at the pain. I fumed at the thump on the door. "Zack...hurry up!" I tossed and turned in my bed. Seymour was taking half of the bed. Then covered my head with my pillow away from the blaring lights and the noise. I couldn't fall asleep because of the scraping noises I heard. The flashe

My suit blinked and the gate rolled open, I ran in and my spine gave out. The suit was heavy. I spotted two robots coming after me. I threw a punch and my wrist gave out. One swiped a leg under me and I fell over. Huffing and puffing. It stumped on my sternum. I gazed at the handful in horror coming at me. My muscles were aching and I was astounded to find out that I couldn't gain much air in the suit. I glanced at the exit beyond me. A red light blinked above it. I was weighed down by their punches. I crashed into a podium and gazed through my swollen eye at the door. I gazed up at the notches. I punched a robot and grabbed it by its arm. The others came at me."You are under arrest for aiding and abetting a wanted criminal." I pulled up its arm and shot lasers at the others. It struggled spinning and lasers flew everywhere. The robots fell over. I ran and it felt like my suit was filling with sand. I took a leap on a robot's head and leapt to the notch on the wall. The robot I used s

My eyes strained on him. "If this is about Lois, I'm sorry. I know this is hard for you and I could be contributing_""I'm still very angry, she cries to sleep because of you. Even I can't talk it through to her." He wiped his nose. It was a tough call sitting here and talking about our feelings. I wanted to shrink into the room.He held up the picture. I gulped when I looked in and gaped at a snapshot of Dad as a younger version of himself by the Department of Physical Sciences, the background was blurry except for the sign, his brown hair was spiky, he was of average height, he was of average height holding on to his backpack around his chest. He wore a stubbed bracelet. The ones rockers wear. His friend was bigger in glasses and black clothes, they were having a conversation. There was a faint glow behind them. It was sunny. A lady with lustrous blonde hair, in a jean jacket and leggings, was posed in mid-walk, she was going past them and she was looking right at my dad and Manny, h

Morty pulled me away from the car. It barely grazed me. I shook my head."What's up?" Brock Ethan looked bigger than I was. Blond hair, Eagle blue eyes, perfect jawline, skin, and everything. He wore a red baseball t-shirt."Are you okay?" Brock said and I scoffed. "Yes, it's just a scratch.""You need to be more careful next time. What are you thinking?" Mort was about to go into socialite mode, Brock grinned keying into his conversation. His eyes were questioning. He had a slight southern drawl. I did not want to stay with Amir or else he would take his temper out on me. He sighed waiting I didn't want to be around Kendra because I wanted to give her some space plus I was still hurting."We have class today." She tapped my shoulder. "Yeah, we do?" I shuddered with need. I refused to look her right in the eyes. "At noon. Thank you. I'll see you there. I suck at applied math_ish.""Wait..." I drew in my breath. "Listen.""Zack, we've talked about this, I don't share any feelings fo

[ Daily mission. Take a lap ]I grabbed it and left. I jogged with the group and huffed as it got heavier, it felt like I strapped large truck tyres to my waist. "Move it boys, I know you weren't doing your lunges when you were home with mommy and daddy. We are just getting warmed up. Move it!" He pushed me. "This is just like camp!" I heard her say. "I'm gonna need some electrolytes." Amir huffed. I was blinded by the effort I was putting in. It was thirty minutes in and we were still running. One minute to it and I rolled over. The others hurried past me, the earth was shaking. It was still not over."I need some water." I pulled up and the coach yelled at me. "You still have a long way to go, Squirt! Your reaction time is terrible! Get up!" I relaxed on a pole at gazed at Coach Henderson. He took a swipe at my back and I rushed to the finish line. "Oh my kidneys." I could feel a horrid sensation in my stomach like there were stones bouncing in there. Mort did a high five wi
