Silence fell and I broke it, “I had accepted my fate long ago ever since I was born into this world. I will be a fine dad...I will be…” I repeated. It was not an assurance for my dad this time. It was for myself…
Uncle Rush then explained the situation clearly, not missing any points. “Do you have some questions?”
“No. I know Zen.”
“Yes, that is why there’s no other person suited to go undercover as your brother more than you. I trust you, Zinnia. You are always an excellent daughter. I love you.”
“I love you too dad.”
With that, dad dismissed me and told Uncle Rush to handle my needs.
“You
Noah scoffed beside me. “Dude, today's Tuesday already, stop talking about it.” “That was lit right?” Parker said. “I was able to get laid.” Talk about boy’s conversations. They went on and on talking about girls. How they got their own girls and how they got laid. Eww. I fight the urge to puke. Tsk, boys... Is this just the soccer boy’s club thing? Or does it apply to all male species? I know my brother is a pervert sometimes but he’s not worse like this. Why did he even befriend these guys? I swear if I saw my brother again I’m gonna smack his head to wake himself up. Anyways, I have to get it together. I am on an Undercover mission. Starting today, I am Zen and nothing else. Act Normal. I need to act
“You did a good job on your first day.” Uncle Rouge commented, patting me on the shoulders.“Is it okay if someone sees you? I said, looking around to check and saw there was no other person.“I locked this room. Don’t worry, this is abandoned. No one goes here.” He reassured me.“Where’s Uncle Rush?” I asked.“He had to take care of something.”I nodded.“Anyways, I only wanted to tell you about this...you have to be careful of that boy James. You’re Uncle Rush is fetching his personal information. Don’t be rash.”I
We ordered and got the food soon after, with them flirting with the ladies but the ladies did not pay attention to them but instead, goNo, ladies, you should have gone to them. I am not a real man! Gosh, why is my brother so popular with girls? Did he not get tired of dealing with this every day? Who knew that being hot and awesome could be so tiring. So that is why he is always rude...now I understand his mood swings.“Awe c’mon man, you always get the girls. When will we have our own!”“Remember what Coach Brian always reminded us guys, do not get distracted. Girls are just distractions.” James spoke up. It was the first time I heard James talking for this day, and I was shocked.“Why don’t you talk often dude? I asked J
I felt the cold water splashing on me and I wanted to accept death...when I heard screaming. “Zinnia!” Zinnia wake up!”I opened my eyes and drew a deep breath. I just woke up with a start.Beside me was Uncle Rouge, watching me. “Wake up! You are dreaming.”“You were yelling Zen’s name for the past five minutes that I have to wake you up.” He said.“Oh, sorry about that.” was all I could say as I stood up to get ready for the day. I can not help but think about my dream. It all felt too real that I did not realize it was really a dream.I took a shower, wore my undercover clothing, and ate breakfast. This new routine is kind of weird, b
After she left, there were not so many students who came in and asked for meds. Some were with diarrhea, and some were in pain. I am hoping none would come at me with a sprain or dislocated foot cause I do not want to handle that right now. Mostly, it was those athlete boys who always get sprains.“Ms. Peterson I need some-“It was Bryson. His sentence was cut off the moment he realized I was there. I looked at him blankly, why is he here? Ugh. I do not want to handle him right now. The last time we spoke with each other, we almost got into a fight. Not here, not right now.“What?” I asked coldly. I looked at him up and down, why would this dude come in here with a perfectly fine-I have to stop myself from laughing at him. There
I nodded, like an obedient daughter. This has happened before. The moment that mom avoids dad by not answering his calls means that there is something up. I have to ask mom about that. I feel like I am really vital in this family. Without me, maybe mom and dad have broken up long ago. I am the root of this family, the one gluing them both. “Take a rest dad, you are now aging. And shave your beard, you look a bit homeless.” I said, making the air lighter. We have to make jokes sometimes after all. Chuckling at what I said, he answered me. “We can not defy time, after all, of course, I will age, Zinnia.” We talked for a bit until he had to go to a meeting. We said our goodbyes and the call ended. Dialing mom’s number in the system, it only rang for a minute. I tried again but she is still not ans
“You have a point. Anyways, I want to know more of mom and dad’s story.” I said, changing the topic. The house is quiet anyway so I have to be the one to brighten it up.Uncle Rouge snorted. “I am sure you have heard these things a lot of times now. Anyways, once upon a time, where your mom does not know the whole truth...He lived with Theodore Callan, your grandpa's best friend. Theodore was killed, and your dad, Agent Wave, was a top Agent sent to save your mother. Then, your mother, Hira Callan, lived in the Cypher Agency that she wanted to be an agent so she trained and trained with Agent Wave by his side. It did not take that long for them to be partners in crime. "Back then, your mom’s only goal was to kill the K-9 assassin group, which is the group I belong to. I entered that organization because my dad Garrett, or yo
Chuckling at what I said, he answered me. “We can not defy time, after all, of course, I will age, Zinnia.”We talked for a bit until he had to go to a meeting. We said our goodbyes and the call ended.Dialing mom’s number in the system, it only rang for a minute. I tried again but she is still not answering me.Uncle rouge appeared and I asked for his help. “Where is mom? Why is she not answering my calls?”Uncle Rouge avoided looking at me, like a guilty dog. “She may be busy shopping I guess. You know her.”Hmmm...something is fishy. What really is happening with my family nowadays?After that, I washed the dishes, wen
