I saw Oliver clenching his jaw. “Come on, pass me the ball.”
“Why would I?” I asked innocently. I clenched my hand, fighting the urge to punch that face of his...If only...
Tension filled us as I raised my eyebrows at Oliver who got quiet.
“What is happening here?” It was Bryson who broke the tension around us, clueless as to what is happening.
I looked at Bryson in the eye and said, “Why don’t you ask Oliver. I think you need to replace him, you know since he threw the ball to me saying his eyes were broken.”
“Something is different...you are now fighting me back…” Oliver spoke up.
We talked for a bit as she asked me how I was doing then I remembered dad. “Now that you found out that you are pregnant, does that mean you will talk to dad?”“Oh, about your dad, we will talk it out soon. I am not angry at him anymore. But do not tell this to him, that I called you and announced I was pregnant. I want to surprise him on my own.” she said.“Okay okay, mom,” I said. “Mom, be careful. You know enemies are still hiding…” I warned her.“Yes, sweetheart. Do not worry about me. Just focus on yourself. I really am sorry for dragging you into this mess. You are sounding like your dad day by day. I just miss your brother…”The air around us suddenly gleaned and I broke it. “We do not need to cry now, mom.”She chuckled, “I think it is my pregnancy talking. Anyways, I think you are busy and I have to go now. I will ask you Uncle Cad
“Coach Brian, I think you have to rethink your decision….me with Bryson? Nah.” I said. That made Bryson glare at me.“Wow, you have the guts. I should be the one complaining here, Coach, please switch us, anything but not this group.” Bryson gave a side glance at us and rolled his eyes. I gasped, Wow, what a sassy boy!“Chill Zen,” James said beside me, grabbing my shoulder to prevent me from attaching them. Good thing James was there because I swear it would not take a minute for me to jump there and rip out their hairs. Chill, Zinnia. You are still Zen, not a war freak.“Silence everyone.” Coach Brian spoke up. “Stop fighting, whatever feud you have, hide it. We are in a soccer camp, remember that you will be fighting with the other sch
I noticed that this guy has a big nose..now I remembered what Parker said the other day, about a particular guy with a big nose who injured Zen last match. It was our team’s ticket to the finals but this guy just injured my brother last year.Tsk, I remember my brother going home with a sprain at that time.Even my other enemy, Oliver, came to us to see what the fuss is about. He saw the guy and his mood changed.James nudged me to reply. I raised my eyebrow “What” then gave a side-eye roll to the guy. I could feel my blood boiling. Now that I know this guy, I will never let him get away.“Oh, my feet are good, thank you for worrying about it, big nose.”“Oh, n
He laughed at me, hitting me lightly. “I swear I am not, dude. Anyways, I have to go pee.” He said, and stood up, leaving the tent. Andrew woke up and also Bryson. We then got up and stretched our bodies outside. I gargled water, from my morning breath...and also drank some water. We were ordered to gather and were tasked to have our morning workout. Each school had its own thing going and Coach Brian wanted to compete and ordered us to run our usual laps. Thank Goodness I have this strong body of mine...I would have collapsed. We ate our morning breakfast and had our showers in the bathroom stalls and sharing and it was open...I just knew that we were five schools in total...We were only limited to have showers for five minutes.
When the winner was announced, it was Noah and Parker’s team who won...meaning they will get exempted from all the work. They said that the key there was cooperation and teamwork. I sighed, what a game. I glared at Oliver and Bryson. These stupid guys...After that, all of us formed a big circle and the coaches decided for us to have a little forum. We only have one day left so we have to make the most out of it.But not in my case. I am tired of this. I really am desperate to go home. Godness.Now that I remember it, I notice that the guy with a big nose was not there….I wonder where he went…..When we went to sleep, James was shy to sleep next to me since I made fun of him...but after a minute of hesitation, he finally got too tired that
I nodded. As we packed our things, I noticed a strange noise-a noise I had been very familiar with back from the agency.“Did you hear that?” I asked James.He raised his eyebrows at me, “What?”“The ringing sound,” I answered. He shrugged, “It is probably lack of sleep, Zen. You are getting delusional.”‘But the noise kept on ringing in my ears, as my heart thumped in panic.I looked around, searching for that thing when my hand grabbed something….A briefcase.It was placed right beside my bag. James and the others might not have heard it maybe because it
Agent Wave’s POV I should have seen this coming. I was a top agent. But why did I not take precautions? I did a lot, but it was still not enough. Enemies still managed to harm my daughter. They have to pay for the price. “How many days will she recover?” I asked the doctor. I transferred Zinnia to the Cypher Agency’s hospital ward where we are more than advanced with our technical equipment. I prayed in silence. Please let her wake up. “I am surprised she even managed to get out there alive, Agent Wave.” said my subordinate, the best doctor we have here. “Her outer appearance is damaged, and she is not recognizable. You know I am doing my best, but I c
“You ask too many questions, sister.” Standing up, he leaned on me. “Wanna know a secret?” “A secret?” I breathed out. “I can free you from our parent's expectations.” He said. “Stop copying me. You are only hurting yourself. Soon, they will notice that you are not me.” “If I were you, I would just give up and join me. I just came to visit you just to say that. This is one last chance, Zinnia.” I looked at him in confusion. What? “What are you talking about Zen?” “Wanna go escape with me? Decide quickly, Zinnia.” I think I now have a bit of an idea of what he wants me to do. Stupid brother. What the hell are you planning?
