I am not Afraid - Chapter 25
While on her way to best up those idiots who beat up Tom, Zero felt like she was being followed. She whipped around to see only a figure sat on a bench with their back turned to her. Shaking off the feeling Zero continued down the street. Half way down she whipped around to see the figure had gone. No one else was in the street. Her muscles tensed for a fight, her brain told her to run, but her instincts told her to stay. And Zero ALWAYS listened to her instincts. Licking her lips in anticipation Zero turned and took five heavy steps down the street. Then whipping around there was figure a foot behind her. Automatically Zero swiped her foot underneath the persons legs sending them crashing. She crouched into her fighting to pose before laughing.
On the floor was that boy called Rick, Dan's friend from his training class. Smiling slightly she put her hand down to pull him forcefully up. "That's a nice welcome." Rick mumbled shaking the dirt out of his hair.
"Maybe you shouldn't be sneaking up on me then!" Zero accused angrily.
"I wasn't I was merely testing your reactions." Rick reasoned giving a cheeky lop sided grin. Wow. Zero thought he had a nice smile. Keep your cool Z he is just a dude.
"God you really do spend time with my brother! Anyway what you doing stalking me." Zero snapped, but grinned at the same time.
"Ah well I thought I was allowed to walk down the street with out being attacked." Rick smirked.
"Yeah, but you were stalking not walking." Zero countered.
"Ah that is a whole matter of perspective. Anyway have you done McNab's homework yet, or is it just me who is waiting till two o'clock in the morning on the day before we go back to school?" Rick asked.
"Err I have had a lot on, but I will probably wait till nine o'clock Monday morning just to annoy my uncle." Zero chuckled.
"Hmm I hadn't thought of doing that." Rick smiled thoughtfully "hey wanna go for a McDonalds on me of course."
"I guess, I mean I couldn't pass up an offer for free food now could I?" Zero joked bumping into his shoulder as they walked.
"Cool, that's one thing no one can resist in my mind." Rick chuckled pushing Zero back.
"You now I think your the only person I have had I conversation since people found about my life who hasn't acted like I am fragile and need protecting." Zero whispered looking at her boots. Rick thought for a second before replying.
"That's cause I know that although you do need help and some protecting, you also need to have things for normal for once. You need time to get your head in check, but it doesn't help when people are giving you special treatment. So I am gonna treat you normally." Rick concluded. They were now stood still by the entrance to McDonalds.
"Thank you." Zero whispered her voice unusually soft. They gazed into each other's eyes searching. Neither of them noticed the party of eight spies weighed down by shopping bags, as the their lips delicately met.
Oscar jaw hung open as he watched teens. It was quickly closed by Carrie. Were is eyes deceiving him or was Zero, the girl who had locked up her heart, kissing some guy. He turned to face Stark who's entire face had turned red with rage as his eyes practically popped out of his sockets. Glancing other to Stella, Oscar realised with a start she was smiling slightly. When he turned back Zero had her head on the boys chest their arms wrapped around each other. They were whispering to each other. This distinctively reminded Oscar of his first kiss with Carrie. He beckoned for the others to turn around and leave. Although Stark took some silent persuading.
Fireworks went off inside of Zero's mind. For a second felt remembered her promise to never put her heart on the line, but she let the thought go.
Once Frank, Zoe, Aneisha, Carrie, Rose, Stella, Oscar and Stark had returned to HQ they dumped their shopping bags on the floor while watching in amusement as Stark ranted and raged on about Zero. Finally after having heard enough they picked up the shopping bags and boxes setting to work on the rooms. They split themselves to different rooms. Carrie took the lounge, Stella the bathroom, Zoe her room, Oscar did Dan's, Aneisha and Rose did Zero's and Stark and Frank did the kitchen. Four hours and six cups of tea later they had finished.
"What happened to you." Carrie laughed looking the green paint smudged on Oscar's face.
"It's called painting a room! Have you even seen Zoe you would think she is a Simpson at this rate, she is covered in yellow paint." Oscar laughed.
"No I am not, I didn't get it in my hair or on my legs." Zoe said seriously.
"Zoe I think Oscar was joking." Aneisha said trying to smother a giggle while taking a photo unknown to the red head.
Zero's room had all dark furniture in, her walls were all navy except for one which had a large white Z on. Zoe had gone for a range of colours for her room: pink for the bed, yellow for the walls, purple for the pillows and desk chair and a light turquoise for everything else. However Dan's room was completely green everywhere with as many pictures as Oscar could find of Dan and the team or Dan and Zoe all around the walls, on every surface some small ones blue tacked to the cupboard.
Daisy smiled as Blane turned up his favourite song on the car radio. Good Old Days by Script. ( if you Don't know the song then go onto YouTube and find it now!) He was tapping the steering wheel and humming it as he pulled of the motorway. As the song finished Blane pulled onto the drive. But before Daisy could leave Blane pulled her around and kissed her hard. At first Daisy gasped, but soon let herself get lost in Blane's arm till there was a tap on the window. Both of them spun around to see Daisy's dad stood their with his arms crossed. Dam. Blane thought. Let one week of hell begin.
Reluctantly Blane climbed out of the car putting on his best fake smile. "Hi Mr Millar, Mrs Millar and Abby (Daisy's sister) your early." Blane said trying his best not to snap. Mr Millar continued to frown, Abby didn't even glance up from her phone and Mrs Millar just smiled nervously.
"Yes we can see that Blane. We are all fine thanks. Why don't you let us in Blane so we can catch up on what you and my daughter have been up to." Mr Millar sneered, he said Blane like he had been slapped with a wet fish. Grabbing the Millar's bag Blane counted to ten silently under his breath while unlocking the door so that he didn't punch this guy in the face. He just has to survive on week of this. One week. He just had to do it for Daisy. For Daisy
