Swwweeetttt mate, second chapter is up :) plz read and review, hope you enjoy!
" Hide," she says urgently, before sprinting over to Vin and Newton. The car is heading their way now, but they both seem to be frozen in shock. She slams into them, pushing them out of the way just before the car runs them over.
" Hide!" She shouts again, so loudly I can hear her from the other end of the playground. " Trix, Newt, Vin, you have to hide!"
As the car lines up for another charge, Vin and Newton scamper towards me.
" Headquarters!" I yell over the mass of screaming students. They nod, and together we run into the dorm building.
Zero's P.O.V
I knew something like this was going to happen. Stupid Mr Sopper. The car revs its engine, and barrels straight towards me. Even though my heart is beating like crazy, I stand firm. When the car is literally a centimetre in front of me, I jump, landing on the bonnet. I can see the driver from this position, leering at me. The sight of his face shoots a shard of ice straight through my heart. I fight down the rising panic, and smash my fist straight through the windscreen. His expression of enjoyment turns to one of shock, and I almost smile. He wasn't expecting that.
" Get lost," I hiss through the hole in the windscreen. " This is my school, you can't be here."
" Exactly," he says in a drunken slur. " That's why I wanna smash all these little kiddies."
" You can't," I say desperately.
He give a creepy, high pitched laugh and starts revving up the engine. He powers towards Fred, Van, Hector and Burt, who are huddling together, terrified.
" Get out of the way!" I scream at them. They all run in different directions, except Burt, who is frozen with fear. His eyes are practically rolling, and a dribble of spit is making its way down his chin. I curse.
" Zadi, unless you want me to run over that fat kid, you gotta do what I tell ya to."
" what do you want me to do?" I say immediately.
" Come home," he says in a deadly whisper. " No more living on the streets, you have to come home."
" W-why?" I stammer.
He sneers, " I need someone to clean the house and make me food. You're useless for anything but that."
I'm not sure why, but it hurts when he says that. I nod mutely, and jump off the car.
" Fine," I mutter, " Leave everyone alone."
" See you soon Zadi!" He roars, before taking off. As soon as he's gone I collapse onto all fours, shaking all over. I squeeze my eyes shut and try to make everything go away...it doesn't work. A single tear manages to escape my eye.
Newton's P.O.V
" guys, I don't like this. Zero is out there all by herself! What if this is a Macbeth scheme."
Vin gives a strained smile. " Look Newt, we have to trust Zero. She told us to hide, so thats what we're gonna do."
" But- but," I wail.
Trixie lays a reassuring hand on my shoulder. " Newton, everything's going to be fine. We all just need to-"
Suddenly we hear a shout, then a thump from the corridor, followed by a series of softer thumps. I jump up immediately, and poke my head out of the door. Zero is standing just next to the entrance of HQ, punching the wall. Her eyes are screwed shut, but that doesn't stop the relentless flow of tears cascading down her cheeks.
I look at her, and she looks at me. Her eyes are filled with a kind of raw pain that I've never seen before.
" Ze-" I start, but she turns on her heel and sprints down the corridor towards her room, her boots making muffled pounding noises in the carpet. I sigh and hang my head. That's when I notice the strand of white hair just inches from my foot. Getting an idea, I carefully pick up the hair and go back inside.
Trixie's P.O.V
" No," I say firmly, shaking my head. " No way."
" come on Trix," Newton whines, shoving a finger up his nose. " if we use the hair to get a DNA sample, we can find out who Zero's father is!"
Vin scratches his head. " I'll admit I'm curious about Zero's dad. She's always so touchy whenever I ask about him, but I dunno Newt... prying into her personal life is a bit..."
" Hey Vin," says Newton slyly. " Don't you want to know where Zero lives? You could deliver her some flowers over the holidays..."
" Great idea!" Says Vin enthusiastically. " Let's do it!"
" But this is prying into Zero's personal secrets!" I cry. " Don't you think there might be a reason she doesn't want us to know about her father?"
Both boys completely ignore me. They are too busy feeding the strand if hair into Newtons
D.N.A -O'matic. I sigh and lean back.
" Bleach," Newton whispers after a few minutes.
" Huh?"
" Zero's hair is white because someone put bleach in it... do you think she did that?"
" Newton, she's not that stupid," I sigh.
"'Yeah yeah whatever," says Vin impatiently. " So where does she live?"
Newton shrugs. " Sorry Vin, the bleach cancels out all possible information."
" Damn it!" Vin screams.
I put my head in my hands. " Boys, instead of stalking Zero, maybe we should go see her in her room."
" Stalking is more fun-"
I grab Newton by the ear and pull him out of the room.
