Hola muchachas! I've returned from the land of Writer's Block and the Valley of Schoolwork! Anyways I'm sorry for not updating this in a really long time, but you know I've been busy busy busy busy! Thanks for all of your reviews and comments and I hope you guys like this new chapter.
Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with Lab Rats except for my OC's and this story.
Without looking at anyone, I sat down at my seat in the back of the room from earlier this morning next to Gabby, but honestly, I don't think I can face anyone after what just happened. I mean, yeah it was pretty awesome, but I need better control over myself and quickly or else I'm going to be expelled. What would mom and dad think of me if they knew what I've been getting myself into? They wouldn't be very proud, well, okay maybe they'd be proud of me for sticking up for my family and for telling Principal Perry off, but that's it. I didn't even notice Gabby as she sat down next to me and tried to talk to me, but eventually she managed to pull me out of my stupor.
"When do you want to practice the song together with your siblings?" Gabby asked exasperatedly. I face palmed.
"I don't know. Give me your number and I'll let you know through text or something. Right now, I feel…exhausted both physically and mentally," I replied and she nodded her head in sympathy.
"Considering it's your first day of High School, I feel for you, but you were totally awesome telling Principal Perry the Blond Menace off. Nobody has been able to pull that off and escape without some form of detention," Gabby reassured me cheerfully and I smiled shyly.
"Thanks, but someone had to or else no one would've done it," I responded with a tired sigh and Gabby sent me a sympathetic smile.
"Maybe you should rest a bit once you get home," Gabby suggested and I nodded in agreement with her with a soft sigh of relief as the school bell rang. I grabbed my purple bag and walked out of the classroom while I heard everyone trying to be discreet as they whispered about me clearing a path for me. Being tough has its advantages you know.
"Zoe, are you okay?" Jane asked worriedly as she walked out of the building with me towards Tasha's car. I released a heavy sigh and she pulled me into a one sided hug trying to comfort me from my long day of school. However, I remained silent as we walked up to Tasha's car along with everyone else who appeared out of nowhere or I just didn't notice when they started following us. I could honestly care less.
"Hey, guys!" Tasha exclaimed extra cheerful and I mentally cringed. "How was school? Did you make any friends, Zoe?" Tasha bombarded me with questions and I just hopped into the backseat leaning against the window letting my eyes close for just a few moments….
"Zoe…wake up…we're home." Leo whispered gently in my ear and I groaned in annoyance as I ignored him. Just one more hour…please? Leo grabbed my arm as he dragged me out of the car, but stopped as he got out and attempted to pull onto me feet, which might I add was extremely uncomfortable.
"Ewe! Are you drooling? That's just gross!" Leo exclaimed in disgust. "Here, Chase, you take her to her room!" Then, I felt a pair of arms catch me clumsily and trying to adjust me in their grip and I would've gotten up to protest, but I'm too tire, well, not really. I groaned in annoyance.
"You guys are so loud!" I shouted in annoyance and Chase nearly dropped me on the floor.
"You were awake this whole time?" Leo demanded in disbelief and I nodded with a look that almost literally said 'duh'.
"Half awake, Leo. Could you put take me to my room? I don't feel like walking, that and I think legs fell asleep." I stated poking my legs, but they remained numb.
"Sure, I guess," Chase stated unsurely with a light blush as I get my arms around his neck.
"Oh, and Leo?" I called and he turned around with an annoyed look, "could you bring my backpack, too?" I asked and Leo made an angry face. Nevertheless, he picked up my bag and followed us to my bedroom where I need to gather my stuff. Gently, Chase placed me on my bed and my cheek accidently brushed his cheek causing us both to blush a little.
"Thanks, Chase and Leo, I'll see you guys in a bit," I said and as Chase started to leave, Leo stopped him.
"Wait; do you need Chase to carry you down again?" Leo asked innocently, but I knew there was more meaning to those words.
"Actually, my legs weren't really asleep; I was just too lazy to walk up the stairs." I complained and Leo just rolled his eyes unconvinced.
"Or you just wanted Chase to carry you up the stairs." Leo retorted and I raised an eyebrow up at him.
"Duh, that's why I asked him, Dooley." I retorted and I shoot a blue ball of light at him on his way out of my room. Quickly, I started my homework and finished it in about 30 minutes, when someone knocked on my door and I opened it to find Bree waiting for me.
"Davenport wants us to meet in the lab for some announcements and training," Bree told me cautiously and I let out an annoyed sigh.
"Look, Bree, you don't have to act all nervous around me. I only explode the way I did at school when I feel threatened or someone's threatening my family," I reassured her with gentle smile and she visibly relaxed.
"Okay, I trust you," Bree told me happily and I followed her down the stairs to the elevator, which took us down to the high tech lab with shiny stuff that I'm not even going to begin memorizing all of their names. Everyone except Tasha was down their waiting for us, but I didn't care that much.
"Okay, what happened at school today?" Donald demanded furiously. I rolled my eyes at him with my arms folded across my chest leaning up against the wall beginning to tune him out. "Your powers could've destroyed the whole school or you could've killed someone! What were you thinking?" Donald shouted hysterically and I glared at him with narrowed eyes.
"You think I don't know that?" I demanded in a deadly calm voice with my eyes practically glowing in anger. Everyone froze at the calmness in my voice. "I was hit on by guys who hit on my sister and shoved my twin, then I pelted with dodge balls, I was yelled at by Perry and I told an obnoxious blonde and Perry off for insulting not only my, but also your family. So tell me Donald," I stated calmly, but then my anger boiled to the max, "WAS IT WRONG OF ME TO DEFEND MY AND YOUR FAMILY?" I screamed and an earthquake shook the house a little bit.
"Zoe…please calm down you're scaring me." Angie whimpered and I quickly calmed down pulling my little sister into a small hug.
"Is it too much, Donald? Hum?" I asked expectantly and he just stared at me with fear in his eyes. "I know that I'm capable of doing good things, but I'm well aware of the damage I can do with them, too," I whispered looking down at Angie's eyes full of love and I felt like I could drown in them.
"How well aware are you, Zoe? Do you think your parents would be happy with this? What kind of example are you setting for Angie?" Donald asked and I couldn't hold one tear back.
"Enough to be plagued by nightmares every single night," I whispered quietly and the room went silent.
