Radioactive

chapter 4

   BAM!

  Laken slams his hand onto the wall next to me. Putting his face right in front of mine (which must be annoying because he's 5'9 and I'm 5'6 barely) I could feel his breath on my lips. His vibrant ice blue eyes almost glowed as I could almost see my brown eyes in his. His shoulder length ice white hair falling in his eyes casting a shadow over them.

  Swallowing the lump in my throat I look him right in the eye as I try (badly) to hide my trembling. "Now tell me Plutonium. What are you doing here." He demanded more than a question.

"My name is not Plutonium." 

"Speak up! I can't hear you!"  Rick yelled from my right.

"I SAID MY NAME NOT PLUTONIUM! IT'S PLUTO!" I yelled, leaving everyone stund. Even Lily seemed shocked.

Catching my breath I look Laken right in the eye. Walking over to him I grab him by the collar of his white shit and pull him down to my eye level. Feeling my hat tap his forehead. The button of his shirt dug into my palm. Then I calmly say "My name is Pluto. And I suggest you get it right boss." Hissing out at the boss.

Letting go of his shit I could see him smiling. Straightening out his shirt I could hear him laughing. Throwing his head back as he clenches his stomach as he lets out a hearty laugh. After he's done he wiped the tears away. And looks at me with a smirk.

  "I never thought I would see the day. Plutonium Sagara or should I say Pluto ..?" He stops wondering if to use my dad's last name.

"Ehren. Pluto Ehren."

"Pluto Ehren. Uh, your mother's maiden name?"  Lily said, chipping in.

"Well what else was I supposed to use? Sagara. It's like asking for death."

"True. True. No one likes the Sagara family. No offense." Laken muttured.

"None taken."

"Can someone explain what's happening or are you going to continue to flirt?" Pat Way, Rick's younger brother asked.

"Right fella's. Sorry about that. Anyhow no one's allowed to touch Pluto. He's one of us." Laken said jesting for me to sit next to him on his side of the pod.

"What do you mean one of us!? She's a Sagara. It doesn't matter if she changed her name or not. And besides, are you just okay with letting her roam?! What is she even doing here? You never explained that! We'd like answers please!" Mark Shark yelled in her high and squeaky voice that was obviously strained.

  Sitting next to Laken I look around me to see all eyes on me or Laken. Even Lily’s grup is quiet. "You know it's rude  to talk about someone like that, Mark. Especially when that person has helped you. All of you. Some of you are in the same boat as Pluto. All of us have been helped by Pluto one way or another. So be nice and if I hear a single thing bad well let just say you'd wish they took away my dice." Laken said.

  As all of them quieted down at the lecture. Some even put there head down.
"Pluto."
"Yes?"
"Do you need help?" Laken asked. Tilting my head in confusion, Laken points to his hair. Understanding, I nod my head.

  Taking off my hat I let my brown straight waist length hair fall. Turning away from Laken as I could hear a snap of a pocket knife. As the knife came closer to my neck I could see I shine as it was hit from the light of a star outside. Feeling the cool blade touch my neck the first strand of my hair falls. Playing with my goggles on my hat I wait for him to be finished as everyone around us doesn't say a word in awkward silence.
