The Wrong Stuff

TODAY, Freya was helping Zack fill in for Connie in chaperoning the elderly passengers. When Zack asked Freya if she'd help him out, she said yes immediately. Freya used to help around her grandma's retirement home and knew what she was doing.

"All right, seniors! Ready to party?" Zack sang as he and Freya entered the room where the sleeping seniors awaited them. "Oh my gosh. They're all dead." He began panicking and Freya tried to instruct him to calm down as he gasped.

"Nooo!" Ms. Pepperman dragged out with furrowed eyebrows. "We're just waiting for Connie."

"We're filling in for Connie." Freya smiled at the lady.

"Oh her boyfriend dump her again?" Ms. Pepperman asked.

"Um...yeah." Zack trailed off.

"Good. He was a loser." Pepperman nodded her head confidently.

"Right." Freya pointed.

"Alright everybody, so we're in charge of your fun-tertainment." Zack grinned.

"Well cut the chatter and lets jazzercise!" Ms. Pepperman exclaimed with the shake of her shoulders.

"Let's not and say we did." Mr. Barker practically groaned in protest. "They bust a move, they'll bust a hip."

"Sorry, that's not until 2:30!" Zack giggled at the grumpy man.

Zack and Freya took the group of seniors to the sky deck for their game of shuffle board.

It was Mrs. Pepperman's turn, and she was taking her time getting ready to make the shot.

"Any time now, Mrs. Pepperman." Zack grumbled.

"Don't rush me." She protested back.

"Okay, okay. Just remember, we dock in the Bahamas im three days!" He sassed. Freya shook her head at the boy, trying to tell him to shut up. Mrs. Pepperman finally hit the puck which knocked Zack's foot out from under him. Freya's eyes widened as she held back her laughter, trying to quickly help him up.

"Did I win?" The old lady grinned as the crowd clapped for her.

"Nooo!" Zack dragged out, copying her tone. "That was the worst shot I've ever seen!"

"You think you can do better?" Pepperman hummed.

"Is that a challenge?" Zack smirked.

"Zack!" Freya whisper-yelled. "We're supposed to be babysitting them, not antagonising them!"

"You should listen to your little snot nosed girlfriend and quit while your ahead, pretty boy." Pepperman sassed.

"You know what, Zack. Antagonise away." Freya said plainly, quit offended from the lady's comment.

"You're on!" He scoffed. "I'll show you snot nosed." Zack shuffled the puck across the board and landed it perfectly, scoring himself 10 points. Zack cheered, hugging Freya, practically picking her up off the ground.

"Alright, put me down honey." She laughed nervously, trying to hide her fear from the clumsy boy.

"Hey Mr. Barker. Care for a game of shuffleboard?" Zack asked as he finally noticed the man had barely moved a muscle the whole game.

"I'd rather pass another kidney stone." The man grumbled.

"Well if it lands on the 10, you win!" Freya smiled, trying to get the man to show any other emotion besides his obvious negativity.
