The Non-Believer

Chapter 5

"Ugh when can I leave??" I groan while looking at the clock's direction.

"TICK TOCK TICK TOCK!" the annoying clock replies immediately, practically mocking me.

"Chill out Zoe, we'll get out of here soon, once our times up." Everly responds like this is no biggie.

"Yeah Zoe, times almost up anyways, if we talk we'll just buy ourselves more time than needed in this hell hole, and don't you already have another detention from woodshop?"

Oh right....shit, I forgot about my 'prize' for next week from, Mr.Sky!

"UGGHHHH!" I let out a frusterated moan.

Honestly am I the only one who's annoyed by the damn clock?! I got another detention and this one happened to be, today, on a SATURDAY! MY SATURDAY! The only day I get to stay away from this prison. It all began right after I left the hell hole, and now I'm back where I began.

(A/N flashback to what got them to detention)

"ZOE!"

I jolt awake to the sudden noise, and look out the window. It's dark. I guess I slept through the day. Oh well! I love sleep.Before I get up, questions start to fill my mind.

a)What year is it? 2015.

b)How old am I? 17.

c)What time is it? 8:32.

d)Where is my mom?......

As I got up from my bed, and rubbed my eyes, and took in my appearence, I gasped, taken aback by my hair. I quickly pulled it back to a slick ponytail after brushing it.

OMG, did the world end, and I didn't notice?! That would explain, why mom isn't anywhere to be found.....and now that I think about it, where is Molly? I stood frozen for a good amount of time, then I hear it again.

"ZOE GET DOWN HERE FOR DINNER RIGHT NOW!"

Then it dawned me after an idiot moment passed by, if the world ended, then how am I still alive? I mentally face palm myself, and think;*STUPID ZOE* . I then rush downstairs to meet my mother with my oatmeal in her hands.

"Oops sorry mom." I say as I give her kiss on the cheek, and take the bowl from her hands. I start gulping it down almost immedatily.

"It's okay, but listen next time." she says, and by the looks of it she's about to give me a lecture.

NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT.

She's about to say something, but I cut her off, as if I didn't even know she was going to say something.

"Mom where is Molly?"

"She's at a friend's sleepover."

My eyes pop out of my head, either I need to get mom out of the house, or I need to. I went the second option.

"Mom, can I go stay the night at Zena's I was gonna ask earlier, but I feel asleep."

"No, it's too late."

She looked firm, and it seemed like she wasn't gonna change her mind, but I HAVE to try. I've waited too long.

"Everly is gonna be there...." I say in a sing-a-song tone.

Mom has always been fond of Eve, mainly since she was the more mature one, whereas me, and Zena were childish to the max!

"Okayy, but don't get into any trouble, and don't drag Eve in any misheive either." She finally relents, and accuses me.
