Super Zero

Chapter 4

He set down the newspaper in his hands. "It's strange," my dad started, "that Harmony hasn't been real active. She usually is real active this time of year."

"I know what happened to her," I say without thinking. I realized what I said. I looked up from the plate of scrambled eggs, that I made myself, to my dad. I expected him to be angry that I spoken, but He was leaning forward, as if he was interested in what I said. 

"Go on," he said.

"I mean it's just a rumor," I say as I look back down and start to pick at my eggs with my fork, "but I read somewhere that her sidekick, what's his name? Rickie! Be trade her. He must've done something to make her quit." I looked up at my dad. He was...smiling?

"Finally got rid of that blasting problem Harmony!" he happily shouted. "She will not bother anyone anymore." I was hurt at his comment, but then again why would he care?

"I mean I did say it was a rumor," I whisper. "Rumors shouldn't really be trusted at first glance."

"Oh be quite you no power freak!" my sister, Fran, said. I shot her a dirty look. I was not in the mood to be called names. 

"I'm gonna be up in my room," I say. I got up from the table ad left, ignoring my parents as they shouted at me that it was my turn to do the dishes. It's always my turn.

My room isn't anyplace special. It just gives me a place to hide from the bullies I sadly call my parents. I would go to Alec's, but I don't want to see Tessa. Plus, like I said, he be trade me. He would rather listen to his dumb sister than listen to me. I tighten my fists. I wish the rest of my family were me. Just for one day, so they can know the struggle that it takes just to get through an hour of my life. Like that would happen. I fall onto my bed. I didn't want to cry. I couldn't cry. When your me, tears don't help as much as they usually do. The only way is to take yourself away. Enter my room. But even leaving the normal world wasn't an option anymore. It doesn't help. I lost my best friend, partner in crime, the only human on this Earth to even care a little about how I felt. Yet, this all just feels, normal to me. I felt the tears coming, but they never arrived. It's been days since I left my hopes of being noticed behind. Yet, Alec has done nothing to bring me back. I fall asleep. The only thing left to do in this horrible life.
