"Zoe! Zack! " I shouted as I climbed up the last step that would lead me to the kids floor.
I got no reply and frowned, walking further down the hallway and looked in the first place I thought they could possibly be.

I worked six days of the week, with Sunday being my off day and I was allowed to report an hour layer than I normally did during the week as it was a weekend. At least my boss was lenient. And no despite what you might think, I reported directly to Valarie, which basically saved asshole's life because I highly doubt I had enough patience to tolerate him.
The amount of hatred I felt towards him was actually scary as I had only ever felt such intense hate for one person. I should have probably worried about my hatred for him as he was still my boss but I just didn't give a fuck at the moment.

Despite it being a weekend, Valarie had told me that the kids still woke up at eight am, which was shocking because who in the world would fucking wake up that early on their free day? These kids apparently. I wish I had such an opportunity and was slightly envious of them, though their miserable lives, sorry to say, made me thankful for my always busy adventurous life.

When I didn't find any of them in their bedrooms, I went to the game room which was the only other room they enjoyed hanging out and I found them watching the spider man animated series.
I walked in trying to be as silent as possible though I had a feeling they had already felt my presence.
"Hey guys!" I greeted them as I sat down, putting the shopping bag besides my legs.
"Hey weirdo." Greeted Zoe with a smile which I returned with a playful glare. Zack waved at me, smiling at me, his cute dimples coming to play. I had noticed that Zack never talked out loud and would whisper when he wanted to say something into a person's ear. I figured something had happened to make him that way and although I was tempted to ask questions I felt we hadn't established that kind of trust.
"What you got there?" Asked Zoe her eyes already on the bag.
"Oh nothing special. Just something I thought of getting yesterday." I replied trying to contain my excitement.
"And you brought it here why?" She asked, and although it sounded rude, she was actually just curious.
"Well, yeah. Cause they aren't exactly mine." I said smiling smugly.
"Can you cut to the chase already?" She said her impatient self getting frustrated, something i noted we had in common.
"Can't you just be a normal kid for once and play along?" I asked her back, frowning.
"Well, that's just a dumb question coming from you, of all people. We both know that my IQ doesn't exactly to be classified as normal. Two, there is a saying that goes like, normal is overrated or something like that." She replied and I rolled my eyes at her blunt comment. The more I got to know her the more she sounded like Sheldon from the series Big Bang Theory.
"Wouldn't hurt you to act like one once in a while though." I replied lowly my gaze moving from her to Zack who I noticed had subtly increased the volume of the TV and had completely ignored us, paying attention to the series.
"Exactly. Once in a while. Today is not one of those days. Besides its too early and my brain is resting." She replied sassily. Okay I change my mind, she's more like a sassy version of Sheldon which was even scarier.
"Does a genius 's brain ever rest?" I asked lowly sarcastically.
"Actually..."she started but I cut her off. She clearly didn't get that it was a rhetoric question.
"Never mind. Its a gift for you two." I said extending the bag for her to take.
"Ill let the fact that you were rude to me slide because I actually love gifts and you gave me a peace offering." She said as she opened the bag and I felt anxious for some unknown reason again.
She slowly took the items in the bag out and I hated how she took her time when doing things. I felt like she enjoyed making me nervous as I waited for her to give me a feedback.
She took the ball out first and I saw her eyes widen in shock and happiness, her lips widening as a smile took over her face, making her glow. At that moment she was the prettiest girl I'd ever seen.
Zack had by then paused his series, his attention on us as his green eyes watched our interaction closely.
