" and look at you now , just one step closer of becoming a viewer like myself "
chapter 8 : upgrades
The moment Zayn's break came around he was quick to stop what he was doing and give himself a chance to breathe. Mondays were always the busiest, which meant that loads and loads of supplies had to be packed so they could send it off elsewhere. He had tiny cuts on his arm, his palms were rough, and he smelled like he has been sitting in a dusty room for far too long. Zayn's job wasn't the easiest, but he didn't find himself quitting because this is what kept him from dying.
He sat on the top of the roof of the building which was his favorite place to be at. Zayn was all alone and he liked it that. Since the windows on the building was tinted meant that he didn't get sunlight for hours. This was his only time to take in the sun and the landscape that was around him. His job was a mile away from the city which meant that his job was in a no man's land area. Other Coppas just like him worked in this hellhole of a factory for the same thing—and that was to make money and survive this harsh world.
After chugging down his water Zayn's phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and unfolded it, the transparent screen displaying that he has received a message from Munirah.
New Message - Munirah
:: I know you're probably at work but I just wanted to check in and tell you to have a good day.
Zayn found himself smiling at the sweet message. He then got to replying so he could text her back. After he was done he sent it and waited if he would get a quick reply.
Message Sent to Munirah
:: Ur sweet. Im on break rn so I have sum time to talk if u would like?
New Message - Munirah
:: Great. Now I can tell you how bad the ball sucked last night. Kid you not, I wanted to kill myself.
Message Sent to Munirah
:: o no..pls don't
New Message - Munirah
:: I was on the verge but I didn't do it because I know that you can't live without me ;)
Message Sent to Munirah
:: nvm u should have done it
:: jk
New Message - Munirah
:: First of all, you will be the death of me..literally.
:: Secondly what the hell does "nvm" and "jk" mean???
Zayn laughed a little bit. Just before he was about to text her a response he heard someone opening the door that led up to the roof. He had turned around to only see that it was his boss.
"I knew that I would find you up here," smiled Danny, his bright vibrant blue eye twinkling at Zayn.
Zayn stood up to his feet, and respectfully asked, "Is there anything you need sir?"
"Just some exciting news, that's all," Danny tells him with a calm tone.
"Really?" Zayn asks with a brow raising up.
"Yes," Danny nodded with a smile. "You have been working here since you were like eighteen, correct? I mean, you have done everything I have asked and you are a very hard worker."
"What are you getting at sir?" Zayn was confused, and a bit irritated that this man wasn't getting to the point.
"I came here to do the honors of promoting to to our new director's position," Danny finally tells him with a big smile.
Zayn's eyes must have tripled their size because he did not expect that.
"Go on, take it all in son. You deserve it pal," Danny chuckled patting on his shoulder.
"I-I'm honored sir," Zayn stammered, he couldn't even speak right because he was so shocked. He never imagined this happening to him.
"Please, call me Danny because we're friends now, correct?" The rich man chuckles.
"Yes," Zayn nodded eagerly. "Thank you sir—I mean Danny."
"It means that you will be getting out of the work force and you won't be down there with the rest of those scrubs which is a good thing. All you have to do is keep track of the shipments and you can boss people around if something is not running smoothly," Danny informed him. "I'm counting on you Zayn."
"Again, thank you," Zayn nodded respectfully.
"And look at you now, just one step closer of becoming a Viewer just like myself," Danny smiled, and something with him saying that made Zayn feel a bit uneasy.
But Zayn ignored that part and just went on with it, "Yes indeed we are."
"Great, you'll start tomorrow and I'll have my people train you," Danny tells him. "Now have a good day Zayn."
"You too," Zayn tells him with a small wave, waiting for his boss to leave so he can celebrate with a shimmy of his hips while he threw his fist in the air. And he had to tell Munirah.

After they had finalized their plans for this weekend Zayn checked the time on his phone and decided that he should be heading back downstairs now. And for once in his life he had something to look forward to.
