Z975 (ON HOLD)

Chapter 2

Ring!Ring! was the noise that was going off in my head and " Z975 it's time to wake up and go to school," said a unknown voice. Then I realized it was only Gerard waking me up. Moaning I sat up and opened my eyes , and rubbed my real one. I got up and spent like two minutes picking out my outfit and my hair. Unlike normal sixteen year olds who spend two hours making sure that their hair is perfect , and their clothes and all that crap. When your me nothing looks good on you or fits.

Because when half you is grey and a little bulky, things are going to look weird. Plus, no one likes me so why should I spent my units on stuff that are going to look ridiculous. Mom says I should wear nice clothes because wearing nice clothes make people feel good about themselves and some other junk she read on the Interweb.

" Oh honey you look like a train wreck," said Melanie Griffin, otherwise known as mom.

" Good because I feel like one ," I replied entering the dinning room for breakfast and apparently another lecture.

" Oooh sounds like someone is cranky," said my sister, Gina , but I call her genie I don't know why.

" Yeah because I have a bratty little sister who is always in my business!"

" Z975!," my mom said. Whenever I'm in trouble she calls me by my full name. " Do not talk to your sister like that. Now come eat your breakfast I made your favorite. Water and nutrition pills!"

I have to have these nutrition pills because I only have half of a throat so I can only have pills that my dad makes or like soup and easy stuff like that. My dad works for Errorwell Co. It's a business, science, and medical technology place where pretty much every adult in Carswell works there. Errorwell Co is the future for the world , as my dad says. He is CEO of the company and all he talks about is how Errorwell is breaking through the technology we have now. Also that he is working on a big project but he won't tell me.

" I'm not hungry," I said. " Where's dad?"

" He is in the office," mom answered. " Don't be to long Z, your father is about to head off to work and you have to go to school,".

" OK," I said. I ran down the hall and turn to the left. Dad's office is made of glass . All of the furniture is white and has been freshly clean by Errorwell Co's helping hand bot , also one of my " friends".

Dad was sitting at his desk working on his eltro pad. " Hey dad," I said.

" Hello Z," said Dad. " How was your food pills? I change the flavor from pancakes to eggs and bacon,".

" I didn't eat ,I'm not hungry," I answered.

" That's not good Z ," he stood up and walked towards me.

" You need to keep up your energy," he put a hand on my robot side and we started walking towards the kitchen." Just because your half robot doesn't mean your invincible. Your still human and I don't want anything to happen to you,".

When he finished his sentence we were in the kitchen. Mom and genie had already left. He pick up the pills and put them in my normal hand.

" Have a good day Z," he said. I took them and swallowed them.

" You too," I said and opened the door. " And dad,"

"Yes honey?"

" I like the pancakes better," and I headed to school.
