Z975 (ON HOLD)

Chapter 13

      When I walked into school the next day everybody was looking at me , and whispering. I didn't think of it much. I just thought it was the usual taunting, gawking , and terrorizing. Then I noticed all the teachers staring, giving me the evil eye. That's when I noticed Claire and the smug look on her face.

       I walked over to her with authority. I got up in her face.

      " What did you do? I demanded. She gave me that dumb innocent look.

      " I have no idea what's going on," she said and smiled.

      " Tell me now or --,".

       " Or what?" she interrupted. I didn't know what was going on , but I felt my body getting hot with anger. I lost it.

      I grabbed her up by her collar and smashed her up against the lockers. It made a deafening bang , and I could feel the heat of people staring , but I didn't care.

      Claire looked scared for a moment ,but  then smiled and laughed.

      " You know your only making this worse for yourself," she said. " You are only proving my point. Especially since...". She just stopped and gave me a look that ment she was hiding something.

       " What?" I asked.

      " Oh it's nothing really. I might have just told some people your trip. To Terminal X,". I didn't react to her words.

      " They wouldn't believe you," I said. " You don't have any proof,". I smiled in my little victory.

       " Don't I?" she said. My smile immediately dropped . The photo. The flower.

        Still holding her up , I turned my head around at the people staring, recording the scene. I saw a teacher on the red phone. The red phone was for police emergencies only.

        " Crap!" I said under my breath. I let her go and she fell to floor. Melissa and Dana ran and helped her up.

         " What are you going to do now?" she said giving me another smug look.

         Run.

         I ran out of the school , and started running to my house. My phone dinged and I took it out.

            ALERT: ROGUE CYBORG ON THE LOOSE. WARNING : COULD BE DANGEROUS.

         " Crap!!!" I said and ran faster. I could hear my heart pounding.

         I was almost there when I saw police hover cams recording me. It was scanning me and then it let out a siren.

         " Fudge balls!!" I ran faster then I ever had before. I ran into my house and locked the doors.

         " Z975?" Gerard voice rang through the house.

          I ignored him and ran into my mother's and father's room. I ran to the closet door and threw all of the clothes out of my way. In the back of the closet was an eye scanner. I put my eye by it .

    

          ACCEPTANCE CONFIRMED , WELCOME Z975

          " Z975," Gerard's voice rang out again. " What's going on? You know not allowed in there,".

          A back wall opened up. Inside was a hoverboard  for emergencies only. I grabbed it and ranned into my room. I grabbed my back pack and threw some clothes and my pills into it.

          " Z975," Gerard annoying voice rang out again." There are police officers approaching the door. Should I contact your parents?".

          " NO!!!!" I shouted.

          There was a loud pounding at the door. " Open up we know your in there!" a man shouted.

           I opened the window and grabbed my bag. I quickly activated the door. I jumped on , and took off.

            In the distance I heard some yelling , but I was to far ahead. I approached Terminal X . I flew into Terminal X and I quickly started to descend. I tried to steer , but I couldn't control it. I was headed for a tree.

           I screamed and jumped off. I fell on the ground landing on my arm. I held it to me close. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain on my arm. My head felt cloudy. I look down at my arm and saw a tranquilizer dart in my arm. My eyes closed.

            " Oops," I heard. It sounded like Spade.

             " Look what the cat dragged in,".

             Then darkness again.
