There was exactly no chance of my survival. Absolutely none, it was me against the world. I mean its not like I don't trust Zerek's weird older brother, it's just when you are sent colliding into the floor with one smirk, it was bound to be bad! He could be like a spy or whatever, some kind of espionage agent looking for clues to tell the tabloids about my Dad raping guinea pigs, which is so not true.
It's not a good thing- as I was always taught, you were never supposed to embarrass yourself in front of your allies. Dad used to tell me never to show a weak side. Well I've just showed the entire world enough of my weak side to last a month. I'm done with being embarrassed, and honestly if this is what Zerek was talking about, I quit. I just want to be a hobo. Everyone needs to leave me alone.
All I wanted was to be a normal girl, some girl who was in the marching band or something. But no. My extracurricular activities were politics, learning ballroom dancing, and trying to murder Zerek socially.
A bag of ice was pressed against my nose, as Parker, Zerek's weird older brother, and my father speak in hushed tones. I can't hear, no, of course not, I'm a girl. I hiss in pain, and glare at Zerek's weird older brother's backside, sticking my tongue out.
I was seriously peeved! Moodily shaking my hand, I concentrated on the increasing pain on my forehead. They hadn't had the grace to catch me either!
I brushed the brown hair out of my eyes, stood up, and slyly inserted myself in the group from five feet away, pretending to examine a poster on the wall. Dad's whispers got softer as he scowled harder, Parker nodded grimly, pursing his lips while Zerek's freak of a brother held his perfect ivory face blank. I strained my ears, and heard my Dad's angry croak.
"Watch-", and with that word my father looked up, and I acted busy, shuffling around.
I was unsure I wanted someone deciding for me. I wanted to live my life! But it looks like Parker and that freak weren't here to help me... But to stop me from something. And in a way they would be just like Zerek. In it for the money and an ounce of satisfaction of destroying me. And it really was me against the world again. Except I couldn't even trust my own allies....
