**TRIGGER WARNING**
Zehra, Athena, Louie, and Dewey. A friend group for the ages! Well.... or so we thought... Lies, deceit, rape, death. All that come into play, testing the couples strengths. Can they work through the challenges and obstacles need...
"Um.. Sir? I messed up..." I hide my head in my hands and I feel like throwing up and crying.
"What happened?"
Why is he being kind to me?! He should make me suffer, and punish me! FIRE ME! Do something! Just not this... don't listen... you won't like it.
"First, I aimed wrong, and my grappling hook didn't catch the window..." I start.
"Uh oh..." He says like a child, making me feel a little better.
"Then, we got caught by Scrooge McDuck's great nephews. And... I made friends with one..."
I hear him chuckle and I look up to see him watching me... Surprisingly. I was expecting him to not care, and focus on his papers... but he's listening...
"Can I guess which one?"
I nod.
"I think you became friends with the blue one... er- Bluey?" He said his name wrong... if Dewey was here, he;d be mad.
Well, we don't want that...
"It's actually Dewey..." I correct.
"Oh... you did... and you blew your cover?"
I whimper and nod.
He's going to fire me...
"I think you need a vacation-"
I stand up from my seat. "NO! I'M SORRY! I- I WON'T MESS UP NEXT TIME!! PLEASE, SIR!"
He seems startled by my outburst, but then he smiles.
"What are you going on about?"
I sit back down, and listen.
Like he's been doing to me.
"There's a GlomGold Gala... I want you and your sister to attend it! It'll help clear your mind, and a fun night out. This much pressure on 13 year olds can't be good. Now, go on! Get ready! It's tonight! It's at GlomGol-"
"GlomGold's mansion, I know! THANK YOU SIR!"
I run out the door, stop, then run back in.
I quickly embrace my professor in a hug, then run to my room.
---LATER---
"Come out! Let me see!!" Athena yells from outside the bathroom I'm in.
Opening the door, I hear gasps and awes.
"Zehra! Oh, Matt would be so happy for you!" Dad says, thankfully mom ignored it...
"OOHH! GURL! Blue is DEFINITELY your color!" Athena says.
"Aww! My baby girl's all grown up!" Mom wipes a fake tear from her eye.
I look in the mirror for the first time. Yes, I was in the bathroom, but I didn't look in the mirror.
I didn't think I deserve it... I still don't... but let's see what I look like.
