Zinnia, where are you off too this early morning. It's not even time for school yet, can't you wait a little longer for your sister's to get ready so I can drop you off at school when I'm off to work... Mr plankton said.
Don't worry dad, I have a school project to handle and I don't think there wouldn't be bus at the bus station this morning... Zinnia replied. I really need to take off early so that I can meet up with Charlie to deliver news paper, she murmured.
Did you say something??. Mr plankton asked, worried
No I didn't.. she replied.
But I can still drop you off now you know, the society isn't safe this early... He replied
Dad, I'll be fine, just drop off Oliver and Kitty when they are ready, see you when I get back... She said and ran off to meet someone outside
Okay, don't come home late okay... He shouted. Why does she need to run out this early and she didn't even have breakfast, I just hope she will do well today... He thought to himself.
(Outside the plankton's apartment)
Hey Charlie, ready for delivery today... Zinnia questioned in a cheerful voice
I should be the one asking, when will you tell your parents about this job you are doing, it's better for them to hear it from you than to hear it from somewhere else... Charlie answered in a calm tone
They would know when the time comes, I just hate to see the way mom and dad works very hard to give us a good life and I'm not able to do anything, I wish I could do other things too... She stated
But you know you are still too young to be putting all this tought in your head, and did they ever complain to you that they cannot take care of you and your sister's... Chat asked
It's not a must to hear it from them before you know there is trouble... She responded
Okay then let's move from here before we get caught... He said
At school.
The teacher in class introduces a new student named Tyler and looking at him one could deduce that he is a very calm and charming person. The teacher asked him to introduce himself.
Hey, I am Tyler. I'm new, I hope to get along well with you all and please guide me... Tyler said
OMG 😱 , his voice is so deep and calm... Said one of the classmates
I am definitely dating him, this guy is mine... Said another
What do you think about the guy, he looks calm and okay... Charlie said to Zinnia
Don't get deceived by his voice and looks, they can be misleading... Zinnia said while placing her textbook on the table.
You may have your seat at the back of Zinnia... Said the teacher
Tyler walked down to Zinnia 's seat and sat at her back.
Hi, I'm Tyler. I hope to be guided by you... Tyler said to Zinnia tapping her
I heard you when you said it earlier and weren't you taught not to tap a stranger, it can be annoying you know. And don't think because of your looks and because everyone is talking and falling for you, I would also do the same. I'm not like others, I am different... Zinnia blurted out
Whoa, whoa whoa, calm down. I was only introducing myself and trying to make friends... Tyler replied
Well, now you know what to do and what not to do. Thanks... She replied him
What's her deal... Tyler thought to himself
I'll make her mine... He also thought
The bell rang for break hour
Zinnia, what are you getting for break... Charlie asked
Oh, Zinnia, that's her name... Tyler said to himself
Uhmn, not sure yet but let's go see what the cafeteria has for us... She replied Charlie
On their way to the cafeteria
Zinnia... Charlie called
Yes, what is the matter... She responded
What was that you pulled during class?? He asked
What did I do... She asked
The stuff with Tyler... He said
Ohhhhh, that. What's wrong with that... She questioned
Why did you answer him like that he was just trying to make friends with you... He clarified
But I don't want to be his friend, life has more to it than making friends... She replied sharply
But you know you can't keep on being cold to other guys... Charlie reminded her
Can we stop talking about boys and eat... She answered
(They ordered what they will eat, ate anddwent back for class. The bell for the closing hour rang and they all left class. On the way out of class, a clique of 3 girls named Emerald, Hope and Candy stopped Zinnia)
Hey blockhead...said one of them named Emerald
Hello stone head... Replied Zinnia
Hey, don't you dare call me that, do you know who my dad is... Emerald said in an angry tone
So what if he is Elon Musk, do you think I care...Zinnia asked in a sharp tone
Hey, stop it, don't speak to Emerald like that... Said Hope one of Emerald's clique girls
Hello, Emerald's dog, didn't know you have started contributing to conversations, your confidence is back right... Zinnia said
Hey, stop it, do you... Hope who was interrupted by Emerald shouted
Hey girls, we are not here to fight remember... Emerald asked in a calm tone
Yes we aren't but tell her to watch her mouth... Candy finally spoke
Okay, calm girls, and to you Zinnia, stay away from Tyler. He is mine and mine alone. I saw him talking to you earlier, what did he say to you... Emerald asked
Tyler, the new guy??. He just came today and you are already all over him, that shows how cheap you are and why do you want to know what we talked about?? Zinnia asked
What did you just say to me, well, like I said, I am not here to fight. Just watch your back. Girls, let's go... Emerald said
Watch your back... Candy and Hope said and ran after Emerald
Omg, I don't know how so e girls think in this age. A guy you barely know is who you call yours?... Zinnia said disgusted
Zinnia the fighter, seee the way you answered them, what if they had beaten you up, what would you have done?? Charlie asked
See let's go, people like them are all talk and no show... She answered
(They left school and hurried home)
