CHAPTER 13

I stood there obnoxiously,as she walked toward me, she seemed very suspicious of me at first, but then, I remembered she hates me more than I hate pickles.

"Why are you here?" She asked, coldly, "What are you doing here? You should know that no-one's supposed to be here, wandering about like you don't have a job to do."

"Actually, it's saturday," I said, raising my eyebrows in obviousness. "No one at PAOMAS works on Saturdays."

She scoffed, because she lost it to a 13Year old girl. Talk about being a loser. Not to be rude or anything, but, Tisha deserves it, she deserves the hate.

"Plus…" I continued, hoping that Isaiah and Mia would join me to give her a lecture, and make everyone at PAOMAS laugh at her stupidity. I knew I was crossing a line, but I knew, If I stopped now, she'd start to send Marcus after me again, Trying to make my life miserable. "What kind of a person are you? Having child labour, Making teenagers work harder than they should be."

"Look kid, I'm the boss here." She said menacingly, "I know how to run this place more than a stupid child, who lectures me about child labour when we are the only ones alive in this planet."

She was very salty, and a bit cheesy and corny, I had crossed a line but she couldn't do anything about it. 'Well for now' I thought. Speaking of cheesy, I was to go to Mia and Isaiah, and show them my latest discovery, then head to lunch.

"Tch" I mocked her, "PAOMAS isn't the only people here"

I walked out of there without giving a second thought of this conversation, because Tisha had lost her only ability to take control. The tablet. Mia probably destroyed it. I turned back to see Tisha, whose jaw dropped in anger. I Went over to the same place where the lab people were fixing my arm and face up. It was still a bit hard for me to talk though, but, then, after a few seconds of grinding my jaw in circles for a few seconds, I felt as good as new.

To my triumph, they weren't there, 'Sucks to be me, I guess...' Then, I walked over towards the exit to see if they were there, and, nah, they weren't

"Mia! Isaiah! If you're trying to mess with me… then Quit it." I stood there, silent, I got no response so I left the wing and walked towards the cafeteria, they were here. I felt a bit betrayed, but what could they do? They might've gotten a bit bored when I was off to the human testing lab, so they probably came here to do something. I walked up to them slowly, making no sound, and would yell out "HELLO TO THE PEOPLE WHO DITCHED ME"

They didn't seem to notice, so I took their silence to yell out, "HELLO TO THE DITCHERS!"

They were startled, they took a few deep breaths as if they were breathing after a 5 minute gap of no air. They frowned like I were disturbing their secret talk.

"Hey Natalie!" Isaiah said, trying to be cheerful, I would've believed that he was happy to see me, but the frown he tried to hide gave it away, "I see your uh um… active since that attack"

"Yeah…" I said, trying to not show my hurt feelings, "Am I disturbing something?"

"K-k-kinda" Mia stuttered, based on these few days' analysis on her, I figured that she's a very bad liar.

My face probably showed obvious hurt, aside from hiding things, they didn't want me to get involved with that, they were probably trying to protect me, and I trusted them, because I don't have any trust issues. Nope, not that! I knew friends were meant to be trusted. Going on, I knew that I could trust them but something was surely not right.
