Zi Takes Off

Krea and Zi were back home. Zi gathered up her paperwork and nodded. Everything was done. There were doodles on it but anyways she got to go to class now!

Krea didn't have class today so she was there by herself at Asterick Powell University. It was amazing there; a movie theatre and concert hall were fun places to go to!

She got into her classroom and looked around. She was kind of avoiding someone. She thinks they like her. I wonder if they is going to talk to me today..

Yup they were there already. He turned to see who just walked in too. He smiled. Zi just kind of did some kind of smile. I went to sit beside my partner. She said-

"Hey Ziiii!"

"Hey Aubrei!" I smiled. My beanie was on but my flyaway hair was just slowly waving. Glad the fan was on so it wasn't too weird.

"You did your work?" I asked her.

"Yeaaa..." She said. I didn't know what that meant. I raised my eyebrow at her.

"So I did some." She said.

"Woww." I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "Aubrei come on!"

She shrugged her shoulders. The teacher came into class.

"Okay class pass your homework up." Aubrei handed four sheets to me. There were five we needed to turn in. Well that should be at least an 80.

After class was let out I walked down the hallway to go home. Ajax was beside me.

"Zi wassup!" He said.

I was flabbergasted. "Oh hey Ajax!"

He said "I was trying to talk to you. I finally caught you." He smiled. I blushed.

"Oh. Well... I am heading home." I just said.

"Want to grab a bite." He asked.

I was shocked. "A bite?"

"Yeah some food. Something yummy, on me." He threw his hands out like it wasn't nothing. That was kind of cute.

Okay I like food. I tried not to overthink it. "That'll be great!" Food is always great hehe.

"Let's go!" Ajax said.

I walked down the hall beside him and glanced at his features. He wore a black shirt and khaki cargo pants. Nice.

He took me to a car that seemed to fit his personality. He blasted some music when I got inside. Okay. I didn't mind. My sensitive ears could pick up every boom and bass though. I clicked my nails together.

He glanced at me and smiled. "Too loud?" He asked.

"No." I shook my head. My flyaway hair peeked out of my beanie even more and was dancing to the music. I think he noticed.

"Zi..." He said. "Oh nevermind."

I was about to faint. I took out my pink bottle and gulped it down. He's on to me.

"Ajax is everything fine?" I asked in a high pitched voice. Oh man.

"Yeah! I can't wait til you try this place. I just found it not too long ago."

"I'm not too picky." I smiled.

"Okay. Well here we are." He said.

I looked out my window at the place. He came over and opened my door. Oh how sweet. I got out and wanted to text Krea! She is going to freak out once I tell her about Ajax!

The place inside had cute decoration.. there was light music playing and only a few people here. We came to the counter with a big menu on the wall.

We ordered then sat at a table by the window.

"How's chemistry going?" He asked.

"Great! It's easy for me." I said. This is something my family were naturals at. We are Velcro's, so, this was something I really wanted to excel in.

"Really. I kind of suck. I wanted to make medicine or come up with a new substance!"

"Wow! Well that's cool! I hope you succeed!"

I said.

I was on my best behavior. Usually me and Krea would be cracking up over stuff. This was my first time hanging with Ajax. I really avoided him and he's not even that bad.

"Haha thanks!"

We ate our food. It was pretty tasty. Ajax was staring at me.

"Zi..."

"What?" I was nervous...

"I don't know if I'm tripping or not but your hair keeps going in and out of your hat."

My mouth dropped open. I pulled my beanie over my hair. My hair puffed out into a giant afro that appeared like Medusa. My beanie was on the table. I grabbed it and ran.

Oh no oh no oh no... What is my hair doing! I ran down the street and turned a corner. I leaned against the wall and didn't know what to do but hide there.

How am I going to explain this to him! I only told Krea, but turned out she's a mystical too! I am going to see him in class again. Oh he found me.

His hair was wind swept running to keep up with me. I didn't have my beanie on. My hair was still flying around.

He was staring. "Zi..."

I scratched my head. He laughed. What?

"You are cute." He said. Ajax really said that. OMG.

I can't believe he said that. "Thanks." I barely said.

He didn't say anything else. He offered his hand. I tried not to stare at it, he was really treating me normal! I took it and we walked back to his car.

The ride was full of music. I better not go deaf hanging with him. I put my hand on my chin and smiled at my own joke. On the ride back, I stared out the window on my side. The trees rushed by as we passed the streets.

This town had some nice places. The people here are cool. I thought about telling Ajax who I was, but he didn't act like he cared, which was weird. We was just vibing to the music, hair just dancing.

He took me home. My parents had left a note on the fridge. It read-

BE BACK TOMORROW.

So they were here! Then left again! You got to be kidding me.
