Gosh it's been too long.
Chapter 5- Teenage Dream
Zero is a good kid. Does his homework, gets on honor roll, that whole thing.
His sister, on the other hand, isn't.
She skips school to do things like this.
She's always getting arrested, and that makes Sage really angry. Seriously, Ken never yells at her.
It's bad.
So you can only imagine the tension as Zero ages up.
But I think we all know he'll never be like his sister.
Proof is when Prom rolls around. Note what Ree's wearing.
And look at Zero's simple outfit.
But prom was pretty much the same for both of them. They got in lots of fights, got denied on the dance floor, yet Zero was able to pull off Prom King.
Afterwards Rhiannon goes to celebrate for her little bro, without him.
They become best friends. Ree gets hauled home by police around 1 a.m and gets grounded this time.
But it doesn't dampen her spirit.
The parents seem to think more school and work (yes she has a part time job...) will fix their downward spiraling daughter.
But in the end it won't. Because there's something they don't know.
Z: I see you've snuck out again.
R: What did you expect? And you, what are you doing out so late?
Z: I'm shocked you even know what curfew is. Don't worry I'll make it home on time.
R: (sigh) I hate authority Zero. So stupid.
Z: Yes, well for all of our lives there will always be someone higher than us. That's how it is.
R: Not for me.
Z: No?
R: I'm talking about the legacy Zero. I don't want it. I don't want to be heir. First time I heard about it, I was angry. Like, how can our own parents make us do something like this? Follow some rules set by somebody who doesn't know us. Zero....I forfeit.
Z: You mean..
R: Yah bro, you're the heir now. And before you thank me, tik tok better get home before curfew
heir!
And then the DeAngelos make the biggest mistake of their digital lives..
THEY LEAVE THE TEENS HOME ALONE!!
First thing that happens is a major party.
Zero makes a friend cough cough.
But it's over all too soon.
Turns out, it wasn't a vacation! They were scouting schools.. for Rhiannon!
And just like that she was gone.
Off to Fort Starch Military School.
