More on the first day

The bell rung for the fifth time today and all students marched to the school cafeteria for lunch. I skipped through the doors with KC and max behind us as we grabbed trays and ordered our meals and took a seat to eat.

KC: So, enjoying your first day so far?

Bionia: It's been amazing, so much I have learned, school is the best place to be.

Max: Odd words coming out of the mouth of a 21st century kid.

Bionia: Was it offensive?

KC: Don't mind him, he's just trolling you.

  As we ate, the sound of a tray being knocked over was heard, everyone in the cafeteria including us glanced at the direction of the sound. The action was carried out by a boy from our grade, who had two other boys backing him up, against an Indian boy whom was a new student.

Bully: Dude, I don't take things for granted, if you knew the reputation I had here, you would know not to mess with me.

Indian boy: But I did no wrong to you, why do you choose to torture me?

Bully: I told you I wouldn't let you go sort free after you told the teacher that we were playing with my Nintendo during class.

Indian boy: It's wrong and I had to tell.

Bully: (mimics him) It's wrong and I had to tell, that's how you sound like!

Bully 2: Teach him a lesson he'd never forget.

Bully 3: Yeah do it!

Bully: (cracks his knuckles) After this, you will know to keep your mouth shut.

  I couldn't watch that kid get beating up for doing the right thing, so I stood up walking to the bully and tapped him on his shoulder. He turned around looking at me with confused.

Bully: What do you want?

Bionia: Beating up your fellow mates is against school rules, he didn't do anything bad to you so there's no need to establish dominance just because you had your game seized when you know very well that you aren't allowed to bring such items to school.

  All eyes were on me and the bully looked much angered than before.

Bully: You better stay out of this or else you want your share of the punishment, you're lucky I don't hurt girls.

Bionia: Technically, I'm non-binary.

Bully: (grins) Alright then.

  The bully raised his fist and delivered a swift punch my way but thanks to my robotic instincts I reacted quickly and caught the punch, twisting his hand which made him yelp in pain, and kicked him away which sent him falling onto his back.

Bionia: If you're student of this school,  as long as you wear that uniform, you gotta abide by the rules, since no one's  around to enforce them I'll do it myself.

   The bully by now was already scared, his friends rushed to him and helped him up then they ran of the cafeteria. I turned towards the Indian kid, my serious face turning back to my bright face with wide smile. I stretched my hand towards him as he took it and I helped him up, he was taller than me but who cares.

Indian boy: Thanks.

Bionia: No prob, I'm bionia btw.

Indian boy: Ravi, Ravi shivagami.

Bionia: You seem lonely.

Ravi: Hard time making friends on the first day.

Bionia: Come sit with me and my friends then.

  I lead Ravi back to where KC and max sat, eyes still on us as we sat down.

Max: What a show you put on.

KC: It was amazing! You stood up to Zane draun, no one has ever done that since the first grade. He always has a high ego just because his family is among the richest in our school.

Bionia: If he's so rich what's he doing in a public school? I don't like seeing people tortured, it activates something in me.

Ravi: Well, yet again I thank you.

Bionia: Yet again no prob.

Ravi: (laughs).

  I was cooking on my first day and I loved it.

  By the time school closed me, KC, Ravi and max had already formed into a group. We went home together since our houses are in the same neighborhood. Ravi's was closest to school, followed by KC's which was some stone throws away from me and Max's.

          **********************

  When I got home that day, I saw some luggages placed outside the house which got me curious. I went inside and saw Isa on her computer while Nathan was putting some stuff together in a box.

Bionia: Hey, I'm home!

Isa: (looks up from her computer) bionia! How was your day?

Bionia: Awesome! I learned alot about humans and chemistry.

Nathan: That's nice, you seem to be adapting fine.

Bionia: BTW what's with the luggage outside?

  Isa and Nathan froze for a moment before snapping back to reality.

Nathan: Our company got a one-year contract deal to a robotics company in china and we were selected along with some other employees to go.

Bionia: Wait! So we're leaving, for a whole year!

Isa: Yes.

Bionia: But I'm finally adapting with my environment, I'm developing a personality and I've made friends.

Isa: It's our job.

Bionia: I don't have to go do I? I can stay.

Nathan: All on your own?

Isa: I don't like that idea.

Bionia: (kneels) Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. I won't get into trouble, I'll be good.

Nathan: (whispers to Isa).

Isa: (sighs) alright fine.

Bionia: Yay!

Nathan: (phone beeps) That's our signal, bionia help me get these boxes into the car.

Bionia: Okay (picks up a box) what's in them?

Nathan: Robotic parts and samples for projects.

  We loaded up the car with the things Isa and Nathan needed and they were ready to go. Nathan came out holding a box with Isa behind him.

Nathan: Alright bionia, we'll be gone by whole year but we'll keep in touch with you everyday.

Isa: Take these Smart glasses since you don't have a phone yet.

Bionia: (takes the glasses and puts them on) .

Nathan: (puts down the box)  This is something to keep you company so you won't be alone in the house, open it.

  I bent down opening the box and I immediately got tackled to the ground by a small German shepherd dog.

Bionia: Aww a dog, yay!

Nathan: His name's bolts and he's designed to be a guard dog for children.

Bionia: He's a robot? He looks and feels so real (pats the happy dog's head).

Isa: Well your parents are genius robotic engineers.

Bionia: (chuckles) Ofcourse (hugs both of them) journey safely, I love you guys.

Isa: We love you too (kisses them on the forehead) goodbye.

Bionia: Bye.

  As the car drove out of the street I felt an odd pain in my chest, dang I was really gonna miss them. As I stood there tears rolling down my face for the first time in my life I felt an unusual presence around me. I didn't feel at ease so I went inside the house with bolts behind me and locked the door.

Viewer's pov

  A man dressed in black hid in the bushes and observed bionia as she watched Isa and Nathan leave and went inside the house.

Mr Rogeren: (on speaker) you got eyes on the target?

Man: Yes sir, Engineer Nathan and Isa have left for the program and the android's home alone.

Mr Rogeren: Perfect, now your job is to watch the bot's every movement and see how she interacts and behaves with everyone then report back to me.

Man: Yes sir.

Mr Rogeren: This project is too special to be thrown into the mud, they're one of a kind as well as the key to the survival of humanity.
