2nd Book of A Secret Service one shots.
The last chapter of the last chapter isn't even the last chapter because chapters keep appearing.
#1 in Friendship Goals
He walked away and Sophia remained there for a minute, not wanting to walk with him and make him feel he needed to be friends with her.
At her locker, she found the frog Zander had made her sitting inside. She took it down and turned it over, taking in the precious of its creation.
"Are you accepting my present now?" Zander asked.
"Yes, I am. And I have something for you as well." She handed him the second bag of cookies. "I had to make these to apologize to someone and I realized I could also make some for you as a return present."
"Woah! Really? No one has ever made me cookies before," he said. He opened the bag and shoved a full cookie into his mouth. "Thank you."
With the cookie in his mouth, it came out more muffled but Sophia understood. She set the frog back in her locker.
"I want to apologize to you if how I responded to you was rude."
Zander shook his head and swallowed. "No. You said it wasn't about me."
"Thank you for taking that at face value."
"It's what I like about you, you say exactly what you mean. I've grown up going to all-boy schools, they tell you what they're thinking and sometimes with an insult. It was nice you didn't add an insult. Besides, it's how you've always talked to me. The first time we met you said you struggle to make small talk with people you don't know but if I'd like to hear facts about pandas, you'd be happy to share."
"It was a phase I was going through."
"You don't like pandas anymore."
"I like them I simply don't feel the need to educate everyone I meet about them."
Zander cocked his head and Sophia wasn't sure how to decipher the look. It was curious and thoughtful but she couldn't pinpoint why her statement about pandas would produce such a reaction.
"What if your nickname was Panda?" he asked.
"I don't see the correlation between pandas and my name, which is usually how a nickname is formed."
"Or they are formed from connections between two things. When I think of pandas, I think of you. I thought of you as Panda Girl for a couple months after our first meeting. Also, pandas are lovable rare animals."
"Not most people find me lovable."
"That's because they don't take the time to know you."
"So I'm your Panda?"
"Yes."
Sophia could acknowledge how the link made sense to Zander but wasn't sure about how she felt being called panda.
"Can I think about whether I like that nickname or not?" she asked.
Zander grinned and took another cookie out of the bag. "Of course. We have years to figure out what nickname works for you."
Years to figure it out. Sophia didn't know why but that statement made her want to smile.
(I say this because right outside my window it is currently snowing. And you are precious like a beautiful snowflake!)
Do you have thoughts? If not, I'm sorry that must mean life is stressful and you're just zoning out for a bit. If you're part of the rare few who still has thoughts and want to share them then I will stop zoning out and hear (read) them! 💭🗯💬❄️
What do you think of Panda for Sophia's nickname?
(Sounds freaking bizarre to me)
What are my thoughts? Currently it's why did I look in the mirror today?! That was a terrible decision.
Also I figured out my plan for world domination: tristate area. a platypus. a hat. kidnapping. Perry. I mean, I think it's a solid plan.
Thoughts about this chapter? Oh, yeah I think I have some about that. Actually it's just one thought: WHY IS DONOVAN SO WONDERFUL!
I mean seriously, I love how he is just this pillar of understanding and strength for the people around him. It's so nice. I think it's cute that Sophia knows exactly who to go to when she hits different problems.
And she's right about Mason, he's likely to blame everyone expect his daughter. But it's okay because we love him for that!
Am I slightly less amusing than most days? I don't know, sometimes I feel like I'm as boring as a blank piece of paper. Other days I think I'm as exciting as the potential of a blank piece of paper. I guess it's just how you look at life for that day!
Today since it's still early I'm going to say I'm a pencil hovering above that piece of paper. Who knows what will come with the rest of the day!
I'm going to dip now before I actually touch the page and just scribble a lot of nonsense.
Ha! Too late!
Vote, comment, follow but only if you fill like you are the potential piece of paper!
