"dude, chill!" The guy I saw in the elevator says to who I'm guessing is his brother. Hurt flashes across the younger brothers face, the lady that I'm guessing is, 'watching' them, doesn't do shit. He slows down and begins walking next to me, unknowingly of course.

"Hey," I smile down at him and he looks up, than looks around.

"Your talking to me?" He asks and I nod.

"Yeah," I laugh, "I'm Isabella, but you can call me Bella," I reach my hand out to him, still smiling warmly.

Well, somebody's gotta be nice to him.

He takes my hand, a smile growing making my serotonin levels quake.

He's adorable, why's everyone being mean?

"I'm Grayson, but you can call me Gray," he looks back at his brother, "that's Zachary, he's my older brother." His tone drops, I turn my head and see Zach with narrowed eyes.

"He looks like a dick," I say teasingly and he laughs, letting go of my hand.

"Most of the time he is," Gray sighs and I tilt my head.

"I can tell, I hear the way he talks to you, you seem like a really nice kid. I don't really understand," I chuckle softly and he shrugs.

"I don't know, he thinks I'm annoying, he used to be different," his smile turns into a frown.

"Well, if you want, you can hang out with me today. Well, both of you and your... Mom?" I ask, looking back at the woman with black hair and black shades.

"Oh that's not our mom, I don't know who that is, she's just watching us until we get to our aunt. Which is where we're going now," he smiles and begins to bounces again when he sees the innovation center.

"Really? Does your aunt work here?" I ask and he nods.

"I think so, yeah. I'm sure Zach kn-"

"Dude, you can't just bother random people," Zach threatens, "I'm sorry," he says to me and I shake my head. We stop walking.

"No don't apologise, I was the one that talked to him first," I smile down at him, "Gray seems cool," I wink at him before looking back at Zach.

"Uh," he loses his words and Gray quickly interrupts.

"Oh Zach, this is Isabella, Bella, she's really nice and she said that I can hang out with her if I wanted!" Gray teases, obviously trying to piss his brother off. Yeah, I saw him eyeing me on the boat and the elevator.

"Nice to meet you Bella, I'm Zach, but I don't want you to you know, get annoyed or anything so Gray here," he pats his brother on the shoulder, "will leave you alone." He says and I look down at Gray with a apologetic smile.

"Well, that's fine, if you see me around, which I'm sure you will, your always welcome to come say hi." I say, to Gray.

"See you, Bella." Gray says and I wave, I make eye contact with Zach before turning around back towards the innovation center.

What an asshole. I kind of wanted to talk to Gray.

I hear them argue before Gray runs past, giggling and Zach groans, the lady behind them is obviously tired of this. They walk inside, I hold open the door for some elderly folk to walk in.

"Thank you, honey." One of the women say and I give her a smile. After that I walk in, looking towards the stairs.

Claire said to see her at one in the innovation center... Right?

I see one of my regulars in the 'discover the bones' station. I run behind him and tickle him.

"Bella!" He screams before giving me a hug.

I've known Henry most of the time I've worked here. I met him a month after I started here with my dad.

"Hey Hen," I squeeze him before putting him down. I wave at his parents who quickly greet me.

"How's your day been?" I ask and he shrugs.

"Same as usual. I'm still not tall enough to get on a lot of the rides," he frowns and I tilt my head.

"Well, one day you'll be taller than me and we can go on all the rides together!" I say sweetly, knowing I'll keep my promise.

"Really!?" He squeals, I smile at the 8 year old.

"Of course, we can go to other amusement parks too! We could go to six flags, or to adventure island," I suggest and he smiles ear to ear.

"I can't wait until I'm tall," he spins at the fact, blushing lightly from his cheerfulness. I ruffle up his hair and look around and see Claire talking to some guests.

Shit.

"Well, I've gotta go, I'll see you at the show?" I ask and he nods before pulling me into a hug.

"See ya Bella," he squeezes me and I squeeze him back.

"See ya." I let go and wave at his parents before running towards Claire. That's when I see Zach and Gray... Claire's there aunt?

"Right, of course. I will see you tonight at eight. What time do you go to sleep? Or, or, do you go to sleep at different times?" I clear my throat and everyone's heads turn to me. Zach looks confused while Gray smiles.

"Hey Claire, um, you said I needed to feed the raptors at around 4 and to meet you here at 1..." I remind her and she clicks her tongue.

"Shoot that's right, I just wanted to remind you that Roger and the team wanted to take the trinosaurs to the field and they wanted you to watch the pigs later on as well," She smiles, holding her hands together and I nod.

"Alright, awesome," I smile and I'm about to step down from the stairs when she talks again.

"Oh, Isabella, these are my nephews, Zach and Gray," she smiles, Gray is still smiling, just a little bit harder.

"Oh I know, we've met already actually," I look at Zach again and he nods.

"Yeah, her and Gray seemed to hit it off," Zach says, he looks a little agitated from whatever them and Claire were talking about.

"You work with the dinosaurs!?" Gray says, he was trying to hold in the question but he can't.

"Yeah," I smile and nod.

"That's awesome, what's your favorite dinosaur?" He asks and I look at Claire, she nods.

"You guys should all hang out, but remember what I told you," she looks at me and pats my shoulder, "Okay, so, um, have fun," she looks at Zach than... ZARA, I couldn't tell it was her, "and take very good care of them." She says to Zara with a smile. Than she walks off, through one of the holographic dinosaurs, "Yeah. No, I'm here." I hear her say, pressing into her ear. Gray runs up to me and we walk down the stairs.

"So, what's your favorite dinosaur?" He asks again and I genuinely think about my answer.

"Well, it depends, I take care of the raptors most of the time. But I believe,  my favorite dinosaur is Spinosaurus." I smile and he looks surprised. I look at his wrist and see the VIP wristbands. I turn and look at Zach's, same thing.

Claire must've given it to them.

"You wanna go to the gyrosphere?" I ask with a large smile, I hear my name. I look over and see Timothy. I look down at Gray, "I'll be right back."

I jog over to him and he smiles, taking me into his arms. I punch him in the arm lightly.

"You jerk, you didn't call me from the hospital!" I tease and he holds up his cast.

"Not like I could pick it up anyway," I laugh and he looks over, "who are they?" I look over at Zach and Gray having an argument. Zach looks up, and stops.

"Oh uh," I look back at him, "their Claire's nephews, the little ones my friend." I smile and Timmy nods.

"Of course," he chuckles, "well, I'll leave you too it," he pulls me in with his available hand and gives me a squeeze.

"Bye Tim." I smile up at him before running back to Gray.

Sucks having to be friends with your ex.
