      The Rebel Starr - Sean Collom

      Chapter One

      I’M OLIVER. OLIVER Starr. My mom owns a big tech company called Starr Technologies. It’s kind of a big deal. At least, that’s what people tell me. What do I know, I’m thirteen. But from what people say, there hasn’t been a company as important as Starr Tech since the around 2020, and that was over a hundred years ago!

      Yeah, my life seems like it would be pretty cool, right? You’d think so. Turns out having a super famous mom with a big company isn’t all that great. I don’t remember the last time I spent good quality time with her. On the bright side, I get a lot of time to myself to work on my own projects. I’m an inventor, too. And kind of a genius, but I don’t really like to brag.

      Yes you do.

      Oh, that’s Heather. She’s an AI that I created with all the free time I have. Unfortunately, she’s developed quite the attitude. Pro tip: When you get lonely a lot and create someone to talk to, don’t give them too much personality. And it’s not a great idea to put it into a microchip embedded in your skin. I did that just for giggles, but now I can’t get rid of her without telling my mom I’ve been breaking into her lab at home when she’s at the office. So now I’m stuck with a constant voice inside my head. Like a conscience, but really annoying.

      Anyway, as I was saying, I’m kind of a genius. I like to build things.

      Build things... That’s a funny way to describe blowing things up.

      Hey, I built you didn’t I? You didn’t blow up.

      Yeah, good thing, or you’d be dead.

      You’re not wrong...

      Anyway, I like to build things. Whenever my mom isn’t around, I sneak into her office and mess around with whatever I can find. I programmed a bot to do my online schoolwork for me, so I have the whole day to do whatever I want. Unfortunately, Heather is right about one thing. Most of my inventions don’t make it past the first test. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to clean up the lab so my mom didn’t notice anything. There is one project that worked better than I thought it would, but it was a doozy.

      Chapter Two

      IT WAS MY THIRTEENTH birthday. I jumped out of bed and immediately regretted it. I was only in my boxers and it was December in New York City. The windows were completely frosted over and the heater wasn’t turned up yet. I like it kind of chilly when I sleep so I can bundle up under the covers without getting too hot. Luckily, though, Heather can interface with the house systems.

      Heather, will you turn on the heat in here, I asked.

      The furnace kicked to life as I got dressed in a plain white t-shirt and jeans. I bolted down the stairs to get my annual birthday breakfast cake, which was less of a cake and more of a big pile of donuts with candles in them. It was a tradition my mom started when I was old enough to eat donuts. My socks slipped on the tile floor on my way around the corner into the kitchen and I barely caught myself before face-planting into the clean tile.

      As expected, there were my donuts, sitting on the counter. Unexpectedly, however, they were still in the box. No candles. Nothing. I was crushed. This was the first year I didn’t have my giant pile of donuts waiting for me when I woke up on my birthday.

      My mom was there, though, so I asked her, "Where’s my donut
