Quiet the Mind

It's All A Lie

It's All A Lie

Jul 24, 2018

Though I couldn't see the audience, I knew they would be able to see me soon. How can I best make this look like the failure that it is? I decided the most vulnerable position for me would be to sit against the wall and hold my legs in my arms. I was able to hear the speech on a speaker in my "cell" and I honestly wish I wasn't able, the speech was just plain sad when he practiced it and I'm sure it was going to be even worse when he actually had an audience that wasn't just me laughing at him. Quiet the Mind, how do I explain it? I guess I could start by saying that it's fake, I've spent the last 3 years either trying to escape or kicking Isaac's ass at just about every video game ever created. He knew it was fake, as did I. There was no point in trying to make it real. We enjoyed watching movies and reading together, or I guess you could say he did and I just put up with it. I could hear when he started walking across the stage and I really just wanted to think about something that would be far less boring than listening to him talk nonsense for the next 5 minutes. Why not relive the part of his speech that was actually true? My arrest. It's actually a pretty fun story and I'm fairly proud of it. I went out in a blaze of glory, right in front of the whole school. I loved seeing the horrified look on my friends' faces when they finally realized what I really was. I also enjoyed the attention I was getting, I mean, this doesn't happen every day so I definitely made the most of it while I had it. It started just like any other day, meeting up with my friends in the cafeteria before class started. We talked about the events coming up like tests and essays from different classes. One of us always, without fail, realized we had forgotten to do some kind of assignment and panicked. Call me cocky, but I'd say I was a master at hiding my real self in front of them. When classes started is when things just got boring, but just about any student will understand that. By the time second period rolled around I was tempted to excuse myself to the bathroom and just drive home. It's not like I'm going to last long enough to have an actual future. I found it almost funny that the police arrived only 10 minutes later, I knew it was over so I thought I might as well go down with a fight. They didn't send more than 5 officers and I was quite offended they didn't think more of me, but here's what pissed me off the most: No women officers! I mean, come on! I thought we had moved past the 1900's a long time ago, this was just an outrage. One of them came into our classroom and told us to stay in our seats while they looked for who they needed, I just smiled. When they finally realized I was who they were looking for, I stood up and just walked up to them. "Flies are where men are most vulnerable." #ClueReference. They just looked at me confused and I kneed them right in the balls! Score, wouldn't you say? I left the room and just ran down the hall before a felt a sharp pain on my back then my legs gave way, making me crash to the ground. They'd tased me, how rude. The next thing I remembered was walking down the halls with my hands cuffed behind my back and just about every student in the school staring at me. About 2 weeks later I met Isaac and hated him right away, he was quite weak and frail. I don't know how he got custody of me, but I know why he wanted me in the first place. He needed an example for his scam, apparently he needed the money for his daughter who was suffering from cancer. Either way, I'm going to be stuck with him until someone exposes him. Lucky me.

This is the revised version of chapter two. I wasn't very happy with how it turned out so I decided to redo the whole thing. I like this one way better and I think it will be easier to follow. Next chapter will hopefully be in about 2 days if I can figure out what the hell to do next. Anyway, I hope you enjoy and I want to thank you for your support. Be sure to check out Two Choices by Pan the Trash Can and my other stories Miss Alice and Ida Nakamura! Thank you!
