Talk of the future

Talk of the future

Apr 16, 2021


After I'm done taking my bath I change into my most comfortable hoodie, turn my pc on and go down to the kitchen to get my snack. 

 Today I am having spicey tacos and avocados with coke, my favorite. I snatch the snack and speed walk back to my room. This indicates to Carmilla or Ana, Ana is the cook whether I want snacks later or not. When I take snacks to my room that means I want snacks later, and when I stay with them it means I may not want snacks later but they still check in on me. 

 When I get to my room I place my snacks n the coffee table and empty my bag on my work desk where my pc is and take out the sign-up sheets. I then repack my bag and scan the papers. At this moment my heart drops... there were so many requirements and rules and links. This was starting to get a little too much for me but I had a mission. So my game plan is to, open browsers to all the links and see what they are about. Step two read the rules while chowing down on some grub. Step three use GrooveNews to help me out.   

 Who am I kidding, I can't do that at least not in that order. First, I check the browsers, and thank God I did cause that's where you actually have to sign up the papers are a prop. 

 I sigh, do I really want this so bad? Is it gonna be worth it? What am I doing? I don't wanna do this anymore, I can't do this alone. At this moment these thoughts broke my confidence and I decided to lay on my bed and just cry myself to sleep. 

 No one wants to be a monster and here I am dedicating my freedom to hurting people's feelings. 

 After I fell asleep I woke up at eight o'clock my food was gone and some fruits were replacing it. I go sit at my desk, pick up an apple, bites it, and opens my P.C. Sigh some-ones gotta do it, smirk. I register my name and position I want, I read the rules and requirements then I contact that I.T guy from earlier to cash in a favor. Can you believe all their numbers are on that app? This is way too easy. 

Ring, ring~

No answer? 

I call again.

Ring, ring~

He picks up the phone and is panting for a few seconds I say nothing and then he says "Yes? Who is this?".

I reply "Hiii, I'm the girl who took you to the infirmary earlier.".

"Ohh.." he said in a disappointed and tired tone and continues to say "What do you want and make it quick." in an agitated and annoyed tone.

I scoff and begin to yell at this ungrateful and mannerless fool "How dare you, speak to me in such a way! I helped you and stood up for you and you refuse to help me too!?".

Unexpectedly he snaps backs "That's all the people who ever help me want! They always want me to do something for them and then toss me aside! I am fed up with constantly having to be nice to others when they are not nice to me too! You! Are! No! Different!".                

  I felt the pain he was feeling so I calmed down and said to him "I am.. okay? But I really need your help I won't betray you or toss you aside I promise. Just help me and I'll return the favor to you.".

He goes silent when I say this to him.

 "What is the favor?" he asks.

"Help me understand how this school works so that I can win the student council elections," I reply.

Sigh "Give me a position on the council and then I'll help you." he says.

I then ask "Why do you want a position on the council?". 

He doesn't answer me instead he says "Do you want my help or not?". 

Sigh "Yes...the position is yours, now will you listen to what I have to say?"

"Give me a sec I'll facetime you." he hangs up after saying this. So I turn my PC's facetime on and waits for him to call. Moments later he calls, I answer and the first thing he says is in a serious concerned yet pitiful tone "This isn't going to be easy. You have to put your all into this. If I tell you to jump you ask me how high because Your opponent won't go down easy or play nice. She will end you without batting an eyelash and take you out if you give her the chance. Sigh, Promise me you're strong enough...please." 

All this time he's giving me this pep talk I'm nodding and secretly taking mental notes. I reply to his end statement with "Honestly I don't know if I am but I do know I will be so put your trust in me and I promise I'll not let you down.

 He sighs and smiles then agrees to help me. He and I then talk for at least four hours about different things. Battle tactics, A strategy, what we are going to base our election on, how the students in the school work, and many other things. 

When finished and he says good-bye I look into the mirror and I feel my stomach sink...

Why am I doing this? God, what am I even doing?. I then burst into tears and after that cry, I felt refreshed ready to go again.

 Tomorrow would mark the beginning of the end for this school. Tomorrow's gonna be a good day, Amen.  Smirks into the mirror and then dramatically walks away and lays on the bed.
