You slump down in a seat in the cafeteria, waiting for the first bell to sound so you can start another boring day of school. With nothing better to do, you open the newspaper you brought from home, and are greeted to a sports headline. After reading through the paper for a few minutes, you find articles about a serial killer, an arsonist, and a women in need of expensive surgery winning the lottery. You think to yourself, 'There's a shit load of important news in this paper, and they opened with a stupid sports article?' Disgusted with the paper, you fold it up and put it away.
Looking around for someone to talk to, you find the only people in the cafeteria are jocks, cheerleaders, stoners, and you. You don't fit any type, you're just , you dress plainly, you keep to yourself most of the time, you're not in a club, you're middle class, and your grades are decent. That last one surprises everybody, since they all know you're the smartest person in school, faculty included, but you just don't care about school, so you don't try at all. You don't want to spend time with the stoners, since it would only get you branded by the faculty here, the jocks are assholes of the highest level, and the cheerleaders bring out that part of the jocks in any guy who isn't a jock, hot, or rich even tries talking to them.
With nothing to do in school and fifteen minutes to the first bell, you decide to head to McDonald's to get a coffee and Sausage McMuffin. On the way, you realize your life's in a rut: you wake up at 6:00, shit, shower, and shave from 6:10 to 6:30, get dressed and pack your stuff for school from 6:30 to 6:50, jerk from 6:50 to 7:00, leave for school at 7:00, arrive at 7:30, wait for the 7:45 bell in the cafeteria looking for something to do, go through a boring day of school from 7:50 to 2:20, go home, arrive home at 2:50, half-ass your homework until 4:00, and watch television and play games until about midnight. And all day everyday, you bitch about the crappy place we live called Earth and the different problems with it. Like how the corrupt officials who run this world run it so that the rich who pay their bills get richer with money from everyone else, or how the best fucks either cost money or are too stuck up for decent people.
You always tried to correct these problems by writing stories, but no one reads anything that directly tackles this stuff these days, only erotica, manga, and sports articles. If people want to get a message across, they either have to put it in one of those stories or on a comedy show where actors make fun of it and toss around decent ideas that are just laughed off. Getting sick of going nowhere with your stories and the boredom that is your life, you wish for something that could either make an impact on the world and cure your boredom.
As you reach the McDonald's, you notice a black notebook at the entrance to an alley and think a student from your school, the only school in the area, might have dropped it. |
