"Do you have the notes?" A girl of sixteen asked opening her bedroom door.
"Of course I do." A rather… nerdy looking boy of the same age answered pushing up his glasses.
"You may enter." She moved from the door to reveal piles of paper strewn about. "Don't freak out Gabriel, I have it all in a very organized system."
"I know you well enough that no one but understands this 'organized system' but you, Anna." Gabriel smiled shyly making his way to her desk.
"How are Andrew and Gabrielle?" Gabriel questioned opening to an empty chart.
"Dead." Anna murmured walking to the farm that once held them. "Even God's most perfected creature dies without a head. I wonder if one day a species will come about that can reattach limbs or grow them back."
"Isn't evolution against Catholic beliefs?" Gabriel asked amused by Anna's ramblings.
"You should see my cousin's side of the family, fake Catholics. Aunt Angie's making sure her kids grow up in a nice bowl of corruption. There are some real snobs on that side of the family."
"What's considered a worse sin? Believing in evolution or corrupting young minds?"
"You're missing the point Mr. Gray. What sin is worse than thinking that God is uncreative in creating?"
"The pope might have you burned at the stake Ms. Viti." Gabriel chuckled getting a pillow thrown at him.
"Shall we get to work or are you going to keep interrogating me?"
"They both sound so fun."
"That's a lot of moxie you have. Viti is an Italian name and I do have relatives in high places." Anna laughed but stopped abruptly. "This is unbelievable."
"What is it?" Gabriel asked rushing Anna's side.
"Either Andrew and Gabrielle had children that I didn't see or they went through evolution." Anna said in awe as two bugs scurried about the farm looking for food.
"That's impossible. We've only had them for a short period of time and they've never showed anything that wasn't normal."
"Don't be so ignorant. Cockroaches have been around long enough to have millions of species. There is nothing normal about this specie."
"We have to report this to our class." Gabriel said frantically with Anna shaking her head.
"If you haven't forgotten we're in a class full of the conceited ones. Besides no one will believe what they don't see with their own eyes."
"I'm tired of us dumbing down to please our class mates. We've discovered something… special and we have to keep our mouths shut."
"I know Gabe. It's been this way since junior high remember? It's not as if you can just magically change the world. It takes a lot of people or the president." Anna rolled her eyes and continued working.
"I'll just become president and you'll be first lady. We'll save the world together." He gushed causing Anna's cheeks to turn a light shade of pink.
"Then we'll make an alliance with the cockroaches. In exchange for protection from nuclear explosions we'll let them dwell in the homes of the unworthy also known as the conceited ones. Plus you'll be the hottest president ever." Anna sighed lying back on her bed.
"It'll be perfect. No power will be greater than mine." Gabriel laughed maniacally, tickling Anna.
"There's one problem with your idea." Anna pointed out when Gabriel's fingers left her stomach.
"And what is that Miss. Viti?" Gabriel inquired hovering above her face.
Anna slid his glasses off, tossing them to her desk. "What makes you think I'll be your first lady?"
"Haven't you always been?" Gabriel smirked darkly leaning closer to Anna until there lips met.
