"We are all going to find our places, it just takes time to get there, be real and enjoy life, this is the only one you get. I'm so honored to be this graduating class's valedictorian and I know great things will come from all of you…well seniors…we've made it!" I stepped back from the microphone and smiled as my classmates threw their graduation caps up into the air, cheering for the end of our time here. It was against the rules to do that, but even I couldn't help but join in.

"Can you believe it? We're done! Like for real!" Jen yelled happily throwing her arm around me later that afternoon. I laughed for her enthusiasm, the most beloved girl in our entire year had to be the happiest I'd met in my entire life time.

"Any job offers?" I asked linking arms with my blonde friend as we walked back to grab our stuff from the dorms.

"A few, but I haven't decided on a place yet, it all depends on pay and how cute my coworkers are." She said winking at me.

I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Obviously, I mean that's all that matters right?"

She nodded, "Damn straight, so what about you little Miss Valedictorian, how many job offers have you received, a bunch I'm sure."

My face fell at that comment. "None." I replied not even trying to keep the hurt out of my voice.

"NONE?! For real? That's not right!" Jen yelled. I smiled; I loved how she was always on my side.

"Well those fuckers suck, we'll just go get really trashed tonight and show them!" She shook her fist defiantly in the air.

I shook my head. "I can't."

"Can't?"

"Can not."

"Whhhhhhyyyy?"

"I'm watching my niece, Logan, tonight."

"OOooooOOOh…yeah that's way more important Auntie Lexi~!"

"I know." I said flatly approaching my dorm building. "The next time I walk out those doors I'm done with college…" I whispered.

"So will everyone else." Jen whispered back. We giggled and gave each other one last good bye hug.

I walked up to my dorm room in time to see my roommate from hell walk out. I forced a smile and wished her good luck. She glared and said she'd never forgive me for taking Jason from her.

Just for some back ground info, that was in junior year and it was only because she wasn't satisfying his needs. And after we broke up he didn't go back to her, not my fault no one likes you Maria!

I rolled my eyes and walked into the room to finish packing and bringing my crap to the car.

I stood in front of my open trunk when my phone started vibrating. I maneuvered the box to be under one arm while I pulled out my phone. "Hello?"

"!!!!"

"…who wants to do what using the what?" I asked totally confused.

"MADARAWANTSTO TAKEOVERTHE WORLDUSINGTHEMOON!!"

"Lolo, baby, slow down." I commanded my distressed niece, setting the box on the edge of my trunk and using my foot to push it in.

I heard her take a deep breath. "Madara wants to take over the world using the moon." She informed me seriously.

"…uh…okay? Sweetie I know you want to tell me about the new chapter but I'll be over toni-"

"It's not the newest chapter." She cut me off.

"But…I didn't know that…why don't I know that?"

"Mom says you have too much work to do to hear me talk about nothing but Shippuden every week. You're almost two months behind. Madara wants to take over the world, it's possible Zetsu is dead, Sakura told Naruto she loved him, he told her to suck it, and Kisame is trying to kill that Bull demon thing." Logan informed me.

"…I feel out of the loop." I muttered closing my trunk and getting into the drivers seat of my car.

"Yeah…well that's what you get for going to college." She told me a trace of hurt in her voice.

"I'm done now Lolo, I'll be able to spend lots of-" I stopped and turned my head when I heard someone tapping on my window. It was the school messenger. "Lolo I have to go I'll see you tonight, bye." I said briskly closing my phone and rolling down the window. "Can I help you?" I asked.

"The principal wants to talk to you Alexis." He said shyly.

"Alright, thanks Jason." I replied awkwardly.

He nodded and stared at me for a moment, before turning and walking away. It was an uncomfortable moment. After I broke up with him; he tried really hard to get back together. I just didn't want him any more.

I sighed and backed the car out of the loading area and onto the main street, leading to the principal's building.

As soon as I arrived I was rushed into Principal Germ's office. He smiled kindly, but there was something bothering him, I noticed the way he only smiled part of the way and seemed to be looking anywhere but my eyes.

"You have done so wonderful here Alexis, top of your class, Valedictorian, I'm so proud to call myself your principal." He paused for a moment smiling uneasily at me.

"Now, I'm sure you've been wondering why you haven't gotten any job offers…that's my fault." He finished quickly.

….fat white man say what now?

"Please don't be angry, I was approached two years ago by a new up and coming company who wanted to secure you as a future employee, I'm so ashamed…there was a large sum of money offered and I took it, promising to ward off all other employers…" He started to rant.

"What kind of company needs a physiologist as an employee?" I asked rather concerned.

"I'm not sure, but I was told to give you this." He said nervously handing me a manila folder.

I started to open it until he smacked my hand. "NO! You can't open it in here, I-I'm not allowed to know anything…they'll find out." He said quietly sounding terrified.

Fat white man be crazy.

Mr. Germ cleared his throat. "Well that's all, you are dismissed, and I'm sorry Alexis…" he said quietly.

I stared agape at him. Was he for real? Oh I was pissed. "So like, I have no choice whether I work for these guys or not?!" I demanded.

Mr. Germ replied, "I-I don't know, they said it would all be in the envelope."

I rolled my eyes. "Thanks a lot ass hole!" I growled storming out of his office slamming the door. I walked briskly to my car and threw the envelope in the passenger seat before peeling out and away from the place I'd spent the past six years.

"You served your purpose well." A man said stepping out from the shadows

"You're not going to hurt her are you? Alexis is too nice for that." Mr. Germ begged quietly.

"You didn't seem to mind when I offered the money."

Mr. Germ swallowed hard.

"Well I suppose now I should take my leave...but first…" The man reached out and took Mr. Gram's face in his hands. "Get me all her files…then delete them from your database, she was never here." He demanded in a soft voice.

Mr. Germ nodded mutely, hypnotized by the man's ringed eyes.

"Very good, pest." The man said pushing Mr. Germ into his file cabinets.
