The Membranes
Though your spirit has now passed,
your memory shall forever last.
Chapter 1: Remembering Rejection
Our story begins in front of an acadamy called "The Big, Gigantic College Academy Thing of Science and Health". There are a lot of students outside of the building. Some freshmen, some returning, and some just registering to complete their academic career, to persue a true one. Yes, it is another Fall and a new school year is just begining.
Allen Membrane is one of the returning seniors. He steps on the stairs of the building, just thinking of all of the years that had passed before. He remembered many things. All of his friends, his teachers, his projects, his ideas, his screw ups, and, last of all, his girlfriend....that just broke up with him before summer had come. That thought lingered in his mind much longer than all the other ones. He couldn't help but drop a little tear, feeling sorry for himself. That night was the worst "screw up" that he ever crossed. He remembered it perfectly....
****************
It is a cool April night. It is quite cloudy, and a girl with blue hair and green eyes approches Allen, sitting on a bench in the park.
"Mel," he said, "You wanted to talk to me in our secret place? Well, here I AM! What's up?"
"Al, I know that we said that we were going to be together....forever, but I can't do that,"
"What are you saying? Is it because I had to work late on our 2-year anniversery? I said I was sorry about that! We almost had the cure for the cold, until the damn project blew up in our face," he let out a little chuckle. "Don't you remember? I made it up to you the following day! That was some trip to the Science Museum, huh?"
"Um... yeah. Thats....part of the reason. But not all of it. You see, that night I kind of decided that I need to see other people. I mean, Allen, you are always so busy with your science stuff, and sometimes it really just...well, franky, bores me...."
"Do you mean that-"
"Well, I felt really dumb just being a Fashion major. I mean, we are practically worlds apart. We couldn't really think that this would go on and on till we were married, did you? When we had our first date, I never thought it would last this long. I actually started thinking of this after our 1-year anniversery. Maybe we should just-"
"So....you're saying you want to break up?" he said, his voice practically breaking.
"I guess... maybe one day we'll come together agai-"
"No, no. I understand completly," he shed a tear and there was a moment of silence. "JUST SAY IT! JUST RIP MY HEART! Just break me...." his eyes narrowed dramaticlly with these words.
"If you really want me to, OK! I also was going to mention that I'm leaving to Paris to study Advanced Fashion, and we'll probably never ever see each other again! Ok, BYE!"
She ran off, rather cheerfully, leaving him alone in the dark, cold night. Just as he bent his head with his frustration growing, a rain cloud apeared almost like it was on cue. It seemed only right. It was the perfect ending, to the worst night.
*****************
That summer wasn't too hot either. He hated it. He spent it in his apartment's boiler room. It was the only place his land lord let him conduct expiriments. The whole season was just horrible. He couldn't stand it. He didn't contact anybody unless it was to get food. He hardly even saw his roomate. He was always out, anyway, though. To top it off, he never figured out his formula. The formula that he worked on that entire summer, and not even a glimmer of progression. He only hoped that this fall wouldn't be such a failure.
*****************
Allen finally wakes up from his flashback. As he snaps back to reality, he looks around at the new students registering for their seinor years. Preferbly the females. A little smile came to his face. Maybe this year wouldn't be as bad as he thought. He walks over to the line and begins to flirt with some of the new girls.
[A/N: I know the flashback thing was REALLY corny and clique, but that seemed to be the only thing that would work. If you don't like it, well then Rubber Piggies for you! XP]
