John and Cameron stepped out of the School bus to the front grass of the courtyard of their new high school the'd both be attending to together.
John disliked the idea of highschool but his mother insisted that if he was to be the saviour of mankind he atlest have a good eduaction and interlect. along with that he'd have Cameron along with him he'd have to look after but then again it could also be the other way around he thought..
'Ok now blend in', Cameron repeated with the same emotionless look on her face.
'Yeah, I mean don't seem like a freak. You know what I mean, right? John asked.
'Freak. Weirdo, Kook. Oddball. Crackpot. Strange duck. Queer potato. Nut. I've been reading the dictionary' she quickly answered in the slow tone.
'Fuck it' John had the anoyed look on his face but also the one that just plain read 'this is going to be interestng'.
…
Like many newcomers into highschool John was confused and lost with ways of finding were he was or were his next class was, it didn't help eitha when most people that john asked for directions had all been assholes and either just pointed him into the direction of the girls bathroom or janitors closet.
'John Connor'
'here' John had eventually found his first class it was Chemistry a subject he was familiar with, atlest they still call the role at the start John thought to himself so many things seemed to different and confusing to John in such a simple school, from the cloths the students wore, the way they spoke and the simple technology the school possed that his previous school didn't. John observed much of his new suroundings.
John could hear the teachers voice as she went through the routine roll call til she came to the end of the roll.
'Cheri Westin'
'here' the girl said in a quite voice, John noticed it was the girl sitting next to him she was blonde, hazel eyes, probely tall and attractive john thought. But she also at the same time had a depressed look on her face one that reminded him too well of Cameron.
He wanted to say something to her just a simple hi, but he had no idea what this girl was like specialy when she seemed to always have a sour look on her face. John didn't want to think about already being brushed off by a girl on his first day back at school.
Halfway through the class the teacher had instructed them to partner up and do and some simple Chemical reactions with the bunsen burners.
John felt akward asking to someone to partner him considering he knew no one, but he saw Cheri still next to him alone setting up the bunsen burner, here goes nothin John said to himself.
'Um hey you mind showing me how to do all this, im new here so I really
got not idea'
John was already nervous.
The girl hesitated for a moment until 'ok sure' in her quite modless voice.
They both worked on the chemical substances given to them, Cheri seemed to know what she was doing so John was mostly left with being a spectactor.
She rarely talked so John thought of making quick conversation to eaise things going. Technically John hasn't spoken to a girl for about 7 to 8 years because of his resent time travel experience running around the freeway nakad with the last girl he spoke to was actually a Machine who john thought he actually had a chance with til he found out what she was.
' you seem to know what your doing, you been at this school long?
'not to long' she answerd with one short sentence
'really, what school you go to before?
' its eitha shut up and get me the sodium chloride or leave me be' she said hastly looking directly at him with a glowing stare, John didn't dare say anything else and went to get the substances she was after.
…
'I see your making friends already John'
'what? Cameron was then suddely walking next to him
'you'v been watching me' he asked
'of course'
'I transferred into all your classes to watch over you recently your chemistry' Cameroon answerd as they walked.
'do you really have to watch me fail in making friends huh? Asked John now in a joyless mood to Cameron
'friends are distractions they will only be in the way of your future goals' she asserted
'well what about my friends in the future huh?
'as in other leaders and liutenants yes, but every now and then they die…'
she said coldly
'gee that's a real motivation' John mumbled.
'motivation, the act of a cheerleader wearing provoctive cloathing while stretching and dancering infront of men playing sports hoping to see up their short skirts when they already know whats under their, as I observed eairer as I transferred into your pysical education class'
'umm yeh along the lines of that' John answerd akwardly.
This machine's got a long way to go John thought as they walked, he laughed at himself about him and cameron. On the thought of how a girl can just randomly start flirting with him at school asking to hang out with him after school. Things were just to good to be true, still John liked the free company of her atlest he didn't look to much of a loner walking round the school with a pretty girl he had to refer as his sister, he liked her company none the less.
…
John and Cameron noticed a large gathering crowd all noticing a silhouette like painting on a door and wall of two shadowed figures kissing it was obvious it depicted a man and a younger girl because of the height difference in the painting it depicted.
Students were giggling, laughing, whispering, shocked or just wale by.
John noticed one student take notice of the picture she was blonde and a cheerleader she looked obvisiouly distrought and ran off after just a few seconds of noticing the painting on the wall.
'best you stay not involved John' Cameron told john
John didn't say anything he turned to face Cameron but she was gone,
So much for watching over me he thought and proseeded to walk to his next class, English he thought it was.
'Whats everyone crowded around again' John asked to Cameron
'thers a girl on the roof, preparing to jump' she answerd
they are outside this time in one of the school yards, the girl on the roof had attracted a following many were gatherd below in shoch of what they were thinking of what she was gonna do, it was the same girl John saw being truamatized be the paintings on the walls.
' im goin up ther' John quickly insisted to Cameron.
'no, John we cant draw any attention to you' she countered
'but I cant just stand here and watch her die', 'you go up there then'
'no' Cameron said again
'any risk of exposure to any of us can lead Cromartie to track and find us, putting more risk in our misson of stoping Skynet'
right after Cameron finished with that the girl jumped, she was on top of on of the school highiest buildings atlest maybe 6 to 7 stories high. Her body hit the ground with a loud thump everyone could here. The whole crowd were in shock of what just happened.
' I could have saved her!' John protested to Cameron
' I woudnt of let you John, you shoudnt waste your time on other peoples misfortunes'
'you say it as if nothin happened, a girl just killed herself!' John furious of himself and Cameron
'how am I suppose to be a hero and saviour of mankind when I cant do anything to help people'
' In time you will learn to be a great leader and help many people John but for now we must keep a low profile' Cameron assured him.
John just shrugged her off,
John knew he could atlest help te girl off the roof he didn't even know her but he knew he could try, he really wanted to make a difference in his life but he knows all to well he has to wait until he can make that difference it was a simple conception he was taught all his life by his mother the legendarly Sarah Connor as they referred in the future. Useless was how john felt in his life from now til his adolesent teens, he was suppose to be some great hero and leader when right now he could just compare himself to being dead already.
He was furious with himself.
…
' well come on then lets go home the bus is here, make sure you sit next to me I don't want any guys hitting on you on the ride home' but John just really wanted to be with her on the way home.
'hitting on me? I am programed to eliminate all acts of violence against me it shall be no problem killing them cameron said.
'well lest its good I know you wont get raped ' John said estaticly who noticed that day the large amount of guys eyeing her everytime they wer in the school hallway together, of course he had nothing to worry about but he still felt uncormtable of guys looking at Cameron in that way even if she was still just a machine.
…
'How was school? Sarah asked obviously asking John
Cameron answerd first before john mentioned anything about what they witnessed today
'It was tight.'
