Every day since Albert got to his class, Amata would always stare at him every single time. It was obvious that Amata had a thing for Albert. When they were around 15, Albert started to have problems like anger and depression but Amata would always worry and think about Albert. Before long, it was time for the two, along with another sixteen-year old children of the Vault to take the Generalized Occupational test, or the G.O.A.T. for short. Albert woke up and groaned at his dad's reminder of taking the G.O.A.T.
"It's just something we all have to take, Albert." James said while doing a check-up on his son for any "sickness" "I took it, the Overseer took it, and even your friend, Amata, is taking it."How he knew how to convince Albert to do the things he needed to. He found out about Amata has a crush on Albert when he saw Amata keep staring at him for hours. He promised to himself that he wouldn't tell Albert about it until he figures it out. Albert blushed. "Whatever dad." Albert nearly walked out his dad's clinic before spotting a strange picture on his desk. That picture was his mother Catherine. He decides to talk about it later when get back from class. Outside the classroom, Albert spotted three people huddled around Amata. It was those damned stupid Tunnel Snakes that Butch made up."I could show you a real tunnel snake, Amata." Butch said. The anger that Albert felt was as if he was about stick a miniature nuke to blow up inside him, so went up, and confronted Butch and his gang.
"Leave her alone, Butch, nobody here wants to see you getting horny."Butch seemed unmoved to this threat, and no sign of caring."Fuck off, Arlington! Go home and cry about it to your mommy! Oh wait...you can't she's dead!" The three members of the gang started laughing at Butch statement. Albert had enough.
He spun Butch a full 180 degrees, put him in a choke hold and kicked his feet off the ground, gravity pulling Butch into Al's strangulation arm."Listen very carefully bitch,"Albert whispered angrily into Butch's ear." I got a fucking limited to my anger and I don't want you talking to Amata that way and I definitely don't ever want hear about my mother that way or else I'll put your fucking face to the ground, got it?" Butch nodded his head, while trying to pull Albert arm away from his neck."If I hear you do either, I'll fucking kill you! Capiche?" Butch nodded, sweat dripping down his forehead and down his cheeks.
Amata looked on in shock at what she was witnessing. She knew Albert wanted to protect her and defend her but she didn't want it to see him like this.
"Let him go, Albert." Amata told him.
Albert let go of butch, who looked back at the two he just insulted and walked into class at a fast pace, the two of his gang members following suit.
"Albert, I know you care about me and wanted to protect me but if you keep this up, he'll just go to my dad. He can tell him that you attack and send you to jail..."Amata looked down in pain. Albert's anger towards butch quickly diminished as he saw Amata's eyes become teary and shiny.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't worry about that. I won't let it happen."
"Promise?"
"I promise." Albert held Amata for a second, yet a light kiss on her cheek. A second after, Albert pulled away.
"Come on lets get going." As Amata wiped her eyes,took a deep breath, and walked with Albert into class where they both took the G.O.A.T.
