Chapter 3 world politics
As we walked to class Sarah tried to get me to tell her what was wrong
"nothing" I said trying to convince her
"Helen" she replied "i may have only known you for a week bur it is easy to tell that something is bothering you"
"it's nothing" I replied "just... the twins conversation reminded me of how I want things for my future that my parents wont like"
"are you gay" she said softly
"no" I said quickly that would be the worst thing worst than me wanting to be a scientist or an actor it's the one thing I could never let myself be. "i just don't want to go into politics like they want me too"
"oh" she said blushing slightly "it's just it wouldn't mater if you were you know I don't have a problem with it"
"neither do i" I said truthfully I didn't I just knew that it wasn't a possibility for me
we went into class and waited for our teacher Mr Jamison to arrive.
I was drawn out of my brooding by the arrival of Mr Jamison. Mr Jamison is one of the strangest teachers I have ever met for a start he actually seems to enjoy teaching and he enjoys his subject to the point that he sometimes is almost literally bouncing for joy. "so girls" Mr Jamison said in his scarily upbeat voice "today we are going to be discussing monarchy's, can any of you tell me what a monarchy is." I tried to stifle my groan if I had to take politics couldn't we at least cover a system that I hadn't been forced to experience first hand my entire life I know exactly what a monarchy is it is a system in which I am forced to rule a country not to mention get married and produce heirs just because of who my parents are. I didn't really pay much attention for the rest of class I couldn't help thinking about how unfair it was even on the other side of the planet I still couldn't escape all what I was.
