I rolled my eyes at Rebecca, shaking my head at her. "If we just get split up, play it cool, man, we'll find our ways back," I told her, acting as if it was no big deal. We'd be able to figure It out, at least I could. "You just need to use your knowledge to your advantage, don't say shit that will make people hate you, don't do modern shit, and I really ought to destroy this," I added, pulling my cell phone out of my jeans pocket.
I was planning on ditching that, along with my 'futuristic' currency, but I figured it would be best to destroy that all, rather than leave it in a Goodwill dressing room to be found. I was a bit smarter than that, at least!
As we came up to some garbage can, I stopped and opened it. "Alright, goodbye future," I said, tossing my phone to the ground first. I smashed it with my heel, shattering the screen and surely killing the battery.
"What if someone finds the remains?" Rebecca asked, still hinting to me with her panic about every little thing. It would be fine! I just had to convince her of that...and prove it.
"They won't know What the hell it is, it'll be fine," I said, shaking my head at her. "You worry too much, man, just lay back and chill!"
"You don't worry enough!" She retorted, throwing her hands in the air. "So many things could go wrong! Don't you care! Doesn't it worry you!"
"Not nearly to the extent that it worries you," I told her, chuckling as I started dragging her into some diner. What? I was hungry!
The reaction I got from Rebecca was priceless. The look she gave me with her eyes said something along the lines of 'Are you insane, I'll kill you!' But what she said was along the lines of worry and total paranoia. She whisper-shouted a mini lecture to me, about how we had no money and could easily blow our cover. To which I easily responded with 'It will be fine,' as usual.
I dragged her to the counter of the diner, pulling her onto a stool beside me. "Before we head back, I'm starved," I told her, looking up at a menu that was posted on the wall. I didn't get much time to look when Rebecca yanked me back up.
"We need to get back to the school in time!" she exclaimed, dragging me out the door the same way I had dragged her in. "You can eat later, we just need to go," she said, starting in the opposite direction of the school.
"You know the building is that way, right?" I asked, smirking as she continued on the road. I remembered it almost perfectly and had no idea why she wasn't listening to me. I repeated myself, laughing when she looked up with a questioning expression, blew it off, and said 'Pft, I knew that.'
It was at that second that I knew it would be best if we stuck around together for awhile. But who knew if that was able to happen! Not a damn chance! We needed to split up, to cover more ground. If we were going to get any where or meet anyone, we both had to go for it.
