Three Years From Now
"Okay class," Miss Valentine started. "Today, I've got a special project for you."
It was a week into the school year, our Anubis students were all sophomores, and they were all pretty excited. Miss Valentine was passing out half pieces of paper to the whole class. An obligatory groan rolled across the room, but it was better than jumping into history already. She got back to the front of the room, and started to explain the project.
"Okay, you're sophomores this year, so I have a special project for you. You are to put on that piece of paper where you want to be when you graduate in three years. No one else will read this, so you are free to put whatever you please here. You have 20 minutes."
Miss Valentine sat back down at her desk, and started a timer. The class got to work.
Name:Patricia Williamson
In three years from now, I really don't know where I'll be, but I really hope that I've got good grades, lots of friends, and that I've got a great boyfriend.
Name: Amber Millington
I hope in three years I've found the perfect foundation to balance my skin tone, and that I have a hot BF, or Alfie. Whichever works.
Name:Fabian Rutter
I three years, I hope I still have Nina. I better. I hope we don't have any more... bad things happen to us. I also definitely hope I get into a good college.
Name: Mara Jeffry
I really don't care what life is like three years from now, as long as I'm happy, and I'd like to have a 4.0 if I can.
Name: Jerome Clark
I really hope I still have Mara when I graduate, and forever, that's honestly true. That, and a good college, of course.
Name:Nina Martin
I hope that our group doesn't come across and more huge problems. Three years isn't that long, but I hope I still have Fabian, no matter what.
Name:Alfie Lewis
I really hope I learn how to tell really funny jokes by the time I graduate, and that I graduate from here- and don't get expelled.
Name: Joy Mercer
By the time I'm reading this in three years, I want to have Fabian figured out. It's so confusing! That, and the whole mystery club he's in, I need to understand that too. I'm pretty confused as is.
Name: Eddie Sweet
I don't really know exactly what I want three years from now, but I hope Patricia and I have become a steady couple, I love her so much. I also know I need to get along with my Dad better, and figure out the osirion thing too. I just really want to be happy and have my life figured out.
The timer went off, and Miss Valentine told everyone to bring their papers to the front of the room. Upon them getting up there, she asked,
"So, did you all really write what you know you want?"
There was no response, just everyone quickly dropping their papers, and running back to their seats, trying to slouch out of their seats. So maybe not everything was said, but some things, and you know what they are, were true.
