《Unprecedented》Chapter 12
Advertisement
So true to my word, I kept close to Hailey to 'spy' on her. I haven't really found out much expect that she has a pet lizard and a pet cat, her favorite color is grey and she loves chocolate lattes.
Evan told me that her father was having a party a few days prior to prom and I'm suppose to be a spy at the party and find the missing items that they stolen and anything suspicious.
But today we were at the library studying, or at least that's what we should have been doing but was gossiping instead. She was re-calling all her glamorous Halloween parties her father has thrown her back in Miami. Then she started re-calling funny memories from her childhood in Boston with Toni. Then she turns to me.
"You know, I actually had a crush on him, but he was too blind to noticed." She flushed awkwardly. "And the day before I moved away I confessed to him, I knew he didn't felt the same so I didn't exactly bother to wait to get a response and I left."
I flushed a bright red too because I felt awkward. And I wasn't sure if I'm all that happy to find out that she liked him. But it was years ago and by living proof he's over it. So what's there to worry about? She probably noticed that I didn't know how to respond, so she quickly apologizes.
"I'm sorry," She nervously chuckled. "That probably made you uncomfortable. I shouldn't have said that."
I brushed her off. "It was years ago. I understand." She chuckled lightly. "I hope so, though it is years ago."
She continues, "But as I could see he's very happy with you."
"That's sweet of you." I smiled a little. "But he has never told me about this before." She waved this off. "Oh, don't sweat it, it's not anything to talk about really."

Then she swiftly changes the topic. "So anyways, how are you loving Boston? You've been here for like what 3 years now?"
I nodded in agreement. "Yeah. I use to live in California. My grandmother got ill and we had to move here to take care of her." I added, " plus my mom got promoted to work here so I sorta had no choice." I laughed. But her expression was grave. "I'm sorry about your grandmother, though. "
"It's okay. She died a few months ago."
"Well that doesn't make it any better." She laughed. "And what does your father do?"
I tensed up a little. "Oh um," I stuttered. "He d-died when I was 6 years old." She frowned a little. "Aw, that's sad."
"Don't sweat it. It's fine." I said brushing her off kindly. "I got use to it, you know?" She nods in agreement. "Completely understand."
After that we sat in silence studying.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
