《Two Wastes of Space- J.C》First Day at Roundview

(𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙)
Effy and I waited outside and watched everyone around us chatting about the day ahead of them.
"Bonkers! What's surf and turf mean, Eff?" Our friend, Pandora, said.
Effy and I met Panda at school the previous year, and she was completely clueless. But hey, someone's got to take her under their wing, right?
"Sex," Effy said.
"We're going to have a Whizzer time at this college!" Panda said. Her goal was to get good at having sex so she'd become popular. But neither of us was listening to her that much, and I don't know who would want to do that with her anyway.
"Right, you hate her," Effy said out of the blue.
"Who do I hate, Eff?" Panda said.
"Tell you later," she got up towards the entrance doors.
"Alright. Let's get this party started," I said, taking Effy's hand.
"Do you want a lollipop?"
"No," Effy said.
"Brie?"
"What flavor?"
"Root beer."
"No thanks," I said. Root beer lollipops were disgusting.
We went inside and sat on the bleachers. As one of the directors started speaking, there was audible farting in the crowd.
But it was just Doug. Sid told me all about the guy, and how he was a total nut job. But he could also be nice at times. The director went on to discuss actions that were not permitted on campus. And if they were to happen, one would face expulsion.
Then, this blonde woman who was supposed to be the head of communications told us to raise our hands when we were called.
"Emily Fitch," I looked over to see a girl who was a twin. She seemed to be the shier one. I saw both the twins a few minutes ago when Panda was talking about surf and turf.

"Katie Fitch," That must be the one with the boyfriend who was signing those two girls' tits, something I also saw before we went inside.
"Jonah Jeremiah Jones?"
"JJ! Present!" I looked over to see the kid from this morning, the one that had a child-like face.
"James Cook?"
"Yo!" Ketchup guy.
"Brianna Jenkins?" I raised my hand.
"Elizabeth Stonem," Effy raised her hand.
We waited around for attendance to be over when we heard someone speak up. I looked over, it was the blonde girl, Naomi. Everyone laughed when Naomi's name got called, but I don't know why. Maybe it was because she had the same name as Naomi Campbell, the supermodel.
"The boy next to me is trying to show me his tattoo, and not in a nice way."
"Why don't you show us all your pathetic tattoo?" the director said.
"I don't think you'd like it," Cook laughed.
Doug brought the megaphone up to his mouth "You have an instruction! Show her the tattoo."
Cook then pulled his pants down.
Holy shit. This guy really got his cock out during orientation.
We all started laughing. I mean, it was pretty funny. Even Effy was laughing, and she never laughs or shows emotion.
Finally, after a lot of screaming, attendance was over.
After I found my locker, I walked towards my first class. As I was walking, I saw Freddie, Cook, and JJ standing in front of a locker. On the inside, it said, "Sid Jenkins".
"Someone's left all their shit in here," Cook said.
"Ah, you've found my brother's locker. Could you hand me the beanie please?" I said. Freddie tossed me his black beanie, and I stuffed it in my bag.
"Oh man, your brother's a fucking god!" Cook pulled out one of his Asian Freaky Fun magazines.

"Oh god," I groaned. It seemed to freak JJ out too.
I'm sad to say I have walked in on Sid wanking off to those magazines a couple of times. I saw Cook carrying a list of what looked like all the things that are forbidden on campus if I remembered correctly.
"What's that? The list, I mean," I said.
"Oh, you know Effy Stonem, right?" Freddie said.
"Um, yea. She's my best friend, why?"
"Well, she made the list, and she says the first one to break all the rules on here gets to know her better," Freddie said. I scoffed.
"Aha. Well, good luck with that," I chuckled as I walked off to class.
The day went by very fast, and the last class of the day was philosophy. Kieran, the teacher, told us to say our names and one fact about ourselves. Kieran said he hated being a fucking teacher. When I asked him why he just waved his hand at me.
JJ said a fact about himself that for the life of me made no sense at all.
Then Katie stood up, "I'm Katie, and I've never not had a boyfriend since I was 7."
"Congrats, you?"
"I'm Emily, and I've never had a boyfriend."
"Shit happens, you?"
Naomi stood up, "I'm Naomi. I hate injustice, and people tell lies about me."
Effy then stood up, "I'm Effy, and I think my mom's having an affair."
She had told me about her inference beforehand, and honestly, I wouldn't know. Anthea always seemed a little off to me anyway.
I then stood up, "I'm Brianna, and I've been playing tennis for 10 years."
I loved tennis. I tried to teach Effy how to play, but she wasn't into it.
Then Freddie stood up, "I'm Freddie, and I met a girl I liked today. She's beautiful," he said. Kieran didn't seem to care that much, though. I bet Freddie was talking about Effy, who then raised her hand.
"Kieran? I'm feeling a bit shit. I might have to go to the nurse's office."
"Alright then. Go," Kieran said. After Effy left, Cook asked to go to the nurse's office as well. His balls were allegedly aching.
"Bugger off, then."
Oh, Effy. Effy, Effy, Effy.
I couldn't help but feel bad for Freddie because he looked uneasy the moment Cook got up and left. I didn't feel too good either.

The Undead Revolution
This was my first attempt at writing a story, in hiatus indefinitely. This story follows Silvy, half-elf, a rare race despised by both humans and elves. Having never met her father, the first years of her life were spent together with her mother, who had to leave her native village because of the blasphemy she had committed by giving birth to Silvy. At the age of eight, Silvy became an orphan and was left to fend for herself. Her mother had died of illness, Silvy’s life turning upside down: the child went from living in a modest but cozy home with poor but daily meals to live outside the walls in the slums, where crime was commonplace and food was scarce. Luck had yet to abandon her completely though, because a group of orphans like Silvy decided to help, integrating her into their group and teaching the tricks of the trade; that is, stealing and swindling. But fate had not yet finished playing with her. Kidnapped and frightened, her life will turn upside down again when she awakens as undead, but still able to think clearly.

A Long Refrain
September, in the Continuate: For most students living in the Third Division, the month's arrival usually means the start of a new school year. But not so for one particular freshman, whose first month at college seems to never end—literally. Set during the 20th year of the nation's Rectification Era, A Long Refrain follows Melody Quick’s attempts to escape from the month-long time loop she's found herself trapped in. Her journey, which starts in the capital city of Somnhaven, will take her across the vast expanse of land once known as Circadia, whose forgotten histories, ancient secrets and eccentric inhabitants could hold the key to discovering the true nature of the loop and the role she herself plays within it. However, the more she learns, the more cruel truths she must face: Will she really be able to handle the awful reality behind the loop, and all that it entails? And will those very same answers she's found be enough to not only break her free from the loop, but to also protect the people she holds dear? (A-and from what, exactly ...?)

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
