Algo Mejor Que Hacer.

Start from the beginning
                                        

Before I have any more time to even question my current circumstances, I'm dragged out of the fishnet, and am forced up by the arm. We start walking and I'm just doing everything in my power to get this stupid machine to let my arm go. But you know, metal vs human never went well. While this robot is practically dragging me, I see other teachers! Oh thank god.

"So, robots are taking over our yeah-yeah-yeah jobs?" asks one of the teachers.

"Taking us away from the children?" Asks another.

"Affirmative." Answers the robot. Thank god the other teachers are also worried.

"Hooray!!" Yell the teachers. ..Nevermind!

"Remain here until further notice." The robot tells us.

"Wait, what if we have to go to the yeah-yeah-yeah bathroom?" asks the gym teacher.

"What is a bathroom?" The robot replies with another question.

"You know it's where you- Nah, I guess you don't. Run for it!" He yells as he takes off. I follow behind him. As we're both running I hear the robots behind us.

"Stop, staff members!"

"Let them go. It is a plot point."

I run after him as well.

"You need to yeah-yeah-yeah go too?" He asks in a hurry?
"What? No-"

"Oh, well see you yeah-yeah-yeah later-" He runs directly into the bathroom. God these teachers are dumb. I beeline it to the office. The receptionist looks at me and goes to say something that sounds like "He's busy" but I'm already opening the door. I see,  what I like to call him, Melvinborg, a little shocked I entered his office with such force.

"..How are you even here?!"

"Yeah I got a better question, what the hell is going on?!"

"I figured you'd be the one to cause some sort of issue. Just, go back to the room, and take your break, hm? You'll still be getting paid." He spoke to me, walking around his desk, trying to usher me off his office but I stayed put.

"Now hold on- you're telling me you made some robots to take over our job?!"

"..Yes. Now-"
"Are you out of your mind?!" He sighed, getting closer to me, still trying to get me to leave but I stood my ground. I will not be walked over and pushed aside by this egotistical brainiac nerd.

"Did you even think how this could- ..could- uhm.." I noticed myself stuttering when he was very close to me now. Looking down upon me, with a brow raised. I backed up a little, trying to get some space between us.

"..This could seriously cause some damage! How did you even build these things?"

"Well, I am a scientist, so, we tend to figure things out." He had a smirk, but his brows were furrowed, like the top half of his face was angry.

"Well can you, I don't know, stop this?"

"I could."

There was a long pause between us, of him just staring at me, and me staring right back. What am I doing?? He could disintegrate me right now if he wanted to. The logical thing to do would be to drop it, and do as I'm tol

"Then why don't you." Damn it. This is why I got into so many fights as a teen.

"Because I run this school." He leaned down to get to my eye level. Our faces very close now.

"Well maybe you shouldn't." I muttered under my breath.

"What was that?" He spoke to me through gritted teeth. Okay. I need to get out of here now.

"Ah- Uh- Nothing. I'm just gonna-" He glared at me. His robot eye that was yellow, now red. Oh my god I need to learn when to shut my mouth. I quickly left, and decided to look for something better to do. Or, as my mom would tell me, 'Déjame solo y ve a buscar algo mejor que hacer.' (heheh cuarteto de nos reference for you Spanish TETOCU fans, I love y'all)

Ay, I shouldn't think about her right now though. I quickly begin to check if the coast is clear, and once I realize it is, I run to the room all the teachers are being kept in. I try to open the door but it practically feels sealed shut. I try to break the door down, but nothing's budging. Damn it. Maybe I can try dismantling a robot at least. I try to run before I feel something pull me back, kinda hard too. When I realize it's a hand, I whip around to see,

Principal Sneedly.

God I practically feel my heart sink.

"And what do you think you're doing?"

"Uhm, ..trying to join the other teacherrsss...?"

"..Right." He let go of my shirt, and I fully turn around. We stare at each other before he just sighs.

"If you don't want to be fired, just come to my office and I don't know, be quiet and wait there so I can keep an eye on you."

"I'm not some kid that needs to be watched over."

"No, but you're acting like it." He pushed me a little, forcing me to walk to his office. I wave to the receptionist, but he pushes me inside, saying something to her I couldn't hear. He shut the door behind us and sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Just- don't make any sound, movements, or do anything."

"...So sit still and do absolutely nothing the whole time?"

"You just broke rule #1."

"You can't be serious."

"I'm always serious, it physically hurts me to joke."

"..Wow."

"Still breaking the first rule." I scoff and just sit down. Glancing at the clock, It's only 10. Oh my god I'm gonna be in here for forever.



I wake up from the bell ringing. When did I even fall asleep?

"I hope you don't fall asleep on the job like that."

Being around this man makes me so unbelievably mad it's insane, it should be illegal how mad being around him makes me.

"I fell asleep? When?"

"I'd say, I don't know, maybee.. the first five minutes being here?"

Jesus, I guess that says a lot about being near him. Before I can even fully wake up, his robot arm extends and pushes me out of the room again, slamming it behind me. ...I'm just gonna go home and sleep. I wave to the receptionist again this time, and dig through my lint filled pockets to find my car keys. When I do I walk out into the parking lot, just taking a deep breath of fresh air. I'm so unbelievably shocked, and confused, and angry, and everything all at once all at the same time.

I get in my car and just drive home, what did I even sign up for?



AHHHHH YAYYYYYYY I DID ITTTT

I'm tired.

This took me all day no joke.

Anyway, In case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
