Chapter 25/The end of term

Start from the beginning
                                    

"four," we all said. The bid board was going crazy. 1750's biding was furious.

"three" we held our fingers cross.

"Come on 904," I said then suddenly wished I hadn't

Joe suddenly had 401 Rockwood has his highest bidder.

Joe's bid was then upped by #904. He was getting more than almost every boy in the room.

Suddenly I saw my self-going to Rockwood for 421 bitcoins. Joe too.

I felt like my friend was slipping away.

"Bid you fucker," shouted Kayla loudly. People were cheering future owners on.

"two,"

Suddenly both Joe, and I were being outbid by Rockwood. 492 bitcoins

"Fuck you! BID!" shouted Kayla.

"One"

"Happy new year" someone shouted. The bids were frozen. The auction was over. Everyone let up a great cheer. I didn't think this was what being sold to a new master would be like. It felt like a success. It kind of felt good like I was wanted enough for someone to fight over. Kayla seemed to be in tears. I wasn't sure if she had been sold. She walked off and Joe began to follow.

"Leave me alone!" Kayla shouted. Joe held me. He knew that tone of voice it wasn't a mess with me tone..

"Give her a minute. She needs to calm down," said Joe to me. 

There was a huge buzz about the place like a combined 4D and U2 gig had just ended. Everyone was discussing   Who their new owner was and how much they had been bid for..

0325 who I knew had been called Maria Shr.. something. came up excited. "I've had been sold to a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101," she said, "They have an external layer of living tissue. I'm thrilled." 

"It's still slavery," Joe said. 

0325's smile dropped. "Easy for you to say Mr double 36EE for 500 bitcoins. Soon as he finds out the truth. Well...  You'll be back." she said tilting her head. Then walking off shoulders set in resentment. 

"They look human but have very detailed files. Astla-blister baby," I said to her back as she walked away. It was the closest to an insult the machines would let us use on each other. The only insult the machines really permitted was 'your servicing lacks consistency and sincerity' which was pretty lame. 

Then 1777 came up with an odd look on his face "I think I've been sold to an iPhone factory in China. Apparently, all the iPhones spontaneously linked together to form a group super consciousness. It went mad and thinks it's a god. It's bought me and five others to join a massive congregation of people forced to worship it."       

I pursed my lips "I'm a god worship me. Yeah, that sounds like a hive mind of iPhones to me. Good luck with that." 

1777 continued "You hear 8922 got sold for 150 credits to a machine called Daneel Olivaw? They say robots who pretend to be human make the worst master, "  I looked over to 8922. She was a model 127/c like me. We both looked a bit like Alice Eve and we both found the sight of each other bleak.  "You know 4173? He got sold to a robot group called the Stepford wives. Apparently, they are secretly replacing their robot husbands with more subservient human ones. Not bad but only 73 bitcoins."  

"Evil and  cheap," I said "Not a good combination." 

"On the wealthy front, 1220 I hear got sold to a harem for a Decepticon called Megatron," Joe said.
