Anonymous Action Call

Joao

Didn't like it and redid it, but I always keep what I wrote. So you can read this or just skip to the actual first chapter.

...

2020 didn't start well. So it seemed like no surprise that this summer was more a revolution than a real relaxing first college summer.

Anyway it definitely was better than to hang around at home and watching Avatar.... nvm that rewatching Avatar with bowl of cereals did sounded way better. But considering what was going on staying home, would be wrong. Uncle Iroh would be ashamed if he were real and here.

So standing with my friends and our signs seemed like a way better way to honor all the good childhood education of TV shows and books. Honestly it surprises oneself that so many are wondering on why we were out on the streets.

It's like they don't understand. Which I mean is probably the truth. I wonder though if it was the same when Nazi Germany was becoming a thing, did. the People honestly not see how wrong things were.

Suddenly I was brought out of thought when someone dragged me aside, before he then proceeded to hold onto me. As I looked around hell was still going along. And the guy just saved me from a rubber bullet.

My feet started running on there own as his did next to me. As I looked up to him, I was meet with a black helmet, way more up than I figured. Well at least somebody came prepared, I thought since the dude was covered in armor. Smart.

We started running down the streets. A crowd of scared people around us running as well. As the police were following us and shooting. Tear gas was seemingly everywhere it was hard to breath.

Suddenly the dude stopped. And for a second so did I. Why? I was in full panic mood. The dude picked up a tear gas can out of the air as it was flying forward us, before throwing it back at them.

The starts to get more empty. I should run as well, I thought.

„Thanks", I said to the man before wanting to run to the left, though he grabbed my collar and dragged me to the right.

I just followed him. Feeling my legs burning. My entire body felt like I was in a life or dead situation and considering what was going on, I was.

A few blocks away he picked out a key and opened a door, dragging me into it as well.

„Thanks", I said „Again"

„No problem", he answered, before closing the door behind us „be careful next time. You can't just not pay attention in such a situation."

I nooded. We were in a small floor entrance. There was a mirror on the left wall and a staircase straight ahead.

„They be searching for us", he said, while removing his helmet „we will stay here for the night. Come on I show you were you can sleep."

I was shocked. That dude looked so... Man he gave up such Prince Zuko vibes idk.

We walked up the stairs to a loft like living area. With computers on the right and a bed on four bricks on the left. The walls had a dark grey tone and over the computer where some newspaper.

„So uhm... are you working for like Anonymous or something", I asked while looking at the newspaper. The windows where covered with fabric and before them were done houseplants.

As he didn't answered I turned around. He looked at me seriously. Maybe I should stop taking some things so easy.

„What would it matter? It doesn't change anything. I am just gonna work for achieving a better future, just like you do right", he answered. I looked a little surprised. So he did work for them, nobody else would answer like that.

„Yes", is all I replied. After all who wouldn't. It was wrong to do nothing when you are seeing injustice.

„Anyway you can sleep here with me", he said, pointing to the bed „I am gonna take a shower", he than walked back down the stairs. But not before laughing a little over my red face.

I was blushing. Stupid gay panic.

I decided to get rid of my docs and my pants and lay them next to my sign. Then I sat onto the bed.

Man why did he had to be so hot. Don't think about that. Wait I can think about whoever want to be hot.

„So... are you from DC yourself", he just appeared out of nowhere. Okay or maybe I was just to deep into thoughts again.

I was just able to nod, as my head grow more and more red. He let himself fall on the bed in total exhaustion.

I laid down next to him, as he was pointing to the empty space beside him.

„So tell me", he said looking directly into my eyes „what kind of person are you."

„Haha one that wears socks on bed. Or are you talking about wether I put the milk or cereal first", I wanted to slap myself. Stupid gay ass. Stop being so.

He laughed a little.

„While I like my cereal with water so", I looked at him in complete shock and disgust. He started laughing.

„I was joking. I just wanted to see you relax. I am not a monster my what are you thinking", he still laughed halfway trough though. I snorted while shaking my head.

„You can't say something like that. Not even a joke", I said before laying on my back and yawning.

„Whatever", I could hear the smile in his word that he was trying to condone „Good night."

The light went off.

„Good Night", I moved to the side and fell quickly a sleep.
