She giggles as she sits back in her chair.
"So, you're new to this, huh?"
"Yeah, it's my first day-erm... Night?"
She continues giggling.
"Well, I'm here if you ever need any assistance or need to file a report. So, did you need something?"
She seems very kind with a delicate and soft voice. She has long wavy black hair with bangs and has to be about five feet, five inches tall. She's very pretty, especially with her hazel eyes. Her suit seems to be modified to have a bit of red and with a skirt attached. It has black flower designs on the suit and she has big gothic boots. She has a red bow in her hair and a very gentle face structure.
She's right across from my elevator meaning I'll probably see her a lot so, I should get her name.
"Uhm, where is a restroom?"
"Oh, down this hall, fourth right, and you'll see it down that hallway. Anything else?"
Just ask it. Just ask it!
It's no big deal, it's just being polite. It doesn't have to be weird.
"Uhm, yeah! What's, uh, what's your name?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm H0117. Call for me, or anyone on my team, if you ever need any assistance with anything."
Wow... I can't tell if she was shutting me down or just answering with what she thought I wanted. Maybe it's just too soon.
"Uhh okay, thanks!"
We wave each other goodbye, she shows a big smile and wishes me a great day. She was just doing her job I guess... I kind of hope she isn't being nice only because she has to or anything. Anyway, I really can't hold it in much longer.
Down this hallway...
One...
Two...
Three...
Four! The fourth right...
It's another hallway... Aha, yeah! Straight ahead to the left is the guy's restroom. Finally!
I splash my face with water and look in the mirror. I wonder how many times I've done this. I do this because it makes me feel refreshed. It's like a mini-meditation where I can just relax for a small moment and reflect on myself and everything that's happened.
I think about everything that had happened since yesterday morning. I was almost buried alive! All because I acted a kiss with Lizzie. I stood up to Zander for Lizzie, and I hate Lizzie! What he was saying and whatever he was planning, nobody deserves that kind of treatment... Not even Lizzie.
Nobody knows what Zander's up to. It was just Ryker and Johnny... Hmm. Maybe I can get them to help me tell Lizzie. When they were burying me, they had a lot of hesitation and didn't seem to want to do such a thing.
Ugh, why am I so hated there? Zander was actually trying to kill me! You'd think maybe one person would be different and actually try to be nice to me... Not one person gives two fucks. However, during my time here so far, I've met some decent people, people want to talk to me and I'm not outcasted. I feel like I can make friends for once.
Friends... Wow, that sounds fantastic! Maybe this whole scary military won't be so bad. I might have some worth!
A purpose!
I head out of the restroom and straight to H0117, I believe it was...
"Hey, so I'm new, as you know, and this whole fucking situation has got me all freaked out and confused, so will you go out and show me around and make sense of what's happening?!"
She looks at me really confused. Maybe I came off too strong.
She points to the metal plate...
...
I feel my face get red with embarrassment as she just laughs... I wave my right arm over the metal and immediately hear laughter in my ears from her.
"I'm sorry, whew, I'm sorry... Is there an issue sir?"
"I uh."
Damn. I used all my courage and momentum for that. Now, I've completely lost it.
"I need someone to show me around and just answer questions I have about all of this."
"Well, I'd recommend your partner to show you around, knowing who your partner is. But I could, maybe, call a higher ran-"
"No! No, I'm asking You, personally, to show me. Maybe after you get off your shift or whatever it is?"
"Oh... I uhh... Wow, ha... I'm not supposed to answer something like that while I'm working, But..."
She bites her lips nervously and thinks...
"Yeah, I'd like to go on a date with you! I get off at twelve... Oh here! Have this, So you can tell the time here while time's frozen."
She hands me this bland black wristband and puts it on my right arm. She taps it twice, fast, and a hologram of numbers pops up showing 10:50.
Wait!
Did she say...
Date!?
