Evony heard the bell ring and got up from her seat on the bench in the courtyard. Today was not going to be an easy day, she was extraordinarily tired. Work last night was just short of murder, and her behind and hands hurt. One too many friendly men, and one too many temper outbursts. But, she had paid the rest of her bills for the month, so, she wasn't too worried. She continued into the school, and took up her seat in class. There was some bustle going around amongst the girls in class about some new, hot guy who had started today.<br/><br/>In a city with a population in excess of 24 million, you would think that new people would get cut some slack. High school was still high school. The vultures would still ascend to assess: physical capability, ability in the sack, hot/not, jock/prep, etc.... The teacher continued droning on and on about early American history, Vietnam, Korea, the Gulf War- all things that lead up to the state of the nation today. All cause and effect. History was a mild interest of hers, but she didn't care how to fix it. Population control, getting rid of useless eaters in ALL walks of life; rich and poor, black, white, green, yellow, blue pink- Evony was a Malthusian at heart. She started penning down a list of what she needed to do today in her notebook after she got out of school, and the bell rang.<br/><br/>She walked out into the hall and everyone had their eyes on this kid down the hall. She may not participate in the ogling actively, but, she didn't mind going in and taking a peek, to assess the competition herself. Just as she was taking a peek, some beefy muscle-head came driving past her, and started yelling obscenities at the new kid. "Oh well," she thought to herself, "Welcome to PS 187, amigo." She walked into her Calculus class, and thought nothing more of it.
