BEYOND PERFECT - CHAPTER 14
Sophie’s pov
Today is an off day for all students cause there’s an annual festival the school is holding in the garden. I wanted to go but after what happened yesterday with Sophia I was pretty tired. I stayed in. I feel bad for Alex and Maya, Alex asked me to be his date to the dance and I turned him down. Same with Maya.
I’ve been scrolling through sociality since morning. If you are wondering sociality is the only social media we have in the school. Basically we all have special phones that can only work inside the school and no where else. We also have one social media app that works like Tik Tok, Facebook and WhatsApp combined. If you don’t get it yet we are basically cut off from the world outside this school, so as to not make that obvious they trying to recreate the outdoor world to keep us in happy oblivion.
As I was busy thinking about the school’s mechanism I noticed some one enter my room, when I looked up I saw a familiar face but unexpected figure. It was George. I haven’t seen him since the incident with Luka.
George!!. What are you doing here.
Well I came to see you.
My body tensed up a bit and I stood up from my bed.
George, I already told you I like someone else and not you.
And I told you, you are mine
I don’t remember consenting to that
You don’t need to, if I say you’re mine then you’re mine
You are crazy, get out of here before I call…..
Call who. He said laughing like a maniac, it’s just you and me here gi……
Ahhhhh
George fell down with a thud and behind him was Max.
She was gonna call for me.
I’m pretty sure he’s unconscious and can’t hear you.
Ohh well. I’ll be taking him with me. It’s been long since I had fun
He’s all yours, just don’t k!ll anyone in the school premises.
No premises missy.
And with that Max piggyback George out of my room. I was to scared to stay alone and all my friends except (Max if I can get her that)all are at the festival. Alice and Will went together. Alex went alone, Maya went alone.
Ella is locked in her room trying to be the next scientific genius (I honestly think she’s a genius already). So I’m currently left with Luka only. I don’t know what he’s doing and I don’t wanna disturb anybody but i’m to horrified to stay alone.
Knock knock. Can I come in please?
Sure
I opened the door and Luka was lying idly on his bed, his curl dark hair was extra curly and messy. What’s wrong with me. Why am I swooning over him
Sophie is there anything I can do for you?
I’m sorry if I’ll be a burden but i’m scared. He looked puzzled so I went on and told him about George.
That sound terrible. You can stay till everyone’s back.
. thank you.
It’s my pleasure. Do you read?
Occasionally.
Ohhh. What’s your favorite genre
I like dystopian and Utopian. I know it’s wierd that I like two contrasting genres. But I feel like dystopian books help us see what is actually going on in our present world that we fail to accept. And up Utopian books show us that nothing can be perfect. Anybody or system that is without flaw is probably built on lies.
Wow, I must say I’m impressed. You seem like a literacy genius.
I’m not that smart. So what’s your favorite genres
Personally I love science fictions and horror.
Why?
Basically because, science fictions shows us the lengths we can reach with science and horror movies let me dive into. A world of gore.
Your taste is quite unique.
We kept on taking about movies, books, etc…
