The class was dismissed just as the bell rang and everyone shuffled from the room. Viviana sat in her desk with her legs crossed and staring out of the window almost wistfully. A stick of Pocky hung from between her lips at a strange angle. A train could be heard in the distance and the smoke rose into the air like a flag it wore proudly. Vivi rested her chin in her palm and sighed around the pocky sitting between her teeth. Nothing ever happens here. This has to be the most boring city ever. We're just now transitioning and less than half of the city is all high tech. Vivi stretched her arms then stood, making sure her skirt wasn't riding up, and picked her bag up from the floor. "I'm going home now. See you tomorrow Mr. T." He nodded without looking up from his short stack of tests. Vivian walked out into the hallway and made her way to the front of the school. Her messenger bag held her skirt to her thigh as she descended, avoiding any direct contact.
Did you hear about the boy who got hit by a car?
I did! Didn't he die?
No, but I heard he's going to be out for the rest of the year.
Who hasn't been hit by a car? She walked around the corner and went down the stairs. There isn't anything any of them talk about that I don't already know. She pushed her way through a mob gathered right in front of the double doors leading to the outside world. Vivi didn't stop to apologize for shoving her elbow into whoever's side or for pushing what's-her-name into what's-his-face. They were in the way, so she moved them. She burst through the doors and ran out into the courtyard. She ran pass the other girls talking in giddy spurts and transforming from their passive school girl facade into the stereotypical "bad girls." She ran through the school gates, across the street and past the park where the kindergarten children played. Her bag bumped heavily against her thigh as she sprinted with the wind pulling at her short brown ponytail.
Her legs finally willed her to stop just as she reached the train tracks. Vivi fell to her knees in the gravel and raised her head as her chest rose and fell with each intake of charcoal scented air. The flag could still be seen faintly rising to the afternoon sun. Vivi walked the tracks for an hour or so before returning to the city streets where the night creatures were preparing for their masquerades. She took a different street than usual since the hustle and bustle gave her a headache what with all the smog. This is the most boring city I've ever seen. Nothing interesting ever happens here. Nothing worth repeating anyway. She rounded a corner to where the old houses still stood waiting for that faithful day when they would be torn down for the new technology. There was someone up ahead standing on the sidewalk. They were facing the houses, just staring as if watching something. Vivi slowed her pace in hopes that they would move before she got there. They walked past the fence and...vanished. She paused for a moment before running up to the opening in the fence. Only an empty lot stared back at her. Did I mention nothing ever happens here?
