Chapter 4
-Remote, dear, why don't you quide Liy through the school? At least you don't have to tell the principal about it.-Announcer says jokingly.
Remote gets up from her seat and walks to the door.
-So, you wanna come?-she says while opening the door.
-Uh, yeah, sure!-I walk through the door-I mean, what other thing could I do? Nothing really.-she closes the door and looks me dead in the eyes. Straight face, no emotions whatsoever.
-Uhh, did I say something wrong? Sorry if I'm being annoying. It's just, it's not that easy for me to make friends.
We stand there in silence for a moment.
-Sorry for that-she says-I'm not the best at communicating. I don't have much friends actually. Let's do this again.-she offers her hand-Hi, my name is Remote, and I'm your guide today, but classmate from tomorrow-I giggle, and I see her smiling a bit-I live in this town and sometimes the principal gets on my nerves. Even tho I don't express it, I have a lot of emotions, just like humans. I hope we can be friends.
-Well, I'm Liy, and I came from really far away-she sits next to me on the bench-this is actually the 16th high school I attend. My life was troubled since I was 2-I feel tears in my eyes-because my shithead father left me and mom and later she started drinking and eveything went downhill and-she hands me a handkerchief.
-You're crying. Take this.-I smile at her and wipe away my tears-You're so nice.
-That's what friends do.
We sit in silence, smiling at each other. I feel my face getting a tad bit warmer, maybe the sudden change of emotions.
-Let's start the tour-she stands up-don't want to waste the day. If you want someone to talk to tho, I'm here for you-she hands me a piece of paper with her jumber written on it-call me when you want-she looks in the distance.
We start walking. She tells me all about the school, like a pro top class guide. She's so smart and has memory of a supercomputer. I mean, she is one. A pretty computer. But I'm not in love with her, or anything.
She's my first friend here. And I hope not the last.
