Controlled

Part 3

      The rest of the day goes per usual although everyone was whispering to each other about who might has protested back. The rest of my classes flyby and the bell finally rings. I get  my bag from my locker and head to the busses. I meet up with carl and lynn and we all board the bus. The bus arrives at our stop and lynn and i both start immediately heading to the spot in the woods. Carl says goodbye and then disappears into his house. Lynn and i both run off into the woods.

       we arrive and i see other people from school waiting and a computer sitting on the stump. There were 7 other people from our school there. " Everybody this is Elora." lynn said catching the whole group's attention. " Hey. im Bug. I am a bisexual Non-Binary." says the first person in the group. " Hi im lily! I am pansexual." says the second person in the woods. " Whats up. Im Cole. I practice Paganism." announced another person. " Heyo im Venus. I have a little brother who asian and im a Aromantic." spoke another. " hellooo im rain and im a ftm trans." said the fifth of the group. " I'm zack. I am a gay atheist." said zack in a quiet voice. " hey im chris. I am just an ally who wants to help." Said the final person standing in the group. " it's nice to meet you all. Im Elora and i think i'm a lesbian." we all start chatting but lynn interrupts us soon after. " this is not all of us. There are people who couldn't make it today. Some more from our school and some from out of state. There are about 350 of us so far. " i stood there amazed by how many people we have gathered. After lynn had showed how we the group communicated the people who were present hung out for a bit before going home. 

        The next day as i arrive to school i hear shouting and a ton of kids standing the the entrance. I  make my way through the crowd to see what's going on. I see the kids from the hangout spot yesterday and more kids holding signs and shouting things that protests against the laws. I look around for lynn and i head over to her. " got any extra signs?" i asked. " we sure do" lynn responded as she handed me a sign that said stop the hate. Around half the school where in the halls shouting and holding up signs. Many kids from the crowd watching where video recording the whole thing. I start to shout and yell with the rest of the group. Teachers started to show up and try to quiet everyone down but it was not working. The principal and two security guards showed up and shut the protest down. Everyone was immediately  sent to the auditorium. 

     " all of you obviously did not learn your lesson. This summer you all we be sent to a school where they will put you all in line. Your parents already have been notified. You will be staying in cabins during that time. Now proceed to class." The whole school was shocked. Some kids were heard shouting things like "fuck you" from the back of the room. 

     Everyone exited the auditorium and proceeded to their regular classes. Lynn carl and i entered the room and sat bye each other. " hey do you guys wanna hang out tomorrow? it's a saturday so we could go to a park or something. " i asked. " sure why not" carl responded. " YES!" lynn said excitedly. The teacher noticed us talking as we chatted about the things we should do tomorrow. " I hear you talking back there. If i catch you again you will have after school detention." he said loudly. " sorry sir." all three of us said. The teacher continues as normal until class ends. During lunch the only thing the students where talking about is that summer school thing that was mentioned earlier.  Some kids were devastated but others were curious or even excited. I was kinds of curious on how they would try and convince a bunch of 15 and 16 year olds to agree with the government's rules. 

   The end of the day came and i said goodbye to my friends and headed on home. When i walked through the door of my house my parents were sitting at the dining room table waiting for me. " i guess you already head what happened this morning at school." i said nervously.  " Elora, you are in big trouble missy."
