"Have you ever talk about this with someone?", I said.
"No, it's only you and me. I talk to my parents about this but they didn't believe me so, yeah.", Sam replied.
"I want to go home again. To Earth", I said.
"Me too. But, what could we do?", he said.
I kept thinking what else could we do to return home. Nothing came into my mind.
I told him: " I'll do some research and then I'll tell you what we could do."

So after a long time in school I went home and the first I did was do some research.
Apparently there was this scientist named Dr. Frank Hoover who made this teletransportation back to Earth in the years we've been here. He has the same theory as I do; the Earth is not to far away. I check the article and his lab and house is suspended and now is owned by the government, its currently under surveillance. Frank was force to jail for 5 years.

Suddenly my mom calls me for dinner, I didn't realize what time it was. I hide the info from the phone projector and went downstairs.
She made chicken with alfredo sauce, mashed potatoes and vegetables. She cooks really good!
After I finish eating I went straight upstairs and laid on my bed.
Then I remember I had to tell Sam about the info I've found. I was so sleepy after the food and don't even want to get out of my bed.

I call Sam to check if he's awake. Oh, wait! That's right Sam never sleeps. Well sort of, he sleeps around 3am but its not even 11pm. So I hung up.

My parents were already sleeping and I didn't want to ask, they always says yes and besides its the safest district around. I went to the garage and get my longboard. By the way it floats too and I made it myself with the new technology, you'll never see something not floating in terms of transportation. I wonder how they do with the bicycles, but anybody got time to think about that.
Anyways, I arrive to Sam's house. His parents greeted me when I entered.
I imagine them saying in their minds what the heck I was doing in their house at that time. But I wasn't a bother to them.

"So. What you got?", Sam said to me paying attention.
I put the phone projector and him about Dr. Hoover.
"With this information you're saying theres a hope that we could return to what it was before?", Sam said.
"Yes", I replied.
"Actually I was thinking that we could go to Earth."
"What?! No! First of all, how? Second, this is one of the most secure district around, and third we're 16", he said raising his voice.
"16, so what? I know is the most secure district around, everybody knows that, and theres a way check this out...", I replied. I search for the cousin of Hoover, Alexander, he was a scientist too.

"Look, before this evacuation thing 3 years before his cousin invented this virtual world which is basically returning to past but virtualized and it could help us return the nation back to Earth like a start up or a sort of reset, its located at Southampton. He used to live in London, England. In his residence you can find more about the invention. Nobody knows about him since.", I said.
"So what do you expect me to do?", he said.
"I say that we should go to Earth.", I replied.
"Fine. When?", Sam said.
"I think Saturday night will be perfect.", I said.
"Alright. I'll see you tomorrow at school. Good night!", Sam said.
