The Mad Scientist (Book 1)

Chapter 3: Interesting (Knox's PoV)

There I stood, just sitting at a table, eating some nasty shit as what they liked to call food. I called it nasty shit though, because that was what it was after all. I was not going to be nice to what it was, as I knew that I was not the only one that hated the food that was in the city.
Even the natural meat, and the eggs that we had, just tasted shitty. No one ever got any sun light, so the vegetables, and all the other stuff, also tasted like absolute shit. Every thing in this city was shit, and I hated living here, as I wish that I could at least have seen what the real world had been like, none the less.
The pictures simply only made me despise the place that I lived in right now, even more. I just wanted to go to the gates, and I wanted to sneak out, but I also knew that I was not stupid at all, what so ever. I knew that if I got out in to the real world, I would either die to radioactive waste, or I would be found, and I would be killed right away, none the less.
I kind of stomped my feet in to the ground at the thought of that, all at the exact same time too, as I was tempted to be an even bigger ass hole, and just toss the left over remains of my food on to the side walk. That would be stupid of me though, as I knew that I would get in a lot of trouble if I did that. I might even have to spend a few days in prison for littering.
I knew that they were serious about that shit, as it seemed like I was not able to do all too much. I just wanted to go and be free, and see what the world was really like up there, but I knew that I never would. I knew that I was going to be for ever stuck in this place, with no such sort of way out what so ever, none the less.
I kind of grunted at all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm, and as cool as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time. This place that I lived at, I just hated it the more and more that I thought about it. There was no such sort of free will, and it felt like every single day was the same.
Perhaps it would just be best for me to not think on any of it. I was sure that it would be a good idea, but it always seemed to come to mind. I let out quite a bit of a heavy sigh to my self, as I then all of the sudden began to start to groan all of the sudden, all at the exact same time as well.
I then began to start to lift my self up from off of the chair that I was sitting on for quite a bit of some time. I took the remains of the food that were with me, feeling a little bit bad due to the fact that we always had a food shortage in the city. I then tossed it in to the trash can that was near by, as I saw a few people give me some ugly looks when they saw what it was that I had done, none the less.
It was better than littering though, which I could say for a fact. I kind of just rolled my eyes back towards those people, and I then went back over to the chair that I had been sitting on long before now. I began to start to speak to my self a little bit quietly on the way there, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
"Yeah... I hate you all too..." I kind of whispered to my self, as I did not have the balls to say it out loud, all at the exact same time too. I knew that I would not get a very nice response either, all at the exact same time too. I really did not want to get in to some sort of fight with people what so ever, none the less.
I knew that I was not the biggest, and I was not the strongest guy in the world what so ever. I felt like it was just better to mock people, that did not have a single clue as to just what it was that I was getting at. That was the only thing that seemed to make me smile, and seemed to make me laugh, as to the fact that they did not have a single clue as to just what it was that I was even getting at in the very first place any ways, none the less.
I kind of felt like a little bit of a bad person, as to the fact that I even thought that way, but I did not care. My parents didn't give 2 shits about me, so why should I give 2 shits about any one else that was around me? That seemed to make the most sense to me, if I was not going to lie to my self.
I did not care if I did not have any sort of friends what so ever. All I cared about was my self, as much as it might sound greedy. I just once again did not care how ever, none the less. For all that I cared, every one around me could just all go jump off a cliff.
We didn't have cliffs here how ever, as it was all just a flat city. Insanely boring if I was not going to lie to my self once again. I was not all too sure how every one else was not miserable living in this place such as I was. They were all stupid... That was what it was.
I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, as I then all of the sudden got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts that I had in fact even been thinking on long before now, all at the exact same time too. I then all of the sudden began to start to hear the loud voice of some old lady, as she began to start to yell to some one, or some thing.
Perhaps it was me, though it did not make sense as to just why it would be, none the less. I was not doing any thing besides sitting on this chair, and staring out in to nothingness. The lady seemed to be too far away to be talking to me as well, so I felt like I was fine, and I needed to calm my self down, once again.
I kind of stared down for just a little bit longer, until I then began to start to look over in the direction that the old lady was yelling from, all at the exact same time too. I saw that it was the old lady that always drove the carriage around the town, all at the exact same time too. She acted like she was bigger and better than every one else, as it seemed like she was yelling to get every one's attention on her.
I kind of sniffed a little bit annoyed to my self, as I then began to start to go right on ahead, and I began to start to listen as to just what it was that the old lady even had to yell to every one in the very first place any ways, none the less, at that.
"Hey kid! Get the hell out of the road, people are trying to go to places here! You aren't the only person alive!" She yelled, to who I would have to guess was some specific person. Though, she did not need to get every single persons attention on to her to say what ever it was that she had to say.
I kind of just began to start to shake my head a bit to my self, as I then began to start to turn my head over to just who it was that the old lady was even talking about right at this very moment in time any ways. I looked over to see that it was a young man, all at the exact same time too. I was about to defend him to my self, all at the exact same time as well, until I then began to start to realize that the young man was Cole, all at the exact same time too.
Speaking of big and strong guys, Cole was one of those guys, all at the exact same time as well. As I knew that I really did not like the guy all too much what so ever. He had never done any thing to me of course. I just did not like him, as it seemed like he only went to the gym, just to act like he was cooler, and he was better than every one else was.
Perhaps it was best to not judge a book by its cover in this case, but still. I knew that I did not know a single thing about the guy what so ever, but he still kind of pissed me off either way. I squinted my eyes at him, all at the exact same time too, as he then began to start to speak back to the old lady, all at the exact same time as well.
How ever, his voice was too quiet, as it was clear that he was not going to be like the old lady, and he was not going to try to get the attention of every one on to him, all at the exact same time too, never the less. That was relieving at the very least, as it was clear that he knew that he was the one that was in the wrong right now. It was clear that based off of the look that I could see from not all too far away, that he was embarrassed about it all.
I kind of just began to start breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as I then saw the old lady roll her eyes back at Cole, as to just what ever it was that he had in fact said back to her. Not all too much longer after all of that, that was when I then all of the sudden began to start to see the carriage begin to start to drive off, just as it had been doing long before now.
I kind of squinted my eyes over at Cole for quite a bit of some time, as in the end, I then all of the sudden did in fact begin to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I then began to start to speak quite a bit quietly to my self, all at the exact same time too. It was just as it was that I had in fact done just a few moments before last, all at the exact same time as well.
"God... That dude is such a dumb ass..." I said to my self, all at once, as I then all of the sudden watched the guy begin to start to walk back on to the side walk, all at the exact same time as well. As I stood there, and I stared for just a little bit longer, that was when I then all of the sudden saw him start to head over to some girls that were not all too far away from him.
It looked like he was about to go on over ahead, and flirt with them, all at the exact same time too. It was like the typical gym freak, thinking that every single girl that he came across was in to him, all at the exact same time as well, none the less. The first thing that I saw him do, was go right on ahead, and begin to start to speak to him, at least, he opened his mouth like he was, though he was far too far away for me to actually hear what it was that he was even saying right now.
I kind of began to start to look at the girls that he was in fact talking to, all at the exact same time too. The first one that I saw was Amelia, who seemed like she was the girl that all of the guys in the city were in to, all at the exact same time as well. That was not the case for me what so ever, how ever, as I was not attracted to her what so ever.
The one girl that I was in fact kind of attracted to how ever, just so happened to be her best friend. That was Lenore of course, as to no such sort of surprise, the both of them seemed to never be apart from one another. Lenore was standing right beside Amelia, all at the exact same time too, as I was starting to get worried that Cole was in fact flirting with her, all at the exact same time as well.
I was starting to get a little bit jealous of it all of the sudden, if I was in fact not going to lie to my self either. I knew that me and Lenore did not really have all too much in common what so ever, all at the exact same time as well. How ever, I knew that it some times felt like they were right with the old saying, on of course, opposites attract.
Though, I was not all too sure if she was attracted to me. I was sure that she was like every one else in the city, and they all felt like I was an ass hole that had no friends, deservingly so, none the less, at that. I kind of just began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts that I had in fact even been thinking on long before now.
I knew that there was nothing that I could do to stop what ever it was that was about to happen what so ever, but I still felt like I wanted to hear as to just what it was that Cole even was saying to her, all at the exact same time as well, none the less. I could tell that they were in fact having quite a bit of a conversation with one another right now, and I quickly began to start to head across the street, to see as to just what it was that was even going on right now, all at the exact same time too, none the less.
Just as soon as it was that I had made it to the other side of the road, and just as soon as it was that it had in fact felt like I had in fact made it to where it was that they were at, that was when I then all of the sudden began to start to see Cole walking away. It was clear that he had already said what it was that he had needed to say. Based off of the looks that the girls had on their faces, it was kind of blank of course, I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should really be thinking right now, never the less.
I kind of just did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, as I watched Cole walk off in to the distance. I still felt like I could not help but to be a little bit upset, and a little bit jealous about Lenore how ever, none the less. Though, if I was going to be for real with my self, he was more than likely crushing on Amelia, like every one else did.
I did my best to try to keep my self calm, as I felt like I still could not help but to be a little bit worried, all at the exact same time too. I kind of just began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts.
I kind of felt like I was stalking them a bit, if I was not going to lie to my self either, but I could not help but to get my attention on Lenore, as she then all of the sudden began to start to speak to her best friend, all at the exact same time as well. I was certainly glad that neither of them were looking at me what so ever right now, all at the exact same time as well. I breathed in a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at once, as I did my best to try to keep my self calm, none the less.
I just stared at the both of the girls for just a little bit longer, until in the end, I then eventually began to start to hear the voice of Lenore continue to speak, once again. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at once, as I then began to start to listen as to just what it was that she even had to say to Amelia in the very first place any ways, at that, never the less.
"Well... I mean... If you want to do that, than I suppose that you are right..." Lenore said to her friend. I breathed in quite a bit of a heavy sigh to my self, all at once, as I was quite a bit surprised as to just what it was that she had said. Was she perhaps, talking about some sort of threesome with Cole? I certainly hoped that it was not the case what so ever, if I was not going to lie to my self either.
I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could for just a few moments, as I kind of dipped my head a little bit low to the ground all of the sudden. Of course it would be the good looking guy that all of the girls would want to go after. It really felt like they were all the same, as it felt like Cole did not have any thing good about his personality, he just was strong, and he was good looking.
Though, then again, I should not be one to talk, as I did not have all too good of a personality my self, as I was just kind of an ass hole each and every single person it felt like I was to meet, all at the exact same time too. I felt like I could not help it, as I simply just did not care. Perhaps that was in fact what it was that was wrong with me after all, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I was even thinking about right at this very moment in time too, once again.
What was I thinking, to think that I had any sort of chance with a girl like Lenore. She would hate me if she knew me any better, and I was sure she already knew me well enough to know that I had no friends. There was a good reason for that as well, none the less. I was not going to lie to my self, that no one wanted to be around a guy like me... All I brought was negative energy to the table.
I suppose I could not blame her, as I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time too. I then all of the sudden got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts that I had in fact even been thinking on long before now, all at the exact same time as well. I then all of the sudden began to start to lift my head up all of the sudden.
Of course, that was due to the fact that I had hear Amelia talking to her best friend, all at the exact same time too. Though, sadly, I was too far away to be able to hear as to just what it was that Amelia had even said back to Lenore in the very first place any ways, all at the exact same time too. I kind of just stared at the both of them for quite a bit of some time, as I then all of the sudden began to start to see Amelia turn her head over to me.
I saw her begin to start to walk over to me all of the sudden, as I was in fact quite a bit lost as to just what it was that she was even doing right now. My eyes went wide, as I had quite a bit of a look of some shock on my face all of the sudden, as that was of course due to the fact that I was not all too sure as to just what it was that she was even doing right now, and just why it was that she was now all of the sudden coming over to me, in my direction.
I kind of gulped, as I saw Amelia then all of the sudden look at me right in to my eyes. Was she coming over to me? Had they noticed that I was in fact spying on their conversation like a little creep? I hoped that it was not the case, but it also would make sense as well, if I was not going to lie to my self either. Of course, that was due to the fact that I was in fact spying on their conversation after all, all at the exact same time too, none the less.
I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, as I saw that Amelia did in fact start to tilt her head a bit towards me, as soon as she did in fact draw closer to me, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time, once again. I tried to act like I was not paying attention to her or Lenore what so ever, as I just stared past her, all at the exact same time as well.
Amelia just continued to walk past me, as I then all of the sudden began to start to hear her mutter some thing under her breath, all at the exact same time as well, that I did in fact manage to catch as to just what it was that she had to say in the very first place any ways. I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that she had even had to say to her self in the very first place any ways, once again, like a little creep, none the less.
"You weird ass dude Knox..." She said to her self, as it was meant towards me of course, as she had in fact said my name, all at the exact same time too. I looked back at her one last time, as I thought that she might have said it loud enough on purpose, to try to get my attention on to her, all at the exact same time too, none the less.
How ever, as I did in fact look back at her, once again, I then all of the sudden began to start to notice, all at the exact same time too, that she now was in fact all of the sudden beginning to start to continue to head off in what ever direction that she was even trying to head on over to in the very first place any ways, once again.
I kind of let out quite a bit of a heavy sigh to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time too, as I got my eyes, and I got my attention on just what it was that felt like was in fact more important to me right now, right in front of me, all at the exact same time too.
Of course, that was the fact that Lenore was still standing there right now, all at the exact same time too, as she was in fact looking at some thing in her hand right now, all at the exact same time as well, none the less. As she continued to stare at it for just a little bit longer, I then all of the sudden began to see her put it down on a near by table, all at the exact same time too. She then all of the sudden began to start walking in the opposite direction that Amelia had in fact walked, all at the exact same time too, none the less.
It was clear that her and her friend were parting separate ways, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that this would in fact be my perfect time to go on ahead and man up, and try to speak to her. I knew that she knew that I was an ass hole, all at the exact same time too. Still, I knew that she was nice enough of a woman, to not judge me for it, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that this was my one shot whilst she was in fact alone.
I began to start to head over to her, all at the exact same time too, as my heart felt like it was pounding out of its chest right now, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time, as it felt like it was a lot easier said than done, all at the exact same time as well.
As I drew closer to her, I then all of the sudden began to start to stop my self, as I blinked my eyes a few times, all at the exact same time too. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time, as I then all of the sudden did in fact begin to start to speak to my self once again, so that no one near by that was passing my the streets, could in fact hear as to just what it was that I was even saying to my self in the very first place any ways, once again.
"Come on you pussy, Knox! Now is your chance..." I said to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I wish that I could slap the bitch out of me right now, but once again, I felt like I had spoken it in to some sort of existence, all at the exact same time as well. I knew that as much of an ass hole that I just so happened to be, all at the exact same time too. I also knew that I was in fact also a pussy, and I did not have the balls to go after Lenore, all at the exact same time as well.
I kind of let out quite a bit of a heavy sigh to my self, as I knew that it would in fact be quite a bit weird for her, all at the exact same time too. I was a man, and it was in the middle of the night practically at this point, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that it would be quite a bit suspicious of me to just walk up on her like that right now, as well, as I knew that she was in fact just trying to go back home.
I let out quite a bit of an angry, and quite a bit of an annoyed sigh to my self, all at the exact same time too. It felt like I was looking for any sort of excuse to talk my self out of it, all at the exact same time as well, as I hated my self for it, if I was in fact not going to lie to my self either. I wanted to punch my self, and I wanted to punch my self hard, kind of like a punch from Cole, all at the exact same time as well.
I hated my self, and I wanted to be some thing different, but I suppose that it was in fact my own fault after all. I just kind of dipped my head a little bit low to the ground, all at once, as I then all of the sudden began to start to sit down at another table that was in fact right in front of me right now, as I knew that I was in fact in the down town area of the city, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that they did in fact have these chairs, and they did in fact have these tables all over the place, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
As I stood there, and I stared at the table for just a little bit longer, I then all of the sudden began to start to notice a piece of paper that was sitting there, all at the exact same time too. I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time as well. It was the piece of paper that Lenore had in fact put down there, all at the exact same time too, none the less.
It read, 'looking for 5 young men, and 5 young women, to come with me, and save the world'. That was what it was that they had been talking about, and it kind of made my heart begin to pound, all at the exact same time too. I had always dreamed of going out side, and seeing the real world, and also being able to save it, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at once. As I stood there, and I stared for just a little bit longer, I then all of the sudden began to start to realize as to just what it had meant, none the less.
I had seen these flyers all over the town all day, as I knew that it had in fact came from the crazy scientist, all at the exact same time too. I just had not taken the time to read it, until this point, all at the exact same time as well, at that. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, as I then began to start to realize as to just what it was that it had in fact meant, all at the exact same time as well, once again.
Perhaps me and Lenore had a lot more in common than it was that I had first thought, all at the exact same time as well, as my hear then all of the sudden did in fact begin to start to pound at the thought of all of that, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, and I then all of the sudden did in fact begin to start to speak to my self all of the sudden, all at once.
"Well... This is interesting..."
