ahhh.. what a wonderful day it is today.. the sun is shining,, the birds are singing. the pollution from  exploitive multimedia companies smog up the sky,, yep. today was perfect!

i was walking down the sidewalk,, humming a tune as i held on my backpack strap,, it was a catchy song that got stuck in my head recently after hearing it on social media.. man i hope i could learn the name of the song,, it was such a nice song that i could vibe on it for hours on end and never get bored!

soon i reach the familar building of the school i attend. Clone High High School. you see im a clone of the infamous abe Lincoln after all..!

i then enter the campus and waved at my peers,, giving them my natural smile and quirkiness as they did the same for me,, sure im not popular like JFK or Frida kahlo but im pretty well known around the campus since i was one of the clones that got frozen 20 years ago,, so occasionally a couple of the newbie clones would ask me questions about 20 years ago. i dont mind answering the questions from curious clones..

i just wanted to have more people asking me more like JFK or Joan of arc..

i then shake my head off of bad thoughts and went back to smiling?  who cares if JFK and joan got more people interested in them? it gives me more time to give to myself!

i then walk around the school hallways with my head held up high with hopes and positivity,, and also because if i dont stand up straight i might get back problems..

"good morning bud!"

i waved at a random passerby,, i think that was the clone of anne boelyn. im not sure  i didnt really get a good look at em but her looks were close enough,, i might need to get a btter look at her so i can recognize her somewhere in the future.

i continue to walk down the halls and greet people goodmorning until i find my locker,, and great coincidence my best buddy topher was there near my locker! hes my best friend in the whole world so seeing him made my day so much better!

"hey topher! whats up man?"

i say in an excited tone as i saw topher look up to look at me since im waaaay taller than him by alot! i hear topher clear his throat and responded with

"oh its just a regular day for me,, how about you? you seem more giddy today.."

i hear topher say in his usual monotonic and tired tone,, i can already tell he stayed up all night again on social media trying to cancel the people he found "offensive" to the community.

"well.. i mean  i guess today is such a good day,, why not be happy about it while its stil a good day? i mean who knows.. it might rain."

i responded to topher trying to look mature and wise to him as he only responded in a bored nod,, it really seems like he hasnt slept due to his lack of response..

"but anyway.. did you stay up all night again on flipflop and bleddit?"

i ask topher and he nodded. ah,, no wonder why he looks so exhausted.. poor guy,, he might sleep in class again and get in trouble with mr.sheepman for sleeping in class again.

"dude you seriously need to get sone sleep,, at this point i dont think staying up all night constantly is good for your health.. and trust me i've been through that insomniac phase as well when i was with cleo 20 years ago.."

i told topher,, god. 20 years ago? i sound so ancient.. i never knew i could say "20 years ago" while still being in highschool..

topher seemed to be listening to his words as all he could do and nod and then respond with

"you're right.. im sorry dude. i just had to schold that one guy on my bleddit who was really acting up lately. saying all kinds of bullshit and i had to put him back in his place so i could silence his big ego."

topher told me in his monotonical voice being a little more lively instead of it sounding dead as always. i guessmaybe topher wanted to talk about it.

i then gave topher a smile and he looked up at me and started to rant to me about the guy in his bleddit that hes trying to silence.

"tell me more topher your stories are really interesting dude!"

i told topher as i see his eyes became more alive-like,, as he continued to rant to me. wow.. i guess he really did wanna talk about it. i mean i guess since he thinks it an achievement.

"thats really cool topher!"

i give him a smile as topher cracked a small smile and nodded formally in a way but i knew he was excited,, i mean he is my best buddy. i know alot of his facial expressions afterall.

"hey abe..? can i talk to you about my feelings?"

topher said out of the blue,, was he upset about something? does he have a new crush asides from joan? what could it possibly be?

"sure bud,, whats on your mind?"

i asked him as he cleared his throat,, wow he's really preparing

"abe i think i-"
