Cole's POV
It was the day, January 1st. A new year and I knew that this one would be better. I unfastened my tie. I didn't have to were it so why would I. I heard the group talking and shouting and I smiled. This was the most rebellious group by far and it would take little convincing to get them to join me. Then I would get Cleo. And then she would get freedom. I saw someone walk out onto the stage to announce me and get shot down by spit balls. I walked out and they all froze.
" your not old." One said and I laughed
" no I'm just a few years older than you." I said and they looked at me strangely
" are you going to tell us how great the project is," they wined and I shook my head
" no I'm not , I did do the project and it is anything but great. I am payed to say good things but I am here to say bad." I started and they put down the spit balls. I had got their attention.
" so this is my idea what if we didn't do what they say? They care to much about the precious population to kill all of us, if we group up in large groups then we can resist it. This is a good group to begin with. This is my plan though since they won't give us everything we want. We won't be forced paired up, we can find our own love by 21 when we will be given the shot or produce children ourselves. That way we still raise the population and don't have to be parented up." I proposed and they looked satisfied.
" why can't we have it all." One kid asked and I smiled.
" because they will never pass a law to let us have it all will they. It's called compromising." I explained and they shut up.
" so are you in?" I asked and they shouted yes. I didn't here one no. This was going to end great.
