Name: Vanessa Rose Rivera

Age: 17

Hair Color: Brown

Eye Color: Brown

Applying for: Position in the Titan project

I handed the form to the the supervisor of the Titan project.

"What the hell is this?" She said

"I want to help. I am willing to work unpaid. I just really want to help." I told her.

She grabbed my form crumpled it and threw it in the garbage can. Then pressed the burn button. Soon the form holding all my hopes and dreams was turned to ashes within seconds.

"I have said no. My answer has always, and will always be no Vanessa." She said

"But-"

" Leave my office." She said

I walked out and slammed the door.

I sighed. Grabbed my new zero-gravity jacket, and headed to my 2158 Ford Flyer.

As I started the engine and put on my safety flying glasses. I couldn't calm myself down. I've wanted to be a part of the Titan project ever since I was little.

"You have a text message from Carrie." said my car.

"Open." I said.

" Carrie says: ' Hey Ness can you give me a ride my Nike airs are out of jet fuel.' Reply to Carrie?" said my car.

I groaned. Carrie and I had known each I other since 1st term back when we were 5. She struggled greatly with basics like Algrebra 2 and Italian and got mostly 3s on that part of her reports. In case you forgot this is what our grading scale was,

Grading Scale:

0 Excels& Teaches

1 Excels&Understands

2 Minor Mistakes

3 Major Mistakes

4 Does not understand

Carrie had 1s and and even 0s I'm most of her classes. And in case you forgot what classes you had in 1st term (when we were 3-6 years old) let me refresh

1st term

Math: add,subtract, multiply, divide, pre alegebra, algebra, geometry, Algebra 2

English: alphabet , word structure, phonics, grammar, essay writing

Science: life, earth, physics, chemistry, biology

Carrie was a genius, still is. We both wanted to work on the Titan project. However she got accepted and I have been rejected 5 times. Even though I got a 0 in Titanium history, a 0 in astronomy, and a 0 in Solar history and language.

"Reply to Carrie." I said and started flying faster in my car.

" What would you like me to say?" My car asked.

" Say I'll be there in 5 minutes." I snapped

" Ms.Rivera, I can sense your blood pressure, and heart beats per minute going up, so I understand you are angry. However there is no reason to speed at such a high altitude. Carrie is 15 minutes away. If you were going at the speed limit. Which you are not. You would realize that-"

"Not now. I'll slow down after we have Carrie. So can you kindly just let me rebel in my last year before adulthood?"

"But Ms.Rivera-"

"I will reprogram you again. Now stop this nonsense." I said as I flew through the clouds at rapid speed.
