"Hello Nessa!" said my friend Carrie.
I rolled my eyes. Ever since Carrie and I had known each other she decided to call me this childish nickname. It was completely absurd, sometimes I wondered how we were even friends in the first place. I thought that after a few years she would give up her child-like antics. Like nicknames, and wearing her hair down, and the most absurd of them all, reading.
Just the thought of reading the made me cringe.
The weirdest thing is Carrie didn't read like a normal person. No! She wasted money on actually finding the written copy of a book ( which were extremely rare since why print out books when you can just get the electronic copy without all the hassle. Which in itself was rare.).
"Get in the car Carrie." I growled.
Carrie hopped into my car and closed the door. Soon we were zipping through the clouds ( at the speed limit of course thanks to my nagging car.)
"May I leave my Nike airs in here?" Carrie asked.
"Knock yourself out." I said. Being only a tad literal.
"So what did your mom say?" asked Carrie.
"What she always says." I sighed.
" Was it something along the lines of get the hell out of my office how dare you ask to be on the titan project again?" She asked.
I nodded my head. " I swear I don't know why she won't let me in on the Titan project. She works on it. It's as if she is hiding something." I said.
Carrie laughed " What could she be hiding Nessa? The big secret that you both were born with a stick the size of the statue of liberty up your asses?"
I glared at her, and whilst glaring I saw that once again she had a printed book in her super sac.
Yes, a super sac. I swear when they took all the creativity out of our food, lifestyle, and clothing they took it away from naming the things they made as well.
"What horrid tale are you reading this time?" I asked Carrie already regretting asking .
"Books are beautiful Nessa." Carrie said.
"Although since you have the intellectual curiosity of a sloth I wouldn't expect you of all people to know that." She muttered.
"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that." I said.
Carrie laughed and then slowly stopped. " it's called the fault in our stars." Carrie said.
"Isn't that book about two hundred years old? What knowledge can you get from something made so long ago?" I asked.
" Old doesn't always mean bad Nessa." Carrie said.
"Yeah? Well then why don't we live in barns then? Why don't we eat hamburgers and shop for pretty dresses hmm? Why don't we sit around all day reading books and painting our nails and what-not? Because we are still going through evolution Carrie. Human beings weren't half the men and women we are today. At this point they were still trying to get up to Mars! Imagine that!" I said.
"I'd rather live in that kind of a time. A time where we weren't forced to learn Calculus at six years old! And rocket science at ten! A time where there were diners,books, and boys who actually gave a damn. A time where I could eat a huge ass slice of chocolate cake. Not some stupid dissolving tablet to get nutrients that I need. Humans were made to be creative Nessa. Not every question needs to be solved hell! Not every question can be solved! Do you know how far we have gotten in the Titan project Ness? Do you? We haven't even made contact with the Titans yet! Half the staff can't speak the language you know how complicated it is I barely got a one." Carrie said.
" I barely got a three ." I said. " And what do you mean you guys haven't gotten that far its been around ten years." I said.
Carrie sighed " Honestly Ness, I know its your dream to be on this project. But we've achieved absolutely nothing. Tomorrow they are going to try to make contact with the Titans. But once again I think we will-"
"Wait, tomorrow they will try to contact them?" I asked.
"Yes, by using satellites why?" Carrie asked.
"Oh nothing." I said smirking.
"Nessa, Nessa I don't like that look. Usually when you get that look you get both of our asses in trouble." Carrie said.
"Oh sweet sweet innocent Carrie. Who said it was just our asses that would get in trouble?" I asked.
"Nessa no!"
"But Carrie!"
"Nessa I refuse that you involve him in this!"
"Why because you love him?" I asked laughing.
"VANESSA ROSE RIVERA SHUT YOU MOUTH I DO NOT LOVE MATTHEW JAMES CLERY!" Carrie exclaimed.
I grinned " Then how come you knew who I was talking about?"
"Nessa I do not like him." Carrie said
"Sure you don't." I said.
" I don't." Carrie snapped.
" You don't or you won't?" I asked.
"You know Matt would never go for me. You know how he is he barely gives me a glance." Carrie said.
"Maybe he's shy." I shrugged
"What's your stupid plan?" Carrie asked.
I laughed " I love when you get angry its like a baby cat trying to bark." I said.
Carrie groaned " Why did God make our paths connect?"
"So you could get some common sense." I said smirking.
"So you in?" I asked after receiving nothing but silence from Carrie
"Do I have a choice?" Carrie asked.
"Do you ever?" I said laughing.
Carrie sighed "No. So this plan?"
