Maybe Tomorrow

Chapter 1 - Blank

  Blank......Blank.....BLAAAAAANKKKK!!!!!! 

Pissed off I rolled over in my bed to see who or what was making such a horrendous sound out of my name. I turn to see my friend, Sam, in the doorway looking as annoyed as usual. I could never understand what all the other guys saw in her, with her slim (yet curvy body), toned muscles, and beautiful face, I just always considered her just to be Sam. Most guys that saw her swooned or turned into those stupid wolves that used to come on TVs. Gosh, even that thought of makes me a little sick. TVs or the mention of such technology existing baffled the masses and frowned upon during these times. I am jumped back to reality by the sight of a fist coming my way. Luckily I dodge, although I do feel bad for the wall as a brand new hole has been put in to accompany the numerous others she had already done, poor thing looked like Swiss cheese. 

"What," I asked in an annoyed voice.

 She picks up something in the corner and throws it at me. 

"You'll be late for school", she says.

 Oh. School. How I love the thought of being encased in a room with 20 other human beings all day and being force fed information that I will probably never use,  eat the processed stuff they call cafeteria food, and just getting to the damn place is a journey in itself. I mean I think I deserve a medal just for reaching the god forsaken place. Sam won't start giving me evil eyes, so I just decided to shake my head in acknowledgement. This time it works and she leaves. I now of course crawl back into bed and hope that the beautiful women giving me a massage would come back and finish what she started, but to my dismay she doesn't. I roll out of bed and decide to take my ass to school and hope to whatever deity above that something interesting happens. I go to the bathroom and take the homogeneous mixture of soap, deodorant, and shampoo and begin to slather my body with it. Trust me, it sounds much better than it smells. I then brush my teeth and check in the mirror for any new stubble on my face. Sadly there isn't, but I have to shave away the few strands anyway, ya know to please the ladies. As I jumped into the stupid school uniform I really wondered what would happen if I just went back to sleep. As if she could read my thoughts, Sam came back in brandishing a sock filled with what I could only imagine was rocks. I could see murder in those eyes so off to school I went. Now my school isn't normal by any means. I mean since the new government took over and the advancement of technology, you can literally put on a thinking cap, yes they call them thinking caps, put them on and connect them to the internet. Now the internet itself has been deciphered and understood like the black market itself has become government property. Does that mean that illegal stuff doesn't happen....hahah no. Is weed still illegal, hell yeah. The only difference is that least people don't go to jail for it now. I actually don't know what happens to them they just disappear. Oh well not my problem. Anyway as I plunk myself down into first period, chemistry, hunker down and plug in. As I watch the 0's and 1's flow past, I feel my consciousness leave my real world body and go into this temporary one. As my teacher drones on about bonds and the periodic table I stare out the virtual window that one of those broody anime characters. Of course I turn my head and look at what my other classmates are up to. One is playing Dungeon and Dragons, classic, another one is watching porn,....alrighty then, and then I turn and see this girl and GOD DAMN she is hot like holy smokes her beauty was remarkable. I, of course, wonder if I had stumbled on her like lost pirate booty, but then I noticed I wasn't the only one. Literally every guy was just staring at her and I was like damn challenge accepted. Although a sudden thought came to me..... I don't even know her first name. Damn this was going to be harder than I expected. The sound of the end of period bell rang, well it didn't as much ring as give you a slight shock to let you know it was time for you to log out. I waited for her, in a bit of a stalkerish way, to log out because of everyone can make an avatar into anything we want, for example I have a giant cat in my math class so yeah. Anyway sad to say I only caught a glimpse of her and trust me I searched the entire school, every nook and cranny, but nope shit out of luck. The final buzz came into my body signalling the end of a really shitty school day because I couldn't find that hot girl, whelp I guess it wasn't meant to be. As I took to the long way home to sulk in my failures I ran into Chase, Sam's ridiculous ex. 

"How's Sam doing?" he asks.

He was there looking like a douche as usual. He saw me and asked how she was doing as with all her exes figured out she wasn't as bad as her attitude.

 I mean not to say she couldn't be shitty cause oh boy she needs a good kick in her ass sometimes, but for the most part she was extremely kind. Anyway back to Excalibur, I call him this because he slayed something while in that room. 

"Uhhhhh I do not know, I'm not her god damn babysitter," hoping he will take the hint and piss right the fuck off. 

Thank god he did, so I continued to on my way. I got home threw my bag into my room, changed and then chilled on my phone. Sam came in a few minutes after.

"How did your day go?" she asks, only looking for a way to curve her boredom. 

"Well I saw Chase." I answer and immediately I could see the change in her face. It soon returned to  happened at a pace too fast to notice.

"Mmhm," was the only conjecture she gave at that point.

" I did she a really hot chick," that go her attention instantly.

She goes stupid excited, like teenager ogling over a stupid actor or music star. Anyway, I described her long flowing curly hair that looked like it had recently been straightened but was turning back. Her nice face and body, but her quiet demeanor. It was like a mysterious vacuum and I had been sucked in. She looked at me and told me her name, Cameron, so simple yet the name infatuated me to no end. Anyway with this new information in hand, I suddenly couldn't wait for school the next day.
