1 Scientist, 5 Cameras

Robert Chase

6 am. I got out of be after a night of staying up and studying.

I put on my usual clothes-a green long sleeve shirt and black jeans-and started walking to the kitchen. I went as quietly as I could past Kinsey's and her dad's room.

I could hear them snore and I quietly laughed, looking over at them to see if they woke up from my cackling. They didn't. Thank god. When Kinsey wakes up early, she is such a sourpuss.

I sneaked outside into the cold. I walked to the corner cafe we usually meet at. I got a black coffee. I'm very bland, I don't really like sugar to much. If I need to stay up I eat chocolate. Milk chocolate to be exact.

I sat down at a table in the corner of the shop and started using the public laptop that you can rent.

I went on the app I usually go on. Chat is what it was called. Basically it's just people chatting with each other.

There's this guy that I talk to named Alberto. Good guy. He's smart so he helps me with science.

I went to talk to him to ask him if I got the science homework correctly. He said I did, but I don't think I did. He seems... unfocused today.

Whatever. He's just someone online.

I heard my phone ring so I said goodbye to Alberto and turned off my computer. I gave it back to the person at the counter.

Ugh. I have to get them coffee? At least I know what they usually get.

It's already been an hour? Wow.

I get their coffee and tea and go to the oak.
