the robot

17

Hot air. A nice warm feeling on my cold skin. First day of spring, everything is blooming to life. Tree's flutter green leaves, grass blooms little flowers of all types. I walk on the road in my quiet neighborhood, since there is no sidewalk. Listening to nature come to life.

A secret i have is also going to bloom like a flower does in spring. Im going to revel it, show them the petals I've been hiding. Praying they'll accept it, and not watch it wilt to death. So much anixety, hundreds of possible outcomes running by my head.

Wondering if they will laugh, say im lying or im crazy. Which isn't to far fetched, considering it sounds so weird to say aloud. Like a little kid imagining themself as a dinosaur, then blatantly coming out as "im actually part dinosaur." When really there not. Weird example i know just go with it-

My heart thumps a thousand times in a second it feels like, and my legs feel like jello. I really have no plan of action at this point. I want to tell the truth but i have no idea how im going to do it. There totally gonna think im mad or something, screwed up in the head. But what if i use the power that comes with said robot parts?

Use that as pure evidence to prove im not crazy but instead fucking supernatural?? Yeah maybe not do that. I want to turn around and go home, pretend this was all nothing. I can't do this!-

I bump into someone unexpectedly, dragging me away from my downward spiral of thoughts. "Oh im sorry-" i started to say, but when i met the strangers eye's it was John.

I swear i felt my entire soul just yeeted itself out of my body-

"Alex! Hi! Didn't see ya there, sorry. What are you doing on this nice day out?" His smiled glowed, and it made me so much more anxious.

"Ya know, just taking a walk.."

"Cool. Wanna walk together? I was strolling about to. In fact i was on my to see you! What a coincidence!" He chuckled lightly.

I gave some sort of nervous laugh in return. My stomach was churning and i felt the urge to throw up.

"Hey, you ok? Looking kinda pale there Alex." John said, and i bit my lip.

"I was actually on my way to see you to, before we collided, honestly.." My word's were all mumble and i didn't even have to look at John to see the growing concern on his face.

"Oh?"

I take a gulp, trying very hard to keep my composure. Here goes literally everything.

"I was.. Gonna tell you something. I've haven't told anyone else this actually.. And im kinda scared to be honest of what your reaction might be."

"Well.. Whatever it is it's safe with me. I won't freak, promise."

He sounded so sure, little does he know that it's so much more.

"Guess i should start from the beginning..

About a couple years ago, i was in a bad car accident. Got pretty mingled up. I almost died.. My body was so bad the doctor's had no choice but to replace it with metal parts. These parts were put on my back, arm and right eye.

With these parts, im basically half robot.." I came to a conclude, a weight on my shoulders were heavy after confessing. Now i wait for a reaction. My hands are so sweaty knees weak arm's heavy.

"Dude, is this real? Your part robot? Wait can i see?!"

And just like that the heavy weight flew right off me. His tone of wonder and confusion made me feel better. Of course i was expecting confusion, guess i was over thinking to much on the negative.

"Um yeah! Sure." I say, a small smile pulling on my lips. I pulled up my sleeve, very hesitant but kinda excited. He awed at the metal parts making up my entire arm, and i knew immediately there would be a million questions to be answered.
