Between finals and the current political agenda, you can't tell which one is more taxing. Your finals are due in a couple of hours and you have no idea where to begin.
Since the announcement of all schools closing down you've been crashing at your friends bachelor pad. She agreed to let you stay on the promise of paying half the rent and a pack of mango white claws.
It's a small apartment but there's two rooms and one bathroom, the living room and kitchen are practically connected. You've taken over the guest room by now, clothes spewed all over the floor and your textbooks and paper flooded the only other piece of furniture in the room other than a bed and that was a desk.
"I'm home y/n!!" A voice called out in the distance. "And I brought Popeyes since it's Tuesday! Come get some when you're hungry, I'll leave it in the fridge"
"Ok thanks!" You replied, knowing your roommate had just come home from working all day at a small coffee shop downtown. She knows you're busy with your studies, and you know she's tired- so nobody tries to make much conversation.
The sound of a running shower is heard momentarily later and you focus back on your computer screen.
Finals due 11:59pm
A heavy sigh leaves your chest and you place your head down in defeat, "I'm paying the same amount as when I physically attended school but this is the education I'm getting-what a scam"
But nonetheless you figured it'd be nice if you just got it over with. So you pull out your textbook with a new sense of "determination" and get to work on what your overeager professor calls a final. Not long after you find yourself distracted by Instagram, tik tok, and twitter.
"Kpop Stans took down a whole app?How the hell?" You scroll until you're redirected onto a page with a link, join us-but who's us? The caption read. You clicked it thinking it's a website for a online job or something but all that pops up is a black screen that says thank you.
"Hm, that's weird." You thought to yourself as you finally close the distracting tabs and refocus on your work. You're halfway through the final when your screen fizzes into static and then code starts lining the screen.
"What the hell?! Must've been that fucking link oh my god I'm so dumb" you click on the reset button but all that appears is a password needed pop up. All the forums you read on a whim in high-school now finally pay off, you get to pinging the IP address.
The IP address bounces servers several times till the passcode is finally input and the screen is redirected into a random server.
"How did you do that?!" A deep but distorted voice calls out through the speakers making you almost jump out of your seat.
"Hello?? Uhh who is this?? Why were you trying to hack my shit??" You interrogate hesitantly.
"I was informed you had government documents that we needed."
"Sir what are you talking about??" You retort.
"Well I traced a pdf that was linked to you in a undisclosed email under 4/6 and so I'm trying to access it, but it looks like you've caught me red handed" the voice lets out a soft huff as if he was impressed but nervous.
"...sir are you talking about my final? I'm a political science student, might that be the government documents you're talking about??"
"Ahh I see, so that's what it was under." The voice responded almost embarrassed like.
You look down at your phone and the time is 11:50. "FUCK I GOTTA TURN IN MY FINAL"
"I'm sorry but it looks like I can't let you go back yet until I get all the documents. You're just gunna have to stay here and play code wars with me then huh?" The voice coos as you scramble for a pen atop the paper scattered desk.
"Ha! As if, finish my final then I'll sit here with you" You mock annoyingly
"Consider that wish granted" The voice says lowly.
"What? Are you serious?"
The screen then disappears back into the finals url and you see answers being typed into the final in rapid speed.
"Look it over" The voice presses
You scan the rest of the page and the answers all seem correct, you hit submit and the server suddenly pops back up.
"Does that mean I have to sit here with you now? But thank you and at least give me your name or something." You reply
"I'm sorry I can't give you a name, I cant tell you any information on myself really. But what I can do is tell you about yourself, and how you're only in a bra and you seem to like the category rough sex on cornhub."
"Stop looking through my shit!" you shout as you frantically look for a post it note to cover the webcam
The voice laughs, then a click is heard and the distortment seems to fade.
"Ahah relax I'm not some creepy guy like that, Im sorry for invading your privacy like that but thank you for the documents." The voice is so clear now, it's deep and raspy but soft and
gentle. And his laugh seems light and honest.
"Why did you need those specific documents anyways?" You huff angrily
"Well it seems your professor really outdid himself and went into an old index to uncover these documents, which the government decided to remove. So we've been trying to get them for a while but they've been dormant. It finally popped up again when he added it to your final I suppose."
"And why didn't you just hack his computer?" You asked clearly annoyed
"Well he seems to have a pretty strong anti-hack software downloaded on his device. I didn't feel like spending all that time rewriting code so yours was the easiest options. Btw you should probably change your password of digbick, it's pretty easy to decipher."
"Uhh thank you I guess?" You respond before getting cut off
"Y/n who are you talking to??" Shouts your roommate from the hallway.
"And that's my cue to go, bye cutie forget you had this conversation" and the server disappears onto a completed screen of your submitted final.
Your roommate opens the door and you look at her in a panic.
"Dude I think I just got hacked and some guy was talking to me through the screen! And then he did my final for me. Isn't that crazy??"
"You better find him and put a ring on that because who else would willingly do someone else's homework for them. What a simp LOL"
"Oh shut up that's big dick energyy, you wish there were guys hacking your computer and doing your homework." You joke
"LMAO YOU RIGHT, the things I'd do to have a dude simping over me. Anyways go eat some chicken, I know you've been only eating instant ramen and I don't know how your stomach is capable of not falling out of your ass at this point." She teases
"Alright bet"
You say as you shut down your computer and leaving the room. Unaware of what else or who else that is still capable of listening in.
Hey guys I know nothing about coding or hacking or what not, I don't know much about how the government stores documents either so please don't come for me. I know this chapter was pretty boring, but it'll get good soon. Hope you enjoy the rest!
