“Oh, how I love her! Every graceful step she takes in my presence, the way she makes anyone’s emotions crumble with a single icy stare from her radiant eyes. And she does not realize it. Her simple and innocent nature shelters her eyes from the rest of society, who unfortunately does not share my perspective. If only I could show this wondrous rose of perfection what she means to me, the culmination of all her extraordinary traits including intelligence, a sense of humor, and the shear way she lives in peace with herself.” “Mr. Sa-VETH”, said the professor with a slight inflection on the latter portion of his ID name, “would you care to answer how to calculate the proper code for the program layout we just defined? Or rather, the hardware necessary to configure an environment suitable for such a program to execute itself efficiently?” Of course, Saveth cares less for this petty class. Declared a prodigy at age five, his elders, friends, family, and especially teachers marvel at his skill in computers and technology, the dominant profession during the “modern” years of the 22nd century. Though his intellectual capacity reigns superior, a hollow force tugs at the bindings of his mind, teasing him with the single most emotional concept Saveth has come across in the early years, friendship. “No sir. I honestly wasn’t paying attention, sir.” “Errr… Saveth, I understand that you were forced to be in this class, according to the rules this school, but just because you know more than anyone else, even at the adult level, doesn’t mean you can daydream…”, said the teacher, who had experienced this from Saveth numerous times in the past. “Yes sir, of course sir, I’m sorry… sir.” exclaimed Saveth, not truly meaning what he said. Saveth immediately begins drifting back into his dream, the one of his dearest friend, Alexia, but loses his train of thought with the dismissal bell. He casually follows his usual routine after school: recharging the polarity within the magnetic capsules of his cruiser, cleaning up any residue that may have deposited itself on the instruments, and finally bidding a farewell to his sweet rose, Alexia. “Wow, the school year really HAS flown by, hasn’t it?” “Heehee, I’d say it’s gone by too fast Sav, I’m going to miss having you around this retreat. I end up getting stuck with ‘you know who.’”, whispered Alexia, in an ever so meaningful way. Saveth already knows all too well who she makes reference to; a fellow student who attends the campus. He exhibits the characters of someone wishing to cause nothing but harm and pain in the lives of others, with little sympathy or remorse for the dire consequences. With the random hatred he has for Saveth, his new primary target shifts from the mullets of the early grades to none other than Saveth’s closest friend, Alexia, an easy target due to her easy-going nature.. “…That reminds me… has he been giving you a hard time recently? I’ve noticed how he constantly takes advantage of you mentally, because he knows that you don’t retaliate, but rather accept and move on. Why do you do that!? Let someone impede on YOUR life.” “Well, thanks for the analysis Sav, but I’m just not sure of him. He sort of makes me feel comfortable… that evil Patton. Always getting on people’s bad sides”, said Alexia very warily, trying not to offend anyone in the departure hangar.
