I LOVE YOU ALL

Sue


Sue’s eyes opened to view the ceiling, and it was the new day ahead of her. It really had been a long time she’d been here in the Academy, yet it still never felt like home. Her friends were there and there was the possibility of love in the air with Anthony Luthor but other than that the spirit here was not one that made them feel at home. It was always so dangerous and experimental. Nothing ever felt normal and normalcy was not a thing that they could expect here in the Academy. Perhaps it was just Sue not knowing for sure what she expected much from herself yet. The goal is there, but the journey was confusing and, when grasped ahold of it, difficult.

After her quick jog and exercise/stretch routine and a rushed shower, she made her way to the cafeteria, almost embarrassed and unsure of what to feel about Anthony now. Was she overreacting about Anthony not coming? She did sleep earlier than everyone else. Was he actually just busy? Then why didn’t he tell her?

Sue saw Anthony sitting with her good friend Kijani, a heated discussion erupted and the outburst emanated, drawing eyes to their table as Sue stacked a mountain of food to her tray. She knew Kijani was a tough girl and knew she could handle herself, but it was more of avoiding Anthony that she didn’t go over to them.

She sat at her table and finished her food quickly. It was colder that day, and Sue was, though fully clad, freezing having to eat outdoors. PE was first, and walked her way to the gym, quite ahead of everyone, seated on the top row of the bleachers, exactly where she saw on Day One.

Class in an hour. Can't post much. Just ended it with Sue sleeping early.

Sue woke up from her nap and looked up at the clock high up on a wall, just opposite her – its ticking noise largely absorbed by the anechoic, noise-muffling walls. It was late and there was no sign of Anthony being here in her room or even a knock on the door in the previous hours. Though she was now quite awake and most likely going to stay up throughout the night to finish her homework, she was no longer in the mood to see Anthony, expecting him to have come earlier.

She reached for her phone and sent a text message to “Anthony baby <3”

”I thought when you said you had plans but could make time for me, you meant it. Sorry for putting my hopes up with the busy, busy Luthor. Perhaps another time, then.”


She pouted her lips to a corner. She turned on her TV, a recent privilege with huge stipulations on its usage, especially to volume levels, and watched a bit of world news. She smiled when she saw a flash of superheroes being praised for their vigilant work, a reminder of what she wanted to be. She left it on while reaching into her bag to pull out her homework. It wasn’t as hard as she’d thought - which was not to say she didn’t want Anthony here at all. She almost felt silly for having such high hopes.

After her homework, she did her routine stretches and exercises, then fell asleep at the ten mark.

Come explore the United States for awhile! I wonder if you'd like it here--compared to where you live, it might seem friggin desolate though, you guys have a CROOOOWD!


Really makes you think about how big the world really is. I always thought Hong Kong was big - then I look at Texas alone and I'm scared.
Sad thing though: I've never technically left China.

I've been to Macao, and that's about it. haha

I need to exploreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So I take it you are in Hong Kong Dioxide? I'd love to visit, I actually want to see both China and Japan. I respect a lot of the culture in the orient. Not to say I agree with every single thing or don't see some of their faults (like child labor, sweatshops, that sort of thing) but there are a lot of aspects of the Oriental culture that I admire and respect.


Filial piety I heard is one of the things many academics are looking into from the Asian region hahaha. :D

Hong Kong weeeeeeeee
Hm, I have an idea.

I will use Cantonese Chinese for my next post, with translation, of course.
