Chapter 20

Chloe trudged to Daniel’s dorm. It was with great reluctance that she went back to the university. She did not hate the university or the dorm it was instead the reason why she was currently heading to the dorms that she hated. Had it not been out of necessity that she came, she would’ve gladly continued her research on GateSec. As she climbed over the university’s walls and onto the campus, she recalled the conversation she had.

“Hello, Daniel?”

“Oh, it’s not Daniel.”

“Creepy roommate?!”

“Yeah that- creepy roommate?! What’s with that nickname?!”

“… You know very well what you did to deserve that. Pervert.”

“Alright, alright. I have my reasons, but I just want to say, I like you! I’ve felt this way ever since we saw each other! Please be my girlfriend!”

“Important things like that should not be discussed over the phone.”

“Denial… *sob* Then, tell me where you are now, I’ll meet you!”

“Hell no! Even if we did meet somewhere else, you’d follow me home! Even though I have confidence in losing pursuers, I have no confidence in losing a pervert! You and your kind have insane vitality and tracking skills!”

“Then how am I supposed to properly confess to you?!”

“I’ll meet you at the dorm!”

“Alright!”

“… If you try to do anything to me, I’ll castrate you. And trust me, I know how.”

“… Yes ma’am…”

“Then, I’ll see you never. Bye.”

“Ah?! If you don’t come, I’ll search the city for you!”

“Jesus Christ! Fine, I’ll come! Just don’t go putting up wanted posters!”

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

“Please hurry.”

“Fuck off.”

Chloe grimaced as she remembered his voice. She hated his type. It was mostly the shamelessness and passion that they show when they chase after their girl. It was even worse when it was her brother’s roommate, as he fell for her at first sight. Though she intended to listen to his confession speech, she had no thought of saying ‘yes’ to him. Gathering her courage, she opened her brother’s dorm room. Daniel was not there, so there was no one to stop the roommate from jumping at Chloe as soon as she opened the door. Her instincts kicked in, and she locked him in a painful joint lock, nearly dislocating his elbow before stopping herself.

“You blond, strong, scary woman, you are totally my type. I fell for you as soon as I saw you, please go out with me!” The roommate did not let the joint lock affect his confession as he immediately said loudly.

“Fuck no.” Chloe said, disgustedly.

Chloe looked up, and noticed multiple people staring at her, either peeking out their doors or just standing with their heads turned around. Dislocating his shoulder, Chloe threw the roommate back into the room, shutting the door to his pained screams. Flipping her hair over her shoulder, she pushed her way through the crowd and hopped out the same window she used last time. It was with great relief that she finally returned home. Tired and weary, she flopped down on her bed and went to sleep.

~Fresno, California. 10:14:28 am. December 23, 2044.~

Chloe yawned and stretched her arms. She stood up from the bed and reached for her clothes. The doorbell rang, and her hand stopped in its tracks. Putting aside the clothes, she went to the door and reached for the handle. At that time, she caught sight of something by her feet. It was a newspaper. She opened the door and looked around. Seeing a person next door slipping a newspaper through the mail slot of that room, she closed her door. Picking up the newspaper, her thoughts turned toward her image of the word ‘future’. To her, this was the future. However, her image of future did not include newspapers. It was a pleasant surprise to find a newspaper in this day and age.

She scanned the front page while walking back to her room. A small headline caught her attention, making her actions stop. “California State University Student Beaten Down By His Crush!”. It was as though Chloe had become enlightened as she felt the desire to hide her head under her sheets. Until today, she did not understand why people could become so embarrassed they hid under their sheets. However, now he understood. And along with that understanding was an intense desire to ‘pulverize the living shit out of the bastard that wrote this’. Changing clothes, Chloe thought of different ways to get revenge on the author, James McFly. Though she thought the last name ‘McFly’ was enough to get laughs, the movie B*ck To The F*ture apparently was not well known now. While that did infuriate her, she thought it easier to physically beat James McFly than to make the world remember B*ck To The F*ture.

Thinking this, Chloe grasped her sword and summoned the sheath. She wrapped a rope around the sheath and sword, assuring that the two would not separate. With this complete, she slammed the sword down on the table, and turned on her computer. While it was loading, she grabbed her toast and spread some butter on it. Sitting back down at the table, she angrily bit a piece of the toast. She searched ‘James McFly’ on the internet, and eventually found his residence. With a burning passion, she finished her toast and then set off to James McFly’s house.

~What the news article had said.~

On December 22, at California State University dorms, a woman arrived. Witness reports say that she was a beautiful woman with blond hair, but that is the most I could get. She did not take the conventional way in, as no one saw her enter, but instead seemed to enter in some back door way. While this raises questions of California State’s security, it is also logical that she had gone in a different way, using a less-monitored entrance. Within a few minutes of entering the campus, she arrived at room 321, the residence of Daniel Ashfield and Tanner Jackson. It was reported that the woman had directly opened the door, only to be met with the flying form of Tanner Jackson. Students that were interviewed stated that ‘he was more likely to jump at a woman than to be thrown at one.’ It was noted that the other dorm mate, Daniel Ashfield, was out at the time, proving the validity of these statements. Upon coming into close proximity with Tanner Jackson, the woman immediately threw him into a joint lock, with Tanner on his stomach and his arm held behind his back and body pinned to the ground. Although in such a position, Tanner immediately confessed his love to the woman. However, he was instantly denied without a second though. It was then said that, upon noticing the presence of other students in the hall, the woman dislocated Tanner’s arm and threw him back into the dorm with a single arm. She then shut the door and climbed out the window, according to eyewitness reports. A student called emergency services and Tanner Jackson was rushed to the hospital. When attempting to ask questions from Tanner, he replied to me: “Worth it”.

Just who is this mysterious woman? Why does she have such strength to throw a man with one hand? Just why did she do such things? A follow-up story will be coming soon to answer all your questions, so please stay tuned.
