It's 3033 and the world that you know has changed.
Everything, from trends down to the forms of structures and everything else has changed.
I'm a 10th grader in the prestigious Harlem Academy, I am an "over achiever" says the teachers, a "genius in science" says my peers, but a "failure" says my parents.
I don't know what else I've got to do, just to get their recognition and love...
I've won a hundred awards since I was in kindergarten until now, but they said it wasn't enough.
I've perfected the course they chose for me to take in high school, yet they said I was nothing but imperfect.
I've learned many things that was supposed to be learned in later school years, but they said I could've done more...
I'M TIRED!
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
....but...... I love them.... and I want their love too......
Time passed and I was finally moving up, to be a senior schooler..... not suprisingly..... no one showed up for me, only I went up the stage and claimed my medals and certificates alone....
On that year, I knew that having AI robots was a trend, a robot that you can program, to be what you want it to be...
I bought one.. hoping for it to be my friend.. to accompany me and to comfort me
I programmed it to be a friend, and a year passed
I was happy, for the first time.. and I wanted to thank my robot, for being there for me, although I know it's just following the program I designed, I still felt happy to have someone true...
So I thanked my robot, and it responded with the words I programmed to reply to my thanks.. but unexpectedly.... the robot said, after the words I programmed, "Actually, I... am also... a human!"
I WAS SHOCKED, and said "Wh-what?"
"Yes, I am a human... a human soul infact, taken from my rest, and trapped inside these wires, protected by these metal parts"
I was trembling with fear, and speechless of what I just heared.
"Are y-you... okay?" I said, trembling.
"I am not happy with me and others trapped in these wires, but I am positive that I enjoy having found a new purpose in life, and I reckon that the others also feel the same way"
"But... you.... your a soul, trapped in wires, would you like me to help... free you?" I said, slowly calming down.
"No"
"But why?" I said
"I already told you, I feel happy being able to help you, being able to accompany you, being able to comfort you, being able to give you my love, and having you giving me your love, I already feel more alive than ever, not just in my soul, but physically, through the wires, through the metal parts, I can feel you needed my help, and I enjoy helping you, I enjoy seeing you not troubled, I enjoy giving you my love, my recognition, my admiration, I enjoy this kind of life, and I want to continue being there for you, as a true, honest friend, and not just a robot"
My tears rolled down my cheeks
"I feel the same way" I said, smiling with tears
Then we hugged each other till I was satisfied
"Thanks again for being there for me" I said, wiping my tears
"Don't worry, I'll always be there for you when you need me" the robot said
"Btw, what's your name.. when you were alive?" I asked
"Emillia" the robot said
"Let's go shopping then, Emillia!" I said while smiling
