“Ahh, ahh. Everything on the news just makes sigh these days. It’s all so boring.”
“We can’t win. We’re doing our best, but this is all we get. There are so many champion schools here. We’re good enough to get at least to the qualifiers in any other district, so why are we stuck here?”
“Did you see that site? Type in your age, qualifications, and academic history and it’ll calculate out how much inco you’ll earn in your lifeti. ...You aren’t laughing? Why can’t you just laugh this off?”
“The election’s next week? It doesn’t matter. That isn’t going to change anything.”
“I don’t have the courage. I’m not the kind of person who can just talk to any boy. What am I supposed to do? Am I just going to sit here hesitating until soone else takes him?”
“What is this? This is hopeless. What even is a normalized score? If I’m separated from the rest here, how am I supposed to support myself for the next seventy or eighty years?”
“Oh, crap. At my age, you can’t find anyone even on this questionable dating site.”
“Why is it so hard to breathe?”
“Is everything I try a dead end?”
“How should I put it...”
“Can’t sothing happen to just blow it all away?”
