"So what do you think people will ask?" Asked Aaron. "Well I know for sure I'll get questions like 'how many followers will I have in the next week or so?' And a few people saying 'yeah right, you're lying.' Which I would expect even if I was lying." I said. Nobody would possibly believe me unless they asked me a very personal questions in which no one but themselves would know the answer to. "Well, maybe you could start it by saying 'ask me some questions, not about myself though." Said Gene. "Yes! And you could say 'make them about you, make it them personal ones that nobody else would know. DM me these questions, don't ask them in the comments." Said Aaron. I already knew that's what would work, it's the only way people would think I'm not lying, or they'd think I'm stalking them. So I posted this. with in one second I already got a response. It asked how many followers they would have in the next week, "You'll have 137 total followers by next week. "I replied. "liar, I'll probably have more than by next week. I ACTUALLY know everything smh." replied the other person. "Who does this person think they are?!" Gene asked. "They can't claim to know everything, only you can do that." "Gene, I did say people would think I'm lying didn't I?" I said. then Gene calmed down a bit. "Yes, but they couldn't possibly have the same powers as you could they?" asked Gene. I quickly replied, "No."
We then went to homeroom, which was about an hour long. My phone kept going off every 5 seconds, most likely due to the DMs that were being sent to me by whoever saw the posts on my social media accounts. It got to the point where I had to shut my phone off before the teacher would take it away. By the time it ended I had already gotten over 50 DMs in inbox, most of them about how many followers someone would have by tomorrow, it was the same answer for most them, 0, 1, or 2. But the last one was very interesting, it read "Is the government hiding anything from us??" and immediately had to reply, "Yes. They are hiding many things from us." I couldn't believe what I had typed. Gene looked over my shoulder to see the message, "What?!" Said Gene, "I Can't believe it either." I said. "Talia, omg, the government is hiding things from us!" asked Gene. "I know, but we won't know what they're hiding until I get asked more questions about it!" I replied. Just then we heard a snickering behind us, "What are you to dweebs freaking out about?" it was Max Bender, the bully of Loterdale High. He was a tall guy, with the build of a football player. Without a second thought I would've spilled, but luckily Gene responded quicker than I did, "Wouldn't you like to know, asshole!" This made Max very angry. "What did you just call me?" he asked. To which I confidently replied, "They called you an asshole." Then Max turned his attention toward me. "You've got some nerve talking to me like that Ambers." he said stepping closer to me. Then one of his goons spoke up, "Just let em slide Max, they aren't even worth it." Then Max subsided, but not before he got a last word in. "You better watch your back Ambers." he said before he walked off. "Wow." said Gene. "Yeah, wow." I agreed. Then we continued on down the hallway to our next class, I answered more questions until we got there. It was mainly questions about followers, and what would happen to people next week, or what they'd be in the future. It was hard to do for some of them because I'd have to deliver some bad news about what would happen to them, their friends, or family. But the one question I could not seem to get out of my head was that one about the government hiding something from us. I said that they were hiding many things, but I had no idea as to what that could mean. I had no time to think about that now, I had to focus on my class work.
Another hour passed by, 50 more questions flooded my inbox. Most of them about followers and that type of stuff. "Hey Talia, what type of questions are you getting?" asked Derek as he and Aaron approached us in the hallway on the way to third period. "You know, 'how many followers am I gonna have by this day' and 'What will happen to me at this time'." I said. "Ugh, that's boring." he replied. I nodded my head, "But earlier we got a question that asked if our government was hiding anything from us." I said. Derek and Aaron looked at me confused. "Well what did you say?" Aaron asked. I showed them both what the message I sent had said and told them about the encounter with Max that Gene and I had afterward. They both had look of shock. But just then I got a message from that same person. The message said, "Is the moon landing fake?" and I couldn't stop myself when typing, "Yes."
