Chapter 23: Power
*Columbia, South Carolina - University of South Carolina*
Jamie finished the rest of the class on the first day, he seemed like he felt like he was free without his family when he could do his own thing for the journey. When he went to the smoothie place to order strawberry kiwi and pineapple mix he was waiting for it. He went outside and sat on the chair before taking out the book to discuss more things about the assignments he teaches science with a major. Meanwhile, one student walked over to Jamie and sat right in front of him when the student mentioned him and went to the same class with him. A student named is, Clara Morgan.
Clara: Hey. Are you teaching a good scientist?
Jamie: I certainly am. I gotta getcha head in the game when I've become a real man.
Clara: To be honest, this assignment will be super hard.
Jamie: The abilities could be real at some point. I've been teaching the community since then.
Clara: Interesting. I gotta admire the dealing of scientists. Sometimes, I was smarter to do biology for one day, once I created some cool things to design.
Jamie: For your project?
Clara: Yeah exactly.
Jamie: It looks like my order is ready. *stands up and goes back inside*
Clara: *follows him* I was going to come over here so that we can hang out. I'm not even nervous when I am surrounded to be with a friend.
Jamie: Look, I don't know your name.
Clara: I don't know yours either in my entire life. I've been counting on you this time.
Jamie: You want some, too?
Clara: Nope.
Jamie: You just came here to see me, right?
Clara: Yeah. I'm just discussing it with all my classmates.
Jamie: *hearing*
Clara: I was the last one to discuss.
Jamie: You're fucking lucky.
Clara: Speaking of discussion, I'll walk you around to explain about this town.
Jamie: OK.
Jamie and Clara take a walk around the town until they walk over the train track they begin to walk there after Clara explains to him about South Carolina and whether she lives in the same place.
Jamie: Are you telling me right now you lived in SC?
Clara: What's SC?
Jamie: South Carolina. That's the reason why I was born in Oregon. Like I'm in a living hell.
Clara: Why, because is your family dysfunctional?
Jamie: Sometimes. Gladly, I am out of here to do my business so I can take care of it. I always pushed myself back and forth whenever I was going in a different direction.
Clara: Ok...? Well, for some reason, I should pushed myself too. Here, let's take a seat right in front of the building at the station we're in the middle of nowhere.
Jamie: *walking to the station and sits on the bench next to Clara* Wait a minute, are we taking a train?
Clara: No. I just want to show you something real quick before we bounce. *takes out something in her bag and shows him test tubes and weighing scale*
Jamie: How did you get the weighing scale? This shit is costing a lot of money.
Clara: My dad gave this to me before I left.
Jamie: *nods*
Clara: Look, even where I lived in South Carolina, I'm from London. That I know you hear my voice is a little different.
Jamie: You're the British, right?
Clara: Yeah.
Jamie: This station turns small, have you ever been taking a train before?
Clara: I took a tram.
Jamie: So do I.
Clara: *sees the schedules collecting and takes one of them out and opens it*
Jamie: *looking at it*
Clara: Amtrak. That is the name of the railroad company.
Jamie: I've heard of that. I'd usually take a road trip to a different city.
Clara: Here's New York City at the end of the line.
Jamie: My best friend goes there in New York City. I'd just seen another station cause it says, Savannah. In another town in Georgia. Another best friend goes to Atlanta. Finally, Newark when my other friends go there too. It was so close to getting to New York. We grew up in Oregon. We used to be best friends in the same circle.
Clara: I bet you have a lot of friends.
Jamie: Well, not many of them.
Clara: You will get more than friends while you are in college.
Jamie: I figured as much, Clara.
Clara: I'm pretty sure you figured it out, Jamie. Come on, let's get out of here.
Jamie: Let me hold the schedule.
Clara: *gives it to him with the train schedule*
Jamie and Clara headed on the bus and returned to the university. While on the bus, Jamie is looking at the view from the university place when he seems to be this place looks alright. However, he tried to take a chance to stay in South Carolina because he wanted to go to a better place in California. Meanwhile, two unknown persons are in the same car as they working on the book to draw a red circle on two people are Jamie and Clara are in the picture to make sure whenever it gets ready to capture them.
