Flight Plans
Cello can't take this anymore. She hated this mad world she stuck
in. Damon became her light, but it wasn't enough anymore. Cello
grabbed her head.
“Gah! I can't take this anymore!” she cried. “I
have to get out of here!”
“Something wrong?” Makoto asked. Cello gritted her
teeth.
“No,” she lied. The girl heavily breathed in as she
dropped her hands. This won't change, will it? Cello frowned.
She had no choice.

“What do you want to do after high school?” her
counselor asked the next day. Cello shrugged.
“I don't know,” she said. The counselor raised her
eyebrow.
“You don't know?” she asked. Cello shook her head.
“I want to get away from here,” she said.
“There's nothing for me here.”
“What college do you want to go to?” the counselor
asked.
“I don't know.”
“Are you going to work when you finish school?”
“I don't know.”
“What about career aspirations?”
Cello frowned. “I don't know.” She watched the
counselor take more notes. The pen movements made on her notepad.
Then came that question.
“What do you want to do with your life?” the woman
asked. Cello stared at her with big eyes.
“I… I don't know,” she mumbled. Cello looked down
at the coffee table.
“How can you leave home without a plan?” the counselor
asked. Cello played with her hands.
“I have to get out of here! They are driving me crazy!”
she said. “I have to get out of there!”
“What?” the counselor asked. Cello leaned across the
table.
“I'm afraid I'll snap!” she said. “I can't take
it anymore! I have to get out! I have to! Please? Can't you help
me?” The poor girl grabbed the counselor by the hands.
“Uh…” the woman said, blinking. Cello gave her
puppy dog eyes for good measure. The counselor sighed.
“There's only so much I can do…” she said. The
girl stared at her.
“Okay,” the counselor said. “I'll help
you!” Cello perked up as she hugged the stressed woman.
“Thank you!” she cried. “Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” The
counselor had a look of unease on her face. What did I just
agree to? A sweat drop formed on her head.
