Lacy’s remote

Lacy was far from the most popular girl in school. It was almost like she was invisible. It didn’t help that she rarely spoke and typically wore a black hoodie with black jeans. She actually enjoyed being “invisible” this meant she could people watch easier and often over heard a lot gossip.

Lacy was part of the robotics team which meant she typically stayed after school with Gary and Lee. She didn’t hate them, they were too shy to ever say a lot to her so they left off to work on her part alone while she endured listening to them argue about which fictitious character would win in a fight. Their chaperon Mr. Wade would be there for the first 5 minutes then disappeared for an hour.

Lacy went into the storage closet to get a some hardware one afternoon and she knocked over a heavy toolbox. WHen she bent over to pick it up she noticed the tile had shifted. There was something underneath it. She pushed the tile aside and exposed what appeared to be a safe.

It was dusty and covered in dirt like no one had used it in years. She tried opening the door but it was locked. Lacy got the impulse to rotate it one digit and try again and to her surprise it worked!

Inside the safe was controller and nothing else. It looked like a TV remote from the future. But it was worn, like someone had spent a lot of time using it. None of the buttons were labeled. There were only a few buttons on the remote and none of them were labeled. However there was one very large button that appeared to be most worn in the middle of it.

Lacy clicked it but nothing appeared to happen. She decided to keep the remote. She hid the safe again and walked back to her work area. The dorks probably hadn’t even noticed she had left.

Lacy made it back to her desk just in time. She almost missed her favorite part. She sat by a window overlooking the practice fields. Which meant Lacy got a front row view of the most athletic students jogging out to practice and her favorite back to the locker rooms. She loved when they were all sweaty and some of them took off their shirts.

It was football season. Her least favorite sport but the easiest eye candy, they were always quick to walk around in their tights and no shirts.

*CLUNK!*

Lacy jumped out of her trance of lusting over the football team when the remote slipped out of her packet landing hard on the ground. She reached down and grabbed it quickly before the guys noticed and asked her about it.
