On the other side of the school was someone else who was directly affected by The Cloud. This person remembered how things were supposed to be, but also felt like this new reality was normal, even though the person knew that it was not.
By coincidence, it was the school's other Sarah....Sarah Taylor. Sarah Taylor was one of the most serious girls in school.
But not anymore. She'd woken up this morning wondering if it was worth it. Her interest level had dropped significantly since then.
It had been easy to fake as if she understood what was going on...almost too easy. But as she got to school and discovered things were different there too, she'd grown increasingly bored with classes. She was more interested in other things. She had stuff she wanted to do, and while she didn't know what it was yet, none of it was being taught in class.
