Marty looked around the empty classroom. He checked his watch again. It was still 7:10. He got up and made sure the sign was still hanging outside the door. After verifying that, he went back to his seat and checked his watch again. It was now 7:11. He couldn’t believe he was the only person on all of campus that wanted to be a part of this club. He had put the meeting notice on all the school’s social media sites. Everyone had to know by now that the interest meeting was scheduled to start at 6:30. He looked over to the front table where two pizzas were getting cold. He wasn’t hungry anymore but decided to grab a slice. He opened the box that was the veggie lovers and took a limp piece out and placed it on his paper plate, dropping half his toppings back into the cardboard coffin it came from. He was about to reach back in to get his remaining spoils when the door opened.
Marty spun around so fast that his pizza slice slid off the plate and landed cheese side down on the floor. The woman who had entered was dressed all in black. Her black makeup contrasted perfectly with her perfectly enhanced pale complexion. She was a fallen angel, sent to him to give him the courage to move forward, he was certain for that.
The fallen angel looked around at the empty room. “Is this the anime club?”
Marty blinked his eyes as he watched his waves of hope crash on the rocks of despair. “No. This is the interest meeting for the future world dominators. It’s a club I was trying to start up.”
The fallen angel finally noticed the kamikaze pizza slice bleeding out grease on the industrial tile floor. “You have pizza?”
Marty pointed at the boxes on the table behind him. “Lots.”
A smile bloomed on her face. “Sign me up!” She walked past Marty to get to the pizza.
Right then Marty knew one day he would take over the world with her at his side.
