Yes, hi. I am Zaina, and I am not 12… but now I am.
I don’t remember anything.
I’m not an astronaut. I am just a normal student.
Yes, that’s all.
See you the next day.

Next Day
It’s the next day. Something strange happened.
I found a rocket in my spot.
Nobody was inside the rocket, but there were restaurant menus and customs papers.
I saw a screen inside the rocket, and a video started.
The video said:
“Hi. Now you are in the rocket. You don’t remember anything, and I’m so sorry. Please don’t be angry. I can’t say her name, but she found you and put you in the rocket. I will explain later. See you.”
Then another voice shouted:
“Please be quiet until we come—”
Suddenly:
“HAHAHAHAHA!”
Another voice:
“What are you doing?! Stop! Simon, STOP!”
Then:
“Aylin, NO!”
Screen cuts to black.

Later
I woke up at home and the rocket was gone.
I heard voices:
“Why are you human?”
“Yes— oh okay.”
“And what are you doing today? Are you okay?”
“System loading…”
“Okay, see you later. I have to go.”
Then silence.
Zaina was just drinking water.
The end.
