Today, I was sitting in class taking notes, normal day with about 10 of us in the room. Then these two guys walk in late, which would be totally normal if not for the fact that none of us sitting inside had ever seen these guys before. They walked in, went toward the back and sat down like they owned the place. We all tried not to make sounds but we were all noticeably confused, including the professor. Poor guy tried to power through but then he couldn’t help himself and asked

“Excuse me, are you gentlement supposed to be in this class?”

“Yes, I never come to class”

“Did you hand in your exam?”

“No.”

They didn’t have backpacks or IDs and no names were exchanged. To make a long story short, they were asked to leave because teacher had a strong suspicion that they were lying. They then left quietly, without a fuss and then fucked off from the entire building and I guess went home.

I was so rattled that the last 18 minutes of class were torture. I kept expecting them to sprint back in with Uzis and that would be it. I hate living like this, something that would normally just be a weird interaction made me afraid for my life. I guess the real question is what the heck were they going to do if no one said anything? Just sit there quietly? Start making loud noises? Do a flash mob?

I may never know.

    I studied the history of Chile in sixth grade and found the whole “coup deposing Allende” business quite sus. 9/11 had happened recently (I’m older than many here) so I began to wonder if we were the baddies. It wasn’t until much later that I abandoned my liberalism, but those two things put me on a path I couldn’t get off of.
