Just scenarios, no plots

“Aki, your friends are calling!” my sister shouts from across the room.

“Coming!” I respond rushing to get on call.

** line connects **

“There she is”

“Aki!”

“What took you so long?”

My friends bombarded me with questions. This was one of our rare ‘online sleepover’ that started during the COVID 19 pandemic.

It’s moments like this that make me feel alive, that makes life seem so simple.

“Wait where’s Apollo?” Zel asked, one of my oldest friends since nursery.

“It’s 7pm Zel, Apo’s at school.” Mary rolls her eyes setting up her computer. Mary, Apo & I met in 7th Grade but the two have been best friends since elementary.

“What time is it in New Jersey? Like, 7am?” Alysa joined the call. Friend since 8th Grade

“Google says yes” Mikai answered. My cousin

** line connects ** “Hello hello bitches” Rai’s voice echoed. “Ayo Aki where’s Roze” she added.

“On call with Kyle”

“Ew, nevermind.”

All the sudden Zel claps his hand loudly. “Alright! Most of us are here, screw Apo. What movie we watching?”

“Anything but horror please” Mary sighed.

“Whatever you guys want” Rai & Mikai shrugged.

“We could go for thriller” I answered.

“No suggestions then? Alright— we’re watching King’s Game” Zel said sharing his screen.

NMTBTS Entry No.01

not meant to be taken that seriously entry no.01

Our media is so hellbent on portraying Gen Z teens as proactive and so highly politically aware that they become so suffocating. It’s frankly annoying whenever I watch new movies and the teen always has to either be gay or just such a proactive “you know that X people die every second and you throwing that [random item] on the ground will kill X more”

NOT that having gay teens are annoying but sometimes they just randomly throw in an LGBTQ+ plot line that could easily be removed. I love the representation and I do think we need more of it BUT i do hope that they actually get to be someone who contributes to the actual show/movie and not just thrown in to show a diverse cast.

I know that most of this generation is aware of social issues— even political or global scales but come on in the end they are still teens. They have literal priorities like school and have more growing up to do than just joining a random rally each scene they’re in.

Teens aren’t hellbent on sex, drugs or changing the world— they’re mostly just focus on getting through the damn day, finishing each day of school, passing class & hanging out with their friends.

I miss actual movies and shows that’s about growing up. I miss the actual coming of age genre! I know drugs, sex and alcohol are the new reality for teens in most countries but goddamn I need a story about just regular ass group of friends growing up together without forming romantic relationships between each other. One that explores different realities and aren’t just “im a straight A student!” or “i’m an average student but now i am smart!” or another “im so depressed i want to sksksks myself but good thing my friends are here- yay power of friendship!”

I need regular ass people that grow together, learn together and go through their own life problems other than romance and being boy/girl crazy.
