We have completed the paperwork. I did extremely well on interview and now it's time to meet my new classmates. That's what is in my mind right now. Thanks to Mutek government for allowing us to join our counterparts and lern as one.
Let me recap what happened so that you may understand and have sense of what's life used to be back then and how it's going to be from now henceforth. I'm not much of a storyteller so I'll make it quick, promise.
Long ago , before our grandfathers could gain enough knowledge,all the people in our community came into an agreement. They decided to split genders into separate due to cultural, political and social imbalance. Women had took over all the most powerful positions while men provided labour and children.
There had been ten consecutive female presidents for the past years. CEOs , Bankers, pilots, tech-gurus, parliament and other major careers 82.4% was dominated by them. Counts of billionaires was 2:17 with men to women respectfully. Legends do tell that men weren't in control of anything, they weren't superior in bed also. Grandpa said that being powerless affects manhood, that I had no idea of.
Men started to demonstrate demanding at least a fifth gender equality. That wasn't much but women couldn't give up that much power. They had tasted how it feels to lead .
It was said out loud by women and whispered by men that woman were more ruthless and fiance in bed. Men had started running away at nights to avoid unquenchable desire women had. This lead to widespread of 'Riders' . These were men employed by women for pleasure. They were to remain home,eat healthy and do whatever their master requested. That's what led to men's revolution.
Army and military was dominated by men . It only needed a strong man to stand up and lead them to war against women. King , as legends call him, decided to be front-man in the fight. He called out all men to take anything fit to be a weapon and demonstrate. They striked down lots of female based businesses from restaurants, Malls, medical centers, stalls and anything on their way. That was the highest loss the country recorded .
That didn't make women to agree with them. They -men- addressed the public that by next week on the same day,if nothing happens they would start bombing. For the next few days it was quite . Some women seemed to have bought it but still the big-ladies up the ladder were quite. They were confident that man would calm down eventually.
Agreed day, the president was taken hostage and the then government was revolutionized. King took the leadership and started capturing any woman siding with the former president's government. That really worked pretty well.
By one month women agreed to share the power. Now man was on the top and wasn't interested in that no more. After a long sitting of men only parliament members they came with a solution. Girls born in the year 2525 upward-three years later - were to be differentiated from boys. They were to attend different schools with different curriculum. Boys were to major in leadership, commerce, production among other power points. Girls were to learn simple causes like farming, teaching-for aspiring women teachers , catering and home science. They were to have a 1:14 share in governance and not higher than county governor.
They didn't take it well at first but after recognizing that man wasn't backing down even an inch they took it. That generation came to be as planned by the King and although they had tough time starting all went well after adoption.

Grandpa was among first products of the new era My grandma was a teacher while grandfather grew up to be a Bank manager . He worked his ass off as he said to get where he is now. After retirement he left it to dad since he's the only son he got . He gave his daughters nothing but education as the King government requested . That was simple thing to do back then , but before he died he was full of regrets .
Father was willing to give 40% of his shares to the bank to his two sisters now that the government is allowing it. That's more than grandpa gave him that time when he took on the business. He was a teenager forced by his father's desire to learn all operations going on in and out of the bank .
He didn't have time to go to school: meet some cool friends, parties, play games or even get his ankle twisted. He learnt all grandpa wanted him to know. He even married the girl he saw every day in the office, coming to pick up her dad. She was daughter to one of grandpa's close associates. She's beautiful now and father says she was even more when she was young. I love her, she's the best mom I could ever get.
Dad used to stare at her as she walked in and out of the bank. He was behind the glass, he could see her but she couldn't. Those was what gave him motivation to go to work every single day. It took almost four years for her to see his face but to him she was his best friend and soulmate.
They met by accident in his father's office one afternoon. She came sooner than expected. He had her earliest and late time to come well in his mind. The moment he saw her in person he froze but she didn't bother to ask say a word to him. She only took a long look at him, from head to toe. She seemed to like what she saw . They were introduced that same day by my grandpa. She was called Lilly which he knew from the first time she appeared. He heard someone call her. That's all about my dad and mom since after introductions both parents wrote down their future. They married to an arranged marriage but they had love. She came to love him back within some few weeks and the pair became inseparable.

Now , girls and boys have a chance to work together , learn together, play games together and most importantly school together. It will be awkward but soon we will adjust. That's my thought right now as I head to the girl's class .
