Sonia couldn’t believe it..
A job offer, an actual job offer from the founder of the factory himself, in person.
It was all her wildest dreams come true.
She’d thought for sure she’d screwed up, been caught in the kitchens without permission or something. She was absolutely sure that they were going to send her to reception because her own lottery number had been pulled or something like that… but no… she wasn't going to get to go here only one time… she was going to get to go to this wonderland every workday for the rest of her life. Whether that would be a long one or short one was yet to be seen. This was the opportunity of a lifetime.

Sonia walked out of the office with her head in the clouds. This had been the best day ever. She held the paper with the official offer between her hands and the boxed skull of her best friend. Claire sidled up to her, and Kimberly shadowed her to form a little clique of three.
“Cool.. they even let you keep Jessica’s skull… that’s wicked awesome….”
Sonia noticed a white paper clasped between Claire's hands too. Claire seemed to notice the same thing about Sonia
“Wait, you too? I thought me and Kimberly were the only crazy ones…. I know volunteering to get yourself snuffed isn’t exactly normal… but man, the way you slit Jessica was so metal. She squirmed like a pig up there.. I came so hard. It was so hot. I wanna die like that too. Claire blushed cutely as she revealed her masochistic side for the first time to her friends.

Kimberly flushed red too and squeaked
“I … I don't deserve to live.. I’ve always been a waste of oxygen. I just want someone to cut off my head quickly.” She admitted.
“Um, girls… it’s a mistake… this isn’t a volunteer form at all.” She desperately tried to correct their misconception, showing them the page.
Their eyes widened as the saw the words JOB OFFER
“No fucking way” exclaimed Claire with barely hidden joy under her usual punk attitude. “ That's great Sonia… I always knew you had it in you”
“D-does that m-mean you might b-be the one t-to snuff my ass” Kimberly whimpered hopefully, her face turning a shade of red usually reserved for japanese anime,
“I’m supposed to start monday.. so I’ll probably be on duty by the time you file your paperwork and get called in. If I’m lucky I could be the one converting both of you sows into corpses.” Sonia bragged with a massive smile still plastered on her face.

“Sorry to burst your bubble girl… but I’m filling out my snuff preferences with a tick in the ‘dies with a cock in you’ checkbox…” Claire stated matter of factly. “But I bet Kim’s still on the table for you.” She laughed raucously as she grabbed them, both by the shoulders.
“We’ve totally got to go out on the town tonight and party like it's our last night on earth.” Claire exclaimed with her no holds barred regular attitude. Trying to drag the two of them. out the front doors of the establishment with her. They passed John on the way, and Sonia remembered that she had wanted to confess to him while they were still inside the factory. This was a special place for her, and she wanted to do it here.

John was reaching out to get her attention when she broke away from Claire.
“What’re you doing Sonia? We’re gonna go get smashed aren't we?” She said, trying to entice the class rep back.
“Sorry Claire, i got something important to do first.” She apologized to her.
“L-let it go Claire….it’s…. Important…” kimberly stuttered, realising what was about to happen well before Claire even had the faintest inkling.

John jogged up to Sonia and stood next to her expectantly..
“About what you were saying when we were standing by Jessica’s Taxidermy…”
“Forget about that John” Sonia said breathlessly. “It's not important.”
“Oh, ok.” John replied with the tone of a boy who thought that actually, it was pretty important, but had decided better of continuing his line of conversation. Instead he bit his tongue and let Sonia do all the talking.

“Look, today has been really great for me, and I know you’re a bit disappointed. You lost your crush, and the trophy, and i skipped out on you earlier… and when we did get to spend some time together, i said something silly, and got dragged away when I’m sure you were trying to say something important to me,” Sonia noted that John’s face was telling her that she’d hit right on the mark.

“You don’t need to tell me anything John. I’ve always been able to understand you clear as day, ever since we were kids. And I always want you to have all the things you want to have. So I’m going to give you Jessica’s skull to have… do you want that John?”

“T-thank you Sonia… it means the world to me.” He said, wiping away happy tears.
Sonia returned the smile, but hers was one of flirtatious seduction instead.

“Jessica was a greedy girl, John, I always put her needs above my own. But today, i
I've realized that I should take more initiative, cause life’s short. And I’ve realised I’m a greedy girl as well. And I want everything too. I want the perfect job, the perfect life, I want to snuff my best friend and I want her skull mounted on my wall, and I want to steal the boy she liked too. I want you John.

Claire squeed in the background, finally clicking with what was about to happen. She might act all rough around the edges, but she was a real softie when it came to romance.

Sonia leaned in, and before John could do anything, she had kissed him greedily on the lips.mat first he tried to jerk back in surprise, but as Sonia’s lips melted into his, he softened and kissed her back. She slipped her tongue in for a french kiss, and it was a long while before they broke away from each other.

“And I want that kiss.” She said to him like she’d conquered a nation on her own.

“Wow… you’re good at kissing too Sonia… is there anything you’re not good at?” John whispered, still flustered, and clearly besotted.
Sonia thought about it for a moment with mock sincerity.
“You know… I’m a virgin, so I don’t think I’m any good at getting men drunk at raging parties, taking them home, and riding them hard all night till they die of sexhaustion, and bearing their babies.” She said with her best cute class rep serious voice.

John’s mouth dropped wide, as did everyone else’s within hearing distance.
“… so, I guess I’m just going to need your help with the practical exam.” Sonia continued in her sweetest, most naive voice.

Claire leaned over to the nearest boy to her and grabbed him by the shoulder without breaking her eyes from Sonia and John.
“You… you’re coming with us tonight… that thing she said… we’re doing that too.” She said, clearly so horny her brain was breaking.
Kim sidled up and snuggled in between Claire and her new buddy and interjected…
“M-me t-too.. L-lets m-make it a T-thresome.”

Sonia grabbed John by the hand, and led him back out towards the bus that would take them back to the city, where they could go on their first date. It was moving fast, and Sonia was all for that after today. Sonia’s confession had given a lot of other girls the same idea… and it wasn’t long before a string of impromptu confessions had blossomed into dozens of new couples, whose relationships were moving at accelerated paces.
She giggled and whispered things into John’s ear as they walked.
Holding hands she asked him what sex positions he wanted to try out, where he wanted to mount Jessica’s skull, how many mistresses he desired, and how many babies he wanted.

He knew then that unlike most men who went through multiple wives thanks to the Dolcett system, he was going to be a kept man for life. Sonia was going to be the woman he married, and thanks to her exemption, she was going to be the one he grew old with.
He clasped her hand tighter, never wanting to let her go. She planted short kisses on his cheek, and when they got back into the bus, longer ones on his lips.
