*5 years ago(Ben was 16)*
Kevin, Taylor, and I are going out for what my sisters' call a 'Boy's day out', they are so weird. The three of us were flailed out on my bed waiting on my sister, Hannah, to finish primping so she could drop us off in town, my father doesn't trust me enough to drive so I have to wait on my sister to drive me everywhere.
"Dude, this really blows" Kevin finally said
"Yeah, you need to stop drinking so your dad will trust you more, your sister takes forever to do anything." Taylor agrees with anything anybody says.
"You pop pills like Tic Tacs" Kevin said, I'm know for putting my pills in Tic Tac containers…
"Yeah I know, but it's not that easy" I hate when people bother me about my habits
"Just quit, it's not that hard" I ignored Kevin and looked at my hands like the held the answer to my problems, if only that were true.
I heard a knock on my door "Kay guys, I'm ready" ah, perfect timing.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm outta here." I said getting up and opened the door
"Your room is too prefect Benny" Hannah said looking into my room, she knows how I despise the name 'Benny'
"Ah, but you see, it's a reflection of my self" I said putting my hands behind my head
"What ever" she said then went down the stair way, I laughed.
"Walk this way ladies" I said with a bit of fem in my voice, putting my left hand on my hip and my right in the air in a flippant way and started down the stairs.
I looked behind me"Excuse me bitches, but I said 'walk this way'" shaking my hips and hand. The two guys cracked up
"Kevin says he'll be your bitch tonight, right Kev?" Taylor said his face red from laughter. Everybody knows Kevin is gay; we just like to bug him.
"I don't know, Ben's so hammered sometimes, I don't think he'd notice the difference" Kevin said
"So, are you admitting to having gay sex, Kev?" I asked with a smug look on my face
"Shut up…Benny boy"
" WOW! That's some come back, not."
"oh fuck you" Kevin said
"Oh what's the matter, your pussy's having a bad day?" Taylor said between laughs
"Come on guys, get in the car" Hannah said when we reached the front door.
The drive was pretty quite, beside the random out bursts coming from Taylor trying to be funny.
When we finally reached the middle of town, Hannah turned off the car and we all got out.
"So, Kevin, how's your pussy feeling now" I asked, trying to sound serious…and failing.
He swung at me and I dodged"you missed dude" Shit! I let my guard down for a moment and he punch me in the nose. I bent down holding my nose and Kevin stood in front of me
"No I d…" I grabbed his legs before he could finish and yanked his feet out from underneath him.
"Ow, ow, ow ,ow, ow" somebody had a hold on my braid, it was Hannah.
"What the hell was that about?!" She yelled
"We were just bustin' his balls, jez" I said
"You guys are a bunch of jerks"
"What ever, go do your fem thang" I don't even know what she has to do, but to be quite frank, I don't care.
As the three of us walked down the street, Kevin was trying everything he could to stop his glasses from fogging up. Kevin is human, Taylor and I only talk to him during Christmas break, he doesn't know we're dhampirs that are training to be moroi guardians, he just thinks we get sent to a private school because our parents hate us. I hate lying to him but I hate a lot about myself, the drinking and the pills. my father doesn't know about the pills, I think he would freak if he found out. Some times I just want to be normal, go to a normal school and have a normal girlfriend and normal parents, but sometimes normal doesn't seem like its all cracked up to be, I mean Kevin could be considered normal, besides the gay part.
I shoved my hands into my pockets and asked "So, what do you guys want to do, because so far I'm bored"
"We could go to the gym" Taylor suggested while wiggling his eyebrows
"We could…" I said looking at Kevin, he seems pretty…frail, he don't have much beef at all, I was surprised he could punch as hard as he did.
"What?!?!" he said automatically defensive "You don't think I can work out"
"Well… OW!"Taylor started but I stomped his foot before he could say more. Kevin shoved in front of us and headed for the gym.
We walked in to the gym and I shot a wink at the girl behind the counter she giggled, I know I shouldn't flirt with humans but it has advantages.
I pealed off my jacket, it really wasn't that cold to me, I could've just went with a sweater…
Taylor whistled and rubbed his hands together "That has to be a dhamp girl" pointing at a brunette girl on the treadmill, she's been one since we walked in and hasn't even broke a sweat. She noticed us looking and winked, that's my opening. I strode right up to her, she turned off the machine and I handed her a towel.
"Thanks, you must be Ben" she said lightly
"Well, well, well, my name gets around fast" I said slyly
"I've heard much about you dhampir" she said putting her hands on her hips
I went to put my hand on hers but she slapped it away "No! You're a total player" and walked away
"It's good to know I'm loved" I muttered
"Dang dude, you just got burned. Hey maybe I have a chance" Taylor said then ran after the girl
Kevin walked up to us, cherry red and sweaty "Hey, you guys wanted to come here and all you did was flirt"
I quickly hopped on to the treadmill and turned it on "See, I'm running…well walking" it wasn't going very fast. An evil grin slid onto his face, he quickly turned the speed up, HIGH
"Oh, fuck" I said under my breath
*20 minutes later*
"Okay dude, this isn't funny" I panted out, all I could see was a blur of Kevin filing his nails, if I tried to turn down the speed then the treadmill would flip me out on the floor and if I jumped more than likely the same thing would happen plus the machine had no handles to hold onto, so in reality I'm at the mercy of a gay guy doing his nails.
"BLOODY HELL! KEVIN!!!!" I think my legs are going to die. Taylor was a few machines down laughing to death "Taylor!!!!! This isn't funny"
*Ten minutes later*
"Guys?!?!" I squeaked my voice was cracking from lack of oxygen. I heard a girl laughing from behind me
"Ouff" I rammed into the head of the treadmill, the girl that was at the counter turned the machine off.
"WOW, talk about stamina" she laughed, I didn't have the energy for a witty come back. I flopped off the treadmill onto the floor and just laid there, trying to get my wind back.
"Oh, I'm sorry I forgot about you" Kevin said in fake shock, I pulled out my tic tac container of pills and threw two in my mouth and swallowed them dry.
"Your messed up dude, stop taking them" Taylor said kicking me in the side, nausea washed over me and I rushed to the locker room and vomited in the closest trash can. I walked over to the sink and rinsed out my mouth then looked at my reflection. I looked like bloody hell, my skin pale and blotchy, and my eyes blood shot. I lifted my shirt up and glanced and my abdomen, I was really skinny, if it wasn't for the muscles streaming under my skin I would look emaciated, I can't remember the last time I ate either. I heard the door open, I pushed my shirt down and leaned against the sink, trying to look like nothing was wrong when everything was wrong….
