"Normal Dialogue"
"Character Thoughts"
"Imagination/Flashback"
The light filtered through the dusty windows of Dakota High School, bodies colliding whispering secrets to each other, through unnoticed body language, but of course I noticed, there was barely anything I don't notice anymore. Not since the "Big Bang" nothing has been the same, not since I came from the doctor's office knowing that I wasn't the same, that there was now an extra part in me that I was able to carry children. I was a freak, nothing anyone could say could change that fact, only I needed to come to terms with it, I told Richie, but nothing really bothers him. He was surprised but he would still be my friend. I've become so aware now. Aware of the fact that I am in love with the one person who hurts me the most, aware that avoiding him makes me want to see him more, risking my life in the process. I', also aware that when I see him my heart fill so much that I burst with happiness, that is until he sees me then it turns to dread, and excitement. I'm a freak I know, but it's my secret to keep. lastly I'm aware that I've changed, much more than being able to have children, I have the ability to shape electricity like an artist, that I can save the world, redeem myself for my faults. I wanted to make everything better, to protect those close to me and change me for the better, but that's not how it went, I changed my life...
It started on Monday, the "Big Bang" had happened on Friday, so it was time for me to go back to school, but this "Dance" was coming up and Richie really wanted to ask Freda before someone else did. I really wasn't all into all that stuff, usually me and Richie went together but this year he wanted to take her so I wasn't going. Richie and I walked down the hall, hoping to run into Freda, so Richie could [pop the question, she would be posting posters for the dance at the bulletin board if we were on time. Richie spotted her before I did and sent me a nervous smile, before I nodded and mouthed "go for it." he turned and took a breath before walking towards her to ask her the question, but before he could get more than a "Hi." out he was interrupted by someone else. I looked up to see HIM, my crush, steering Freda towards the lockers like a cat boxing a mouse into a corner. Francis, he looked really good, he had been looking a little pale a few days ago when I had been running away from him; away from him; not into him; away from him after the "Incident". I had been avoiding him since. I was pulled out of my memories by the odd conversation going on in front of me, or should I call it an awkward approach?
"Hey Freda..." Francis whispered into Freda's ear, "Looking good... smell good too!" he pushed himself into her face too close for her comfort and I saw him peek over at me and smirk. The Ass! Jealously coursed through my veins, making my sense leave as quickly a child's happiness after they drop their ice cream cone. I smiled cruelly, he may think that he was taking my girl from me, but he didn't know, it wasn't her I wanted, too bad cause I didn't like the way he was all up on Freda. I sauntered up to Francis; watching as a satisfied smile dawned his face.
"Step off Francis, evidently you need to brush p in body language 101, her's says not in this life time." I laughed... How would he react to that? I was so proud of myself, that id didn't even notice, the lust and anger plash on Francis face. Then I knew I should have ignored him, I should have just stayed back. He started at me for a second before he noticed all the people looking at us and his face angrily flushed. He then looked at me like he was contemplating how many ways he would kill me. He raised his hand while frowning and said, "I wonder if your face can understand what my fist says."
I was scared, so scared in fact that I was frozen to the floor, like someone had cemented my feet there, my fear was holding me captive in horrid fascination waiting for the pain to come. I stood there waiting for it, but I opening my tightly closed eyes to find a hand crushing Francis's fist. My protector was here Wade. He was like a brother to me, some people thought that I and he were in a relationship because of the seriousness of his protection he gave me, but he knew, wade new my problem the love I had for Francis, but he didn't approve of him.
"We have a problem here Francis?" wade asked throwing his hand out of his grip. There was no way Francis could win a fight with Wade, Wade was way, bigger and much more experienced in fighting, Francis would go down like a brick. Francis rubbed his hand and shook his head.
"Naw... Wade, me and Virgil were just playing..." Francis smiled as he said these words looking at me, not Wade, he was unfazed of Wade's threat and was sending me a message... this was not over; he would get me sooner or later.
"Catch you later Virgil..." he whispered as he walked past me. I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding and turned to Wade who was frowning.
"Virgil..." he whispered scratching his bald head, "Virgil, I know you have some feelings for Francis, but you gotta stop running into Francis, Francis is looking for street credit and he seems hell-bent on earning it through you! A sick guy like that..." he paused, "there is no telling what he would do to you once he got his hands on you." Wade look at me worried, " I got Football practice today Virgil... why would you pick today of all days to mess with Francis, I can't walk you home today... can you watch your back? Maybe you can wait for me?" I looked at him, I couldn't stay that long, his practice was until nine pm, I needed to be at home at least at five pm. after that my father would call the police and a lot of drama happens.
"I can't Wade..., but I can watch my own back, and I got Richie to help me, I'll be fine..." I reassured him, trying to trick myself into believing that lie; I really hope that, it would turn out to be true.
"Come on Richie! You can't be serious!" I practically yelled. Richie had gotten the guts to ask Freda about the dance during lunch earlier that day, and she had accepted, but they needed time to plan, and to get to know each other better, so they had a date... FOR TODAY AFTERSCHOOL! I had the most dangerous student at our school after me in the worst way and my back up was going on a date! He was probably going to be making out with her while I lay bleeding in some backyard alley! Jesus! What was I gonna do?
"Richie!" I whispered feverishly not caring the odd looks that were being sent our way, "You're going to go on a date while I die at the hand of Francis?"
he looked at me sympathetic but wasn't going to change his mind," I'm sorry Virg, but this is our only chance to get ready for the dance..." I wanted to scream "bros before hoes" or " where's friendship when you need it" but I knew that he was excited about them being together, and I wanted them to be together, and with, Freda being busy with school related thing and Richie dealing with the electronics club neither really had a free day. I sighed this was what I got for being an understanding friend, if this was me and Francis I wouldn't want to miss it either.
"It's okay... I'm sure I won't run into him... I don't think I offended him that bad" I said shrugging my shoulders," but I better get going if I wanna get home before five." Richie looked concerned and grabbed my shoulder, but I brushed him off and walked away, I was angry with him leaving me by myself, but I wasn't to happy about it either, I hoped that the last words I said to him wouldn't be my last. It didn't take me long to get into my normal pace and quickly hurry down the streets of Dakota city, it was starting to get cloudy showing chances of it raining and I didn't want to be outside during it, I wanted to be warm under my covers thinking how thing would be different if Francis wasn't my bully and loved me. When I was about three blocks away from my house I felt a chill run down my spine, and looked up to find Francis looking at me, leaning against a lamp post at the edge of the block. I stood there for a second like a deer in headlights, and shuddered, the way Francis looked at me confused me, he looked like he wanted to rip out my spinal cord and take me to bed at the same time, and it was scary... My body filled with dread, and I felt my palms sweat, shit! I had almost made it to my house. Crap! How did he know where to cut me off?
"Hey Virgil..." He drawled making every word much longer than it should be, "What luck..." he pushed himself off of the lap post and advanced towards me like a slithering snake intent on his prey.
"I'm picking up where we left off, chump and if I remember, I was going to do something to you that you were not going to like..." he laughed it making my skin crawl and he thundered towards to and I finally caught the sense to finally run. Francis barked out a cruel laugh that made me think he was hoping I would run and let out a whoop of excitement as his face flushed with anticipation, he wanted to catch me, to make his prize so much sweeter. The chase was on, I ran not even caring to keep a moderate pace, if I just gunned it and found a place to hide he wouldn't find me and I could caught my breath before making my way home. I was trying not to panic, when a gut wrenching pain made me trip and double over. It was here again, I guess it wasn't over, my body was still trying to get used to being part female, but why now of all times couldn't it had waited until I was safe at home? I gasped and curled into a ball, it felt like a fiery knife was being plunged into my gut every time I took a breath, I needed to get up before he caught up. When I moved, that pain increased and I got to my knees placing my head on the cold ground, and my arms around my stomach. I heard his footsteps and tried to get up, before he got close enough to grab me and only succeeded in hissing in pain and helping him find me, he pushed me over onto my back and looked down at me with a blank face. He was assessing me, trying to figure out what he was going to do with me. Then his smiled, and I knew I wasn't going to like it. I was angry while I was hurt and gasping for air, he was completely composed without a hair out of place, damn prick! He was playing with me letting me think that I could get away but knowing that at any time he could just get serious and it would all be over.
"He Virgil..." he whispered bending down so that his breath tickled my skin and cradled my cheek in his hand forcing me to make eye contact with him." I'm gonna give you two choices..." He smiled," One; I could drag you into that alley over there..."he said pointing to a dirty infested alley," and beat you to your last breath, leaving you there to die, or..." He paused pulling me up closely, "You can come with me and possibly live... just possibly." he smiled he knew what I was going to say, who in their right mind wouldn't take the second choice? because I was already having problems with my breathing I put up two of my fingers, then out one down to give him " the finger" he smiled finding humor in the situation where I couldn't, and grabbed me by the waist pulling me into his strong arms, and laying me against his hard chest. For a few minutes I imagined him my white prince taking me to his kingdom where he would marry me and make me a princess, but I didn't want to be a princess I was a man, well, I looked like a man and I needed to get away from him so that I could find a way to get away before I was hurt more than I was ever before. I placed my head against his chest thinking of possible ways to escape, but then I was dropped onto a big soft bed, my eye popped open and I took in all the surroundings, I was in a apartment, not a great one, but a decent one, there was only one room, I could see the kitchen, the bathroom, and his desk in the corner otherwise there were no other furniture, that was probably why her had so much free time to torture me, he had no computer or TV. the boy needed o find a new hobby I was in deep thought that I was seriously surprised to find a half- naked Francis blocking my view, I whimpered, was the beating going to start soon? Why was he naked? What the hell was going to happen?
