I always enjoyed my Mythology class, we always got into deep discussion on the things we spoke about for that day, we covered all sorts of things, Mr Theobold was very passionate about it, and he said in his forensic classed, some murders couldn't always be explained and that sometimes he believed that things of mythology and nightmares existed, Many class members used to laugh at him, but as we got deeper into the year, he was convincing more and more of us, Me however, i was already convinced, I guess that's why i took the class.
I guess from the age of 15 was when i started to get heavily involved in monsters, ghosts and ghouls, I was sure they were the reason my mother died. from that night i read everything that i could get my hands on to understand them more, the reason they did the things they did. My first book that i read i actually found in the attic of our family home, It was my mothers, I found alot of my books in there, When i asked my father about it he told me she was interested in the supernatural. Studying this made me feel closer to her.
I got up and walked to Mr Theobold's desk
"Here you go Beth, I've copied all i have" He said, handing me a copy of the file
"Thanks, I'll get you a the photos of the journal when i get them" i said
Si and I left the class room and headed outside
"So where shall we go for lunch today?" Si asked
"I guess we could go off campus to the usual diner" I smiled
"Sounds good" he laughed
I grabbed my helmet
"Bike or Car?" I asked
"Oh I'll get my helmet, your bike is so much more sexy then my beat up, broken down, rust bucket of a car" he smiled
he jogged off to his car
I climbed onto my bike and shook my hair out of the ponytail, just as Si was running back over with his helmet
"You know Beth, if i didn't like the boys i would totally be into you" he smiled
"But guess its your loss that i do" he smiled
I laughed
"Get on before that head of yours gets any bigger" I smiled, as he put his helmet on
I could always have a joke with Si
He hopped on the back and held tight as i put my helmet on and started the engine
It roared into life and we pulled off campus and to the diner
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I stopped and put my feet down, letting Si climb off the bike first, I then climbed off and placed my helmet on my bike
"Oh new car" Si said
I looked to what he was pointing at, there the 67 Chevy Impala that i passed this morning sat parked
"I've seen that already today, two guys" I commented, unzipping my jacket slightly
"Ohhhh...two guys, maybe more of my kind are coming to this town" he joked
I laughed
We walked in and sat in a booth
"Beth, your being looked at" Si said
"Great which one of Glynda's followers are here today?" I asked
he looked around
"None of them, it's new guys" he said
I glanced over my shoulder
"Ha, that's the two who drive the Impala" I said looking at Si
"Impala?" he asked confused
"That's the make of the car you were looking at outside" i said
The waitress came over
"Beth, Simon, what would you like today" she smiled
"I'll have a burger and fries and a coke thanks Doris" I said
"Ohhh...me too sounds" Said Si
she wondered off and we continued the conversation
"How did you know what type of car that was" Si asked me
"Seriously?, it's a classic Si, it's a beautiful car" i said
Si smiled, then in a low voice said
"He liked you saying that, seems they are not my kind" he then said, sitting back in his seat
"What? who?" i said
"Tall, dark and rough" he said
"The car owner" he then continued
"And he is still looking at you" he smiled
"Before we leave, you should get his number" he smirked
"Si, stop being a buttmunch" i smiled
Our drinks and food arrived shortly after, and as we ate Si continued to give a commentary on what the guy was doing
"he has lovely eyes Beth" He said
"Hey if your so interested...." i started
"No, told you not Gay, you straight people might not be able to tell, but we know our own kind" he smirked
I laughed at him
"can't help but love you Si" i said
"I know, sweetie" he smiled

We finished our lunch and i looked at my watch
"We better get going, I'll pay today, my treat" i said standing up
I walked over to the counter and Doris served me
"Hey" I heard a deep voice say
I turned, there standing infront of me was Tall, dark and rough! he smiled at me,
"Hey" i replied handing the money to Doris
"Thanks Beth" she said
"Beth, nice name" Tall, dark and rough said,
"Thanks, do i get to know yours?" I asked turning to take my change
"Dean" he replied
"So is that your bike, or your boyfriends that you came on" he asked
"Mine, wait, boyfriend, Si is not my boyfriend" i said
"He's more into you then he is me" I smiled
Dean laughed
"Wait you passed us this morning" he said
"That was me" i said smiling
He handed over his money to Doris, still looking at me
"SO what brings you to our town?" I asked
"Wait you live here?" Dean asked
"Yer, why's that so hard to believe?" i said
"Well, everyone else we've spoken to today are well.....snobs, you just seem...."
"Normal" i finished his sentence
"Well yer" he replied
"Well I'm the black sheep of the town" i smiled
"Nice" he muttered
"so what does bring you to town?" I asked
"The recent Suicides" he said quietly
"Oh"
"You know something about them?" He asked
"They were both Friends of Mine" I replied
"Oh" he said
"Do you mind if we question you sometime about them?" He asked
"Umm....I guess, and before you ask it's not a suicide pact" I told him
"Pact! What?" he asked shocked
"Well the town, think its part of a suicide pact, it's not" I told him
"Hey Beth Sweetie, we gotta go to Class" Si said walking up to us
"Sorry to disturb you, but Beth, tick tock" he then said tapping his watch
"Yer, ok, Sorry, I'll talk to you some other time" I said
"Ok, well here's our number" holding out a card and pointing to another guy, who was sitting down but had turned in his seat to look at us. He had slightly longer hair and big puppy dog eyes
"Um...he's my brother, not....."
"Got it" i said smiling back and taking the number from his hand
"I'll Call" i said
Then Si and I walked outside to my bike
"He is totally checking you out Beth, you need to call him" Si told me
"It's to question me about Mike and Tess" I told him
"Oh what is he FBI, CIA....." he smiled
"I like a man in uniform" he chimed
"Dunno" i said climbing on the bike and waiting for Si to climb on
"Did you at least get a name?" Si asked, putting his hands on his hips
"Dean" i replied
"Good, so your not completely useless at getting a guy" Si said, climbing on and putting his helmet on
"Thanks" I muttered, Pulling my helmet on and starting the engine

Our second class went really slow, English Lit always did.
"My goodness, wasn't that mind Numbingly boring" Si said as we walked out to the parking lot
"I'll see you soon Si" I said, hugging him
"Oh ain't you got your Dad's exhibit tomorrow" He asked
"Yep, i get to spend the day with Glynda, Aren't i lucky?" I said
"Oh dear.....good luck with the wicked witch" He replied
He left for his car and i drove off home
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
As i drove through the town, i thought i would pop by Mikes Parents and see how they were coping, but as i got closer i saw the Impala
"I really don't want to be questioned right now" I thought and continued on home
I walked through the door and walked straight to the fridge
"Oh Ben and Jerry, my good friends" i said pulling a tub of Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream from the freezer then grabbing a spoon from the drawer
I took off my leather jacket and flung it on the sofa, I flopped down and unzipped my boots, putting my feet on the table infront then opened the tub of ice cream,
"Happiness may not be at the bottom of a bottle, but for me, it is at the bottom of an ice cream tub" i smiled, digging my spoon in and taking a mouthful
I reached down for the remote, which was still on the floor from when i threw it down this morning, and switched on the TV, I needed mindless TV time..
