Chapter III | Anastasia's POV

All the students around me are talking, laughing, getting along just fine, but about what? Discussing the latest gossip about other people? Laughing about a silly girl that made fun of her crush? Plotting ways to humiliate her?

Their lives are just as boring as the rest of us in this place. How can this place that supposedly brings you great things in the future be so dull and boring? There's always a catch I guess.

I'm staring straight ahead, at the cars, trees, streets. Looking for something, but what? I guess I'm just trying to find something that stands out. The world looks so... Ugh, it just looks the same. It all looks the fucking same!

I'm brought back to reality when I hear someone call my name. I've heard that voice before. I never thought I'd hear it again. He can't be here...

''Jason...'' I whisper breathlessly. He really is here, but why? He's on fucking school grounds for fuck sake! And he's high, I can tell by his eyes. He looks like shit.

''Wanna get out of here? I got some stuff I think you'd wanna try''

I don't know why I'm always open to trying new drugs, I just like experiencing the feel, the rush.

Right now, I just wanna leave this place . So of course, I agree. But a part of me is unsure... It's the way Jason looks right now, the rest of the drugs we did together didn't have him looking like this..

I lead him to my car, and I don't dare look back. I feel like someone is staring at me... Probably everyone, but this feeling is different. Like someone is staring, burning a hole right in the back of my head with their eyes.

We get in the car and drive off. We make small talk of course, but I think it's time to pop the question.

''Sooo, what's this new stuff like?'' Mind you, this is the question that changed everything completely.

''I wont tell you much, but imagine a whole body orgasm'' He tells me. But before I have a chance to ask him what it is, he asks me a different question. ''Your place or mine?''

''My parents aren't home, if this 'whole body orgasm' is as legit as you say it is, I want to experience it in my palace. K? K.''

He laughs, ''alright alright, by the way some dude was looking at us while we were at the school.'' Like I don't know this already...

''How do you know?''

''It's called peripheral vision.'' He says rather sarcastically.

''Oh shut up, we're here.''

I pull up into the drive way and we hop out of the car. I take out my keys and unlock the front door and let him go in first.

He runs up the stairs and into my room.

''Oh your bedroom is just great bro.'' Like I don't know that already...

''I know, now show me the goods!''

''Which goods should I show you?'' He says while smirking at me. Oh god he's flirting with me...

''Fuck off perv. The drug, show me the drug!'' I'm getting really annoyed with him.

He takes off his black book bag and unzips it, pulling out a zip lock bag that contains a syringe, a spoon, a small box of alcohol swabs, a smaller zip lock bag with some white powder and a lighter.

''Hera..'' I whisper. I'm looking at it as if it were a new toy. I'm so desperate to experience the high of it.

''Yup, legit shit. Got any cotton balls?''

I nod and walk over to my bedside table and open a drawer and pull out a bag of cotton balls. I wave them in his face.

''Sweeet..''

He walks to the bathroom, and I follow. Eager to see how it works. Eager to feel it in me.

Opening the zip lock bag, he pulls out the spoon and the box of alcohol swabs. He opens the box and pulls an a-swab out. He starts cleaning the spoon and he then places the hera in the spoon. He then tells me to take the syringe out and gather 50-75 units of water and squirt it in the spoon. He takes the lighter and starts to heat it up from the bottom. He pulls out the plunger of the syringe and stirs the hera solution.

''Take out a cotton ball'' he says. I oblige at his order.

He takes a piece of the cotton and rolls it into a size a bit bigger than a tic-tac and he drops it in the hera solution. Taking the tip of the syringe and poking it into the middle of the cotton ball, he pulls the plunger back slowly until all the hera is sucked in.

''Alright, you ready for this?''

I nod. He places my arm on the edge of the sink and pats the bend of my arm. He finally injects it in my vein. I instantly go limp.

Oh my... It feels like a warm golden sunshine flowing through my veins. My chest is tightening up a bit. My whole body feels as if it's pulsating, tingling. I feel okay now... Everything is beautiful. I feel calm, my eyelids are getting heavy. Jason is saying something but I just can't hear... This feeling, is intense. More intense than anything I've ever tried. I feel him picking me up and placing me in my bed. Oh the colors, they're all so lovely. So bright, so beautiful. It just adds more feeling to the high.

I can't quite get the words out of my mouth. I see him closing my room door, leaving me. Not that I'm complaining... But what if I want more?

He goes from place to place, what if I can't find him? Who cares? Enjoy this feeling.

Calm, that's mostly what I feel. Everything around me looks pretty. Almost like an acid high but more intense. This rush is amazing. Hera is amazing.

My eyelids start to give up on me, and colors, the beautiful colors of my room are the last thing I see before everything goes black.

For those of you who don't know...

Hera - Heroin.
