Chapter One
Now
"C'mon man, don't sissy on me now we just got here," my friend, Benny said in the alley. I rolled my eyes and followed him farther into the dark alley. "Okay man, you got your two mil and I got mine. Remember don't cheap out on me and buy a lame toy later. Meet me back here at ...12:30 and remember don't get mugged and enjoy; welcome to the free world brotha!" He yelled that a little louder than I expected and then started walking away.
I was looking at the people who were staring at me funny, most ...no all of them looked like dealers. To be honest I don't do drugs but my friend won four million dollars in the lottery. He told me that he would give me half the money if I used them all for drugs, so I agreed. I'm now realizing that was a bad idea.
"Hey kid I got the right stuff for you, 50 dollars each,eh?" The man's voice sounded like a deep sickening growl. He was in his early thirties he had a spiky mohawk that was dyed lightening blue. He had 5 golden nose piercings on the same left nostril,his eyes were forest green, and he wore a thickly dark jacket that said with scarlet words: "I'm a devil, bow down!" He showed me the vape pens. I just shook my head and started moving on.
Most people were doing the same thing to me and looked as creepy as the mohawk guy. One wanted to make sure I wasn't an undercover cop. Some shoved the drugs at my face. I started running from those people they creeped me out.
Then while I was running from the creeps I noticed a guy. He was around the age of nineteen or twenty. He was in some aspect, normal than the rest of the freaks. That doesn't mean he looked normal. He wore really short shorts, he had a flamingo pink flannel that had on the left side a single word, "babe." The flannel was open exposing his "my little pony" shirt. His sunglasses were on his head and they were purple with black polka dots. So not that normal, I guess.
I went up to him, once I noticed no freaks were following me. He was a light blonde, but he looked unimaginably bright.
"Well, well, well this is an fascinating treat," the young man said with a soothing british accent . He took a small package from the inside of his flannel out. It was obviously pink. "This is the best thing yet and quite devouring if I do say so myself," he smiled brightly. "How much?" I asked. The drug didn't look half as messed up as the others. "Two mil or a body to body funness," he said gleefully with a smirk.
"I'll go with the two million and just so you know, I'm straight," I explained briefly. I took the pink package and gave him the money. "I'm straight too, lad. I was talking about wrestling." Then with that he skipped away cheerfully. "Yeah, straight," I muttered under my breath. I turned on my phone and checked the time. It was 12:27, so I went back.
"So what did you get, man," Benny asked while driving me home. I showed him the pink package, he looked at me funny. "I can't believe you went up to that homo, well at least you got something," he said while shaking his head. "Well all the other people looked like serial killers at least this guy looked somewhat normal. Anyway what did you get?" I asked. He smirked and pointed at the left backseat. I looked and saw a trash bag full of stuff. "I still can't believe you wasted all your money on drugs, did you keep any of it?" I asked already knowing the answer. He shook his head and smirked. I rolled my eyes. That's the captain of the football team, I thought.
At home I found a note from my parents:
Dear Seth,
We will be gone again for the summer, we know this is the third time we did this and we are sorry. We won't have our summer vacation we talked about , but we will have a winter vacation to make up for it. The grocery store is near and we left 1,000 dollars on your desk to go shopping. We will be coming back the day before the first day of school. Hope you have a great summer!
Love M and D
I crumpled the letter and threw it in the trash. I really wanted a summer vacation, but my parents were having one instead. I only have one friend and he's staying at his girl's house for the summer and I don't have a car, so yeah I was stranded at the house. I decided to open the package the homo gave me. When I opened it a little plastic bag contained black powder in it. The powder was the darkest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.The last thing in the package was a rolled up 100 dollar bill. Classic, I thought.Then I opened the plastic bag and put the powder on the table.Then I tried to even it up with the $100. Then I put the $100 hole on the powder and in my left nostril. Here goes nothing, I thought and snorted the powder.
That's when my life changed entirely.
