Chapter 10
The moment I went into the party, I knew this wasn't my crowd.
The music was blaring until I could feel my eardrums vibrating, and everybody looked like they were grinding against each other, which I wasn't a fan of watching.
William poked my arm. His mouth was moving, but I couldn't hear a thing, I pointed to my ear and shook my head, meaning that I, couldn't hear him.
William leaned down, shouting in my ear, "Can we go back outside? I need to talk to you."
I nodded. We walked through the crowds of people, then suddenly, William disappeared. How was that possible? He's a big guy, like giant-sized big. I turned in a circle on my tiptoes, then suddenly I felt a hand grab my arm, I almost screamed, but I realized that it was William.
After that William held on to my wrist, pulling me outside with him.
Then suddenly William grabbed my shoulders, "Adam, the reason why I asked you to go outside, is because I need to talk with you."
I nodded, "Okay, what is it?"
William looked into my eyes, "Adam, I need to ask you a question, and you have to be completely honest with me. Promise."
I swallowed, "O-okay. I promise." Oh god, what is he going to ask me?
William's eyes never left mine, "Adam, are you a girl?"
I start sweating, "W-why would you think that, William? Your so funny, ha ha haha."
William stared at me, studying my face, "You promised that you would be completely honest, Adam, is that even your name?"
I slouched, "William, I-"
William glared, "Answer the question, Adam, and answer it honestly. I promise I won't feel any different about you, you're my friend. Are you or are you not a girl?"
I sweat, even more, "Yes, yes, I'm a girl."
William sighed, "Why? Why did you do it?"
I asked, "Do you want the short version or the long one?"
William raised an eyebrow, "I want the truth, starting with your name."
I nodded, sucking in a breath, "Okay, my name is Avery Bane, and inside that party, right now is the real Adam Darkwaters. He and I made a deal so that I would go to his school and he would go to my mine and in doing so we had to switch identities, so I became Adam and he became Avery, we also made up a lie that we were twins because that would be the easiest explanation of why we look so much alike. Oh, and the reason I became Captain of The Martial Arts Club was, that that was Adam's family tradition, and we're living together. Any questions?"
William stared at me with surprise, "You live with a boy?"
I stared at him in shock, "That's it? That's all your questions? And yes, I live with Adam, he's gay. Please don't tell our friends, William."
William nodded, "Okay, I won't tell them, that's your decision to make, and no, I still have one more question. How does it feel like to pretend to be a boy?"
I shrugged, "Easier? More comfortable? I like being a boy. It's nice."
William nodded, "Okay, let's go back inside."
----------------After The Party---------------
I told Adam what happened at the party.
Adam was a little annoyed, "So, you told him?" Sigh, "Okay, that's fine, he won't go telling everyone right?"
I nodded, "William promised, and he will keep it, he's my friend."
Adam sighed, "If you say so, Avery. Good night."
I nodded, "Good night, Adam."
I went to my room and grabbed my clothes, then I headed to the bathroom.
----------------After Shower-----------------
I read a little, then I fell asleep, it was already almost 1:30 in the morning.
And thus, ended my day.
