"Kyoko, hand me that syringe."
I laugh as Kyoko hands me the syringe, Lucas grins.
"Looks like you're used to the drugs, you've gotten the taste."
I plunge the syringe into the first vein I find, there was still some left in it, Kyoko didn't use to inject a large amount of drugs into her veins anyway so whatever was left ended up either in me or Lucas.
I inject the methamphetamine into the first vein that comes my way, a feeling of peace washes over me.
I look down and my hands seem to move in different directions. I look up at the starry sky.
We were behind the college, that's where we used to get high, smoke and drink. I didn't smoke, only when the opportunity arose, and I didn't want to look like I was the only one who didn't put a cigarettes in my mouth.
"Excuse me,sir." Hearing this I turn away puzzled. What the hell does this man think I am, an old man?
I recognized him Hugo had told me a lot about him. It was Ryan, that boy who fucks Smith before any exam.
"What the hell are you doing here? And don't 'sir' me, I'm not that old."
He looked down, I feel sorry for snapping at him like that but it irritated me, this fake politeness he was trying to convey.
He says, embarrassed but enthusiastic.
"I hear you sell drugs, can I have two grams of coke. Powder if you can."
"Kid, we don't have any powder here we only work with syringes, if you want to snort some go to Andrew or you can try Smith but I don't think he does that."
This time his look turned from shame to outrage. He was probably upset that I had mentioned the name of one of his lovers.
He wanted to get into a fight but he's kicked in the balls by Kyoko.
"I would advise you to run, I will not tolerate such behavior on my friends, especially Finn."
Hee jumps up having a reaction to the pain and starts hurling insults.
"It's not worth wasting my words on a bunch of drug addicts anyway."
Look who says that, the one asking us how much two grams of coke is worth."
He glared, his eyes focused on Kyoko.
"Japonese, Chinese, whatever you are, if you do that again, you're gonna have serious consequences."
Kyoko ignored him, lighting a cigarette. Classic Kyoko, she always knew how to calm down, she lit a cigarette and forgot all her worries. Ryan could have yelled in her ear and she wouldn't care.
Ryan walks away, visibly annoyed by Kyoko's carelessness.
As soon as he's gone, Lucas pulls about ten cans of beer out of his backpack and places them on the makeshift stool made out of some planks and twigs.
"Take as many as you like, the night is young."
He lights a cigarette and asks me.
"Finn, don't you want a cigarette?"
"Yes! I do." I say hesitantly at first.
He hands me a pack of black Pall Mall.
"Take it all I've got a bunch, I can't do anything with them."
I take it and take a cigarette out of it. I put it to my mouth and ask for a lighter.
Someone lights my cigarette but from what I notice, neither Kyoko nor Lucas had moved from their seats.
"Miss me?"
Standing in front of me was a woman, dressed in gothic style and the makeup was matching the clothes.
I was puzzled before I realized who it was.
"Serenity?"
I couldn't believe my eyes, the woman who had ruined Lydia's life, terrorized Hugo, took Aiden's life, was standing right in front of me.
She was alive, or at least she looked that way, alive and full of life, her smile reaching up to her ears as shock reached my ears.
"Serenity!" Lucas exclaimed.
I was stunned and very confused.
Lucas knows her? How? Why?
He notices my confusion, and in an attempt to alleviate my curiosity Serenity says.
"Hi, I'm Serenity Hale, third year veterinary student. What's your name."
"I'm Finneas... Finneas Lynch, you can just call me Finn. I'm a second year literature major."
"Literature? You mean you're a Shakespeare fan?"
She was making a bad joke.
Kyoko didn't know her, but I could tell hwr eyes were on her.
She walks up to Serenity and says boldly.
"I'm Kyoko Yamamoto, a second year Literature major, and it seems to me that your name would go well with my last name."
They start laughing and Lucas hands her a syringe almost full of heroin.
Serenity pulls a couple hundred dollar bills out of her pocket and hands them to him.
I was trying to find an excuse to get out of there but they wouldn't let me. All I could do was stare at her for a couple hours.
All that had changed about her was her style and the falseness in her personality could be easily felt, at least by me.
Kyoko was already envisioning herself as her lifelong wife and Lucas just thought of her as a very good friend, probably his best.
She'd been so long at this university and I hadn't noticed her. Actually, I couldn't have, she was in veterinary medicine, I was in literature. 2 unrelated things.
I finally manage to get out of there. I was walking so fast, I didn't want to hang around her.
On the way home I get a text from Khloe.
"Finny, you don't realize how much you hurt me, and because you don't, realize what I did."
She had sent me a picture of her arm, it was covered in cuts my shock was beyond my own comprehension.
I frown and look at the picture.
"Do you like what you did to me, Finny?"
"Do you like it?"
