INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 024
(Kai's Point of View)The setting around me was glamorous. The grass was lush and the sky was blue."Kai!"I veered around at the sound of my name to a figure standing miles away from me. A smile crept to my lips as I waved.I didn't know who the person was as I couldn't see his face clearly from that far yet my heart was soaring with fervor and mirth. My heart seem to know who it was.Then, he was coming toward me, closer and closer to the point I could finally see his face, however, the more he got nigher, I realized he was withering.My heart suddenly ailed and my hand reached out. I wanted to walk forward but my feet were embedded where I stood. "No!" I cried out. I didn't realize my eyes were simmering with tears till I felt my cheeks getting wet as I watched him vanish till there was nothing left of him but dust that evaporated to the sky. Suddenly, the background changed and the sky grew dark and I found myself in front of a burning fire, spreading quickly and wild while I was

(Cameron Point Of View)"How long do you plan on keeping me here?" Rhys abruptly inquired, lying in my bed while I was reading a script on my study table. I swiveled to him. "I am? Because it feels like I'm the one entertaining and being pragmatic to you than you being useful to me,"He tsked. "So you want me to leave, is that it?"I immediately shook my head. "Of course not! I like your company. It doesn't feel so barren with you here,"I watched him roll his eyes before he was sitting up and dropped his legs to the floor. "I'm bored human and I need something else to regale me," his golden eyes looked so sharp.I stood up and approached him. "Let's go to a clu-" I instantly halted as I realized the words coming out of my mouth. I couldn't be seen in a club for any reason. "The club is a big no," I tapped my chin, thinking. "Oh, I know! I've always been dying to visit this restaurant that makes great food,""Great, let's go," Rhys was already on his feet and leaving through the doo

[Kai’s point of view]As the day grew darker and fewer people were coming in, it had been hours since Ralph and Rhys left. I headed to Cameron's table for the fifth time. He gave me a smile that made me want to squirm. Although genuine, his smile was unsettling, and the fact that he hadn't stopped grinning made it even more unsettling. Didn’t his cheeks hurt from smiling? If I smiled that much, my muscles would be begging for mercy."Do you want me to refill it?" I pointed to his fourth cup of coffee. “It appears your date isn’t going to show up anytime soon,”I saw him pout as he took out his phone and looked at the time. “It’s getting so late, I wonder what’s keeping them so long,” he fluttered his eyes at me. "Sit with me for a little bit?"Before settling into the chair across from his table, I took a quick look around the restaurant. He grinned. “Would you like to discuss anything in particular?” I could keep him entertained for a while."Yes, tell me about Ralph; you mentioned

[KAI’S POINT OF VIEW]I abhorred being ill. It made me feel so useless and, more importantly, it caused me to lose money because I was unable to work while I was ill; Reuben would not let me enter that restaurant until he was certain that I had recovered fully; and I was also unable to attend school, which left me all alone.I couldn't recall the last time I was sick, but Ms. Charlie was there to help, and at this moment, I was confronted by a clumsy being who had the barest idea of what he was doing or what he was supposed to do.Ralph was sitting on the bed next to me as I was tucked in and shivering like I had been drenched in the coldest water. He laid the back of his hand on my forehead and had a confused expression."You're on fire; what should I do?" his voice was panicked as he stood up from the bed, pacing from one corner to tIf I hadn't been so ill and unsure of what to do at the time, I probably would have laughed.As I previously stated, I detested being sick because it m

[KAI’S POINT OF VIEW]Anxiety!As I—we, the entire student body—waited for the school day to end, anxiety happily devoured every nerve in my body.As Ralph and I entered the school’s cafeteria, all eyes turned to us. I tried to shrink myself by allowing Ralph's larger body to frame me, but their eyes followed my every move, murmuring about how dead Ralph and I were. They were probably right.While I was being cut down by anxiety, the school was exploding with energy. It was only supposed to be a basketball game, but I could see the thirst for blood in their eyes as they watched us take up our seats. Felix was already there with his lunch. His gaze flitted between us. "The whole school is talking about the game; have you ever played basketball before?" he catechized, peering at Ralph, who shrugged.I sighed and rested my head on the table, stifled. Of course, the bastard had never played basketball before, but he accepted a challenge from the school's best player. How screwed up were

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)When Ralph and I got home from school, I threw my bag pack on the floor, grabbed his upper arms, and slammed his back against the door, trapping him with my hands on both sides of his head.His eyes flashed with surprise before settling into a smirk as they flicked down to my lips. "What's on your mind, baby?"I cringed hard but didn't withdraw. "What the hell happened back there, huh? I thought you said you could not play!" "You presumptively assumed I did not know how to play. I only said I had never played before." He shrugged, and I felt like punching him in the eye to get rid of his calm demeanor."How the fuck can you know how to play if you have never played before?" I grilled, and the question only added to my astonishment. Was that even possible?!He shrugged once more. "The only reason he scored those goals was that I was learning how to play. I'm a pretty fast learner."I snorted and took a step back, hands at my sides. "I consistently underestimate

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)I stood on the forest floor, wide-eyed, as a sudden fire erupted, burning everything in its path and rapidly approaching me. Every muscle in my body refused to cooperate when I tried to move; it felt like I was firmly planted in my stance.I stared back at the fire, gulping as it got nearer and nearer. I slammed my eyes shut, predicting to be radiated in the next split second as my heart began to race and my skin itches horribly as fear gripped my neck. However, after what felt like a minute of waiting, nothing happened. Instead, I felt warm fingers delicately caressing my face, and a tide of fervor unravel throughout my body.Sluggishly, my eyes opened, then broadened at the sight of a familiar face."Ralph." Every part of him was glaring, and behind him, the forest burned to the ground and at the call of his name, he met my eyes and his eyes were also catching in flames. I flinched and finally, I was able to attain control of my body and moved away from him.

[KAI’S POINT OF VIEW]Ralph seemed to be having a blast with his new prominence and title as the new popular kid and the best in everything, Kyrell Johnson was now a thing of the past, as everyone seemed to have forgotten about him - even his so-called friends were now shamelessly shadowing Ralph like some lost pooches.As much as I was happy that I was no longer the object of bullying, being with Ralph also warranted me some attention that I detested more than anything, but looking at Ralph across the table as he conversed with his new friends, gleaming and too luminous for his own good, he loved the attention, and it was causing aversion in my stomach.“Hey, You are wasting your food.”Felix's words heaved me out of my state of thought, and I looked down at the food on my tray, which was no longer edible with how many times I’d stabbed the poor burger with a fork. With an exhalation, I pushed the tray away from me, and Felix passed me an incredible and vague gaze. I poked my inner
