INTERNAL SIN Internal Sin: 027
[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

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)Once I stepped out of the room, I went to the bar and got myself a drink. I ogled at the goldish liquid in the glass, already having second thoughts as its smell punctured into my nose without mercy and caused an aversion in my stomach.Deciding to man up, I shut my eyes and drowned the liquid into my system and when I opened my eyes, my vision was twirling in circles and an unnatural feeling surged up my chest.Damn. I didn't think the damn liquor was that strong enough to get me worked up with just a glass! Why was I drinking anyway?!"Hey, pretty." My vision was foggy. I tilted my head, trying to make out the face peering back at me but I got nothing, instead, my body swayed uncontrollably that he had to catch me by the arm."I'm fine, thank you." I gently pushed his arm away but staggered again and strived to balance myself with the counter. What the hell? Was this how being drunk felt like? If I was crapulous, why was I thinking rationally? "Hey, do you w

(KAI'S POINT OF VIEW)I sat on the bed, knees hugged and back pressed on the wall while staring into space.The events of last night were still raw in my head. Everything kept flashing and every word kept echoing. I wish I could forget."Are you still sulky about last night?" Ralph came before my view as he sat on the bed and crossed his legs. "I said I'm sorry. I shouldn't have agreed to such party and I shouldn't have dragged you alone. I'd thought it would be good for you to experience what other humans are experiencing.""I'm not like other humans." I wasn't even human to begin with. I met Ralph's eyes and locked him under my gaze. "Are you hiding something from me, Ralph?" I watched his reaction give nothing away but before he could answer, I placed a finger over his lips. "Wait, don't answer that."Why was I even asking? I swore to mind my business and not get tangled in some shit that might bring attention or worst get me killed. What was the point of knowing a secret when I wa

(CAMERON'S POINT OF VIEW)"You are such a pretty little thing." Nauseated would be an understatement to what I felt as he meandered his finger on my clothed arm. I swiveled my face away but he clasped my mouth, turning my face to look into his lust-filled eyes."Don't look away from me, little thing. We are going to have a fabulous time together. I promise to make it worth it."For once I felt I'd caught up with my limit letting this outmoded pervert touch me. But I couldn't believe I was doing this, coerced to sleep with a man twice the age of my father by my father and soulmate.The thought made me scoff out loud and the smile on Mr. Smith's face fell over. He shrank his hold on my mouth, sifting his fingers into my cheek but it didn't hurt, not when I'd endured this same treatment from my parents and my soulmate, nothing new and nothing to flinch about."Shouldn't you be imploring and crying? That's what I was promised. If it doesn't come inherently, you might as well be synthetic
