Benji Beartown Novels & Stories

I'm not sure exactly what I'm expecting when I open the door. But, one thing I definitely wasn't expecting, was a shirtless Benji to be greeting me. Standing in the middle of the entryway leaning against the back of the couch is Benji, shirtless in all his glory. He's clad in only black athletic shorts hanging almost dangerously too low on his hips and a pair of running sneakers. His head is downturned, distracted by whatever message he's furiously responding to on his phone. Always busy with pack business. He types away for a few moments before carelessly tossing his phone to the couch, looking up to finally acknowledge my presence.

Sat on the couch racing each other and trying to beat each other. "Right Benji, time for shopping." "Do I really have to go?" Benji wines from the couch "Excuse me Benji, it is Rory's birthday, it is her choice now get your arse of the couch and get your shoes on." Lisa commands. "Fine!!!" Benji says grumpily as he gets off the couch and slips his trainers on. We leave the house and climb into Benji's black BMW, a car that he got for his eighteen birthday off of his parents. He puts some music on and we spend the whole way there arguing about the crap that he put on.

Jeremy said, grabbing her arm to stop her. Bonita glared at Benjamin before turning to Jeremy. "I’ll come home if he leaves. I won’t give him a chance to get close to me." Benjamin laughed. "Don’t act like we’re strangers. I already told you my name. It’s Benjamin, remember? You can call me 'Bee.' It suits your nickname, Boo, doesn’t it?" Bonita felt an invisible sting run through her. Her sharp, cold eyes scanned Benjamin from head to toe, but his persistent smile hinted he wouldn’t stop chasing her, no matter the odds.

I can't wait to say it and I want to say it now because he will be happy. We all prepare for eating a kBBQ now, Tania can't come because she's companying Jace to America for some business. "Arsenal no." Ben scold him and he gave him a puppy eyes. "Oh not again." Ben sighed "Just give him one." I said and he give him one piece of meat "Vincent, hmmm." Wooshik smiled to him and Ben looked at them smiling. Oh Let me just tell him now! "Do you want a twin?" I asked and Ben turned to me

“So are the rest of the Cadets hooking up…with each other?” “Some are,” Ben says, giving a little shrug. “The rest go down to Newtown to meet girls.” I just stare at him, a little agape. He stares back for a second before he bursts out laughing. “You seriously haven’t even heard of Newtown?” he asks, leaning forward to stare at me. “Ariel. You let those boys keep you too sheltered.” “Well, I didn’t even know I was being sheltered!” I burst out, throwing my hands out to the side. “What the hell is Newtown!?”

“He was the elder of the very first tribe I belonged to. He was the overseer at the time before he was killed. Bernard became the next overseer and the rest of us were appointed Elders after we reached our next age milestone shortly afterwards.” Esme nodded. “Benji wasn’t a good guy,” she said grimly. “He was greedy and only wanted one thing… power. He would have stopped at nothing to get that power. Even if it meant kidnapping a newborn baby.” I touched Joseph's leg, feeling a wave of warmth around the palm of my hand and expanding to him as I met his eyes. “Can you remember what happened with Benji and my mother?” I asked. “Were you there?” Joseph’s eyes locked onto mine and they widened.

I did everything to be a good friend, only to be treated as my so-called best friend’s scapegoat. When her husband found cigarette ash in their house, she claimed I was the one smoking. When she snuck off for a private rendezvous with her lover, she told him she was celebrating my birthday. And when she got pregnant, she pinned the blame on me again, declaring I was consumed with jealousy—that I had spiked her drink and hired someone to violate her. Enraged, her husband marched to my doorstep wielding a blade and hacked me to death. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the exact day she had asked me to cover for her affair.

she explained. Seeing that Benji didn't talk, Jessamine continued introducing in detail, "He's 28 years old, six feet two inches, 165 pounds, and graduated from an arts college in Zenville. He lives at Lakeview Apartment at Block 6, Unit 120. His phone number is …" "Stop. Stop. Stop." Benji couldn't bear to listen anymore. Jessamine looked like she was reciting information from a matchmaker. Those who didn't know what was happening would think she was introducing a blind date candidate to him.

I whisked burgundy hair strands from my face, “Same as usual.” Heidi and Isaac pass us with giggles, hugging lovingly. The newly mated couple that I found myself envying. Someday, I will have that and I wish that it would have been today. Jocks, cheerleaders, and a few others greeted us as we broke the left corner. “Hey ladies,” Benji blocked our path with his well-built six feet height. He unplugged his earphones and tucked ash-brown hair behind his ear. He observantly asked with squinting toffee-brown eyes, “Why the sad faces?”

“Not really. I used to have my own bicycle but Benjie broke it last week and my parents don’t have enough money to pay for another one.” “Who’s Benjie?” “Benjamin Arlington, he’s a tall and really muscular guy. He’s the team captain of the school’s baseball team. No one fucks with him because not only that he’s friends with Reggie, the son of the richest man in town, his girlfriend Ysabella is the daughter of the mayor.” “Wow, so he’s the top dog then.”
