blood gives you life

guys walked in the bathroom from time to time but never stayed long
“Is he in here?” then it was the same blonde dude from lunch again with 2 more people

“What do you want?”

“Actually, what can I do for you?”

“Excuse me.” the black guy spoke up
“What he is trying to say is that, from that performance at lunch we can see your down on your luck.”

“And?” I really hate it when people try to figure me out like a therapist, when there all just as fucked up. “Well, we can help with that.”

“Sorry, I appreciate the offer but I just got clean and-.”

the blonde guy laughed, “no, we’re not drug dealers, this hellhole got enough of that.” the small weak guy spoke
“Our way of making things happen is way more effective and dangerous.”

“Like what.”

The blond dude stretched
“We can give you the power to get anything you want but before we explain it to you we need to have brotherhood.”

“This is a sure way I can have anything.” “yup, better not question us and do everything that is asked of you.”

I have been in a gang before.
“Well, what do I have to lose?” “Good, my name is tucker, this scrawny bitch is Alex and the nigga is Tyler.”

and my face must have been shocked cause Tyler spoke

“I gave him an n-word pass. I call him a colonizer and we have code names.”
Code names? Like shadow marshmallows.

“Tyler’s is Midas, I’m Rome, and Alex is Achilles .”

“so yall code names are Greek/Roman related.”

“yup yours will be Jason the Greek hero. Cool.” “Whatever, Rome,” I said mockingly. I followed them outside
“OK, what are we doing outside?
I thought we were walking back to class.”

Rome tensed “our master commands it.”
“Master.” “yeah morning star the demon himself.” “the devil.” a chill ran up my spine

“OK, I know you guys were crazy but your parents need to bring you to Dr. Phil or Jerry springer.

“Jerry Springer is way better than Dr. Phil,” said Midas.

“What about Maury?” Rome added.

“Rome you,… are the father.”

“dang it.”

“hey…wait what were we talking about .”

“the devil worshiping,” I remembered them.

“Oh, right.”

Rome creepy smile
“What, you freaked out.”
I have seen a dead body at age 6, so not really. “Come sit.”

I sat down on the grass “before you can…enter the cult I like to start with intimacy.”

“oh hell no.” “Come on, it’s one kiss for all of us, I know it’s gross. come on just say no homo even though Rome is gay-.”
“I’m bisexual Midas!”

“ fuck OK, bi come on it will only last 10 seconds.”

“No tongue.”

“Nope tongue included.”

I bottle up my open-mindedness kissed Rome . Rome was smiling  and his lips tasted like poison. Afterwards, “are you OK.” Achilles said

“yeah Rome’s lips hurt.” they nodded knowingly.

I saw the black girl from my class run to a bench.

“Achilles, there's your girl.”
The boys snickered “she is not my girl, well not yet at least.”

I felt jealous.

“When I get my wish I’ll have her all over me.” 

“Yeah just be careful, girls like that will get you arrested.”

“Midas how?”

“She likes April.”

“Who is April?”

“Some girl I raped at a party last year and my parents transformed me .”
