The Silent Killer

Chapter 1

Luke Mimus Smith

I know my middle name is unique to say the least, it's pronounced My-mus if you're wondering. Who cares anyway, I've just finished my exams and now I'm ready for summer but before that I have to decide one little thing. Well when I say little, I mean the most important decision a party animal,immature and man slag eighteen year old has to decide. Like what the hell was policy makers thinking. I'm eighteen, I still have to ask if I can go to the toilet or not.

UNIVERSITY or JOB?

Well a job would mean a quicker way to gain finance to buy a house and a nice flashy car however the benefit of university would mean debt for now, written off at fifty years old. And a higher paying job in the long term. Lets not forget all the pussy I could get as well, because from what I've heard university girls are easy as hell.

University it is then.

I need two A's and one B to get into Lancaster University to do business studies. I have just finished my A-levels and now it's time to PARTY like I've never partied before! I mean come on you don't expect me to sit at home and wait two months to find out if I've failed or not; fuck that. Fuck that indeed as I'm going to have as much sex alcohol this mother fucking body can take.

Eat, Drink, Pussy, Sleep; Repeat! My motto for the summer!

As soon as I leave the exam hall I grab my bag from my locker and run to my gang of lads.

"Right everyone do a chug of vodka now!" I scream while jumping on one of the lad's back.

"You're fucking crazy Luke." Ken laughs.

"Well you're a fucking pussy, now down it!" I climb off one of the lad's back and take out the one litre unopened bottle of vodka I've hidden in my bad all day and pass it to Ken.

His facial expression says it all, overwhelmed. "HA your face looks exactly the same as my girlfriend when she saw my dick for the first time!" Jack laughs.

"Shut your face Jack! More like her face was shocked how small it was!" Jack pushes Ken as we all scream "Ohh BURN.", at Ken's comeback.

"Both of you girls have your little bitch fight later, Ken down it!" I exclaim.

Ken follows my command and quickly breaks the vodka bottle cap off and chugs the first shot. Shortly followed by me and the rest of the lads. All I knew was that tonight was going to get messy, with a lot of raving, drinking and pussy. It is going to be the best night ever. I bet everyone else is going to get hammered tonight, A&E are going to be busy tonight!

"WOOOOOOOO SUMMER!" One of the lads flashes his cock at a car as it drives pass.

"What the fuck!" I say.

"Shit he's stopping, run lads!" Jack points at the husky hunch man that is rapidly making his way towards us.

The flasher, Liam, makes things worse again by screaming at the man "Did your wife see it and think how much bigger and better it was than your tiny pecker?" We all leg it round the corner and down the alley way. I dare not look back,

"I think we lost him lads!" Jack sighs as he is exhausted from all the running.

I punch Liam in the nuts. "You crazy bastard. He could have beaten us up."

Liam throws himself onto the ground in sheering pain while the rest of us laugh it off,only slightly though as we all catch our breath and Liam eventually getting up from the ground we carry on to my house to start the nine hours of pre-drinks before we hit the town.

I am right, tonight is going to be crazy with the lads. The madness has already started and it isn't even one in the afternoon yet. What's my summer going to be like!

Maximus Roberts
It's the last day of my exams and I know I've failed them. I suppose it's a shitty job for life then; the bare minimum wage and long hours. Maybe a partner and kids , actually scrap that no one would want broken goods.

The thought of a shitty future already depresses me. And now I have to go home, no drinking and no celebration. Instead I will crawl into bed, cry for a while and then fall asleep.

Don't worry I'm not a loner I do have a few good friends, their all celebrating tonight except I don't know want to join them. I'm really not feeling it at all. I moved in to Daniel's home three years ago after his parents fostered me. I'm still here, until I'm eighteen I'm guessing before I'm booted out. Especially since Danny is off to university as well. I suppose I could ask but his parents have gone far and beyond what is required of them. I suppose I just have to find somewhere cheap to rent meanwhile all my friends are moving on with their lives.

I didn't bother applying for university despite my mentor encouraging me every time I saw her to do so "You'll get the grades to go to Lancaster, Max." I used to nod and pretend I would do it. The thing is though it wasn't that I didn't think I wouldn't get in, it was the cost. I have savings but not enough for three year programme. I wouldn't even get a grant for being poor, well Daniel parents aren't exactly poor neither rich but grants were scrapped a few years back. Including the foster child grant, monies for those coming from foster care. Instead I would have to be borrowing from a private sector finance company whom if you failed to pay up I can only imagine bailiffs would be after you. Public sector borrowing from the government was too also scrapped under the austerity measures, don't get me wrong I'm not totally into politics but it feels like the poorest were hit hardest while the rich, well, got richer.

And this was why I am annoyed with the system, how did they expect me to ever have a decent future if apprenticeships were out of reach in a rural area where I live. University is out of my reach because of finances, instead left over is the unskilled jobs such as cleaning toilets and warehouse work. I already have a part time job which pays only £5.30 an hour while prematurely making me deaf in the long term and often running into my many one night stands, awkwardly catching up but deep inside wanting to just die in the corner as my co-workers just laugh at me and I can only assume think the worse of me.

At least tonight my bar shift doesn't start till eleven, it just means I have a few hours rest, before I have to serve celebrating teens who are so excited about their futures.

Now I'm back at Daniel's house, I throw myself onto my bed and fall asleep. Fuck why am I still even here.
