Chapter 6:Dammit

9:47 A.M.
Tuesday Morning
Chemistry Class

Beats was sitting near the back of the class, bored to death as his teacher Miss Davis rambled on about chemicals. Damn, I'd rather be fighting demons than go through this stupid stuff. Miss Davis instructed: "Now please gather into a group of 2 for our next experiment. Hurry before I decide." Beats lifted his head searching for Bonnie who was sitting down in her seat. Yes, this is the perfect time to get things straight. Beats stood up and walked towards Bonnie while sighing: "Hey um, Bonnie I know what you saw earlier may have seemed wrong but if you hear me out I can explain." Bonnie stood up before noting: "Sorry Beats but what you did was unforgivable, you played with my heart. You juggled it around your playhouse of games and trickery and then you stomped on it. So I don't want to hear you out, besides I need a partner to find." Bonnie walked away making Beats grumble quietly to himself: "Dammit."

Lockwood Hallways

Beats was walking through the hallway, listening to music, ignoring everyone and everything. Beats looked up to see Bonnie walking towards his direction. Welp, here goes nothing. Beats took off his headphones before calling out: "Hey Bonnie, hows it going?" Bonnie continued to walk past Beats making him think to himself. Dammit.

11:35 A.M.
Tuesday Morning
Cafeteria

Beats was sitting in a booth looking pretty depressed until he noticed Bonnie was walking his way. Beats insisted energetically: "Oh hey Bonnie, you wanna sit with me? I've got an open spot for you!" Bonnie rolled her eyes as she sat alone at some random table. Beats slouched in his chair while sighing: "Dammit." Some random kid asked nervously: "Hey would it be cool if I sat with you?" Beats raised his scowling eyes to see a kid wearing glasses. His hair was orange in a messy style along with the traditional school attire. Beats answered sarcastically: "You know what, sure. I'm feeling generous." The kid nervously put his food down before awkwardly attempting to shake Beats' hand. Beats pretended not to see his hand as he asked: "Soo, why'd you choose to sit over here? And what's your name?" The kid replied: "Oh my name is Zachary, but you can call me Zach. And after I saw that girl completely mess you up I thought you needed a shoulder to lean on." Beats objected:"She didn't mess me up!" Zach asked slyly: "Then what did she do?" Beats sighed: "She, didn't do anything. Look Zach, I've got a secret but if I say anything I'll sound insane. It's just so stressful because I can't explain my side of the story." Zach insisted while cleaning his mouth of sauce: "I'll hear you out." Beats gasped: "You will, like no lie?" Zach remarked: "Show me what you got." Beats leaned in closer in order to whisper: "Okay, one day I was shopping for new ear buds but I found these instead. The sales associate told me they were busted but when I went home they worked perfectly fine. Here's where it gets weird, I'm in school and I hear this terrible echo. My phone turns into a GPS system, leads me to the girls bathroom. And boom some girl turns into a demon." Zach chuckled: "Alright, I see why you think people would call you crazy. Do you have any proof or evidence that you could show me?" Beats thought before changing his song while saying: "Keep quiet but look under the table." Zach looked underneath the table revealing Beats electric blade. Zach gasped: "Dude that's something straight out of a comic book, you're in a pickle." Beats asked: "How come you're not freaking out right now, you're not a demon are you?" Zach laughed: "Demon, no. I'm far from it. I'm just a nerd with a knowledgeable mind." Beats asked: "So you don't think I'm crazy?" Zach responded: "Nah, you've got the evidence. Why isn't that girl talking to you?" Beats slouched in his chair before sighing: "Well that demon girl I told you about, she came back today. She threatened me by forcing me to fight her on the rooftop, alone. And Bonnie saw us in the hallway and she asked what was going on. I panicked and didn't know what to say but that demon did. She told Bonnie that she was my date to that stupid dance this Friday. And now she won't even let me explain myself." Zach shook his head before explaining: "You gotta give it time man. Let her space out while you think of a good cover up story." The bell rung making Zach sigh: "Well thanks for letting me sit here um, I never got your name." Beats replied: "Um just call me Beats." Zach nodded his head before walking away while Beats grumbled: "Dammit!"

Tuesday Night
Beats Bedroom

Beats was texting on his phone, trying talk with Bonnie.

Beats: Heyyy 👋
Um is anybody home?
Earth to Bonnie, incoming call from Beats your best friend!
I just wanna talk about what happened, please 😫

Bonnie: I don't want to hear your excuses, you slimy rat.

Beats: Oh man we need to work on your name calling but all jokes aside. I'll explain what happened only if you listen.

Bonnie: Fine. Go ahead, I'm all ears.😒

Beats: That girl you saw this morning, I swear to God I did not know her.

Bonnie: Aren't you an Atheist?

Beats: YES, that's how serious I am about this situation.

Bonnie: Fine then keep going, I guess😒

Beats: That girl you saw me with, I didn't know her not one bit. She was so desperate to be my dance partner she even threatened to call out rape if I said no. That's why I didn't say anything but I turned her down. So can we please be friends again? Please😢?

Bonnie: Well I mean I guess your story makes sense now, oh fine. But if it happens again we're through, got it?😤😤😤

Beats: You betcha, well goodnight I've got homework I gotta do.

Bonnie: Goodnight 😘

Beats closed his phone before sighing a breath of relief: "Thank God that's over. Now to deal with this." Beats phone was black with several green blinking dots on the screen. Guess it's hunting season.
