Horrible Human Beings

Fire In The Hole

FIRE IN THE HOLE

We got all our equipment and outfit and I couldn’t stop thinking of how much money Sam and Kristie spent on it. Damn! That boy was desperate for being popular, I couldn’t help feeling a little sorry for him. Now I felt like shit for the nights Jim and I spent at his loft watching his videos and laughing of what a dork Samuel Woods was. I couldn’t believe I actually felt attracted to him in the beginning, he was just…Too naïve for anyone’s taste.

He was my captain today though. So I had to pretend to follow his orders and find my way to the flag that hung on his jean’s back pockets, because I was a traitor after all. My duty was to retrieve it and take it with that Kevin moron.

I know what you’re thinking, what the hell has all this to do with the Hhbs? Oh come on! Who doesn’t like war games? And plus…Well, it actually has a lot to do with them, because as Kristie called it, it was the Judas games, a game about treason and disloyalty a game in which everyone is your enemy and you must pretend to like them if you want to succeed in your task and basically it was just a metaphor all of the crap I had been coming through the last months. Living like a spy, hiding in corners trying to get as much information of Eric as possible to use it against him, because he was the enemy, him and all the guys like him, and after the things that Alice told me the other day I couldn’t help feeling like she was right and…maybe the problem were all the straight guys out there, all of the them were evil deep inside and just wanted to take advantage and ruin everybody’s life including gays, straight girls, fat people, thins, tall and shorts, everyone was a target for them.

So much things were stuck in my chest since I lost Charlie and I needed to let it out or I might explode any time soon.

So… Before stealing the flag from Sam’s blessed ass, I was going to have some fun getting rid of all of the members of my team, and take a little revenge for all the outcasts that they probably hurt at some point of their lives.

I adjusted my goggles and gripped tight my sniper paintball gun.

Let’s party betches!

…….

They walked for half an hour in a steep and muddy ground, the soil was covered with wilted leaves and pine needles and once in a while someone stepped over a twig and Kev glared at them.

Jim was tired, what the hell? They just had a game! They ran like bastards from here to there, the last thing he wanted right now was to hike in the woods and get lost, why they couldn’t just stay in the cabin a have some drinks? Why Sam had to think in this stupid game? Jesus! Jim was getting sick of this new attitude and his stubbornness.

They kept walking in silence, stopping every ten minutes to look at their backs and make sure they weren’t being followed. Finally they found a weird rock formation near the lake with a hollow bottom where Kev hid the flag.

Jim stared at the lake’s still shallow with longing, if he could only get to swim in there for a while, he was so sweaty and sticky, he felt disgusting an ugly now that he was covered with mud and leaves. Jeez! He just wanted that stupid game to be done so he could go home!

 

“Come here” Kev said in a mutter and everybody crowded around him.

Jim scanned the crowd looking for Ash who seemed pretty excited for taking part in the game. Traitor bitch.

“This is what we’re going to do” Kev said taking a look at them. “All the guys follow me, we’re going to take the flag. The girls will stay with Aidan here till we come back”
