Rotten Liaison || Benny Rodriguez

Chapter 8 (sort of an epilogue)

Ever since that very weekend, The next week at school as well the rest of his high school life was an entirely new outlook for Benny Rodriguez. From then onward, he hung out with the girl known as Chamsy all the time. Each time they were in class, they prohibited each other from paying attention to the studies that were important for them to follow. They would talk when the teacher told them not to, goofed off, and didn't finish their assignments and paperwork. Endless bad cooperation from them often got them into punishments like detention and, if they were immature enough, In School Suspension. You see, he had became someone who no one, not even he, was accustomed to. Now, instead of being the athletic, sport-loving, obedient, hardworking, determinate, Straight A person he always once was, he turned rowdy, unvirtuous, sly, mischievous, lenient, savage, and inappropriately dirty when it came to females.

Football practice was no more of one of his main focuses. Every day when school let out, he would either ride away on the back of pick up trucks with some of the misbehaving big, older boys from higher grades or walk home with Chamsy for more of their filthy fun. Bertram left from being one of his closest friends as he socialized more with gangs full of thugs and ruffians. His option to not own a phone expired and he would continuously call and text friends when he wasn't near them. He made social media and posted almost all the time and got very popular on it. With him not showing up to football practice, he was kicked out of the team. Anyone would think he would try out for more sportive activities in the future. He didn't. He started to be involved in more unnecessary hobbies such as drinking beer and smoking cigarettes and pot. He even went so far as doing cocaine and drugs once. Flirtation with girls was another thing he took on which made a lot of girls come to him. Oddly, Chamsy was fine with this as she being his side chick baddie. This whole recent personality of his tore down and killed the old Benny that formally had an amazing and bright life on him. That said Benny was now forgotten and forever abandoned. His grades went from superior to neutral, and by the time he was 18 in the 12th grade, he dropped out. He never got to see the glorious face of graduation like he had once hoped for. Instead, he spent most of his time at friends' houses smoking joints and chugging down bottles of bud light and whiskey. At night, he would stay in nightclubs or bars and then would return home with a huge hangover. The other half of his time was working a job at a local grocery store. He received tattoos and a face piercing along his life journey.

When his mom found out about her son's doings, she wasn't very happy with him, but she was kept too busy to handle the situation. She never found out about him and Chamsy making nooky in the house, either. Unfortunately however, by the time they were out of high school, Chamsy went separate ways from Benny and went around with other people in other further places. Benny soon forgot about her and their old times together. He managed to raise a good pocketful of cash to move away to a new home.

Now nearing 20, Benny's life mostly involves around living in bigger cities where the streets contained numbers of people that traveled to casinos and pubs. The women who he had stuck around with there had a lot in store for someone as handsome as him. Some nights ended with him taking one of them home or leaving for home by himself to get up for another eventful day. He never once reminisced on the girl that had changed his life. Those early days of him having nothing but uncomfortable anxiety of her staring admiringly at him had concluded into something he never would've thought in a million years would happen to him. But, he was content with his new lifestyle. He embraced every moment and detail of the hour. As for Chamsy, Benny was not in her mental picture no more, but she still congratulated herself on taking him in as her next lovemaking recipient, and when she saw the new life he was living in, she decided to leave him at that for she felt that her job had been completed. She never predicted for him to be this way, but she didn't feel negative for his new choices, either.

And so, Benny and Chamsy left behind their days of being complicated strangers to each other. They departed from their bygone grimy link, their detrimental bond,....their rotten liaison.
