B.E.N

Chapter 1

He was racing harder then he ever could. Bennett Garthinson jr. was racing his friend down a hill in southern Nevada. They put bets on who would win so the whole time he was focused on winning the money. Ben had dirty blond hair and dark brown eyes just like his father. His skin was very tan from being in the sun and was wearing khakis that were almost navy and his favorite blue shirt with a phrase saying, "I hate being bipolar. It's awesome!"

When he got to the bottom with his friend Jakie (who was tall and had long black hair) they both decided that he had won. He got ten dollars which he put into the money he would spend to go to Cuba next. He was a traveler. A 17 year old traveler who wanted to go to Cuba for his eighteenth birthday. It seemed like he had traveled half the globe.

His next birthday would be the gloomiest though. His father had died in a car crash 5 months ago and it would be his first birthday without him. Even though he never really saw him because he was always at the hospital, he still loved him.

He had great plans though. He planned on going to every restraint and trying out everything there. Then after to months he planned on going to Germany to see where his grandmother was born.

Then something terrible happened the next day.
