My eyes adjusted to the darkness, there was a strong breeze on my face.

I realized I was falling, or was I flying, I couldn't tell, it was pitch black.

Slowly a glass like substance approached me.

My feet softly landed on it, it was cold on my pale toes.

My landing sent ripples, drops of water started to fall upwards.

Was I upside down? slowly this world started to spin underneath me.

I grabbed on to the water as gravity kicked in, I felt like I was drowning though.

I fell through and crashed into the water, it was shallow.

I got up, and saw people standing there, I struggled to walk to them.

Three boys had there backs to me, I tried to speak but I couldn't.

However they knew what I was saying, they all turned to face me.

Or should I say I turned to face me, they were all me.

One had my blue eyes, another had pale yellow eyes like my starbursts had expanded, and the other had blood red eyes.

They stood there uncomfortable, "there's only enough room for one" they said in unison.

The reflection of me with blue eyes had bruises and was bleeding, yet had a lively feeling.

The me with yellow eyes had a soft tan and had a vibrant light radiating from him.

And the me with red eyes was a little pale, he looked indestructible and beautiful, however there was blood dripping from his hands.

"Pick or we will decide" they said, was i dreaming? my heart started to race.

I need more time, I don't know anything yet i tried to say, they looked at one another.

"Our time will come" they said in unison, blue eyes looked down awkwardly, yellow eyes smiled warmly, and red eyes looked angry.

They all pointed behind me, "something we all agree on" they said, I turned to see someone crouched in the water.

"Beware him, he is compromising our existence" they said, he turned, it wasn't me, it was a dark blur though.

I didn't recognize him but my heart fluttered and I got weak in the knees.

All I saw was his glowing eyes, they were a deep green and had pink dots in them like my yellow ones.

He smiled wickedly, but it made my heart skip a beat, I felt like I knew him and that I loved him.

However I couldn't put a face or even a body to him, I had no idea who he was.

"He's watching, go now, and be cautious" they said, I started sinking into the water.

I clawed around feeling like I drowning, and I was drowning, in my memories and thoughts.

******

I jumped up and gasped for air, it was just a dream, i quickly searched for something to write on and with.

I found a piece of paper and pen and wrote down what had happened

Before it disappeared from my mind.

"What do you think it means?" Simon asked after reading it, I shrugged.

"No clue" I answered him, he nodded and put the piece of paper in a book and put the book on his shelf.

"Do you feel better?" he asked me, I nodded, I felt a lot better.

"Do you want to get something to eat?" he asked me, my eyes lit up.

"Yes, I'm literally always hungry" I said with a huge smile, he laughed at me.

"Munchies?" he said as he closely inspected my eyes for drug use.

"Like you wouldn't believe" I answered him, we both started laughing and then we walked out of his room.

It was early in the morning, before breakfast time, his parents were home.

"What did you tell your parents?" I asked as we quietly snuck down the stairs.

"That we were studying late" he whispered, he closed the front door behind him.

He unlocked his car, I got into the passengers seat, he slowly drove to my moms cafe.

I pushed open the door, "whey honey" my mom said, she looked at Simon and her eyes lit up.

"Who's this?" she asked, he shook her hand and smiled warmly.

"I'm Simon, I'm Abe's best friend" he said, she pulled him in for a hug, I looked away awkwardly.

After ten minutes of them gossiping he came over, "dude your mom is awesome" he said.

I rolled my eyes and walked into the library section, he followed me.

"Are you gonna come to school today?" he asked me, I ate my fries and thought about it.

"I might as well" I said, it's going to be so annoying, everyone's going to be talking about me.

"Good I stole a doctors note from my dad, I said you had a seizure on it" he said, I sighed.

"Simon you're literally a life saver" I said with so much gratitude, he snorted.

"Well I guess" he said, I laughed, the irony, we were a pretty funny pair.

After eating a good amount of free food we drove to my house, he was the first person i'd ever brought home.

He looked amazed at all of the pictures I had taken, "man these are so good" he said.

"Thanks, I love photography" I said with a smile, he continued to analyze everything.

"There are no pictures of you?" he said, I looked around, he was right.

"I guess so" I said as I walked I front of my closet and picked out some clothes.

He picked up my Polaroid camera, "c'mon I want to see if the whole reflection thing is true" he said.

I shook my head and grinned, he smiled and patted my chest, "fine" I whined in defeat.

He put his arm around me and held it like he was taking a selfie, the light flashed and blinded me.

By the time my eyes adjusted the picture had come out, he took another one while I wasn't ready.

The first one came out really good, his smile was so beautiful, he looked genuinely happy.

The second one he was laughing and I looked off to the side, I looked really dumb.

"I want this one" he said holding the one of me looking dumb, I raised my eyebrow.

"I like it, it feels so real, with everything that's going on it's nice to have something normal" he said quietly.

I smiled at him, he slipped the picture in his pocket and I put mine in a frame and on my table.

"Well we better get going" he coughed awkwardly, I nodded and we left for school.

We got coffee before we got to school, it really woke me up, my head was buzzing.

It was weird because everyone was coming up to me and seeing if I was okay, like they had never cared before why now.

Regardless they were trying so I smiled and said I was fine, they couldn't imagine how much I hurt.

Simon had gone to home room early, I was walking down the hall, someone's arm linked with mine and I was pushed into the bathroom.

"What the hell" I said quickly, my arm throbbed, I wound it around to face Tim.

Some freshman stood there washing his hands, "get lost" Tim said to the kid, fear radiated off him and he ran out.

I pushed my hair back, "what do you want Tim?" I asked as I looked at him through the mirror.

His brown eyes avoided me at all costs, I rubbed my rapidly bruising arm.

"We need to talk" he said deeply, I put out my hand sarcastically.

"Clearly" I said motioning from me to him to the door, he clenched his perfectly sculpted door.

His tan was a little faded, he looked olive, his dark eyebrows furrowed.

"Ok CrossFag don't be sassy" he said getting mad, clearly this wasn't going the way he planned.

"Look Tim what" I said annoyed, I still had a little urge to kill him but another urge to torment him even more.

"You know you broke my hand?" he said, I looked at his bandaged hand.

"Oh I did?" I said with a smirk, he clenched his fist.

"Yeah the doctors said that I can't play for two weeks" he said frustrated, I rolled my eyes.

"Is that all?" I said about to walk away, he pushed me against the sink, his crotch was pressed against my butt.

He grabbed the back of my hair and pulled my head back, his lips brushed my ears.

"Look fag, I don't know what you're doing, I don't care that you came back from the dead" he said coldly.

His grip tightened, "if you keep doing your undead shit to my best friend, making him a queer and stuff" he continued.

"I'll kill you again, and again, and again, until you stay dead" he whispered against my neck.

He threw my head into the wall, "I'm not doing anything to Simon, it's his free will, he changed unlike you" I said quickly.

He turned me around and grabbed my jaw with his good hand, his body was pressed against mine.

"You don't know anything about me" he said looking me in the eyes, pure hate radiated off him.

"I know you're a cold hearted asshole, I know you're in denial, I know you have issues" I said with a smirk.

"Oh really?" he said with a smile, I smiled back.

"Mhm" I grinned, his hand left my jaw and he took a step back, his fist crashed against my face.

"Like I said you don't know a thing about me Abel!" he yelled, his hand grasped my neck.

A ringing sounded in my right ear, that hurt like hell, I was sick of his shit.

"I know you're weaker than me" I said with anger as I grabbed him by the neck and lifted his tall ass off the ground.

"So don't mess with me anymore, I'll do the tormenting now Timmy, your time is over" I said to him with a grin.

"I'm going to make your life a living hell, like you made mine" I continued with a cold smile.

He looked at me with utter fear, my eyes had turned red again, that's where my strength had come from.

I dropped him and put my arms around his neck and kissed the corner of his mouth.

"Nice talk babe" I whispered into his ear, I patted his chest and walked out of the bathroom.

I'm not going to let anyone treat me like that ever again, for as long as I live.

I felt my strength leaving which meant the pain was going to hit me soon, I quickly sat on the stair case.

I felt his grip on my neck, and him slamming my head, and when he punched me.

The bruises rapidly started forming, he's such a dumb ass I thought to myself.

When I got everything together I walked into chemistry, that was longer than I expected.

Unfortunately Simon wasn't in this class, but Eric was.

I walked in and his face tightened, he was shocked, I rolled my eyes.

I guess I get a bit grumpy when I'm hungry, oh my gosh a snack sounds so good right now.

"Can I go to the vending machine" I said raising my hands, my elderly teacher looked at me.

"Not while we're doing an experiment Abel" she said with her croaky voice.

"No, I asked to be nice, I'm going regardless, it's up to you to make this difficult" I said with a warm, innocent, smile.

Her fingers shook as she frightened my put on her glasses, she wiggled her finger at me.

I growled and walked over, I rudely widened my eyes as if to say what.

"Are you okay my boy, you're acting so unusual" she said with worried eyes.

"Yeah I've just been having a really difficult time lately, and I haven't really been eating" I said with a sad smile.

"I'm here for you anytime child, I know a thing or two about life believe it or not" she croaked with a wheezy laugh.

This made me smile, she was so nice, "I'm sorry for being rude, thank you though I'll definitely take that offer" I said with a smile.

"My office is always open, go ahead the pass is hanging up" she said with a wink.

"Thank you" I said with a smile, I turned and laughed to myself, too bad she didn't know about 'unlife' yeah I just made that word up.

I slowly walked through the hall way with my head held high, suddenly everyone looked so unimportant.

Why had I ever cared what these kids thought anyway, they were all insignificant.

I reached the vending machine, it looked like a treasure chest, my eyes got watery just looking at all the snacks.

I put in the money and bought like sixteen bags of chips, i grinned like a little boy.

"What are you?" Eric said quickly emerging behind me.

"I'm in transition you already know that" I said feeling smart as hell, his eyes widened.

"I know but there is no way you should still be alive" he said as his eyes searched my face.

"Why not?" I said calmly, I am going to use his confusion to my advantage.

"Cause transition only lasts a day or two then you relive your death and die for good" he said quickly.

"Oh well I've been dying a lot, but I'm a fighter, maybe it's because I was beat almost to death everyday" I said softly.

His eyes shot down, "but what makes you think I didn't turn" I said quickly with a wink.

"Cause you wouldn't be walking in the sun" he said searching my body.

"Well how do you do it?" I asked, he lifted up his hand to reveal his ring.

"With this ring, it let's me walk in the sun" he said, my eyes widened, I needed that ring.

"Where'd you get it" I said quickly, he looked around, and then looked back to me.

"I've been around for a while, I picked up some things on the way" he said quietly.

"Could you get me one?" I asked with a puppy dog face, he laughed at me, I'd never seen him laugh before.

"It's not that simple" he said, I rolled my eyes, well great, should I kill him for it? no I'm still human.

"Look, how about you come over after school today, I'll tell you everything you want to know" he said noticing my disappointment.

"Can I bring Simon?" I asked, his eyes widened, his brown eyes now turned a blood red.

"Does he know about us" he said with anger, I clenched my fists ready to fight him.

"Yeah but he's keeping it a secret, since he killed me" I said, his eyes softened, and shock crossed his face.

"Wait he killed you?" he said with sadness in his voice, he looked genuinely sad.

"Yeah and a couple other guys on your team beat me to death" I said softly, his jaw clenched.

"Look I'm so sorry I had no idea" he said, I nodded and rolled my eyes.

Sure you didn't, "look can he come or not, he's the one who's been helping me through all this" I said impatiently.

"Sure" he said, I smiled and walked past him, his hand grabbed my shoulder softly.

"Look Abel will figure out what's happening, I'm here for you" his voice purred, I smiled and walked back to class.
