The Unordinary Life of Ben Tennyson

Chapter 15

"These are Claire and Adrion."(Teacher)

"Oh fuck-"(John)

John had drenched his hair in gel- more so than usual. He stared intently at his desk, avoiding looking at either of the two students standing up front as he muttered curses under his breath at a rapid pace as he tried to avoid being seen by them

"Your seats are right over there- Actually we're one short.. Claire could you take Seraphina's seat for the time being? It's right next to John- John raise your hand please."(Teacher)

A sharp inhale was heard from John as he grimaced before shakily raising his hand

Fuck fuck fuck- It's happening again- He used his ability- He became a monster- For just a short time and this was his punishment- He was going to lose them all- SHE was back to ruin his life again- To betray him again- She was going to expose him- Sera would leave him- Shit- This can't be happening-

"You good man?"(Ben)

John froze before silently nodding his head. There was a chance they didn't recognize him.. Maybe if he stayed quiet they wouldn't be able to place his voice.. He wasn't paying attention at all. He had heard the bell ring in no time and stood up, rushing out of the classroom.

Ben was.. confused. John had left for no reason, why would he be so upset? Is it because Sera's seat was taken? He does have a pretty obvious crush on her- Ben sighed. He'd have to go after him later. He walked over to the two new students 

"Hi there! I'm Ben Tennyson! Sorry about John- He's been taking Sera's suspension pretty hard lately!"(Ben)

"...Uh- Sorry! Hi I'm Claire- This is Adrion!"(Claire)

"Nice to meet you!"(Ben)

"I- H-How are you friends with him?"(Claire)

"Who?"(Ben)

"John.."(Claire)

"He's a good person? Why do you ask?"(Ben)

"...No- No he isn't."(Claire)

"What are you talking about?"(Ben)

"He- He hasn't beaten you up?"(Claire)

"No? I don't think he could actually- He doesn't have an ability."(Ben)

"He- He doesn't?"(Claire)

"No, he's a cripple, I'm- I've gotta go now."(Ben)

Ben said as he turned to leave but he was stopped by the blonde guy

"Hey- Sorry- I guess we mistook him for a different John!"(Adrion)

"Common name I guess!"(Ben) 

He said as he walked out the door to try and go catch up with John

"Hey, what do you think of those new kids?"(Ben)

John visibly stiffened up at the question he was asked

".. They're fine I guess."(John)

"One of them thought they knew you-"(Ben)

"What?"(John)

"Yeah, she said something about going to the same school or some shit- I corrected her, you probably have a doppelgänger somewhere! Same name too-"(Ben)

"..That's- That's uh- Crazy man!"(John)

"You alright?"(Ben)

"Yeah! A-okay!"(John)

"...You need to go to doc? You seem out of it-"(Ben)

"Doc would kill me if I went in without a life threatening injury-"(John)

"Alright alright! I gotcha, just take a nap or something when we get back, you've been taking the suspension really hard man."(Ben)

"Right.."(John)

Elaine gasped when she looked at Arlo. He was laying in a pool of his own blood, Meili and Ventus were also in similarly poor states, Arlo was the only one conscious however.. What kind of Monster could've done this? To Arlo nonetheless! The defense king! They must've broken his barrier- but even then his passive would stop most damage..

Elsewhere

Silently sobbing. Tears wiped off his face as he glared at the floor he had crumpled too, his stuff scattered on the floor. He tried so hard to become a man who he couldn't recognize.. The one he tried to get so far away from being the monster he used to be.. but it was no use.. He was never the monster was he? They were. It was then that was the problem- THEM! Not him! Them who tried so hard to crush his spirit, isn't it only fair he try and return the favor? Obey the hierarchy that the asshole loves so fucking much.. Obey it for once and crush the others like bugs under his sho- No. Focus. Take a deep breath. Calm down.. You've been doing good.. You've been rolling with the punches and dishing them back.. You can keep this going for however long it takes.. You can do it John! 

"Hey you alright? Let me help you-"(Remi)

John looked up wide-eyed momentarily flinched backwards and falling onto the ground as he covered his face. For a split second he saw her face. Claire- He had almost lashed out but caught himself

"Please don't hurt me-"(John)

He muttered under his breath. Speaking to.. Well not Remi, perhaps Claire? or himself? His words made Remi stop, paused in confusion at his words as he quivered on the floor, tears still pinching at the edges of his eyes. He looked to be trying to hold in his tears. As if he were getting close to his breaking point

Current Day

John took a deep breath, clenching the sink hard as he stared into his eyes.. He seemed to be terrified of himself. His hair was ungelled and his eyes were blazing. But.. The real John was normal- Drowned in gel and slightly bloody- Upon closer inspection his reflection was grinning and wore a blue hoodie, and was incredibly shorter than him. John collapsed to the floor
