2009

Type, type, type,

That's the sound my bloody keyboard makes when I'm trying to type out an essay. I hated this keyboard more than I hate cheese and I REALLY hate cheese.
I turned on the small television I kept on my desk just in case I broke my computer and I was too lazy to repair it.
The channel no one gives a shit, aka the news, about came on. "Same old worthless information," I sighed grabbing the remote about to change the channel until I heard something interesting.
"Breaking news! Today twenty officers were shot to death by a masked figure. All witnesses say was 'The figure was armed with guns, knifes, and other dangerous weapons. He took down the twenty cops in a breeze and somehow managed to keep his identity a secret." I set my remote down gently and focused more on the tiny screen. "Officials say they will put an end to this as soon as they find out who was behind the mask. Luckily, there is actual footage that was found in the officers body camera. Warning, the video may be disturbing and gruesome so look away if you're sensitive to those topics."
A blurry video played.

The mysterious figure walked on the street, looking down. He walked towards the cop slowly. It was like a start of a horror movie. "Sir? Are you alright?" The officer called out. "Sir? Can I have an ID or something?" No reaction came from the man, he continued to walk closer to the cop. You could hear the cop calling for back up.
The cop took out his gun and pointed it to the fully black clothed man. "Get on the ground! Back up will be here any secon-" The man pulled out a gun quickly, in the process revealed all sorts of dangerous weapons in his jacket.
A loud bang was all I heard and the video was cut to static.

I sat at my desk, speechless.

I sat down at my desk, computer coding class was probably my favourite class. Hacking, coding, was my specialty. I took out my laptop from my book bag and placed it on my desk. Suddenly a familiar face walked in, Dan Howell. He was just another cru-I mean student.
"Take a seat Mr. Howell. Class will begin shortly," Our teacher said, not even glancing at the brown haired boy.
I looked around the class, everyone has a partner I guess. I wonder who will he be partnered with. Oh wait. I looked at the empty spot next to me, Oh SHIT.
"But all the seats are taken," Dan said with no emotion. "Ugh" the teacher looked around until he saw me, "Sit next to Mr. Lester then."
Dan rolled his eyes and sat down next to me. Is it just me, or is dan acting weird? I mean I observe every student, study them and I know things. I know for sure that Dan was acting a bit more colder. Ever since Freshman year.
I quickly opened my computer, nervous about even looking at him, and started typing. Suddenly a all too familiar screen came up, the security screen. Time to put my hacking to the test. As I quickly typed I could feel someone watching me, from the corner of my screen I could see Dans reflection. He was the one staring. "Hey you! Geeky Lester!" Suddenly I felt something hit my head, I looked back to see him. Jackson Ford. He only took this class so he could act smart when in reality he's as stupid as a starfish.
"Whatcha yah doing? Oh! You're doing your geeky typing stuff again?" He laughed. "I-it's not g-g-geeky!"
"Oh! Stutter Lester back at it again!" I hated how he treated me like shit. How he treated me as if I was below him. If I could, I would grab him in a choke hole and make him suffocate. But sadly, it's illegal and I would get arrested.
I turned around back at my computer, BAD mistake.
"Hey! Don't you turn your back on me!" He got up from his seat and grabbed my computer. Oh hell no. "C-c-can you p-please g-give me back m-my c-computer!"
"You want it back?" I nodded quickly reaching out. "Then catch it!" It all played in slow motion. He released my computer from his hands, I was too slow and didn't catch my computer in time. Once it hit the floor, the whole computer broke. All the pieces scattered across the room.
"Oopsie!" I quickly got up from my chair and tried picking up the pieces of the broken computer up. "Mr. Ford!"
I didn't even listen to the conversation, I felt angry. He was going to pay, and I'll make sure it's very painful. "Mr. Ford you will be purchasing a new laptop for Mr. Lester!" I grabbed my book bag, ignoring Dans weird staring. I just had one thought in my head.
He's going to die.
------
I threw the broken pieces aside and sat at the desk the school computer. Then I started doing what I did best.
After two hours of dreadful math and typing I was hacked into the high schools main frame.
I could see what everyone was doing and I could control anything. It made me feel powerful. It made me feel like I was above the rest and so-" Suddenly a knock on computer lab door almost made me jump. No, no, no!
"U-um! I-I-I'm b-busy! C-come back a-another time!" I mentally smacked myself across my face, they're probably suspicious now! Good going!
"Open the door. Now." The voice was cold yet something about it made me want to open the door. But I couldn't. If they see what I'm doing straight to jail I go.
"Come b-b-back an-another ti-time!"
Before I could say anything more the door bursted open. Standing there was Dan Howell.  Wait. How did he know where I was?
"D-dan?! What a-are you doing here?! How did you know I was here!" Ignoring what I was saying, he walked to my computer and looked at the screen. "You fucking idiot! The FBI are on their way! They're tracing the fucking computer!" I felt all the color drain from my face.
He started undoing all my work. The work I spent hours on! "What at you doing! I worked on that for hours," I asked even though I knew the bloody answer. He was getting rid of everything. He was covering my tracks but the question is why?

He turned to me and slapped me across the face. I stumbled backwards, shocked. "I'm saving your ass. Now I fucking suggest you apply those skills you have and undo the rest of your bloody mistake!"  
Quickly I stood and went to my computer, undoing my mess until there was nothing left. My work was like it never existed and it only took five minutes, new record. Dan quickly looked out my window and let out a relief sigh. "We gotta get out of her-" Suddenly a loud alarm went off, it was the evacuation alarm for the whole school. People, students, were running down the halls. Dan put on his hood and quickly pulled on a mask. I just panicked. "Fuck FUCK FUCK!" I looked at dan and he had a black mask on his face. A mask?
"Follow me if you want to live," Dan said, for some reason I just wanted to fuck him then and there.
I followed him as he walked into the hallway and walked the opposite direction. "Sir! It's an evacuation!" I looked at the confused lady. It was my biology partner, Ruth.
I froze, staring at her. "Philip! What are you doing?! There is an emergency! You have to get out!"
"Everyone evacuate! Now!" I looked past Ruth and saw them. The FBI near the computer lab, he was showing kids where to go.
I felt a warm hand grab me and pull me, it was dan. Ruth just stood there lost.
"Next time I'm leaving you," Dan whispered harshly. I just nodded. This wasn't the Dan I knew, it was a more dark mysterious version of him. A hot dark and mysterious version.
"Hey! You two! Evacuation is this way!" Dan kept dragging me, ignoring the man. The man was holding a gun, a big one as well. He was part of the FBI, you could tell.
"You!" The man grabbed my arm and yanked me away, Dan stopped facing the other direction. I tried to break free, out of fear but he just tightened his grip. "Evacuate the area! Now." I just stared at the armed official, all of these happened because I couldn't control myself.
"Go!" He practically threw me as he held up his gun at Dan. Oh my god.
"Turn around! Now!" Dan turned slowly. The officer froze, his hands shook. "You. We should have know it was you."
Then all the pieces clicked, the mask, full black clothing, and the dark mysterious attitude, Dan was the same person I saw on the news. The one who took out twenty cops.
Before the cop could react, Dan took out two hand guns and crossed fired them. The cop fell dead from where he stood. Well maybe not dead, maybe he was passed out but I had no idea. Yet the sight of blood, wasn't scary. It almost made me feel, alive.
"Lets go," Dan said grabbing me and now half sprinting. I could hear people now screaming. Was this all a dream? Am I just dreaming that my school crush is a FUCKING criminal!
We ran up the staircase which lead to who knows where.
It was tiring but as soon as we reached the top we had to climb a ladder! A motherfluffing ladder!
Once we reached the top, we were trapped on the schools roof. A helicopter was right above us, filming. Dan grabbed me and ran to the edge since officals were right behind us. Soon we were surrounded, they all pointed their guns at Dan. There was no way out, that didn't include death. We were on the edge of the roof and I knew we had to surrender if we wanted to live.
"SaYoNaRa," Dan said but his voice more more robotic and staticky. A voice synthesiser.
I was confused for a moment before Dan fell backwards, dragging me with him.
I couldn't help but scream. Scream as I plummeted to my death. Suddenly, dan pulled me close as he pulled a red string, a parachute emerged. He had that the whole time?
Once we reached the floor, Dan went berserk, he shot at any human near by. Why? I had no idea. He lead me into a black van and drove off, shooting through the window. This wasn't a dream. I know that now.

2016

That little "accident" made me and dan famous worldwide. Best part is they don't know it's us. When that incident happened my classmate Ruth said I was kidnapped since Dan dragged me. There was a whole search party for me and everything. They said I was dead and gave up. I'm still that missing boy but that boy grew up.
I walked into Dans office to find him writing something? I peered over his shoulder, oh he was just adding up the money we stole earlier. Great. I sat down on his desk and smiled. "Hey Danny boy! I did what you asked! I got the virus installed in the governments main frame! It will fully be activated by twelve sharp and the virus only lasts an hour! So we gotta do it quickly!"
Dan glared at me as I sat on his desk. I felt a chill down my spin and got off the desk. "Get the Jet ready, we're about to make history," Dan said. I couldn't help but feel excited.
--------
We didn't, we failed. They detected the virus ahead of time. We lost and I hate losing.

I sat on the chair as they placed a metal helmet on my head.
He left me.
He abandoned me.
He didn't love me.
"Now once more, what is your name?" The man asked as I struggled to escape from what held me down. "Well then, have it your way," the tall, old man said. "Let's give him a reason to answer to me." Suddenly a surge of electricity shocked my body and I screamed. The pain was unbearable, it felt like my skull was being split into two. Once the shock was over I fell numb. Has this what I've been reduced to? A helpless boy again?
"Ready to answer?" I shook my head slowly. I was sworn to keep Dans secret, if I told I would be in more trouble than he would be. No matter what I couldn't just stab him in the back. Why? Because I love him.
Another surge of electricity shocked my whole body, I could feel the last bit of my sanity drift away.
