Bite Me

You do everything together? Yeah, we all have our secrets. Okay, so now that I know, tell me what you got.

Oh shush! You make it sounds so wrong. We can both duplicate and… well I can teleport.

That's the point. Duplicate? You mean I'll have to deal with more than just two of you? It was hard enough before. Oh teleport huh? I knew someone who can do that.

Of course! I wouldn’t go anywhere without my bro. Well you know how we are! We keep ourselves private about somethings. Especially stuff like this!

You do everything together? Yeah, we all have our secrets. Okay, so now that I know, tell me what you got.

Hello people! The Wright brothers have arrived.

Mason! Is Christian here too? I didn't know you were "special" in this way.

I don't know Dimitri. You figure it out.

Then figure it out before I leave forever. Right because the way my life is going certainly is showing me that.

then what do you want me to do Artemis?

I don't know...Find some way to prove that at some point you actually did care about me. It doesn't matter what I want, the world is hell bent on taking everything away from me.

It’s almost Friday, we should go get a drink.

I think that's exactly what I need.

There is no better time than the present. Is that how the saying goes? 

I think you got it. So what are we doing?

No. Don’t you dare think that. Not even for a second. You are better than me Artemis…way better. You deserve more than me.

You can't say that Dimitri, you didn't know me before this school. Please stop with the self-loathing, it's not helping you or me or anyone so just stop.

Then let’s make it a date. Ah, a pretty girl who doesn’t smoke. I like that.

You've known me five minutes and you're already asking me out on a date? Thanks I guess?

You’ll have to wait to find out. Smoke?

Patience isn't my strongest suit. No thanks, I'd rather not kill myself slowly, if I'm going to do that, it'll be big and dramatic I assure you.

No of course it does! It matters more than anything else to me. I wasn’t thinking straight ok? I just….-sighs and sits down- Just do it already Artemis. just hit me. I know you want to. Just hit me and leave.

If you weren't thinking straight then please tell me exactly what you were thinking when you decided to fuck your best friend. Who was practically my only friend might I add. I'm not going to hit you Dimitri. I just-I don't understand why I wasn't good enough for you.

You’d be surprised of all the things I can do in an afternoon.

Oh? Enlighten me.

Oh, you are a firey one! Maybe just an afternoon with you will be enough.

Fiery is one way of describing me I suppose. You wouldn't be able to keep up.

It wasn’t like that…I just….it’s like programmed in me.  My whole life I’ve never stopped and enjoyed what I’ve had.  keep things changing. The one time I didn’t I had my heart shattered. I never thought I’d feel that way again. And then I met you…..and now it scared the living shit out of me. So I did what I’ve always done. I ran from it…but none of that made it right….I didn’t realize that until it was to late.

It's programmed into you? Well it looks like the universe was programmed to make sure that I stay alone and mad at the world. So you're scared of shattering your own heart but when it comes to mine it just doesn't matter? You self serving prick. 

That’s wonderful! What are your plans for the summer?

You and sarcasm are obviously not friends. Stay here, hate the world.

God, this town is dull already. Anyone have a remedy?

Jump off a roof.
