I was still sitting in my camping chair, stunned, when Alex came back, with two hot dogs for me.
But all I could think about was what the hell is wrong with Blake... because there had to be something wrong right? I mean why the hell would he have such sad eyes for no reasons? Or maybe he was just trying to make me feel bad... ya that's something he'd probably do...
"There you go Kitty," Alex said, handing them to me, snapping me out of my thinking.
I thanked him absentmindedly, still trying to figure out why the hell would Blake act like that.
"What's wrong?" Alex asked me, sitting back in his chair.
"Hmmm?"
"You have something on your mind."
"Ya, well... I think I might have said something wrong... does Blake get offended easily?" I asked frowning.
"What do you mean?" he asked, before taking a big bite from his hamburger.
"I don't know... I think I said something mean and now Blake's mad at me..."
"And that's a problem because?"
"I don't like having people mad at me, you know that!"
"Ya well, you kinda worked for it you know... Half of the time you speak with him, you insult him. That was bound to bite you back at some point," Alex chuckled.
"Hey! It's not like he's a gentlemen either, I mean please he turns everything into sexual innuendos and is always using freaking pick up lines!"
"Ya but he's not telling you "you're an ass" every two seconds."
"Whose side are you on, young man?" I exclaimed, turning to look at him fully.
"Fine, be like that," Alex laughed, shaking his head and rolling his eyes.
"I hate you," I mumbled and laid back in my chair
"No, you love me because you know I'm right," Alex said with a half smile.

"No, no, I'm pretty sure I hate you..." I pouted.
Alex just laughed and ruffled my hair, but I slapped his hand away.
"Aww, don't get mad at me Kitty. I mean I still love you even though you're a meany. That should count for something," he chuckled.
I raised my head, looking at the still blue sky, breathing in and out slowly.
The truth was I wasn't mad at Alex, I was more like mad with myself. I mean what the hell had I done wrong again?
I ate the rest of my food in silence, listening to everyone conversation around me, but not really listening at the same time.
When I was finished, I looked around, trying to find Blake, so I could go see him to understand what the hell was wrong with him I guess, or at least try to apologize...
"Do you know where Blake went?" I asked Alex, interrupting his conversation with Connor about how hot their asses looked in their spandex football pants.
"Sorry Kitty, I don't."
"I think I saw him walk to the deck a little while ago," Connor told me.
"Thanks!"
I got up from my seat, taking my M&M's with me, you know as a peace gesture, and made my way through the trail, towards the Creek.
But then when I could see the deck, instead of finding Blake alone, I saw Catherine, sitting there with him.
For some reason, my pace slowed and I watched intently the scene in front of my eyes.
Catherine leaned her head on Blake shoulders, and then Blake's arm wrapped around her waist, his head resting over hers, and my eyes were bulging.
WHAT THE HELL?
What was THAT supposed to mean?
And then I could hear what they were saying...
"Easy for you to say..." Blake mumbled.
"I meant it... the truth is bound to come out at some point..." Catherine answered.
"That's what scares me..." Blake said.
Oh god, oh dear mother of god...
Is Catherine cheating on Mark with Blake? Oh my god, that would be perfect, just freaking perfect!
I can't believe she would do something like that to Mark! They're so perfect for each other! What is she thinking?
Cause I mean come on... "the truth is bound to come out"?
Dear god...

And just the way they're standing...
And then hadn't Catherine been all "Blake's a good guy, there's a nice side to him"...
Oh god, oh god, oh go-
"Hey Lexi!" Catherine suddenly exclaimed while her head turned towards where I was.
Damn it! I'm spotted!
Weird thing, they didn't split apart like I would have guess they would...
"Hey guys, I didn't mean to interrupt or anything... not that I'm saying that there's something to interrupt, I'm just saying you know, if... ya rambling... I'm going to shut up now..." I said and turned around heading for anywhere far away from here.
But before I could walk away, I saw Mark coming from the trail.
Oh crap... oh crap crap crap!
"There you are!" he said, and then I turned my head back, to look at Catherine and Blake, expecting them to finally separate because they got caught, but instead Catherine pinched Blake's cheek, and he ruffled her hair, before she got on her feet.
Okay... I'm extremely confused now...
"Stop trying to take advantage of my girlfriend Eaton!" Mark said laughing.
"It's not taking advantage if she willingly comes to me..." Blake trailed, smirking a little.
Okay, this situation is just getting more and more confusing...
"Is this true Cath?" Mark asked, smiling.
"Well, Blake's hot you know," Catherine said, waving the matter with her hand and then laughed, Mark joining her.
Okay, seriously, what's going on here?
"Hey Cath! Remember what I said, I'm not kidding about your face!" Blake warned, when Mark and she started to walk back in the trail.
"Don't worry hysterical pre-teenage girl," she said rolling her eyes and then left with Mark, leaving an extremely bemused Lexi standing by the deck.
"You know, confusion suits you well Pumpkin," Blake snorted.
I stared at him, frowning and then walked towards him.
"Okay, I'm like really really lost here... Care to explain what I just saw?"
"And why would I do that?" Blake asked me, as I sat beside him, my feet dangling off the deck and in the water.
"I brought M&M's?" I said, offering him the bag.
Blake rolled his eyes, but still took and handful of candy.
"If you insist, our families are pretty close. Catherine's dad owns the art gallery downtown, so her father and mine are friends, so are our mothers, oh and I'm friends with her half-brother Josh... so ya... that wasn't me hitting on my mate's little sister so don't get you panties in a notch Pumpkin, plus a bro would never hit on another bro's girlfriend," Blake explained, while eating my M&M's.
Hmmm... that actually made sense...
Wow, I did jump on conclusion pretty fast, didn't I?
"Didn't think you had enough morals to follow the bro code!" I said and then regret it a little because I hadn't come here to insult him more, but to apologize and that didn't really help my cause.
But it was just too easy to give snotty replies with Blake... and it was actually kind of fun...
"Did you have a legitimate reason to come here, or you were just planning on annoying me?"
"Oh so now I annoy you?"
"Yes, actually, you're getting into one of those stalking not-even-girlfriend that attack my inbox. I know I'm delicious and all, but I expected more from you Pumpkin," Blake said smirking.
Well that was more like the normal Blake!
"Well to be honest I came here to apologize," I told him, resisting the urge to bite back with another insult.
"And why would you apologize Pumpkin?" Blake asked and then leaned his head back, throwing a handful of M&M's in his mouth.
"I don't know... looked like I hurt your feelings back there."
"Aww, but don't you know that Pumpkin, I don't have feelings, remember? I'm basically a penis on two legs, searching for his next victim."
"Please, let's not speak about your penis, I'm trying to be nice here!"
"And what, talking about it, is just turning you on so much? Admit it you picture me naked all the time!" Blake said and wiggled his eyebrows, smirking.
"Idiot!" I said and punched his shoulder, earning myself a laugh from him.
"Anyway, thanks for the apology I guess..." Blake said frowning and smiling a little at the same time.
"You better be thankful, cause trust me, you won't get a lot of those!"
"Oh, I feel really privileged," Blake said, nodding, but smirking.
"Good!"
"Oh and... that's for calling me a pig," Blake said and then grabbed me around the waist and threw us both into the water.

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.
