Abandoned

Subconscious

November 27th, 2005

I have a new friend here. His name is Benjamin. Yesterday after I came out off Dr.Sprouse's office (I'm never going back in there ever again!) I walked into the rec room and he was sitting by the window where I usually sit because I'm not allowed to go outside. So I sat next to him and I started doodling on a piece of paper and he kept staring at me. I stopped doodling and I stared back at him, but he didn't say anything. He was creeping me out. 

" Hi" I had said.

"Hello" He said back. He kept staring at me too! It was so scary!

"My name is Gabriel" I had said back.

"Benjamin is my name" He said.

"Why are you staring at me?" I know it was rude to ask, but he was staring at me for a really long time! Hasn't his family told him it's rude to stare at people? My mommy did tell me, but I couldn't help it. And! Since she's not here, I can do what I want.

"Because I like you" He said. He was creeping me out.

"You don't know me!" I kind of shouted.

"So? I like you. Want to be my friend?" He said, then he smiled at me. He confused me for a few second, but I decided not to turn down anyone who actually wanted to be my friend. Honestly, it is kind of lonely here without anyone to talk to.

"Sure." I smiled back at him. He started staring out the window, looking at the patients playing outside.

"So how come you aren't outside with the rest of them?" He had asked me. His tone of voice was serious.

"Dr.Sprouse told me I'm not allowed to go outside" I said, I sounded irritated.

"hmm, why not?" he sounded very interested, he kept staring out of the glass.

"I don't know. Why aren't you outside?" I asked. Benjamin turned to look at me.He has brown hair, about as long as mine, and golden brown eyes.

"They told me that they don't want me to hurt anyone" The smiled he offered looked devilish. He interested me.

"How come I've never seen you around here then? I'm always inside." I asked, I was a bit too curious, my mom would have slapped me already if she saw how many questions I was asking this stranger.

"I'm usually in my room" he said. I nodded. 

"hey! Want to know a secret?" He said, his face looked very happy. 

"sure." I shrugged. He grinned widely and came closer to me. I started getting scared as he came closer to my ear. 

"I killed my parents" He grinned and got up and walked away.

I've never been so stunned in my entire life.

Benjamin is my new best friend, he's cool.
