HalfDoomed

He is compelled to follow them and witnesses as a boy about his age murders another teenager. But was this taking of another's life justified? Remy soon finds that he is unable to separate himself from these people and must get closer to this boy in order to find out what brought him into a situation where he needed to kill someone.

What Happened (Novel)

Then, the night before classes started, Remy had his first genuine conversation with Allen. It happened when he had come back from dinner with his friends and Remy was on his bed watching Netflix.


"Oh, my god! Are you watching Big Mouth?" Allen exclaims.


"Yeah," Remy replies without looking away from the screen.


"I fucking love that show. Oh, do you watch Rick and Morty, too?"


Remy finally pauses the show and makes eye contact, "That is literally my favorite show of all time! What else do you watch?"


And the boys went on and on about different shows they watched, recommending new ones and quoting ones they had ingrained in their memories.


And that night, when Remy went to bed, he felt giddy and excited about the next day. It was just a simple conversation, and that probably shouldn't mean a lot to him, but it did. It made him feel confident. It made him feel like an approachable person who people would want to talk to. And though this emotion made Remy feel energetic and therefore unable to sleep for over an hour, it was still nice to feel after the last week of dreariness.
