JayBelzebabe's Book Journey

His future was too bright. I knew it was coming 😭😭😭

I turned a corner, saw a flash of neon. I froze. I remembered the slap bracelet from Tommy’s car: hot yellow with the two drawn hearts. The bracelet sat in its plastic bag in a drawer. A token of Tommy’s summer romance. I had found her, hadn’t I? Tommy’s secret girlfriend. She was there in the hallway, the slap bracelet on her wrist— “What are you looking at?” And my eyes slowly traveled past the bracelet, down the arm, to the rest of the body who wore it. I scowled because I stared at Will Peterson. He taped a volunteer flyer to the wall. Even when I tried to get away from Michael, I couldn’t avoid him. His brother was an extension of him. They were like parasites.

🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍🌈???? 👀 👀 👀

There’s no way she’s actually gonna successfully eat this kid, right?

Right???

"Maybe the girl would get both the sweetness and the pain. They could dance together one moment until Michael shoved her in the next. It all depended on him. He would ultimately decide how it all went. It didnt matter whether he chose kindness or cruelty or both. It enraged me that he had so much power. He could be a parasite or he could be warmth. The other girl had no idea... I decided then and there that I would feast that night. He would be the main course. This time I would chew."

this part had me shooketh. i know it's wrong and bad to yknow, kill and eat someone but, like...is it always? probably. but still. i can truly imagine ronnie's burning righteous anger that shifts to cold resolve here. i'm assuming she does not (?) do this in the end but we will see.
