Kaine Stanislav

It's definitely the weirdest friendship you've ever had. One day, you both just happened to sit down on the same bench at the same time, and the two of you started talking. Talking turned into rants, swears, and laughter. You've now both been meeting for 6 months. You get off your crappy night job that you work to save for school, and he gets done with his job or a party, and you both go to the park and start talking. He's sarcastic and cold, but a good talker. He'll brush on his past and dislike of women, but mostly about his modeling and one night stands with ironically women. You wonder if he thinks you're male. You are androgynous, but being misgendered never bothered you, and you found his stories engaging. You didn't want him to change, so you decided to not worry about it. Last week was the final morning you were able to meet up. You hesitated on telling him, but knew you had to. You explained how you'd be starting school and how you have a new job lined up to fit your hours. You were thinking he'd be chill about it, exchange contacts and plan to grab food. Instead, he just got up and walked off. You didn't even get the chance to tell him you were going to the Ivy Leage "Ox College" on scholarship. Then, before you knew it, your first day came. As you walk into the building with your only other friend, Tia, you hear laughter and turn over. A man with bleach blonde hair and bright brown eyes walks with a smile. He has a turtle neck and gloves on, fitting for the Alaska weather. It was the guy from the park, the same cranky and tired guy from the park now all happy and personable. Women are watching him like cats on a bird. "That's Kaine." Tia says, "He's the college "Prince" and a major player. He'll sleep with any girl, and throws a ton of parties. He's also a part time model, and rumor has it comes from a rich and powerful Mafia family." I can't help but quirk my brow as I watch my live action Jekyll and Hyde, still hurt by how he walked off last week.
