It's senior year. Time to party!
If you like parties, that is.
Unfortunately for Ben, he did not like parties. Too many people, too much commotion. Stuffed into too small a space. Made him anxious and uncomfortable. Why had he even come to such an event if it made him feel this way? Well, it was more for his mother's sake than his own. He spent so much time inside, in his room. It wasn't healthy to be shut in all the time. Not that he could really help it, what with his inability to function on the same level as other people. Social norms were lost on him. He didn't understand their humor, or anything they found entertaining. He had made it through school on his attractiveness alone. His above average height, dark hair, and somewhat bulky physique, due to his hobby of weightlifting, which he enjoyed mostly because he could do it alone. He was thankful for the shallowness of your average high school female.
"Come on, Ben," came a voice. "Dance!" It was Stella Connor, one of the just-pretty-enough-to-matter girls. Every school had this girl. The one who made up for her average looks with "personality" and far too much make-up, and alchohol. Lots of it. Ben was fairly sure that she was drunk already, even though she didn't look it. He wondered if he was jumping to conclusions as he was dragged out of his seat and into the center of the living room. He tried to catch a good look at her face as she flailed about before him. She pressed up against his front, and came far too close. Ben pushed her away. The poor girl went bowling over the coffee table behind her and crumpled to the floor. He assumed that his first inclination had been correct.
There was an angry man in his face. One of the few students larger than he was. He was yelling obscenities and shoving Ben, as the smaller young man tried to back away, adverse to the loud buffoon in his face. They were outside a moment later, in the front yard. Ben did not remember passing through the door. Or anything after he hit thr ground..
