The “Proxy” At school every one had a place in a group, I was lucky enough to be close friends with Jim one of the school’s best soccer players and most popular guy in school. But even doe plenty of teens had a group such as myself there was one person who stood out from the others, his name was Leon.

Leon was different from everybody socially and physically, he was a bit chubby with dark brown eyes, dark brown hair, side burns and both of his eyes had a dark surrounding as if he doesn't sleep. Leon was a strange person and didn't seem like he had friends, even in recess he sits under a tree isolated from everybody and talks alone as if someone was there when there wasn’t anyone in sight. In some occasions people would see him sticking his tongue out for no reason as if he can’t feel it sticking out like he doesn’t even notice it unless someone laughs at him, then he notices and sticks it back in. It’s usually Jim who picks on him about it the most and got everyone to call him Leon the Lizard.

It seemed that everybody saw him as a freak ever since he transferred to our school except one person named Patty. Despite their differences they would sit under the tree together and talk  to each other which was the only time Leon had a smile on his face and acted more normal. I could see that Leon had feelings for Patty but he was too afraid of asking her out until one day Leon brought roses to school for Patty. After 4 months of being friends with her he finally had the courage to ask her out, but it was too late. As Leon arrived at school he saw Patty and Jim kissing next to the tree he would usually stay and talk with her.

Jim was the kind of person who every girl would want to be with and of course Patty was no exception. Heartbroken Leon griped tight the roses and blood sleeked from his hands from the thorns of the flowers but after all dose months of being tortured and treated like a freak that was the first time a single tear drop hit the floor. 2 days have passed and Patty still didn’t talk to Leon as if she completely forgot about him but Jim started to notice that every day Leon would stare at him with anger and aggression. Jim didn’t feel comfortable with this; he stood up, walked and yelled at Leon “What the fuck do you think you’re looking at Freak”. Leon said nothing but looked to his left as if someone was speaking to him; Leon turned back at Jim and strangled him with brutal force. Jim managed to get Leon off him but only with the help of me and 2 others as if Leon had inhuman-like strength. Jim stood up and took out a pocket knife  the he keeps hidden in his pocket and with pure rage swung at Leon; Patty quickly pushed Jim on to the floor hoping she would stop him from killing Leon but Jim still sliced a part of Leon’s skin across his nose and left 2 bleeding wounds. Jim was even more furious, but as he got up to attack Leon, he vanished; nobody knew where Leon had gone or how he managed to escape in a split second as if he had teleported.

Weeks have passed and no one had seen Leon since the fight, as if he had vanished from the face of the earth. Jim was going to celebrate his birthday that week and was planning to throw a huge party with half the school attending it including me and his girlfriend Patty. The party was crowded with happy teens cheering and dancing, but there was something wrong; next to the door there was a strange figure; he wore a greyish green jacket, blue jeans and a smiling Lizard mask. This person had his eyes locked on to Jim as he was dancing with Patty. Jim usually dislikes people coming to a party they weren’t invited to especially people he doesn’t know, but there was so much people Jim didn’t notice him. As the party went on little by little people started to leave exhausted, until there was just about 10 people left and the mysterious figure was still by the door staring at Jim. Jim finally notices him and went to kick the figure out; but as Jim went closer and closer to the figure he looked as if he was getting slower and weaker until he collapsed in front of the figure. The figure pulled out a sharp dagger from his jacket and quickly stabbed Jim viciously 5 times on his back pulling out leaking blood pipes in the process. Everyone screamed until Patty ran at the figure with anger and tears dripping from her eyes but was shocked in fear before she went closer to the masked murder as a tall and slender figure in a suit darker than coal appeared behind the masked murder out of thin air. This was no human it was a creature. It had a pure white face with no facial details on it. Everyone was feeling sick and where about to pass out, but not before the masked murderer went up to Patty’s ear as she was paralyzed in fear and whispered “Welcome to the proxy”.

The next morning everybody woke up but there was no sign of Jim’s body and neither was Patty. Weeks had passed by and the police didn’t find any evidence of what happened that night, there was no blood or finger prints as if nothing happened. The police had contacted me days later and told me that they found Jim's body but his heart was cut out and his face had a strange symbol carved on his forehead which had the shape of an X on a circle and the word “PROXY” was carved on his chest, but they didn’t find any sign of Patty except a picture of her with Leon laying under a rock next to Jim's body with a text on the back that said “We're together again” and the same symbol that was on Jim was under the sentence. Weeks had passed and a strange article had been placed on the front page of the newspaper claiming that 2 mysteries teenagers in a green lizard and a sad paper plate mask had intruded more than 10 houses and abducted 6 teens leaving the same symbol that the police found on Jim’s corpse painted in blood on the walls and the sentence “He controls the proxy”.
