NEXT MORNING••

Michael flicked his eyes open slowly,when the reflection of sun hit his face.

“God,am alive!!”He uttered unbelievably.

“How are you feeling now?”Mrs Carlos asked, coming out from the bathroom,with a bowl of water. She actually went to the bathroom,to get cold water so as to ease his burning temperature.

“Saw you unconscious last night in your room”She continued when Micheal didn’t reply.

“I’m fine,it’s…it’s… normal”Micheal replied slowly.

“It’s normal? That I saw you naked and unconscious in your room? This isn’t the first or the second,so what’s happening?”She questioned inquisitively and Michael sighed.

“I’m fine mom! Trust me”He said with a reassuring smile and his mom nodded reluctantly.

“If you said so”His mom uttered and Michael let out a shrug.

His mom stood up and walked out of the room,the moment she left, Micheal stood up and went over to the mirror,he lifted his shirt and began staring at the Deep scar on his tummy and he sighed tiredly. He turned his back on the mirror and there stood again,a scar on his back. He kept staring at it,his mind flashing back to what happened eight years ago,he closed his eyes tightly,as the tears came rushing down his cheeks on its own.

He grabbed the table tightly,as the tears kept pouring in handfuls, freely.

“I’ll never forgive you,I won’t”He uttered,with so much hatred in his voice.

BLOOMING COLLEGE••

“Hey babe”Mia waved happily at Valentina who returned the wave.

“How are you feeling now? Hope ya cheeks doesn’t hurt??”Mia asked and Valentina chuckled.

“Well thankfully,it doesn’t”She shrugged and Mia nodded before turning, stylishly searching for Micheal with her eyes,but couldn’t see him in class.

“Okay where is he??”She asked inwardly and turned to Valentina.

“Have you seen Micheal?”She asked and Valentina shook her head.

“That’s bad”she pouted and Valentina shot her an awkward glance.

“You got me though. I’m worried”She replied and Valentina laughed.

“I didn’t ask Yunno”She uttered with a grin.

“But you obviously might be thinking, isn’t it?”Mia scoffed and Valentina chuckled.

“Well well,he spends most of his time on the rooftop”Valentina told her.

“Doing what exactly?”Mia inquired.

“I don’t know”Valentina shrugged and Mia nodded slowly.

❆•❆•❆•❆

ROOFTOP••

Mia walked slowly and cautiously towards the rooftop,but stopped at the entrance when she heard a low sniffs, coming from someone who was seated on the bench,and that person turned out to be Micheal.

“Is he crying?”She thought and exhaled slowly. She gathered the courage and approached him completely,but her eyes grew wide in awe when she saw what he was doing.

He was crying bitterly, while hurting himself with a lighted cigar which he placed on his left Palm,the cigar was giving him a burn on the palm,but he cared less as he continued what he was doing, oblivious of Mia’s presence.

“What the heck??”Mia screamed inwardly, refusing to believe what she was seeing.

He was in pains! He was crying,so why hurting himself?? Why doing that??

Mia bent down and took the cigar forcefully from him, before throwing it on the floor then began matching on it with her shoes.

“Are you kidding me??”She shouted at Micheal,who only smirked and stood up from the bench.

He began walking out, without uttering a word to her.

“Strong boys don’t cry,or do they??”Mia asked slowly and Micheal immediately halted on his tracks,the tears began flowing again and this time, Mia had to pull him back by the arm before forcing him to sit.

“Here,wipe your tears”Mia gave him a hanky and he took it slowly from her.

“Well,I haven’t seen such a weak guy before. You’re freaking weak, jeez!! Crying on the rooftop? What if someone else sees you?”Mia scolded him like a kid.

“Like I give a f-__-k??”Micheal scoffed and Mia rolled eye.

“Stop acting strong when you aren’t. Wait,you’re passing through a lot? Does that mean you shouldn’t smile often? You don’t know that smiling helps a lot huh? It relieves one okay? And besides,if you think you’re going through a lot,then you must be kidding,cos I’m f-__-king going through a lot too”Mia uttered and Micheal turned to her,the same cold expression as always.

“You talk to much and I h@?? it”he scoffed and Mia gasped.

“You’re rude dude!!”Mia shouted and Micheal scoffed.

“Never said I was nice to begin with”Micheal hissed and stood up, trying to walk out but Mia quickly blocked his way.

“What??”

“My pay”Mia smirked, while Micheal kept staring at her blankly, both hands in his pocket.

❆•❆•❆•❆

SCHOOL GARDEN••

Valentina quickly rushed inside the garden,only to see Sofia and her minions waiting already.

She immediately went on her knees,but the moment her knees met with the ground,she screamed out tearfully,then looked down and that was when she noticed the broken bottles on the ground.

They intentionally left the broken pieces there,just to wound her.

She looked at her knees,to see it bleeding slowly,her knees peeled off a little though.

“Now cat, freaking knee well okay?”José patted her back and she clamped her lips together, before kneeling down again.

The broken piece pierced through her knees, giving her another cut and she shut her eyes, leaving her tears to flow freely.

“You’re paying for what your f-__-king friend did to me yesterday. She dared slap Sofia, isn’t it? Not just any Sofia,but Sofia Santiago?? How daring”Sofia chuckled and flicked her fingers,Camila immediately brought out the scissors with them and gave it to josé.

“I want her clothes to be completely destroyed”Sofia smirked and josé immediately swam to action,she grabbed Valentina by the arm and tore off the sleeve of her gown,after that she proceeded to cutting the gowns designs which was on the front of the gown,a rose petal flower to be precise.

She began cutting her clothes, while Valentina kept kneeling down, crying her eyes out.

“Awwn,she looks cute!!!!”Camila jumped up and Sofia chuckled.

“Good dog,you will sleep in school tonight cos I bet you wouldn’t dare walk out in rags!!”Sofia clicked tongue and walked out with her minions.

Valentina fell dejectedly on the ground,her face buried on the ground while she wailed lowly.

❆•❆•❆•❆

“My pay”Mia smirked, while Micheal kept staring at her blankly, both hands in his pocket.

“My pay hmmmm”Mia stretched forth her palms to Micheal,who scoffed loudly.

“Which pay are you f-__-king talking about?”Micheal asked and Mia giggled.

“Consolation pay”she replied, without any blink or stutter.

“Consolation what??”Micheal screamed out angrily.

“Consolation pay dude! I consoled you few minutes ago,when you were busy crying your eyes out, don’t I deserve a pay?? Of course I do”Mia asked and answered at a time, without waiting for Micheal’s reply.

“Okay,I don’t understand. Do you go about consoling people? I never asked you to console me or did I?”Micheal uttered angrily.

“You can choose not to pay me,but I’ll definitely use your weakness against you”Mia muttered and began walking away,but Micheal pulled her back immediately.

“Which weakness is that?”He demanded authoritatively and Mia scoffed.

“Don’t worry, you’ll find out soon”Mia muttered and removed her hand from Micheal’s grip, walking out afterwards.

Micheal wanted to go after,but a hand which grabbed him,restricted him from going further.

“She needs her privacy,you don’t need to force her to talk to you”Miguel said, glaring at Micheal who raised a brow, before letting out a low chuckle.

“And who said I was interested in talking with her?”Micheal retorted and Miguel walked closer to him.

“I don’t need anyone to tell me,I saw it clearly that you were obviously making segzual advance towards….”The rest of the words,got stuck in Miguel’s mouth when Micheal threw a heavy punch on his face, bursting his lips.

“Arrrrgh!!!!”Miguel staggered back slowly,he took his hands to his lips and wiped off the blood with a smirk.

“Does it hurt? It hurts so much, doesn’t it??”Miguel laughed scornfully and Micheal balled his fist tightly.

“Don’t ever come close to me next time,else I might end up ki||ing you”Michael thr_@tened and Miguel began laughing hard.

“Good at giving empty thr_@ts? Just accept you’re the weak one bro”Miguel laughed and Micheal hissed before walking away, leaving Miguel behind.

The moment he walked out,the smile on Miguel’s face disappeared and a smirk got replaced on his face. He folded his hands under his chest, nodding slowly.

“Ya time is ticking slowly Micheal. Be prepared”

AN UNDERGROUND ROOM••

The secret door to the room squeaked open and a Man walked in, clicking his tongue while smirking.

“Long time no see”He laughed scornfully, crouching down before the woman who looked so tattered and ugly.

She was chained to a chair,her skins totally bruised,her lips cracked and pale, dressed in rags like clothes,with a disheveled hair, looking so dirty and unkempt.

He took his hand to her chin, lifting her face up roughly,in a way that their eyes locked.

“What do you want from me? Who are you? And why have you held me captive for years huh?”She asked tearfully,staring at the Man who only grinned scornfully.

“Too bad your memory is gone. But it’ll definitely be back,but not now”He chuckled, running his hands through her thighs.

“What are you talking??”She stuttered and the wicked Man chuckled eviliy.

“You will understand once you sees his head. Don’t worry dear,your memories will come rushing once I bring his head to you. I promised to drink with his skull,and I’m sticking to that”He laughed, confusing the woman more.

What was he talking about? Whose head was he talking about? And what does he mean by she recovering her memories once she sees the person’s head?? A lot of thoughts ran through the woman’s mind when suddenly the Man grabbed her neck choking her mercilessly.

“Ah… ahh!!” She whimpered and the Man quickly claimed her lips, shushing her up immediately.

He kept kissing her roughly, whilst squeezing the living day light,out of her B-__-bs!!

“Always soft as usual”He grinned wickedly,still squeezing her B-__-bs!!

“He..he… Argh!!”She squirmed when the man prod in his finger in her p@zzy!!

“f-__-kkk”he laughed,f-__-king her recklessly with his finger’s.

“Ahhh!!!!”Her painful screams, filled the room,but who was to come to her rescue?? No one,cos the room is sound proof.

❆•❆•❆•❆

BLOOMING COLLEGE•HALLWAY••

“Where the f-__-k is Valentina??”Mia asked rhetorically, throwing her hands tiredly in the air.

She exhaled and stopped walking, tapping her legs lightly on the floor. She shook her head and folded her hands under her B-__-bs, thinking about the possibility of we’re she could be.

She wasn’t present during all the lectures,so where were she? Her face darkened,when she remembered how Sofia and her minions treats Valentina,she clenched her jaw tightly and ran back to their faculty.

“Where the f-__-k is Tina and what did you do to her?”Mia shouted, hitting her palms loudly on the desk,which got Sofia flinching.

She was already packing her notes and textbooks in her backpack,ready to go home.

“And who says I’m her watchman?”Sofia retorted with a scoff and Mia smirked, walking closer to Sofia who stepped back fearfully.

“Hey… don’t come close!!!”José fired, blocking Mia’s path.

🗣️”Another slap is definitely on it’s Way!!”

🗣️”Watching free movies is the trend this days Yunno”

🗣️”Obviously,who doesn’t love free things??”

🗣️”I just wish today’s show is gonna be more spicy”

Sofia glared murderously at the students, making such comments.

“Okay now,what again is happening huh? Hope Sofia didn’t hurt Valentina??”Dario uttered, glaring at Sofia.

“That’s the path Valentina choose though,so I’m not worried”Micheal scoffed and Dario hissed.

“I won’t spare Sofia if by any chance she hurt Valentina”Dario gritted and Micheal scoffed loudly.

“Where the f-__-k is she??”Mia shouted again and Sofia scoffed loudly.

“Like I said, I’m not her watchman,which means I don’t f-__-king know about her whereabouts. Who knows,she might be busy riding a Ç0ç?,after all she’s same as a sl*t!!”Sofia rolled eye and Mia raised her hand to slap her,but stopped Midway when she saw Micheal.

🗣️”Why did she stop??”

“Stunch Man here will help”She thought inwardly and walked to Micheal,who frowned immediately.

“I found out that she has a crush on you,go advise her cos I’m ki||ing her next time she messes with my friend”Mia whispered with a knowing grin.

Sofia just balled her fist tightly, watching as they both discuss.

“What the f-__-k are you saying?”Micheal hissed and tried walking away but Mia pulled him back.

“Imagine telling all the students about you crying on the rooftop, while hurting yourself with a lighted cigar,that sounds great right?”Mia smirked and Micheal rolled eye.

“Do all you want okay? I don’t give a f-__-k!!”He scoffed and Mia nodded before bringing out her phone.

“Hi guys,here to show you a spicy video you wouldn’t want to Miss. Watch as our cold Micheal….”

“Are you insane??”Micheal shouted, grabbing the phone from her.

🗣️”What is going on??”The students asked and Sofia used that as an opportunity to escape with her minions.

All the students attention was now on Micheal and Mia,who was dragging the phone,so none saw her escaping.

“Hey,give it!!!”Mia demanded authoritatively and Micheal scoffed.

“What do you want me to do?”Michael asked calmly and Mia chuckled.

“Tell your stupid crush to tell me where they kept my friend and I’ll delete the video”She uttered and Micheal ruffled his hair before turning to Sofia’s direction,only to see her seat empty.

She was gone.

“The Heck??”Mia screamed with wide eye and turned angrily to Micheal.

“It’s your fault cry…mmm”Mia whimpered when Micheal quickly covered her mouth with his palms while glaring murderously at her.

“I just asked if you’re insane!!”Micheal whispered, holding her tightly and Mia’s breath pitched,she began staring at Micheal’s face, passionately.

A blurry image flashed her mind instantly and she pushed Micheal off immediately.

“Are you fine?”Micheal asked worriedly,but Mia gave no reply to him,she ran out instead.

NIGHT•STREET,CORN STAND••

Arleth packed his bike and walked towards the corn stand to get some for himself.

He was on his way home,when he suddenly started craving for the street corn, and he decided to get at least,three of it for himself.

“Ma’am,how much is one?”He asked.

“Eight peso dear” The elderly woman replied and Arleth nodded before paying her.

He sat down on the empty bench and began munching the corn.

Valentina could be spotted, walking down the streets like a forgotten sheep. Her clothes was torn beyond recognition so she had to wait till everywhere becomes dark.

She sniffs tearfully and continued walking,when she began hearing footsteps behind her.

She scoffed and continued walking, ignoring the footsteps which kept sounding behind her.

In a swift move,four guys blocked her path,staring at her lustfully.

“She’s definitely gonna be sweet down there”The first guy licked his bottom lips,while darting his eyes round her body in a lustful way.

Valentina only held the torn hem of her clothes,staring at them blankly.

“She doesn’t talk? That makes it more sweeter cos she won’t scream. Hahaha”Came the second guys voice.

“What do you want from me?”Valentina asked slowly, avoiding creating awareness.

“Your p@zzy,what else huh?”The third chuckled and made to grab her arm,but Valentina stepped back.

“Don’t come close”She warned, balling her fist’s tightly.

“What is going on over there huh??”Arleth asked, standing up from the bench.

“Is she trying to act stubborn? Surrender willingly gurl,and we won’t have problem”The fourth retorted, grabbing her arms roughly.

“$h|t!!”Arleth muttered and began running towards the scene.

“Let me go motherf-__-ker!!!!”Valentina shouted, giving the fourth guy a hard blow on the face,which bursted his nose and blood began oozing out slowly.

The remaining three guys eyes widened madly.

“You wanna fight don’t you? Then let’s do this”Valentina smirked,throwing her backpack on the ground.

Two guys rushed towards her,but she did a backflip immediately, kicking the first guy hard on the chest,he fell to the ground, wincing painfully, she grabbed the second guy and gave him three consecutive punches on the face, bruising his lips with that.

The first guy that received a blow made to attack her again,but she grabbed his neck and hit his head together with the other guy and they both fell down, rubbing their forehead which was hurting badly.

The last guy rushed to her,but she just stretched forth her right palm,pushing him roughly on the chest and he landed on the ground.

“f-__-k!!!!”He groaned, Valentina ran madly to him and jumped on his chest,then began peppering his face with punches,not sparing him at all.

“It’s okay….”Arleth’s words got stuck in his mouth when Valentina gave him a heavy punch on the nose. As if that wasn’t enough,she jerked him up and threw him to the nearby flower.

“Arrggggg!!!”Arleth winced when his head made contact with the heavy rock, beneath the flower.

“$cvms!!”Valentina spat and began walking towards Arleth,her face glowing murderously.

“I’m….I’m..I’m….not among”Arleth stuttered, shifting back with his butt.

By now,the four guys have already ran for their lives, leaving innocent Arleth to face Valentina.

“Tell that to my grandma,when I’m done with you”Valentina spat as she continued walking towards him.

Arleth’s eyes was wide as f-__-k!! Who the hell was she?
