Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Lucy couldn't sleep because of the noise from Phoenix's room. He could hear the noise of their classmate muttering and moaning as they reached the oragasm. He slapped the headset on his ears, facing the mirror to tie his long hair. He winced in pain when he saw his left hand with a wound. 

"The blade of her tooth." He complained and he bathed his hand with alcohol. The whole day ended with nothing for him. His name is Lucifer Cuenca, but the school owner who is a friend of his father calls him Lucy.

Apart from the Priest being his Father's friend, he was reluctant to mention his full name. Because it is said to be the name of the devil. He did not know if he would thank his Mother who passed away because of his strange name or get angry because he was literally a demon.

Lucy is the oldest in the whole class because he has been a repeater three times and has taken different courses. He reached twenty-seven and still did not get the diploma. 

He is the lead guitarist and lead singer of the band ‘THE FALLEN ANGELS’. Ms. Capa was the one who named this band.  The three boys are not only famous at school, but also in other places. He was mistaken for a Gangster look because of the tattoos surrounding both his arms.

He has insisted on being LUCIFER because of being a Gangster look, he is able to hide his true sadness. When you’re a Gangster, everyone will get  scared off. Often what you are doing is pure nonsense. But it never crossed his mind that the three of them would go on illegal things. He has only one dream in life, to be a Musician. But he is a BS PSYCHOLOGY student. In accordance with the wishes of his Father.

Lucifer  is the son of the owner of Cuenca's Furniture, the number one leading supplier in the Philippines. But until then, because his father loved his older brother more like a dog one after another for money. 

The first course he took was Accountancy after moving to the Law course. But in the end, this is what he chose to take seriously as his Father enrolled him. His Father wanted him to be a Professional and have a hefty license to be proud of his businessman friends. But Lucy had a different attitude, he wanted something different. He did not want to be the lifelong shadow of his father. They often quarrel with his older brother because he wants to be alone with the money that comes from their father.

Another reason, his stepmother was too hot like lava every time she saw Lucifer. How not to heat up? Lucifer was the boy version of his biological mother.

Lucy managed to get out and he could still hear the moan in the other room. Lucy walks around to get to the nearby food stall. He often hangs out here just to smoke. It is next to the studio owned by Phoenix. He is also expected in the group because he is good at cars. This has also become his sideline to use as a supplement to save for his dream guitar that he can't buy. 

Lucy has a lot of inheritance and money, but all of it is held by his Father because he is waiting for him to finish his education. Also, his Father doesn’t trust him because he will definitely just waste it on vice.

As Lucy lay outside, he saw his classmate with full bangs walking down the street. He looked at his watch and saw that it was nine o'clock in the evening and that she was coming home too late. 

More and more, confused people scattered around their corner. Amira was holding the pepper spray as she walked home. 

"Mom you're just here next to me." Amira whispered, she felt someone following her, so she walked faster. She could see even more of its shadow on the side. A tall man who you thought was a ghost or hoodlum was following her. 

What she was still scared of, was that there was still smoke in the air.

 "Lord take care of me." Amira whispered again. 

"Ehem." Suddenly coughing a big voice.

 Facing him, she did not hesitate to bathe it with pepper spray. 

"What the hell?! Fuck my eyes!" Lucy almost lost his sight with the extreme pain in his eyes. "Oh my.." Amira panicked and she didn't know what to do.

"Fuck it! don't see anything!!" Amira shouted and became even more nervous then suddenly ran away, to get some help that she would treat the young man. 

"Help!" Lucy shouted and sat down on the street with great pain in his eyes. 

Amira reached the house and hurried into her room. "Amara, why did you stay up late again?!" Manang Doris asks. 

"Help me Manang Doris, I made a mistake! I think he might get blind!" She shivered as she stole the things in the room.

"Wait blind? Don't say you used that?" Manang Doris pointing at her pepper spray. Amira nodded. "I, I did it!” 

“Who is that, come on!" Manang Doris pulled her and they left the house again. Amira returns with her Manang Doris where her stupidity took place. "Where is it?" a question from Manang Doris.

"I just left him here." She said scared and looked around because, maybe that's where the man with her had gone before. 

"Come on, it might be dangerous for us to come back here." Manang Doris uttered and they went home again. 

She could not forget what had happened to the man she had been with earlier in the female comfort room. 

"What does that look like? He's definitely just from here. And one more thing, can you be sure  that he’s good or bad?" Manang Doris asked her. 

"He just looks like a Gangster. He has a lot of tattoos on his arm and he's tall ..." Amira stopped when she remembered the handsome face of Lucifer. 

"Okay, let’s just forget about him. You need to eat dinner, your food is waiting,” voice from  Manang, Doris and Amira left the room.

At the backdoor Amira entered and there she saw the food. 

"How are you Amara?" a question from her Father. 

Amira did not answer and decided to eat. If she could just swallow it all, she would.

 "You still don't speak? How many years have you been acting like a mute." He said and  sat down in front of her, "How long do you want to live outside with the maids? I won't even let you out of the house," her Father added and he didn't get anything from Amira, because she didn't answer. 

Amira preferred to just bend down and put away the food. 

"I'll get you treated to New York." He grabbed her arm and Amira struggled. She ran out and left her Father.

 Amira was angry and she clenched her fist in rage. 

"I'll report you to Mom,” she whispered to herself and sat outside the house. She feels full of hatred every time she sees her father.

On the other hand...

Lucifer faces the mirror and watches the redness in his eyes, especially his rash cheeks. "F*cking weirdo! What's scary to me? I'm too handsome to be scared of!" He said this and he still couldn't open his eyes properly. 

The surroundings were nice and peaceful and he could no longer hear muttering in the other room. Lucifer just shook and went back to bed. He has good and long patience especially in such situations. Only his family is exhausting his patience. 

The next day at School, Amira holds the books and arranges them inside the Guidance Office. She looked out the glass window and saw Lucifer pass by. "I hope I don't just go to school now!." she whispered and hid. She was ashamed of what she did. "Wasn't he blind?" she asked herself again.

 "Amira, what are you doing there?" a question from Ms. Capa. 

"I just cleaned." She was lying.

 "How are you? Are you already talking to your classmates?" 

Amira  just shook her head and Ms. Capa sighed.  For years she had repeatedly tried to talk to other people and socialize.

Amira was mistaken for a lunatic throughout the school.

 "I really don't want to." she answers. 

"I won't let you go Hija." Ms. Capa said and touched her hair. "It's time for you to come to class," Ms. Capa added and Amira obeyed. 

When Lucy reached the classroom the teacher watched her and stood up. "Are you stoned Mr. Cuenca?" The old man Professor asked Lucifer. 

Lucifer just nodded and grinned. "I'm not kidding Lucifer Cuenca, are you going to school  and getting addicted? Do you want me to report you to the Police?!" the Professor  exclaimed. 

Phoenix and Azza saw that Lucy's cheeks were red. They knew that their friend was angry.

“I am not stoned!” Lucifer shouted. 

"Your eyes are red after you say you weren't stoned?"

"Yes, my eyes were red, but it doesn't mean I'm stoned. Don't be a dumbass Mr. Campo. Someone sprayed pepper spray in my eye, that;s why it turned red!” he said sarcastically while Phoenix and Azza laughed slightly.

Their teacher's head grew hotter like hell. "So you're in my  class over and over again and can't finish because of your demon behavior. Your name belongs to you! You're a rude kid" The Professor shouted at him.

 "I'm not rude, I just answered your question." Lucifer uttered it and sat down. 

Honestly, he was hard to look at. His eyes were still slightly blurred and red. He didn’t care and wore shades. He knew his teacher looked angry, but he didn't care. He just looked around and there he saw Amira again.
