THE BENEFACTOR (English) 25
"Can I get some of that, Austin?" Hyacinth pawed Austin's meal with her fork. She didn't move her plate even an inch. It was evident that she didn't like what Austin got for her. Yet, that's not enough for her to stop showing him the bruise on her wrist. It was small but very blue. It was impossible to miss it at a glance. "Thank you." Austin saw it. But he didn't comment. Neither did Myriad and nor did Spencer. It was as though they couldn't see her injury. It threw Hyacinth off balance. She can't use the excuse of tasting the dish repeatedly to show off her bruises. Hyacinth had a feeling that the guy won't like it if she use the same fork that she placed in her mouth to pinch his food again. That would offend him. 'Why?' She tug at the cuff of her blazer. Tossing them an accusing glance. 'They couldn't be that unfeeling, right?' They should care for her, somehow. She didn't expect fighting with Felicity last night but she welcomed the bruise, intent to use it on Austin in

Hyacinth forced herself to chuckle warmly. She felt something was not right, but that doesn't mean that she will take Myriad's implications lightly. "What are you trying to say?" She looked at the stage and grinned as the projectors lighted. "Pampered students doesn't have the right to be pardoned of their crimes. Don't you hate people like that, Austin?" Austin opened his mouth to respond, but he stopped when a sharp sound from the sound system broke out. Hyacinth lowered her eyes and her mouth curve up to a smirk. Melody's magnified voice echoed inside the hall. Vicious and humiliating. "Sarah is a stupid fat girl. Why do you think she's befriending us? Because majority of the students doesn't like her! Tasha and I can tolerate her smelly attitude but that bitch fails to show gratitude every time. Who does she think she is?" They were all stupid. All stupid to think that Hyacinth will be tolerant of them. She won't spare anyone who thinks she's below average. Sarah, Tasha

"You took matters into your hands. Do you think you will be rewarded after this scandal?" A middle-aged teacher didn't flinch when she noticed the three pair of eyes staring at her with undivided attention. She knew, in her mind, that these students didn't do anything wrong. They were pushed by the circumstances to fight back and give as much as the trouble they had taken. Still, the director is sitting right across the room and she can't show impartial judgements. "You're lucky that there were not a lot of outsiders when this happened, lest we won't be able to face the society with pride!" 'But what can they possibly do against Mr. Brooks and Hyacinth? They can't just tell the director about them. Not without evidence. And even if they had waited, that bad egg Hyacinth will still find a way to make problems for them. It's simply atrocious!' She gave the director a discreet signal. 'You must see that these kids were just left with no choice. You don't have to punish them as well! The

Jana's amusement didn't last for a week. Lawrence thought his incessant calls made Myriad feel loved but in all honesty, the whole thing only reminded Jana of her imminent death once she couldn't find an escape plan. She's a high school student, so her moves are restricted by her age. For one, she couldn't take Austin. Austin is a great guy— but in the end, he's just a part of the game. She can't hung herself on him when she knows he might not even be real in person. But it's hard trying to 'not' love the male lead. "You're spacing out." Spencer poked Jana's cheeks with his pen. "Is it because of your brother's call?" "Hmn." She won't dwell into why he knew about her dilemma. Austin taking a suspicious glance at them back and forth is the sole culprit. "He wants me to visit home. But I don't think I can safely go with the assurance of getting back whole and breathing. You know, there's a chance I'll die on the way.' The arranged plane crash appeared sooner than she had imag
THE BENEFACTOR (English) Task World 3: Targeting The Charming George Salinzer
THIRD INSTANCE: TARGETING THE CHARMING GEORGE SALINZER JANA lowered the cap on her head and tried her best to mix among the crowd. The small camera inside her makeshift lighter shines because of the streetlights. Not too far from her spot was a billboard of a perfume ad containing a man in his prime. He sat on a red loveseat with his tie askew and a bored expression in his face. Jana can see the arrogance and the indifference but she couldn't deny that he's extremely attractive. 'George Salinzer.' He's an anti-social man who managed to overthrow the entertainment industry because of his skills in acting, dancing and even singing. He was hailed the number one hottest guy in town and he's been resting in that spot for the last five years. He managed to be consistent for five unbelievable years! It is normal to have reporters following his tails. Just a week ago, he was almost attacked by a stalker. The woman claimed to be a reporter— fine, paparazzis had no clean representation i

"JANA, I need some juicy details, okay?" The editor in chief grumbled on the phone while chewing his dinner. Jana endured the unappealing noises. 'This is your boss, so hold your horses.' "You suggested this in the first place. Does this mean you can't really do it?" "You're wrong to think that on my part. I have to inform you that I'm doing my best but the guy was just so slick—I can't get him on the act!" It was like George Salinzer was very careful with his move. Like all this time he knows that Bernice of The East is following him. "Fine. But please be reminded that I'm not patient. I won't forget the good things you've brought to me before. I wish for those blessings to come again, okay?" Jana needs to bring back the glory of her muckraking ways. She hope James can help her in this. 'Yeah, fat chance. He's tight on a budget too.' "I will tail him for a few more days. If nothing comes up, I will try and find another subject before pursuing George. He's been unusually carefu

JANA WAS glad that the restaurant was not that far from her apartment. She managed to get inside right on time. James left already after giving her a brief 'good luck'. It looks like he's not interested with McKinley after all. Jana totally understand him. He probably hadn't taken his dinner yet. For James, nothing is more important than food. Wearing her black blazer and a large cap, she eyed every table until she found George's. Jana didn't have to look for long. There were a lot of people staring at his direction. It was just a matter of seconds to find the source of attention. It was a pity that Denise cheat can only accommodate her for one time. She wanted something like that for her too but until now, Jana doesn't know Vivien's special function. Except maybe in being her emotional companion, there's nothing unique about Vivien. For an Ai, she's quiet and never speaks about anything besides issuing plot information. She couldn't even get double points so Denise' suggestion

George's condo unit looks warm, and incredibly dusty. Jana sat unmoving in the couch. How can a handsome man like him have a dirty house? Though Jana should really change her perception about him. There's nothing normal about how he's acting right now. Vivien's information were twisted! Or that George is a player inside the game as well. She can't ask him that directly. "Do you know Director Sanders?" George lit a cigarette as he sat opposite Jana. "I'm sorry about the dust. It's been years since I last remember this place." "Yeah, I can figure that myself." Jana's nerves were frayed and fragile at the moment— she want nothing else but to flee from George. "And yes, I do know him. What about Mr. Sanders?" "He's my uncle." He stopped and failed not to show his grimace. "He's my uncle in paper. She's my mother's adopted brother, and I don't like him." In attempt to delay George, she asked, "Why?" She doesn't expect George to answer. Things like family problems should not be d
