After eating and buying some school stuff for Ligaya, V and her finally decided to go home. While driving, a sudden thought came into V's mind.

"Oh shit," V cursed under his breath. There was slight hint of annoyance in his face.

"What's wrong?" She asked. Although, unlike her question, it seemed like she did not care at all as to what was wrong.

"We forgot to buy something."

"No, we didn't." 

"We did. We didn't buy your....you know." 

"You mean those small pieces of cloth that are used to support the bosom and the gentalia?" 

"Well, yeah. And I shouldn't be discussing this thing with you, for Pete's sake, you idiot!" 

"Don't worry, I asked the lady earlier if they have some of those while you were away and they gave me some of it. I didn't know it comes with different designs. And they really look thin and uncomfortable to use." 

"What do you mean? Oh, just forget about it. Don't answer my question."&nbs

We'll assure you that it won't happen again and that the two of us, Coach Marlon and I, are going to talk to these boys regarding this matter," explained Coach Jared as he gave his signature death glare to his team."Well, of course, I am expecting the both of you to do so."~~~~~~~~~A lot of sermons came out of Mrs. Ariola's mouth, but nobody even bothered to explain himself.

However, he was met by the sudden realization about how on the face of the fucking earth did he get on his bed when all he remembered was he was somewhere near La Primera the nightbefore and was attacked by his enemies and caused him to bleed so much? He immediately opened his eyes to reassure himself that he was really in his room and as he did so, his eyes were met by the presence of his friend Marco who was examining him. He immediately got into his senses for he was shocked to see his friend's face so close to his, and hurried to get off his bed, away from Marco."What the hell was tha-..ugghhhh!"

    Surpried was merely just an understatement. Those three words were, in no doubt, astoundingly shocking. But just when V thought that that was it, Ligaya continued to speak the more shocking part of her statement."My guardian asked for you. . .to be bound to me when the day comes that no one in our bloodline will bealive anymore except me." She uttered those words with utmost sincerity and the two boys in front of her; Marco, who was facing her and V, who was facing his back on her, were both taken aback.

    Few minutes passed by after V left the mall's men's section, he now had reached the place where he's heading to, the basement. There were 2 people waiting for him there, but they seemed to know each other as they nodded to one another's direction. One of them handed V a pistol, but V just refused to have it."Who the fuck are you kidding? We don't need guns for amateurs," he sounded authoritatively, thus making the two placed their guns at there side as they went to where the crime scene was taking place. As they approached, three men were seen setting a time bomb at one of the cars in the basement, and they seemed to pick the particular car intentionally."Doing some nasty things, huh, little ones?" V asked the three men seriously."What are you..who are you?!" The man at the back spoke angrily. They were now pointing their guns at V and his companions. But instead of freaking out, V and his men just stood there coolly an

  • Vermilion   Chapter Fifteen:

    Inside Sinatra University were numerous buildings of assorted shapes and sizes. Few of them were the university's very own dormitories. There were four dormitories all in all. Two Kinetic (big) dorms, one for boys and one for girls; then two Potential (small) dorms, one for boys and one for girls as well.Kinetic Dormitories were designed for everyone from all walks of life who wanted to experience the Sinatra life more than ever, or those who were not originally from that city, while the Potential Dormitories were designed for scholarship recipients and such. Mia was one of them. The dorm she's living in was called the Tuberose Potential Dormitory. It was situated near the university's scholarship building and across the Nursing Department, thus making it a perfect place for her. Aside from its ideal distance to her department, it was also an ideal place for every student to even develop camaraderie since it's smaller than the usual dormitory size, as well as more homey

    Ligaya looked at the boys blankly. This expression of hers did not surprise them anymore, although, they admitted that it did make them feel anxious most of the time."I don't need your money." she finally answered. All of them were disappointed, but Ligaya continued. "But I will help you.""Really?!" They asked in unison"In one condition.""What condition? Just so you know, we're rich. We could actually offer you everything you desire except, of course, our hot bodies," Marco said, feeling pleased with himself as he said the words "hot bodies," which, of course, made everyone except Ligaya grimace. Instead, she just lowered her emotionless eyes on his belly, butnot to size him up but rather to insult him, which pissed him off."I'll teach you, even carry you to pass all of your subjects if you apologize to Mia for all the rude things that you did to her and mean it. Never harass her again

    Mia was surprised when Ligaya showed up at their classroom's doorway after her class. She was used to have some visitors before, like Benjie and the squad, but they're annoying. Ligaya was a different case. She liked her honesty and peculiarity, and she actually thanked Nichole for being the catalyst of their friendship."Wow, I did not recognize you at once, you've changed your clothes, huh?" she smiled as they greeted each other."Yeah, they said I have to fit in," she responded nonchalantly."You look. . .better. I didn't know you like men's wear. And. . .you're still wearing your head scarf. Woah.""Just don't mind the scarf. It will be seen with me for the rest of my life. And these clothes are not mine. It's V's," she said without even a trace of hesitation or guilt. She seemed oblivious of Mia's little jealousy."Why did he let yo--""Don't misinterpret it. Don't accuse me, either.

    Three large stones were thrown through the house's glass windows. Both of them looked shocked, even though fear was hard to be found on Ligaya's face. V furrowed his eyebrows and hurried outside to check on the culprit, Ligaya followed at once. But they were too late. The ones who did it had already run away with their car."What was that for?" Ligaya asked as soon as she got outside to follow V. V looked a bit agitated, although his whole aura seemed relax."A messege." He responded at once while looking at something on the ground. Ligaya followed his gaze and there on the ground, she saw a couple of dead scorpions which seemed to be placed there intentionally. Both were silent but none looked threatened, until V's phone rang."They just stopped by...I know...just a message. They want another meeting...I'll take care of it." He hanged up and looked at Ligaya's direction."Get inside," he said."What about you?""I ca
