CHAPTER 3: Dark Alley

VALÉ (POV)

Damn... Where am I going again? I just came back here. I'm not familiar with the place anymore. Maybe I should've asked her to come with me then. That useless brat.

"Stooooop!"

"Please spare us!"

"We will not do this again. Please spare our lives!"

What's that? Voices sounded like it came from a dark alley. I'm gonna observe the situation first.

"You useless braggarts! Do you think you're cool? huh? Pulling girls in dark alleys? You think you're some cool delinquents now huh? I'm gonna teach you a lesson today!"

Wait... Is that? Hinari? What is she doing here? Looks like she doesn't even need my help huh.

Poor guys, beaten up to a pulp.

"Please spare us maam!"

"How many victims already?"

"You're the fi-first—"

"I hate liars. It makes me want to shatter their bones to broken pieces."

"You're our third today ma-m-maam"

"Whaaaaat? Thiird"

What's wrong with her. I can feel her aura here. Maybe this time I should side with those guys Hahaha. How clever.

"Who's Hiding there? Come out!"

Crap. Did they know about me? What sh-should I do? Go out? Talk? Wait what should I say? He-hello? h-hi? wtf is wrong with me.

"You in the trashcan!"

Trashcan?

"Co-coming out ma-mam-maam!"

"Whew. That was close." I thought she was referring to me How idiotic would that be if it was me lol. Maybe I should go back now.

"Why go back old man? You scared? You one of these rats?"

I thought it was the end but I guess I should not think about it right now because it's really the end. I should change my voice hehe...

"You're a girl. Why act like an old woman?"

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY???? O-O-OLD WOMAN?!?!?!"

"Ah-ah I mean old women teach young'uns their lesson right? You-you're doin that right now, r-right?" I answered with a trembling tone.

What a scary brat. By the way I should escape now. But, she'd be a great tour guide here. I should be in good terms with that shallow beast hehe...

"Why do I feel like something bad is gonna happen?"

"Ma-am please spare us!"

"Okay, for now. Next time I see you again here, I have no money for your hospital fees, got that sc*mbags?"

"Y-yes ma-maa-maam!"

HINARI (POV)

Finally, those perverts think they can outwit me huh.

"What are you doing here?"

"You're the transferee right? What is it again...uhm... Vale?"

"Hey! You're a transferee too!"

"Yeah but I have lived in this area for almost all my life, you dare talk hng?! Wanna fight hng?!"

"Btway, do you know any Internet Cafe here?"

"Yuck you play games?"

"What's with the 'yuck' part? Should I also say 'Yuck you fight delinquents?' "

"You sure have a sharp tongue for a jerk"

"Jerks normally have sharp tongues though. I-i mean whoOo are you calling a jerk??"

"Hahahaha you look funny"

"Hey, your uniform is ripped up. Here take my jacket."

"Ow thanks. By the way, I only make friends with smart people. If you're dumb please stay away from me."

"Should I slap ya guys my report card?"

"H-how? you just slept all day like an old man!"

"At least I don't go around looking for fights. seriously you're parents must've had a hard time with you lol."

"Maybe they did."

"Hey, that was a joke. You know?"

"Ofcourse you sh*thead! Haha walk me home I'll treat you tomorrow!"

"Sure, what about lunch?

"Hey old man, lunch is different. I should eat with someone in that time."

"Really? That guy who always follows you around?"

"Yeah. Crap, I forgot. He said he will walk me home today "

" Looks like, I was the on who walked you home today. So would you please agree with the lunch?"

"What's with the please? You act like a dog now after an old man?"

"Hey that hurts"

"Lol sorry"

It's hard to identify what's in this man's mind. But I sure feel pity on him. He looks all glum. Maybe because of his pale skin or his aura or just because he's really having a hard time in life.

"Thanks for today"

"Thank you too! "

"This is our house. Thank you again and okay lunch tomorrow huh!"

"Sure. I'll get going then."

"uhm.. thankiee"

What might've happened to Val? He didn't show up at the gate this afternoon. Where did he go? How dare he make Me and Shisha wait at the gate. He should give me an apology meal huh! huh!

VAL (POV)

"Sure. I'll get going then."

"uhm.. thankiee"

What's going on? Why is she with that wench? Damn, I forgot about her and the walk today. What should I do? How should I apologize? Wait—why is she with that man first? So you're making you're move now huh, Harrison...

HINARI (POV)

"Mom! Father! I'm home."

"Welcome back lame beast."

"Mom, please help me shut the old man's crap"

"Rin, your mouth sounds sharper today? So that's what you learned at first day of school huh?"

"Really?"

"Just let it pass Brianna, she's old enough to know that."

"Yes dad! That's right!"

"What's for dinner mom? Need my help?"

"No need, Rin. Please go to your room, wash up and change clothes then I'll call you when it's cooked, okay?"

"Okay mom. I'm going up, father."

"By the way, how's your first day of school?"
