FALL IN YOU

CHAPTER 2

They let go of my arms when we got in the backyard of the old gymnasium. There are no people are here except us. Oh my god. Why did they bring me here? What are they planning to do with me? I'm nervous. But I managed to act like I am not. I should not act weak in front of these weird guys so they won't able to take advantage of me.

"Hey, you two. Why did you bring me here? What are you two planning to do with me, huh?" I ask them in a loud sound of my voice just to act brave even though, my voice and knees are shaking in nervousness. They might r**e me. Oh my god! No!

"Hey! Are you deaf? I'm asking you why did you bring me here? Don't you know how to react? I've been talking..." I couldn't continue what I was about to say because a group of men suddenly came out from over the wall of the old gym. And the last one to come out was the guy I bumped into earlier.

I swallowed hard as our eyes met.

They were only four earlier but now they are six. They are looking at me intensely.

I could feel a large sweat falling from my head.

Wait, why I am nervous? I shouldn't be nervous. They are just only humans.

"It's nice to see you again." The guy whom I bumped into earlier said, wearing his evil smile.

He walks towards me while his hands are in his pants pocket.

When he is finally standing in front of me, he gives me a devil smile. Yes, a devil smile. He looks like a devil, but handsome.

What?

What did I just say?

Never mind.

It was a joke. I'm just joking.

He is handsome.

But anyway, what does he want from me?

"Clueless? " He asks, raising his eyebrows.

Clearing my throat, "What do you want?" I asked him while crossing my arms.

His companions laugh silently. Gosh, they are crazy. What's so damn funny?

But this guy who is standing in front of me looks irritated.

"Hey, girl! Don't you really know me and you are talking to me like that, huh!?" He asked me in a loud tone of his voice causing his veins to mark in his neck, anger is visible on his face.

I raised my eyebrows at him.

Who is he? Why does he keeps on asking me if I know him? Is he a kind of important person here?

"I don't know you. Care to tell me your name?" I asked.

His brows snapped together at what I said. His companions laughed again. This time it's not silently. He narrowed his eyes at them causing them to stop laughing then he looks at me again.

Okay. It's kinda weird. Who is he?

"Seriously, Drix. She doesn't know us especially you. So, what are we gonna do?" The guy that has an earring in his lower lip asked him in a whisper but I could hear it.

So, his name is Drix?

"Should we kill her?" The guy wearing in black coat asked him. The one that drags me here.

Finally, he spoke.

But wait!

What did he just say?

Kill her?? KILLL?? ME??

I gulped hard. Who really are they? Why are they going to kill me?

The guy whom I bumped into earlier takes a step towards me.

"Since you didn't know me. Then, I will introduce myself to you. I am Prince Cindrix Ford. I'm a gangster."

I was not wrong.

They are gangsters. It is obvious from their looks and their outfits.

He again takes a step to go closer to me. As much as I wanted to take a step backward, I can't. I can not move my body.

When he is one foot away from me, he moves his face closer to mine. I can feel now his breathe.

Oh my goodness! What is he trying to do?

I gulped hard.

He places his mouth in front of my left ear.

"Now that you know who I am and what I am. I bet you are aware that gangsters can kill people? So, darling." He touches my left cheek. "If you love your life, be careful. Because I kill people."

After he said that, he left my ear and look at me again. An evil smile slipped on his lips. He then turns his back at me and walks away. His companions followed him.

I am watching their back while they are walking away from me. I tried to move my body but I could not. I was nailed to where I am standing, and the starves I felt were gone because of what he told me.

They can kill people? Does that mean... They had already killed many people?

Oh goodness!

Again, I swallowed hard.

I sat down on the grass because my knees are shaking.

CINDRIX

"Damn, Drix! Did you see her reactions? For sure she is shaking in fear." Paul said while laughing.

"Right. She did not even speak when she knows what kind of person are we. But she was brave before, huh. Strong girl." Brian added.

"TSS. She was brave because

"TSS. She was only just brave because she did not know our identity." Kyle commented.

I just laughed at what they said. I even laughed at that girl's reaction. Damn, I thought I would be able to find my match, but she got scared of me. Tss.

We are now on our way to... Uh, where are we going? Maybe just somewhere. Tch. I am lazy to attend my classes. So boring! The professors don't count either. Why hasn't Dad fired them from their jobs yet?

Tch!

Yeah! You are hearing right. I am the son of the owner of this university. The Southville University. But not everyone in here knows about that. Just only a few who know about that. Those few people who know about my background are the professors, guards, staff in the cafeteria, and janitors. The rest did not know. Also, Dad doesn't want others to know for the reason that he did not want anyone to know that his son is a gangster. Of course, because it can ruin his name. So even his business friends did not know me.

Tss! That old man. He is also a gangster before. Tch!

"Cindrix!" A yell out from the s**t.

Damn.

What does she want!?

"What!?" I irritably turn my back at someone who called me. I was not wrong. It was her. It was Sophia.

She runs towards me and she kisses me on my left cheek.

Fuck!

Is she f*****g crazy?

"Hey! What was that for!?" I asked her in annoyance.

"Hey, why are you angry? Can I not kissed you anymore?" She giggled.

"What? You are crazy! Will you please leave me alone?" She is so damn annoying!

Turning my back, I walk away from her.

"Cindrix! I love you!" She shouted.

What the hell!?

Tch! She is f*****g annoying!

---

Here we are right now in our Secret Hangout. Here, we often hang out during class hours. Also here, we drink beers, smoke, sleep, and make our plans against YGang. No one else knows this place but only the six of us. It is located at the back of the field, underground.

Anyway, who is YGang? They are also a group of gangsters, our main rival. You will know about them soon.

I put the bottle of beer on the table after I emptied it.

"Do you want more?" Brian asked me.

"Don't ask, just give me," I said.

"You look so tense, huh." He said as he handed me another bottle of beer.

"Is it because of that girl or your ex, Sophia?"

Yes, Sophia is my ex-girlfriend.

She was my first girlfriend. We had a relationship for almost six years but she cheated on me. She betrayed me. For what reason? Well, it is a long story. I don't want to narrate it. I have moved on already. But still, there is a part that I am still hurt. Tch. f**k that love!

"Looks like Sophia still really loves you Drix, huh," Patrick said while lighting a cigarette.

"Yeah, right. It's f*****g obvious. Why don't you just get back to her? She's been chasing you for a long time." Andrew added.

It was as if my ears were clenched at what he said.

"Are you stupid!? Why should I go back to that cheater b***h!?" I annoyingly asked and take a drink of beer again.

Tch. Get back to her!? My ass!

"Okay. Relax! I'm just kidding! You don't have to be high blood. By the way, what are your plans with the girl who bumped into you earlier?"

"Tch. So far, I don't know yet. I will think first about what kind of punishment I will give her." I said in a serious tone.

"That's right! Right now, let us just drink! Cheers!" Said Kyle, at the same time he raised the bottle of beer he was holding.

And we all raised the bottle of beer we are holding and yell the word, "Cheers!"

Then, we take a drink together.

This is our life. We chill before we kill.

CHELSIE

/I kill people/

/I kill people/

/I kill people/

/I kill people/

Ugh!

I can't stop thinking about what that guy said to me earlier. As much as I want to forget about it, I can't. It keeps on lingering on my mind.

What's his name again?

Prince?? Cendix? Cedric?? Cendrix?

Never mind. Whatever his name is. Ugh! Why is my day ended so lucky?

First, mum and dad head fought. Second, I met a group of gangsters people. Third, I was not able to finish the food I bought in the school cafeteria. Gosh, I wasted ten dollars today.

"Ms. Hudgens!"

My spirit almost separated from my body when Teacher Carlo, I mean Teacher Carla shouted my name in front of me.

I sit properly. "Yes... Ma'am? I mean Sir." I stuttered.

It's confusing what exactly I would call this gay.

"What is ---- "

"My name Sir??" I stood up. "I'm Chelsie Hudgens. I'm ---- "

"That is not my question! And can you please stop calling me Sir!? You know I'm gay— I mean I'm girl, right!?" She yelled at me.

All of my classmates laugh at me.

Ugh! This gay...

And why are these people shouting at me today?

"So, what exactly is your question, Ma'am?"

Her face lit up when I call her ma'am. Ugh!

But suddenly, she looked serious again.

"You know what Ms. Hudgens, you're getting into my nerves! You are stressing me out! You better go out, now!" She shouted at me again while flipping her hair.

Seriously? What did I do? I did call her ma'am and she is still angry?

The hell! Okay, fine. That is what she wants. I will leave her class. Ugh! As if she is good at discussing her lessons. Didn't she knows she is a bad teacher! All she did was flirt with my boy's classmates.

Ugh!

Grabbing my bag, I walk out of the classroom.

I will just go to the cafeteria and eat. Since I did not finish eating my breakfast earlier.

I hope no one will disturb me this time. Please.

@CAFETERIA

Mmmmm!! Finally, I can eat my favorite carbonara. I was craving for this. I took a fork and I start to eat.

Oh my gosh! It is really delicious! I will not get tired of eating this every day.

"You are really delicious!" I say between eating.

"Don't talk when your mouth is full."

Huh? Who was that?

Lifting my head, I look at someone who just spoke in front of me. It's a guy. Not a gangster. But uh... A nerd. He is wearing big eyeglasses and his hair is a nerd cut.

"Is this seat is taken?" He asks me. His voice is stuttering.

"Uh... Nope."

"So, can I sit here?"

"Yes. Sure." I say, shrugging my shoulders then I go back to eat.

"Thanks," he replies then he places his tray on the table and sat down on the chair.

Okay. Who is this? Never mind.

"May I know your name?" Out of nowhere, he asked.

I looked at him.

"Uh... Chelsie. My name is Chelsie." I answer.

"Ah, pretty name. By the way, I'm Luis. Luis Lopez." He introduces himself.

I just nodded my head. Well, I am not interested.

I continue eating my food.

"Uhm... Can I be your friend?" He asked.

This time I raised my eyebrows at him. Seriously? Me?

He will befriend me?

Wow! That is new. I mean, in all my life here in SIS, he was the first who asked me that.

"Why? Don't you have friends?" I asked him.

He firmly shakes his head.

"Really? Why?" It is because he is a nerd?

"No one wants to be friends with me because I am a nerd and ugly." He says with a long face. "If you don't want to be friends with me either. It's okay." He smiles weakly.

"Huh? I did not say that."

His face lit up. "So you mean...?"

"Yeah. Let us be friends."

"Really?"

"Yup!" I nodded my head. "And what are you saying you're ugly? You're not."

"You mean... I look good too?" He asked, shyly.

"Of course! You are looking handsome."

"Thank you. You are the first person who told me that."

I just smile at him. He is nice. I'm happy, I got a friend today.
