1 How about to give you a hand?

*Sigh* I had a long life. I lived a comfortable life, the ending it was not so great but I don't complain, everything was my fault. I'm the only responsable and fortunately the only victim.

*Singing* "Come along with me.... "

I look at the screen with listening to the soft voice singing.

I think a lot of people think I'm the most pathetic human in the world. I'm in my 20s and I'm watching old cartoons in a dark room surrounded by empty ramen cups.

Before to even fell a bit sad for me, let me tell you I'm kinda a gigolo, no I'M a gigolo.

If you think that I had a bad childhood that force me to become like this think twice.

I had a normal childhood with caring parents and normal friends, well not really.

I had normal parents not rich not poor. However my father was a old friend with the director of a very famous school. This gave me an opportunity to have a chance to receive a bursary for this incredible school.

I was surrounded by rich kids. The school was incredible! I didn't need books because the school gave every student personalized tables where they can read digital what they need and do their homework.

Everything was electronic and the food from the canteen was actually not bad.

The first year of the rich high school was full with attempts to make friends ending bad. Nobody wanted to be seen with the poor guy.

Fortunately I make at least some friends, Johan a boy from america with a bursary like me and Kimiko a girl with rich parents like the others but her looks were not so good so everybody avoided her.

The 3 of us were the Loser Trio, the ugly AKA Kimiko, the Nerd AKA Johan and the mute AKA me.

I never was a person to speak a lot. I was always scared to say something wrong and I simply preferred to shout my mouth.

However they could only laugh at us from distance they never dare to bully us mostly because of me.

I remembered when they "accidentally" spilled a milkshake on Kimiko new t-shirt. Johan couldn't do absolutely anything because he was just a frail boy and even if it was just a couple of girls their boyfriends were twice our heigh.

I didn't like to speak but that didn't meant than I didn't have guts.

I took the cup off the ground, fortunately it was not empty...

Now you think that I spilled the rest of the milkshake on the who did that to my friend.

I couldn't do it. They were piece of **** but they have money and power so I couldn't afford to do something like that, literally, their clothes cost hundred of bucks.

I just spilled the milkshake on my shirt. I took a water bottle and give it to the girl who spilled the milkshake.

"I'm so happy that you decide to give it us your milkshake if you drank it all you'll be fatter than you're now, cheers!"

I grab Kimiko hand I ran out off class the only thing I hear when I was running on the hall was a girl scream and some laughters.

I helped Kimiko to clean her shirt, unfortunately I didn't had time to clean mine fortunately I had a pen, I just made cerc aroud the spot and a arrow above arrow it was written.

*A tsudere spill this on me when she confessed to me."

Kimiko was the first one to see my master piece when I got out of the male bathroom.

Everytime when somebody even tried to mess with us we helped each other and gave our revenge in our style.

Not physically, mentally or any other word ending with "lly" just old funny come backs and funny jokes that everybody laugh.

The last year came fast unfortunately this time I was alone. Last year Johan got a chance to study at a even more prestigious school for young geniuses in robotic and Kimiko's parents send her at a school in America for young talents in arts.

Even if I was smart enough to get a bursary in one of the most famous schools, I was not a genius like Johan with his robots and I didn't had incredible talens in arts like Kimiko.

I was alone.

The bullies tried to mess with me but they regret immediately I was the one who face them first and the one who teach Johan and Kimiko how to face them.

Those poor and unfortunately fools didn't resist a day.

Unfortunately for me they gave their revenge. It was the last year and I had to get a job.

Regrettably I found nothing. Even if I had the best preferences. It seems some of the rich brats that I upsed in the past. Make it sure to never have a future. They use their parents reputation to convince people to not hire me.

You know at TV when the boss yells to the employee "You would never work in this town! I will make sure of it!" Yeah, I was also thinking it was a joke.

I searched for a job like a madman, I couldn't even became a waiter.

I have to admit, they are good. They were thinking I was going to crawl at their feet and ask for help.

Unfortunately for them I took my stubbornness for my mother and I never gave up. I even tried to another town but it was in vain.

I had to take a job! My parents didn't have a problem to pay for my college, they gather money for this from when I was 14 so I didn't had a problem but I wanted to get a job to help them. They were the best parents who did their best for me and my little sister Aoi.

I wanted to give something back. Unfortunately I didn't have money that why I wanted a job.

I just wanted to buy a gift for my parents that help me so much. However, those assholes didn't let me and I could use the money my parents gave to me to buy them a present.

It was a hot day the classes finished long ago but I was still in desk looking at a very, very, very long list with jobs that I tried to take.

That day was when my "savior" appear in front of me.

It was the girl who spilled the milkshake on Kimiko long time ago. She didn't tried to win me over or even smile at me she just said it directly.

"I need you to be my boyfriend.

... I also give it to her directly.

"I rather shove a truck in my ass"

After she heard my response with a wide scary smile... Well, she...

*Punch*

Yeah, she punched me so hard that I pass out on my desk.

I woke up after some hours she was in front of me sitting on a chair.

After I completely woke up she explain to me what are her reasons.

She needed a FAKE boyfriend to help her convince her parents to not arrange a marriage with a stranger.

I just repeat the words before she hit me.

"I rather shove a truck on my ass"

She just sigh and throw a very thick envelope on my desk. When I open it my heart stopped beating for a second.

The envelope was full of money.

If I had these money I could buy a car for my parents. That how much money it was there.

She didn't said anything she just stare at me.

"Why me?"

"The others in the school are rich brats. I can't use money to make them help me and with the "boyfriend" tittle they would definitely want something I don't want to give to them. Also if my parents see me with a son of a rich family they would without a doubt arrange a marriage and the fake boyfriend will became real boyfriend."

"Your perfect your parents are not rich, powerful or whatever, so if you will be my boyfriend they will forget about arranged marriage and they will concentrate on their daughter and how she would do something so stupid. I'm pretty sure my parents will do everything to convince me if I accept to "break" with you even annul any arranged marriage."

When she finished I just blink a couple of times and throw the envelope back to her.

"I rather shove a truck on your ass."

I wanted to sit up and just get out.

"I this is only the 10% of the money I will gave to you if you help me."

This stopped me. Sometimes I regretted that I didn't just get out of the class but now that I look back I glad I didn't.

We became a "couple" I admit she was a beauty but her personality make me puke. I was the type of man that favor personality over looks. She gave me the half of the money in the first day.

With them I payed my college and I had enough for a big present for my parents and my little sister. They were so happy and when they asked me where I had the money I just said that I helped my classmates with their studies.

My classmates were rich brats so they didn't ask more. I was happy.

Unfortunately some girls heard about my real "relationship" with the girl and many girls came at me.

Some of them were like the Milkshake Girl afraid of a arranged marriage with a stranger so they bring me over to escape this fate. Some wanted just a boyfriend so they can make their family shut up or make their ex-boyfriend jealous.

I didn't find a job but I had no problem with money my college time was filled with fake relationships and fake fellings, I didn't want to have real fellings for some of them but it happened, don't worry I never let anybody to know about my real fellings. Not when I saw kissing them with the boy they love, not when they said we will "break" out and mock me in front of their parents to look real. I just accepted my money and get out.

I always love anime and cartoons, Kimiko and Johan knew about my love for anime but not for cartoons especially the old ones.

Relationships one after another without love and sometimes ended with me being beat up by their family or ex-boyfriends. Again and again the same scenario. After the graduation I enter in a depression because of my tittle I never had a real girlfriend and everybody avoid me afraid that I will steal their girlfriends.

I never had a friend except for Johan or Kimiko, I never had a real girlfriend that I can love more for a couple of weeks.

After the graduation I just closed myself in my room and watch all the cartoons I like I rare watch anime I just liked cartoons it remembered me of the times were everything was better.

Now I'm here covered in my blanket looking at the old cartoon "Adventure Time"

After hours of watching my eyes hurt like crazy. I was ready to sleep so I closed the TV letting the darkness to take over the room. I reached for my phone to see what hour is it and...

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"

*CRASH*

Black... The only thing I saw was only a black car crashing my wall.

*buzz* "Good morning Tokio we came with horrible news. Last night a drunken driver crash in a wall of a house, the driver have only some minors wounds but the person who was simply stayed in the front of their TV died. The man was only 25 old we will come with more details after this commercials."

*buzz*

"Your life didn't have ones of the best ending. How about to give you a hand?"
