2 Chapter 1: The World is starting to turn its back on me.

***Knock**Knock****

Knocking sounds filled my room, as I open my eyes for a new morning.

" Oy!! Homeless Boy, come out of here and let us talk!"

The knocks are followed by the loud voice of the Landowner shouting this early morning. So I stand up, washed my face, and drank a cup of cold water. Then I gone to open the door, just to see the face of my angry landlord.

" Hey boy, since you came out, pay your payment for this month's rent or I'll kick you out. I won't accept anymore reasons since this is my fifth time coming here to collect my money!" , the landowner said.

"But.... but, it is still... a week before due, right?", is what I said as I tremble from fear.

"What do you mean a week? Have you forgotten that you already borrowed 150,000.00 shells and haven't paid the three month worth rent? How dare you say that it is a week before due?! Pay now or you won't know what will happen to you later!" , she fumed.

"Well, I'll expect my money being deposited later or you'll see everything you own here thrown out to garbage!" she continued as she turned her back to walk out.

'I must get ready to school, then go to the stores I part-timed to collect my salary. Maybe that money can help me solve this problem...' I thought as I got inside to dress in uniform and pick my bag. ' I'm gonna be hungry again cause I'm now late, argh!!! ' as I looked up at the clock hanging near the door.

"Sigh, I really don't know what to do ever since my Mamita died", I mutttered as I turn my eyes to the old picture of my mamita.

' Mamita is the person who raised me since I am a baby. She named me L because of the L-shaped scar in my chest. She treated me as her own child even though I am not really hers. We have so many happy memories of each other. Poor her since she died when I am 12 by a shot out of nowhere. For three years now, I'm quite lonely because I got no one to care and love for me, and I faced many life challenges and problems like the event earlier.' These story aside, I rushed out to school as I almost got driven out by my memories of her.

"Ding, dong, ding, ding!!!" The sound of the bell rang to my ears as I stepped in the school premises.

" Arghhh!!! I am late again, I might get to be called to the principal's office today..." I shouted as I gave my best to run inside our room however...

" Mr L, you're quite late today huh, our class is already done, and you are absent in my class. Go to my office later to report to our principal about this!" my professor exclaimed as he gave me cold glare.

Poor me, the thing that I fear of has come. I slide the door, and hurry up to my seat.

" Good morning, Mr L-ate or I may say Mr L-oser! Hahahaha!! Get off to that seat and go to the canteen to buy me snacks," said the bully in our class.

" " " Yeah, we heard that you got a job, so treat us some snacks, " " " said the other groups in our class.

"No... no way!!! I... need the money for my necessities," I blurted out of fear.

" If you don't want to do it, then don't. But don't expect us to go home early because we'll wait for you at the gate of the school," the leader of the gang said as he threatened me with the blade in his hands.
