"Well... I gotta go to the gathering I guess..."

I went out my house to go to the gathering. It was a special day. All of us highschool buddies will gather in a private 5 star restaurant. Surprised? No? Well, one of my buds just became a Billionaire who owns dozens of business. I never thought the most stupidest friend of mine became a Billionaire. Anyway... My name is Ralph Vincent. Im a average guy. Black Hair, black eyes. I live alone in my house. I eat, go to work, go home, then sleep. It was pretty much the same everyday. Until John sent us a message to gather. John is the Billionaire I mentioned. He's a big shot in the industries, he has ben on talk shows and news. A very successful bastard am I right? I'll introduce my friends I'll see in the gathering. First is Maria. The popular blonde cheerleader back in the days. She was born in a rich family. She is athletic too, and smart. Next is Vel Loza, she is of spanish blood but born here in america. She is very shy and doesn't have that much friends. She is short, brown haired, black sparkling eyes and extremely cute. She also tends to be an Airhead which makes her twice cute. Third is Jerome, he was a thug back then. But even if he is, he is a good guy, I've known him since childhood. I wonder if he still keeps his red dyed hair. Fourth is Jason. A very smart and serious guy. A genius I might say, he even helped us cheat a lot in the past! Haha! The fifth is Cyrus. The introvert, a quite guy. He likes to be alone but we always annoy him to go outside to play together. Lastly was John. He was once a stupid guy. Had bad grades in the past. I like him a lot, a very close friend of mine. He is always there when I feel down. And he knows how to cheer me up. I never thought he would become some billionaire guy.

*Ding*

'A message?' I looked at my phone and saw everyone in a picture. All of their smiling faces, they've all change very much. It looks like Cyrus didn't dye his black hair, heh... Even John and Jaron didn't dyed their black hairs even though they said they would. 'Im late'. I pulled a taxi and quickly ran to the restaurant and saw my old friends there. "Ralph! Been a long time!" John shouted. "H-hey there..." Vel said Shyly. "Yo dude!" Jerome Greeted. "Hey Ralph!" Maria said cheerfully. "Good day man" Jason said. "Hello" Cyrus greeted.

"Its been a long time friends... Well what we waiting for? Lets go in already!" I said in a joyful voice. We talked in the restaurant for hours. Talking about our careers and stories of ours. Vel was shy talking, like before. John is still the energetic type. Jerome did change a bit, he was once a thug and know he became a cop himself. Maria became way more cheerful than before. Jaron is still the serious type guy. And cyrus is still the introvert guy. "You have a family now Jason!?" I said in shock, very shock I will say.

"Yes... Wait you didnt know?" He asked in confusion

"It might be because I was too into work nowadays..." I responded "Anyway... What about you girls?"

"Im doing great if you ask! Ive won 6 gold medals in my athlete career!" Maria said. "I saw you on the news, you just won your sixth right?" Jerome asked

"Yup! I did great there didnt I?!"

"Yeah you did! What about you Vel?" Jerome asked Vel next.

"Oh! Uh! Hm..." She is nervous. But still cute!

"Oh you dont have to say it!" Jerome said trying to reassure Vel.

"Ah! I-Its O-Okay! Umm... I've be-been well.. Im almost finished... With my... Hhhmmm..." She is way more nervous. I can see her face blushing red hot. "What my?" I asked.

"Well... I pursueded my career... In comic drawing... And im... Im wor-working on a ani... Anime... Project..." She says. She seems to stutter often now.

"Wow really?" Cyrus asked shocked. Heh... A typical Weeb like always.

We talked a lot, ate a lot, and drank a lot.

This is a special day. I will remember this. But I felt something was wrong... When I was a child, if I felt that something is wrong... Then something will happen. Maybe its just a coincidence. Nothing bad will happen... For sure...

'.... I should ask them some questions... Just curious' I thought. "Soo... John, how did you built your company so big?" I asked him. Im not much in too politics but my curiosity is telling me ask. The atmosphere changed a bit.

"Its best if you dont know, but I will tell you some of it next time!" He sounded like he doesnt want to tell me. What is he hiding? "I... I see, so... Maria, hows your family going?" As soon as I asked. Silence befell the room. 'What have I done?' My brain said

"You... You didn't know?" Jaron said. "What?" I was confused. Wait...

"Maria's family were... All killed..." Jaron said in a sad tone. "What?! Oh! I!... Im sorry! I didnt mean to ask!" I said, trying to apologize to her. "Its fine! It looks like you really have been busy!" Maria said, her tone didn't sound cheerful as before.

"Heeyyy! Come on! Cheer up Maria! This is supposed to be fun and not all sad and gloomy!" Jerome spoke. He is trying to lighten the mood. Thank God it worked.

"He... He is right... W-we sh-should be having f-fun...." Vel said.

"Haha! Ye right mate!" John spoke in somesort of Pirate accent.

"Well, I've got some anime to watch. It might be best if we all watch it." Cyrus recommended, again... A weeb.

"No one wants to see your cartoons friends" Jaron said, opposing what cyrus said.

"Hey! Dont judge animes that way! They aren't cartoons!!" Cyrus said.

Everything went back to normal. Jerome really knows how to fix these problems. I should stop asking some personal things... My curiosity is just a monster. The gathering started at 10 am which ended on 11 pm. John took his private car. Vel and Maria went on their own paths to walk. Jerome used his motor. While me and Jaron took the same cab since we were heading the same way. "Can I ask something Jaron?" I asked him.

"Is it about Marias family?" He said, he knew what I was going to ask. "Well... Yeah..." I responded

"It happened a month ago..."

"The Family went on a business trip in Europe. Things went well. Until on Oct 14... The police think the crime happened at midnight. For some reason... During the families Dinner. The Food got poisoned by someone. All the family members died, except Maria herself."

"Wait what? If the food was poisoned... Then wont Maria have died too?"

"She was lucky. She was asleep when the dinner started."

"..."

"Well... Ive gotta go. Stop please!"

"Well see you Jaron!"

"I'll see you soon too friend"

We parted our ways of course. I stopped near a grocery to buy food for breakfast tomorrow. As soon as I exited. I saw Vel. 'Vel!? Didn't she go the other way?!?' I quickly hid near a alley. What should I do? Should I follow her? Then again... I might get in trouble... Just like what my dad said... Mind Your Own Business...

I followed Vel without getting notice. She went to a dark alley, then she went several turns... Then finally reaching a Secret PUB club. 'What the hell is she doing?! Does she know its dangerous!?' She went inside the front door and said "I serve the Manager". The door opened which let her in. I have to keep following her, something bad might happen... I went to the front door and knocked. There was a voice on the other side which said "Code?". 'So what Vel said must be the code or else how did she pass inside' I said what Vel spoke and the voice again asked "You work here? I never heard your voice before..." Im not very much good at lying but I'll try my Luck "The manager must have not told you yet" Success! The door opened which revealed a big bulky man. He let me pass through of course. Thank good it worked!

The inside was very big! And it had everything a PUB can have. A counter. Tables. Game area. Disco lights. Pole dance area. And other stuff that I dont want to say. I searched around looking for Vel. "No sign of her..." I kept looking around until a guy came at me "Hello sir, may I ask if your lost or looking for something?" It was a waiter. He looked really handsome. Way handsome than anyone I've met. I knew that if I ask about Vel it will give me trouble. But thanks to my smart head and lying skills I managed to convince him "Oh! Yeah... Im a new worker here! Im pretty lost, do you know where to change?" I asked. "Your new here? Hhmmm... Well... Follow me"

I followed him, and it led me to the changing room. It was small, with only three lockers and a small chair there. "I'll explain you the rules here. As you know. We dont just work here as waiters. We also please our customers." He continued but with a perverted smile on his face "And let me tell you the best part about this job... When a beautiful woman asks you to serve her... Then you know what that means"

"Wait... Have you done it?" I asked curious

"Hehe... I've been working here for 4 years and thanks to my handsomeness I managed to sleep with 27 women total. All of them were hot as hell! But you have to VERY careful!!" He sounded very serious in the end. "Dont do it to Famous people! And you have to know who you were sleeping with! Because if you dont... If that woman is married to a powerful man... Then you will die" He said

"Did it happen to anyone?" At this point im just wasting time.

"Yup! An arrogant idiot who did not listen to my warnings tried to sleep with a woman who was married to a billionaire! He was tortured to death alright! He deserved it! Actually... 3 people have died so far doing the same mistake... So the Manager stopped hiring male waiters, im surprised he hired you!"

"Maybe im just handsome so he picked me"

"Well you so look cute. Anyway! The names Martin! Martin Sven! Nice to meet ya pal!"

"My name is Ralph Vincent, pleasure to be friends" I didnt have the intention to make friends here but I have to maintain at least good impressions around me. I changed my clothes and went out. I still didn't see Vel around. I have to say... Im really good at this. I mean this Waiter job. Until a lone woman suddenly spoke to me. "Hey cutie~! Come here~!" Her voice was really seductive and sweet at the same time. "Hello madam. How can I help you?" I asked politely. "Oh I want help alright... Would you please carry me to room 4~?" She said while being so close to my face! Her breath was mixed with wine and the smell of strawberry. While her red hair smelled like roses. And her perfume was so alluring. "U-umm... Is it alright?" I said nervously, how can I be calm when this beauty is so close! "Oh dont worry, no will mind..." She said, so I carried her and went deeper in to the levels where most of the rooms at. Thanks to Martin telling me everything here. 'Room 4... Room 4... 4... Aha!' I opened the door and I laid the pretty woman down. She fell asleep when I carried her here so I tried to leave until she grabbed my hand tightly. "Dont leave yet~! I still haven't had fun you know~"

"Ah! S-sorry! I-I still have to finish s-some other things!" I tried to let her hand go but the she grabbed me in the waist! Making me go down with her in the soft bed! "Dont worry... The lady waiters will do the job, And that old man... Your boss, wont get mad"

'I cant do this! I dont have much time! I need to find Vel fast!' I played along with her until I had the opportunity to knock her out. Its a good think I know how to knock people out, thank you teacher for teaching me the way! I managed to knock her out by striking the back of her neck. She fell down and her soft squishy body fell on top of me. Once again... Her smell filled my nose... That smell... The smell was so sweet! I wonder what perfume she used. I laid her down again and left the room. As I leave I heard Vel's Voice!! She must be on the next room! But im not an idiot who just barges in like a psychopath. So I placed my ear in the other side to hear what was happening.

"S-s-sir! I-I cant! I c-cant! Im busy! My boss w-will kill me!" She says both frightened and nervous

"Dont worry! I payed thousands of f*cking cash to get you for myself!" The voice sounded like an old middle-aged man.

"N-no! No! Some-someone help!" I hear her crying

"Haha! Scream all you want b*tch! You think someone will come and barge through that door to save you!" I've had enough listening to this Man! As he finished his words I barged in and punched the man straight in the face! I never thought all those years of training would be used to punch a man and save a friend. "R-ralph!?" Vel is shocked why I was here. I grabbed her hand and pulled her out quickly! "F*UCK! SECURE THE ELEVATOR!! F*CKING FIND A MAN WHO IS DRAGGING A SERVANT GIRL!!!" That old Man is calling his bodyguards! We have to leave fast!

We went to the elevator to go back but as soon the elevator opened. We we're greeted by a lot of bodyguards. "Ralph!" "Vel!" The bodyguards separated us. I was lying on the floor. Although I might have skills but I cant just recklessly fight 4 buff bodyguards all at once! The crowd is gathering and watching us too. 'Damn! I cant do anything! What should I do!? It looks like all I can is fight' I landed my fists into one of the guards chest but he didnt even move! His body was like made of metal! He was fast too! His fast powerful kick hit me from the side. "Ah!" My stomach hurts! I can hardly stand! These men are like professional wrestlers!

I woke up. In a same room. I guess I was knocked out. Vel was tied in the corner. "Now your awake!" I turned to my side where I found the old man sitting there. "You f*cking piece of sh*t, I felt that punch... I really did." He said in a pissed off voice. "You thought you can just get away after doing that? Do you even know who I am?"

"Of course I know..." I responded to his question

"Oh, so who am I?" He asked

"Come closer..." I said. And he did "I'll tell you..." *Spit*

"Ah! You f*cking rat!" He punched me in the face real hard. Then he kept punched me in the stomach. Again and Again.

"Thats what you get for spitting on me! You rat think you're all cocky!"

*Bang*

The door suddenly opened. "Sir! Mr. Lumers is here!" The bodyguard sounded terrafied "What!?!" The same goes for the man.

"L... Lumers..." I said in a weak voice. 'Lumers?! Johns last name!? Is he here also?!?'

"Hey there ugly bastard..." This voice was indeed John!!! I looked up and saw his dark expression. This man is done for. "S-sir! My I ask why your here?" The man looked more terrified. It looks like John was really a big shot in the industry. "Get him and lock him up!" John said "Yes sir!" the men behind him punched the old man unconscious. What a really strong punch...

"Yo! Ralph! What in the world are you doing here!?" John asked

"I have the same question for you *cough*" Damn... That man wore a brass knuckle when he punched me.

"Dude... First of all... Rest... I'll get you to a hospital. Once you've healed up. We'll talk."

I knew Vel would be safe now so I took his words and fell asleep... Those punches really hurts. In the next morning... I woke up in the hospital like what John said. And I saw Vel's cute face sleeping soundly in my lap. I didnt wake her up. I wanted to admire her cuteness for eternity. I only brushed her hair a little which made her wake up.

"Hhmmm..." She sound dizzy "Eh? Aahhh! SorryIdidntmeantosleepinyourlapIreally-"

"Hey, hey! Calm down! Its fine..." Her face is still blushing. Very Cute. But that night... What was she doing in there? Should I ask her? Or should I just ignore it? And why the hell was John there too?! Damn... That was A Rough Night.
