Chapter 1

(Late in the evening)

Misha walked fast in the dark alley. Every step felt unsure. Someone was following him. He was almost out of the alley, close to the main road where cars could be seen far away. Then, a hand tightly covered his mouth. He couldn't shout. Another hand pulled his hair hard, making him whimper in pain.

Unknown: (whispers in his ears) I told you I hate it when I want something but can't get it easily. Now that I have you, you have to hurt a little. Don't you think that's fair?

Misha: Please don't do this. I beg you. (Mouth covered)

Unknown: You should have begged earlier. (Covered his nose with a cloth sprayed with a chemical)

Misha: (Tried to fight back, but as the chemical slowly worked, he slowly lost his senses.)

2 months earlier

Far from the busy city center, the road was not paved. There were many coconut trees and other big trees that blocked the sun, making the air warm and cool. It was a typical country road in the Philippines. But it wasn't too poor because there were some solar streetlights on the side of the road. They weren't very helpful, though, because they were far apart.

Early in the morning, Misha woke up early. Not because he needed to cook, but because his mother was telling him to get up. He took a bath and ate the food his parents made. He grew up in a poor family but was treated like a princess. He was the youngest of his two brothers.

Today was his college enrollment. He was going to a private school near the main road. It wasn't very famous, but it was known as one of the best schools in the area. Many rich students went there. Misha, with his mother, went to the school. As they reached the small gate, which made the school feel exclusive, Misha decided he needed to be more confident.

Misha: Ma, I think I can handle myself. I'm a college student now. (He was nervous but tried to stay calm.)

Misha's mother: Are you sure about this? (She wasn't sure because she thought Misha was too delicate to handle things alone.)

Misha: Yes, Ma. I can do it. From today, I'll practice doing things by myself.

Misha's mother: But if you need my help, just call me, okay?

Misha: Of course, Ma. But really, I can do this.

Misha went to enroll. He signed up for the education program. As he finished his papers, the students were noisy, especially the older ones (2nd year to 4th year). One group of students was louder than the others. They stood out because they were mostly tall, handsome, and rich. They were in line just like Misha, and he was sitting near them because the chairs were set up for students. Misha could hear them talking easily.

Erik: We're already in our second year, but most students here are boring.

Kevin: Yeah, even girls are sluts.

Axel-ML: Who knows what this year might bring? (He smirked.)

Misha just ignored Axel's group talking about their sex life. As they were about to reach the last seat, meaning it would soon be time to go inside the office for enrollment papers, Kevin said something that caught Misha's attention.

Kevin: Axel, you know that first-year students this school year are taking the new classes. They have night classes too, just like us criminology students.

Axel-ML: Haha, I've heard about it. Students who try to avoid us will be on campus at night. Looks like something fun this semester.

Erik: Yeah, because you like to hunt those students who don't like you. Haha, mostly from other departments, though, making it hard for us to play with them because our schedules don't match.

Axel-ML: They said Education students are good at taking care of children, so maybe they can take care of my offspring, hahahaha.

When Misha heard this, he realized that the education department was a target for students who wanted one-night stands. Most education students were girls, and if there were a few boys, they were feminine, just like Misha. He had a soft, feminine voice, a thin body, wasn't tall, had white skin, and moved in a feminine way.

After Axel's group finished enrolling, they left the campus. Misha was about to finish his enrollment. He called his mother's phone and asked if she could tell his father to pick him up at the gate. The day was normal. He finished everything and was finally enrolled in the education department. Classes would start a few days later, so Misha had two free days.

As the last day of vacation came, Misha decided to pack his things. He would be staying in an apartment because the school was far from his house. He packed only a few things, just the important ones. Since he had few clothes, he packed all of them.

As he reached his apartment, a familiar voice echoed in the living area for all tenants. He saw Axel's group laughing. He just walked past them, deciding to avoid them, and went straight to his room. Axel and his group chose to stay in the same apartment as Misha because there was no curfew, giving them freedom for their party life. Misha unpacked his clothes and things in his room. He locked his room properly.

Suggestions? How about clarification?
