Chapter 1

Daniel's P.O.V

"Did you see her face? Like seriously, as if centipedes were crawling inside her face!" Alex, my best friend, said between his laugh, making me sniggered from his description of Sasha's angry face. His natural brown hair matching his eyes was in its usual messy style.

We were sitting on our building lobby's couch while I was wiping the heat off of my right cheek from Sasha's slap just a moment ago from the class. Alex and I are both university students, while on the other hand, I'm a part-time office clerk for extra financial income. We are both going to the Queensland University of Technology and are doing our second year in Bachelor of Law. It's somewhat funny, though, considering that during our teenage days, we almost broke all the possible laws there were. Well, not really, but still.

Alex and I are both 21 years old (me turning 22 in two months) and been best of friend for more than 10 years now. I met him during the first day of our grade 5. He was sitting quietly at the back of the class with a bored expression. Being late for the first day of year 5, I was automatically seated at the back row next to him. Of course, being the nosy and bubbly one I am, I asked him many questions about him. I was surprised that he seemed to enjoy my company and not caring about the teacher's glare towards us. I learned that he really loved Pokemon and we started talking about it for the entire class. That's when we decided to hangout and be best friends forever.

We were sitting in the boring class of Professor Landon when the witch a.k.a Sasha came bursting from the door going crazy and looking for me. Everyone from the class turned their attention to the crazy witch. Even Prof. Landon who were dully discussing about some section of state's criminal code did the same.

"Daniel! You have to talk to me. Please, talk to me babe!" she screamed while panting, maybe from running up the stairs because the elevators were under maintenance check- up for a couple of minutes. Wrong timing for the bitch I supposed.

Sasha was my 1 month girlfriend at the moment . She was wearing her usual slutty tank top and the shortest short you can find. I though it was against university's dress code but knowing how dense she is, she probably doesn't know what dress code is. Her face was bursting with blush on. It actually made her look like a clown.

I stood up from my seat and walked towards her. I could feel eyes on me and I chose to ignore it. "What is it Sasha? Don't you know what you're doing is embarrassing and plainly rude?" I snapped grabbing her left arm taking the direction outside. Her cheap cologne lingered in my nose and I tried my best not to puke on her on the spot.

She yanked her arms off of me and put both her hand in her hips. "I don't care about anything right now, and I think I'm doing this class a favour for saving their asses from this boring subject." she said arrogantly.

There were 'ohhhs' roared from the class. I looked back and I saw Prof. Landon's nose flaring and his was face fuming from anger. But he didn't say a word, which gave me the idea that he knew what Sasha said was somehow true.

"And no Daniel, you don't tell me what I have to do. Just answer my fucking question, why are you breaking up with me, dickhead? After all these time we had, you're just gonna dumped me like a trash?" she gushed.

"You know why Sasha.  You dared to speak horrible words in front of my son behind my back just because you didn't like him. Did you realize how messed up he looked when he came running to me crying so hard? It was not a good thing to see from your love one after a tiring day! And no one, I mean NO ONE has gotten away from insulting my family, specially my son! You're lucky I'm just going to dumped you, you dirty ignorant fucking whore!" I bawled at her face furrowing my eyebrow from anger.

We were standing near the door and I noticed that the whole class turned quiet when I'm in the middle of my raging. I can't believe I agreed to date this witch. She was supposed to be just my one night pleasure.

Sasha really hates my son for any unknown reason ever since she learned that I was a teenage single dad. It's quite interesting though knowing that she is a witch, she should love children because children are her food. How ironic isn't it?

The law class suddenly erupted, cursing and shouting 'Bitch!' 'whore!' 'lunatic bitch' and other rude words that no man (or woman in Sasha's case) can take. They all have the disgusted face throwing at Sasha. The whole class have met my son before and they truly adored him. Who wouldn't? Jared is the most polite and lovely kid that you will ever met.

The crowd of law students were all asking Sasha to get out of the class. Even Prof. Landon was now yelling at her.

"We are done here bitch. And don't you dare come near me again if you love your disgusting life! Now fuck off!" I muttered, my hands were shaking from anger and trying hard not to slap the bitch out of her.

SLAP!

The whole class turned back to silence once again. I was facing my left side now and suddenly felt my right cheek was tingling hot. Realization hit me as I was touching my burning cheek. The the witch just dared to slap me so hard.

That was the time my best friend Alex came for revenge. He threw a crumpled paper towards Sasha's disgusting face. That gave the idea to the whole class to throw a bunch of crumpled paper to her even a whole fucking pages of law book. You know how thick law books can be? Damn, that definitely hurt the bitch of her.

The Professor didn't even try to stop the furious class as they were driving the witch out of the classroom with papers and books. I actually heard someone yelled "pour some water to the witch!" from the corner which made snicker. Sasha walked from the class room and stormed down the building probably taking the stairs again. That served her right. I hope I won't see her forever.

After successfully driving the wicked witch Sasha out of the classroom, I faced everyone. I then said, while raising my right hand toward the direction where Sasha marched out "And I dated her because?"

The whole class burst out laughing including the professor. Ten minutes had passed when the class settled down once again. Prof. Landon decided to continue his interrupted discussion.

"Daniel, I think you should excuse yourself for a while and get some fresh air, eh?" Professor told me out of nowhere, looking at me through his thick eyeglasses.

"I appreciate it prof, I really need that, thank you. Uhm, can I take Alex with me by any chance?" I trailed off, looking at Alex's smirking face and trying so hard to make a puppy face for Prof. Landon.

"Fine, take him with you and be back for the second period, alright?" he said.

"Thank you, sir." I answered.

Alex and I walked out from the class with our bag clinging on our back. And that's how we ended up sitting in the lounge area of the lobby, reflecting about what just happened a moment ago in class.

"I just wanna go home and play with my little Jared." I sighed, thinking about my son and his cute giggles. That made me smile and forget about the tingling heat in my cheek.

"You really love your son, aye mate?" Alex smirked.

"Yes, there's no one in this world that's more important than him." I answered, looking at the ceiling.

"I wish you'll find someone to take care of you as well. Somebody who will love you and your son unconditionally." He said, suddenly getting serious.

That's what I like about Alex, he always thinks about Jared's welfare ever since I chose him as Jared's godfather. And he cares about me a lot just like a real brother. I am the only child of my parents and I am really glad that I have Alex. He is my best friend, and at the same time, my brother.

After a couple seconds of silence, Alex's phone rang from his pocket. Dianne, her long-time girlfriend was obviously calling him just to check him out. Those two love birds can't be separated for too long, and I admire their relationship a lot. Dianne is a perfect match for my best friend, she is the total opposite of Alex and they impressively balance each other out. What Alex's weakness was Dianne's specialty, and vice versa.

I waited for Alex to finish his call, while I'm relaxing on the green soft cushion of the luxurious lobby. I was thinking about my adorable son.

Fifteen more minutes to go before my favourite subject. Another hour of exciting class debate then I can go home and play with my boy.

So that's the end of chapter 1. Please tell me what you think about it before you jump to Chapter 2. I really appreciate every comment from the reader whether it is positive or negative. Cheers!
