Session 1

"Good job Fabio. You got another 100." The class awed, some sneered, as the tall lanky lad approached the professor's desk. He had a short messy hair and his eyes were covered with a thick pair of glasses. The lad muttered his thanks as he quickly took his paper and returned to his seat.

The professor returned to the test papers to call out the next student. His smile was immediately turned into a frown. "Mr. Angelo Sicario." He bleakly said.

The entire class turned their attention on the last row. Specifically, at the boy sleeping on his desk. He was nudged by his classmate who was seated beside him. He jumped up. "Yes sir?" It was an automatic reaction. His amber eyes focused at the stern expression of the professor who was waving his paper in the air. Getting the message, he headed towards the teacher. "This could not be good." He muttered while running his hand through his jet black hair.

The older man handed the paper. "A failed mark again, Mr. Sicario." He gave the boy a disappointing look. "You better start thinking on catching up or you'll fail this course." He whispered in a low tone but enough for the boy to hear.

Angelo grinned and nodded as he took his paper without even looking at it. On his trip back to his seat, he took notice of the perfect score written on Fabio's paper then slumped to his seat. He stuffed his paper in his bag and returned to sleep.

When the bell rang, another classmate nudged Angelo again. As he woke up, he immediately went straight to Fabio. "Hey what's up?" He greeted. He was still rubbing his eyes.

"What do you want?" The other replied as he continued packing his books.

Angelo ignored the cold demeanor of the classmate. "Actually I'm here to ask a favor."

"I assume you needed a tutor."

"Haha! You got that correct."

Fabio went silent, still deciding on what to say next. Angelo gave the most pitiful expression he could muster. "Okay, fine. Just don't look at me that way."

Angelo returned to his usual grin. "Thanks a lot. So I'll be seeing you after class."

"Yes, yes. Excuse me but I still have another class to attend." The nerd replied while the other agreed. Both went out of the room and gone separate ways.

Later that day, Fabio was walking away from the gates of the university. He intended to reach home as soon as possible. "Hey Fabio!!" His shoulders tensed as he immediately recognized the voice. He cursed under his breath for being caught. He slowly turned around to acknowledge the two large boys approaching him. "Why are you such in a hurry?" One of them said.

Fabio nervously rubbed the back of his head as he could feel the cold sweat building. "S-sorry guys, b-b-but I really have to go." He began mentally praying that the boys could spare him even for a day. But he realized that his chances were slim since he was able to avoid them a few days ago. He thought about running but it will only end up far more worse so he dropped the idea.

They ignored his last statement. One of them slung his arm around the nerd's neck. "Come on Fabio. It's been a while since we last saw each other. Why don't we have a celebration today."

Fabio shivered. He could hear the cracking noises created by the boys' knuckles as they were preparing for their so called 'feast'. "Nah. I think I'll pass." He gave a nervous chuckle.

"Come on!" He was pulled closed. "This guy hasn't got practice at all." He heard the boy said. He could feel the fist pressed against his cheek. He shut his eyes. He prepared himself for the coming blow but felt nothing. "What the..." He heard. He could only assume that they were caught off guard. His bully's hold loosened so he took a chance to escape.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" The bully was pissed off at the intruder who still held his fist firmly.

Fabio fixed his glasses then took a glance at the person who saved him from the beating. "Angelo??"

Angelo, on the otherhand, gave a light chuckle at his classmate's recognition. "Thank goodness I found you. I can't seem to find the answer in our assignment today. So I really need your help."

Fabio's jaw dropped.

"Hey. You better close that." Angelo pointed at the nerd's mouth. "You don't want to catch a fly in there."

Fabio's eye twitched. He was refraining himself to knock some sense the other guy.

"Hey. Let go." The bully threatened. The grip on his fist was tight that he couldn't pull away.

Angelo grinned. "Sure, but I want to make sure first that you won't inflict any injuries on my tutor."

"Why you..." The bully, who was pissed at the last remark, threw a punch towards intruder.

Angelo, sensing the attack, crushed the other's fist. It halted the punch as the bully cried in pain. The other boy reacted and was about to attack when an elbow was connected to the bridge of his nose.

Fabio was shocked at the scene. Hell, he didn't even expected the fight to be that fast. But what suprised him the most is that his classmate's innocent expression was still plastered on his face.

The two boys retreated. "We'll get you for this bastard!"

Angelo ginned back and waved at them. "Sure. Goodbye! See you guys tommorrow!"

Fabio glared at the other. "What the heck are you saying?"

"Well I'm bidding them farewell. What else?" Angelo replied.

"The hell! You're just insulting them more. Now they'll come back for sure!"

"Why don't you want them to return? Aren't you guys friends?" Angelo asked.

"Can't you see that they almost beat me up? Friends? Are you stupid??"

Angelo narrowly looked at the the other. "Are you ungrateful?"

Fabio suddenly went silent. He forgot that the guy just saved his life. He immediately looked away as he muttered his thanks.

"You're welcome." The other replied. "So about the tutoring."

"Ah, sure." Fabio mentally slapped himself for forgetting. "Why don't we go to your house then."

Angelo shook his head. "That won't do. Let's go to you place instead." He walked ahead.

"Hey don't decide things for yourself!" Fabio exclaimed but was ignored again. He let out a defeated sigh. "You're going the wrong way!" He head towards the opposite direction. he could hear the other laughing at himself and catching up.

Angelo was the first to speak up. "At last, I was able to talk to you." Fabio raised an eyebrow at the other's statement. "Yup. You're easily dragged around by people. Either that or always on the run from your 'friends'. It seems that every living specie is chasing you down except for the ladies." He fiercely glared at the other, hopefully burning a hole on other's skull. "And you usually hang out at the police station. Is that you're hideout?"

"No." He bitterly replied. "I don't hide in the police station. I'm not scared at those guys." The other looked at him with disbelief. It irriteted him. He was telling the truth. His best friend is a police officer. It was just natural for him to visit for a few minutes. "What's wrong with HANGING OUT in the poilce station?"

Angelo scratched the back of his head. "I almost forgot to tell you." He grinned as he said. "I'm a hitman."

"Eh?"
