Chapter Two: The Second Day Is Harder

Xandar's P.O.V:

I woke up to my alarm with a groan. As I stood up and got dressed, I remembered that I'm only a few days away to help Charlie with her rehabilitation program. Shit. This should be interesting. After making a cup of coffee, I sat down to drink it. While taking the first sip, I thought of something that's been in my mind for the past day...why was Charlie familiar?

I don't think I've even met Charlie before yesterday. But why is she so familiar!? I feel I'm going to have to ask her. But for now? It's back to the school. As I walked out the door, I thought about the students in the program so far. Aside from Charlie, the head of the class, there was Alastor, Husk...shit. Who else? I shrugged.

I walked up to the building and entered. Still reeks of cigarettes and liquor. I noticed Alastor right away. He walked towards me. Oh boy...here we go.

"Good morning Xandar!" He cheered. "How are you liking Hazbin High so far?" He asked. I thought about it. Aside from the smell and the students, it was pleasant.

"I think it's...nice so far. Though I dislike the smell..." I trailed off in thought.

"Well that makes two of us!" Alastor laughed. "Ya know, I came up with the name. I thought it fit for the plan. These are hazbins with barely any hope for redemption."

Does he have to be this creepy? I nodded. "Well, that's all, I think I'm gonna head to class now." I walked out of there as fast as I could.

Angel's P.O.V:

I sat with Val smoking. I hated him, but he technically pays me. While we sat, Velvet was talking about wearing a red, glittery dress to homecoming. "-And I think it'll look great!" She finished with a confident smile.

"Well, you're already appealing," Vox replied with a smile. Val looked at him with a frustrated expression. Vox turned to him. "What? Still looking for that Xandar guy?" He asked rhetorically.

"Yeah! And if he doesn't walk by in the next five minutes, I'll have Angel get him for me!" Valentino answered angrily. I rolled my eyes.

"On it," I said throwing my cigarette on the floor and stomping it out. "Don't worry Val, he'll be working for you by the end of the day."

"Good boy," Val replied with a grin. I really hated him. But money is money, liquor is liquor and dicks are dicks.

I found Xandar in class. Ok. Gotta play it cool. I knocked on the door and opened it. "Mr. Pentious. Xandar is needed by Charlie," I lied.

"Fine by me," Mr. Pentious replied. Xandar sighed and stood up. He walked toward me and smiled. As I closed the door, he asked, "Charlie needed me?"

I sighed. "Yeeeeah, I kinda lied because my boss is the one who wants to talk."

Xandar raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I'm going to go talk to some random stranger?" He challenged.

I growled. "Do ya think I'm fucking asking you?" I demanded. I grabbed his arm. "Let's go before Val kicks my ass."

"Do I get a say in this!?" Xandar practically screamed in my ear.

"No," I answered calmly. I came across Valentino and threw Xandar at his feet. "Here he is."

"Ah, Mr. Xandar!" Valentino said putting on the charm. "A pleasure to meet you. I am Valentino. The greatest porn creator in history. Well, recent history I admit."

Xandar sighed and stood up. "I'll take it this meeting is about something you want from me, right?" He asked. I facepalmed. Duh!

"Yes indeed," Val replied before puffing on his cigarette and blowing the smoke at Xandar. Xandar stood stone faced as he stared at Val. "I have the offer of a lifetime for you. How would you like to join me as a star?"

"A pornstar, right?" Xandar inquired. Valentino nodded and purred.

"Correct. Now, seeing as how you'll say yes, I'll say we split it 60/40. You get the forty, I get the sixty. Then we'll discuss higher costs-" he didn't get a chance to finish as Xandar gave his reply.

"No thank you. I'm happy being a writer," he replied.

"Ah, so you want to write some scenes. That's even better-" Val tried again.

"I am NOT interested in being in the realm of porn. I'm sure your friend here, is content being a star...but I have no interest in exploiting my body or skills. So please understand, my answer is no," Xandar finished. My face went pale. This isn't going to go well...for either of us.

"You think you can say no to me?" Val asked politely. "Because, news flash kid, NO ONE says no to me!" He shouted.

"Well I must be the first," Xandar challenged. Val put out his cigarette and grabbed Xandar by the shirt.

"If you don't say yes, you WILL be the last," Val threatened.

"Uh. Boss?" I begin walking over. "I don't think this is a-" I feel a sharp pain in my face and fall over.

"Stay out of this bitch!" Val shouted.

"How dare you?" Xandar growled pushing Val off of him. "You think you're tough shit, don't you? Just because you're bigger and have money. I'm not afraid of you. He may have tried dragging me into this, but I can tell a good person when I see one."

"Please," Val scoffed. "No one at Hazbin High is good. He's as fucked up as anyone else."

"So you admit you're fucked to too?" Xandar laughed. "Damn, never thought I'd see you make an idiot of yourself."

Val stuttered in anger. After a moment he scoffed. "This ain't over sweet cheeks. You will join me. And I WILL have the last laugh. Come on Vox and Velvet, we're gonna have a chat." He then turned to me. "See you at seven Angel Cakes."

"Hey," Xandar said. I look up at him. "Are you ok?" He asked holding his hand out to me.

"...This is a trick," I sob.

"No. I'm being honest. I hate seeing people get treated like that..." He replied trailing off. I look up at him in shock.

"You...aren't mad at me?" I gasped. He shook his head. I looked at his hand again and grabbed it as he pulled me up. "Thanks."

"It's no big deal. Hey, uh...I didn't get your name," he said causing me to chuckle lightly.

"I guess not," I laughed. "Name's Angel Dust. But you can call me Angel."

"Well Angel, it's really nice to meet you." He smiled at me. I smiled back.

Charlie's P.O.V:

"See Vaggie?" I inquired with a smile. "That's progress! If Angel was able to smile and allow himself to be helped, he's on the right path!" I explained.

Vaggie sighed. "Charlie, listen. I know that you're hoping for this to work. But I don't think he has what it takes."

I sighed. "Vaggie," I started grabbing my glass of water and sipping it. "I know Xandar can do this!" I stated bluntly.

"Charlie. What he did was years ago. Even if he remembers, he is not an angel from the clouds. He used language and trickery to stop Valentino. That's not quite a redeeming quality." She looked at me sadly. "I'm sorry hun. But I think he'll mess up. And it's bad enough that Heaven High sees us as failures."

"Vaggie please. Just give him a chance. I know he'll get us in their good graces. Give him a chance!" I plead giving her puppy dog eyes.

She chuckled. "Oh, you know I can't argue with a face like that."

"I know," I said jokingly.
