~ ANDERSON'S RESIDENCE~
"How could you do this to me, HOW COULD YOU!!" Mr Stanley gruff painfully on his knees. He had just been shot on his right leg. Blood was oozing out and he scrunch his face in pains.
"You left me with no choice Stanley...I had to do this" Mr Harris, his bottom friend replied still pointing a gun at him.
"I trusted you! You were my friend for f**k's sake!!! I'll pay you back for this Harris Cooper!! I'll f**king pay you back for betraying me you crazy son of a GUN!!!" Stanley groaned loudly, charging forward to take his gun which was just few metres away from him. He successfully took it but before he could cocked the gun, Harris shot him at the chest. The bullets penetrate straight into his heart. Blood pumps out massively and he fell heavily to the floor with his mouth widely open. Instantly, he laid down dead with his eyes closed. Blood streaming down every part he was shot.
"Da...daddy..." A little girl's voice quivered almost Inaudibly. She was also on the floor by the stairs with blood gushing out of her head. She had just witnessed her father being shot brutally and her mother was also on the floor already shot on the head.
"Mo..." She couldn't finished calling the word before her little strength left her.
Harris kept his gun inside his coat jacket and heave heavily.
"You brought this upon yourself Stanley" He muttered then walked over to the little girl laying unconscious on the floor. Without uttering a word, he carried her in his arms and left the house.
~NINE YEARS LATER ~ STAR BELLS HIGH~
It was the last day of test. All students groaned just thinking of the paper they're having.
Maths. Virtually every students' enemy except for the brainy ones.
Hallelujah walked care freely to the class humming a song of her own. Her hair flew freely in the air as she bounce twirling and smiling broadly. One could tell she was in a happy mood. Why wouldn't she be? It's the last day of test anyway. She entered the class and walked to her desk not minding the eyes on her.
"Oh! It's chocolate!" She clasped her palms together excitedly on seeing the chocolate bar placed on her desk.
' Good luck...Angel' Was written on a small note stick to the chocolate bar. It's no surprise to her, since that wasn't her first time of receiving such gifts.
She tends to get a tons of gifts daily especially from guys.
Why?
Cause she's pretty.
She giggled and unwrapped it quickly welcoming the sweet thing into her mouth.
"Hmmm..." She moans in relish with her eyes closed chewing slowly and savoring the sweet taste of it.
She twitch a little noticing the weird taste that came from the it. But who cares, it's her favorite chocolate bar anyway. She shrugged it off and took her seat.
Minutes later, Mrs Wells, their Homeroom teacher came in and after a short address, she distributed the papers to them.
Hallelujah was on the second roll so, after the paper was passed to her, she turned back to pass it to the next person behind her and that's when she noticed peering gaze of the demoness itself, watching her. Her evil lips smirking back at her in a way that screams danger.
Eloise demonstrated a gesture of 'I'm watching you' and ' You're dead' to her, with the smirk not leaving her lips but Hallelujah only returned the gesture with an innocent sweet smile before turning back to her front.
"Alright guys, you've got only twenty minutes and it starts now!" The teacher announced and all get to work.
It hasn't been up to ten minutes that Hallelujah starts to feel uncomfortable. It feels like something is moving in her stomach and it wouldn't stop upsetting her.
"No...not now" She squeezed her face fidgeting with her legs on her seat. Her stomach wouldn't stop growling and sweats already broke out on her forehead.
"I can't go now...I promise Mom I'll do well in this test ple_ ow!" She shifted to one side on her seat, her hold on her pen tightened that it broke the pen into two.
Mrs Wells noticed her discomfort and walked towards her inquiring on what the matter is with her.
"I'm...I'm fine Mrs Wells...I'm goo..dd" She lied holding the damn thing in.
"You sure? You don't look too good. How about i_"
"I SAID I'M OKAY!" She finds herself shouting on the teacher and that made her release the gas she had been holding all along.
The students paused in what they're doing covering their noses immediately.
"Ugh! I can't hold it in any longer. I've got to go" She got away from her seat swifty and ran out the door holding her butt and walking funnily. The students couldn't help laughing but Eloise seems more pleased.
Rushing to the restroom, Hallelujah opens the door only to find it locked.
"What the hell...why is this...ah!" She banged on the door but only sounds of giggles came as response from inside.
"Sh*t!" She had to let the damn thing out immediately or she'd really do it on herself any second from now.
"You...jerks!" She gritted.
"Ow!" She turns from the restroom and having no other option, she opens the door to the male toilet.
"Ahhh!!"
"Oh, my!!"
"WTF!!"
"WHAT THE!!!" Were the screams from the boys immediately Hallelujah rushed in on them. Hastily, they all started covering their thing hastily, some rushing out.
Hallelujah not minding anything going on, went to the stalls knocking on it one by one. The third one wasn't occupied so without wasting much time, she trots in to relieve herself.
"Ooof!" She breathes out in relief as the poo rushed out of her @sshole.
"I feel so relived" She smile cleaning her sweats.
***
Minutes later, she was done. She cleaned herself up flushed her poo. Then a relived smile settled on her lips.
"I almost died. That was hell" She opens the door and went out but her eyes caught something unexpected immediately she did.
"Holy F**k!!" She exclaimed loudly.
"Sh*t!" Easton quickly zipped up his pants but Hallelujah already saw it all.
His little dick.
A laugh threatens to bursts out of her mouth but she suppressed it. Even though her face says it all. How hard she's trying to hide the laugh.
"I...I didn't see anything" She muffled said and rushed over to the door.
Easton's reddened eyes followed her.
"That b*tch!" He seethe.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!!" He went after her.
"Oh, my! Why is he chasing after me! What's his problem seriously!!" Hallelujah groans as she runs through the hallway with Easton running after her.
She would have gotten away but unluckily for her, Eloise double crossed her making her halt.
"Get out of my way" She seethe.
"Easton!! Over here! I've got your little rat!" Eloise merely screamed to Easton who ran over to them.
"I need no soothsayer to tell me you've caused another nuisance. Why? What did you do this time around?" Eloise jeered at the same time Easton got to them.
Students already gathered also, eager to watch the drama that's about to happen.
Eloise and Hallelujah has always been at loggerheads and not a day passes without those two bickering about one thing or another.
Eloise is the bad b*tch type. She's got everything to be a bad ass. She's beautiful, smart, tall and endowed. She's really popular among the guys and only goes for the ones that matches her status.
While Hallelujah at the other hand is the complete opposite of the her. Unlike Eloise, she's rather portrayed as an Angel. She has got a face to justify that.
Yeah she's beautiful. Charming and cute. Her simple smile could get guys falling at her feet.
Unlike Eloise, she's rather short and petite. Also, she's not that good in her academics and no matter how popular she is among guys, she never dates any of them.
It is said that these two has been friends from kindergarten but no one knows their history.
Why they hate each other so much remains secret till tomorrow.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Hallelujah jeered back folding her arms.
"But I think it'll be more pleasing for you not to find out. A war would break out if you do. Right Easton?" Hallelujah faced Easton whose face flushed with embarrassment instantly.
"What are you talking about? Easton...what did she do?" Eloise asked but Easton couldn't utter a word. How is he to say something that embarrassing.
"Follow me" He grabbed Hallelujah's wrist pulling her away.
"Let me go!! I did nothing wrong so let me go!!" She struggled fighting out of his hold.
"Shut it before I deal with you" Easton looks back and threaten.
"Don't think you can threaten me! It's not my fault I saw that anyway"
"What?"
"Why? Are you going to bully me...cause I saw something I shouldn't have seen"
"What is she talking about? Easton what's going on?" Eloise urged.
"It's nothing. You just follow me if you don't wanna die"
"Of course i won't follow you! Why should I? It's not my fault you've got a dick of a seven months old so why should I be bullied for that!!" She blurted out.
"What?"
"What?!"
"What did she just say?"
Gasps and murmurs erupt in the whole hall and Easton's eyes enlarged.
"A...a what?" Eloise asked to be sure of what she just said.
"Yeah! You heard right. Five minutes ago I just found out your great bully of a boyfriend here has a dick as small as a seven months old baby!!" She countered.
"Ask him if you think I'm lying or pull down his pants right here" Hallelujah added.
"Easton?" Eloise called slowly demanding an explanation.
"Hey. Don't tell me you don't know about this. You guys are dating so you should know better"
"Eloise I..."
"Was this the reason? Was this why you always gave lame excuses whenever I asked to be intimate!!" Eloise shouted at his face.
"I was gonna tell you. At the right time.."
"The right time??"
"Babe listen i_" A slap landed on his face stopping him from talking.
"Wow...this is getting more intense. This is my chance" Hallelujah tried sneaking away but Eloise drag her back before she could.
"Ahh what now!"
"Where do you think you're going?"
"To wherever I deem fit. It's none of your business"
"You want to run away after causing a rift between us??"
"Then what do you want me to do! It's between you so sort it out yourselves. You should be happy and thankful cause you found out about this because of me so why the wrangling?"
"You!"
"Don't even think of pouring out your frustrations on me. Pour it on him instead..I'm not the one who deceived your sorry ass!"
"How dare you run your mouth right now you lout!" Easton grip unto her collar also seething angrily.
"Let me go!!"
"Would you if you were me?
"So what do you want from me?"
"Apologize"
"What?"
"Apologize to me and Eloise...then I'll think about forgiving you" Easton said and she scoffs.
"Hallelujah doesn't apologize...I'll never do that"
"Really??" Easton smirks darkly.
"You must really wanna die uh?" He glared dangerously at her scaring her out of her wits. Hallelujah gulped.
"Ermm...instead of apologizing I've got a better idea" She said which got Easton raising a brow.
"How about I sing you a song?" She Opined.
"Do I look like I'm kidding right now?"
"Hey, come on. This could be classified as an apology also. Let me go. I'll sing and dance for you. The kids are here and they'll all film this. It'll be all over the school and I'll be the one humiliated isn't that better?" Hallelujah asked.
"How can I trust you? You're one cunning little witch"
"You think I'll do something crazy enough to make you kill me then? I...am so scared of you right now. Can't you see I'm shaking??"
Easton smirks and let her go then face the students.
"You better capture this well" He stepped back and Hallelujah clears her throat.
"Here I go" She smiles and all eyes focused on her.
"Twinkle twinkle little dick! She pointed at Easton's pants surprising him and every other person there.
How I wonder what you are, She shrugged.
So tiny to fit a hole She gestured to Eloise this time around.
Like a needle in the well!" She sang sarcastically dancing funnily at the same time.
Like a needle in the well!!
LIKE A NEEDLE!! She sang.
IN THE WELL!!! The students sang back loudly.
I SAY LIKE A NEEDLE!! She sang loudly.
IN THE WELL!!! Everyone chorus.
Laughter filled up the place, and Easton looks around ashamed.
"HEYYYYY!!!" Eloise yelled out in anger making her stop and turn. Hallelujah looks at her with an innocent face.
"Why? You don't like it?" She asked starring at the fuming Eloise.
"By the way I've got a question for ya...I'm asking this because I'm curious and I'm sure everyone here is also. How do you guys do it?" She quizzed.
"What?"
"Think about it...a wide hole" She gestured to Eloise.
"And a tiny mini tweeny little dicky" She gestured to Easton this time.
"Just wondering...how do you guys cope?" She asked again and Eloise eyes turned red.
"Ah! Right!" Hallelujah snaps her fingers together.
"I forgot you just found out also." She beams.
Easton palms fisted tightly. He's tempted to hit her right now, but the blame would be on him if he were to hit a girl like her in public.
"But it must be hard on your Eloise...for a girl like you it must have been painful and torturing right?" She jibbed.
That's it, now Eloise was at her peak. She couldn't take it in anymore.
"How dare you f**king witch!!" Eloise raised her hand up to slap her but...
"AHH!!" She ended up screaming out loud in pain when Hallelujah grab her hand midway and clamp her teeth on it.
"ARGGHH!! AGGHHH! GET OFF ME B**TCH!!" She yelled pulling her hair roughly but her teeth gnaw on her hand persistently.
"SOMEONE GET THIS DOG OFF ME!!" Eloise continued yelling in immense pain and finally satisfied, Hallelujah released her breathing hard. Eloise fell on her butt wailing non stop at her bitten hand.
Hallelujah wiped her mouth and smiles.
"Go to the hospital and report to me. My Mother will take care of the bills" She humf and flaunt her hair then turns to leave but only to see the principal on his way to them.
"Holy f**k!" She cussed beneath her breath twitching her face.
"Hallelujah I caught you! Don't think of running away this time around" The principal rushed over to her side pointing a baton at her. Hallelujah raised her head up and gave the approaching principal a sly smile.
"System down. Hallelujah going on standby" Were the words that came from her mouth before her head went down with her eyes closing just as if a robot just shut down.
"HEYYYYYYY!!!" The principal yelled out loud.
~NINE YEARS AGO~ COOPER'S RESIDENCE~
"Oh, Yeah! I Gorrrit! I gorrit!!" Milo's eyes focused intently on the TV with his fingers controlling the PS madly. The door opens and he could hear some movements behind him.
"Hey Dad ya late" He said without looking back still concentrating on the game. He need no soothsayer to tell him that was his Dad who just came in since they're the only ones living in the big mansion. When he didn't heard a response, he had to look back but was rather shocked to see his Dad carrying a little girl in his arms. His arms was dripping with blood seems like he got wounded. Mr Harris head upstairs without giving his son, Milo a look or uttering a word to him.
"What happened now?" Milo muttered facing his game back. But not paying attention to it for a little while made him lose the game.
"Sh*t!" He dropped the PS his eyes traveling up to the stairs. Then he sighs loudly.
GUEST ROOM.
Mr Harris dropped the little girl on the bed and stare at her.
"Who is she? An estrange sister of mine?" Milo's voice made him look back and he saw his son standing by the door post with a first aid box in his hand. Mr Harris looked back at the girl and Milo walked fully inside the room.
"Here" He extend a cotton to him. Mr Harris collected it and started treating the wound on the girl's head. He says nothing still. That's the case for Mr Harris. He's a man of a few words but his son is the exact opposite to him. Loquacious and never gets tired of talking.
"She looks pretty young. Probably ten or nine...where did you find her?" He asked again not to get a response. Not like he expected one anyway.
"Poor girl..." He pouted staring at her. Milo is seventeen and is in his last year in high school but he acts like a total child. He wasn't pampered or spoilt, it is just his nature. He always smiles no matter the situation and always carries positive vibes around making him loved by everyone. Sometimes Mr Harris wondered if he's truly his son because he's nothing like him.
"You should get treated too. That looks pretty bad" Milo refer to the gunshot wound on his shoulder. He isn't surprised by it or anything. This isn't the first time his father would come home injured. Given the nature of his job, he shouldn't be coming home with this kinds of wounds but guess his, is different after all.
"She's your wife" Mr Harris finally spoke catching him off guard.
"Uh?"
"Your wife" He repeated laconically while Milo just stood stunned.
"Bandage" He requested snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Ohh...here Dad" He quickly gave it to him. He wasn't really expecting a full explanations to what his father just told him cause he knows if it's necessary he wouldn't have used just the two words 'Your wife' the second time he talked. After wrapping the bandage around the girl's head, he covers her properly with the duvet then turns to Milo.
"Don't just stay up playing games, solve some puzzles and sleep early" He said to him as he occasionally says then took the first aid box on the table and walked out of the room. Milo just stood stagnant watching the girl throughout. His lips parted and he uttered.
"So...you're my wife"
NINE YEARS LATER̾~ PRESENT~ HAMILTON'S MANSION~
Hallelujah kept her head down fiddling with her fingers at the same time. After her little drama in the school earlier, her parents were called on together with Easton's and Eloise's.
After several argument, pleading and all, the families settled all differences but throughout the whole thing, Hallelujah never uttered a word so as her eyelids never opened once. She totally blacked out.
"Are you proud of yourself?" Mrs Hamilton asked clearly angered.
"Ma_" She tried to talk but Mrs Hamilton raised a finger shutting her up. She suck in her lower lip.
"Hallie dear I thought we talked about this. We made a promise remember? You promised to stay out of trouble" Mr Hamilton said from the sofa he was seated.
"Of course I do Pa. But the situation was_ "
"Was what? Is this how we taught you? Hallelujah you're begotten from the lord how could you do such a shameless and disgraceful thing! You...you never cease to get yourself into trouble don't you?" Her mother flared.
"Ma_"
"You have no intention to change even if we shout from today till the lord returns right! You're gonna continue being so delinquent and immoral!!" Mrs Hamilton blurted out.
