Short Story: Untitled


Walking through the corridor of his school, Stev recall those memory when he was younger. New kid on the block with brain.

Back then , when he first came into class nobody care with him. But within one year, Stev showed his ability in academic, rank 1 twice in a year. Of course, teacher and friends were amazed, and he got a lot of close friends to study with him. He studied with his friend thrice a week, but he never realized that someone had been watching him.
One day when he got home, someone was waiting for him in front of his door
             
   "Where have you been you bastard!? You haven't pay your rent for 5 month!"
              
  " I'm sorry sir but i have not have any money yet, I even haven't eat for 2 days..." said Stev .
               

The guy kicked Stev in the chest
              
  "And you think that's my business!? Pay it before next week or I'll kick you out!"
The man had left, leaving him sitting on the ground with pain in his chest. All he could do was just sitting, starring with hatred to the leaving man. Not long after the man disappear, Stev hear something from the shadow.
             
   "Well well well, what do we have here? I never thought you live in such a place..." showing himself from the shadow

It was true, nobody know where Stev live and how is the condition. He live in a small room, rented from the man. Now this boy that just appear is his school mate. Dan, a boy who used to be number one in the school before Stev move in. They didn't know each other, or so Stev thought, and he didn't like Dan althou he didn't know why.
             
   "What do you want?" asked Stev, annoyed.
              
  " Whoa! Easy mate, i come to help"
             
   "I don't need your help!"
               
 "I know you need money, and i know you can't make a lot of money quickly, here, sell this gambling tickets, you can get $500, more than enough for your rent and food" Dan said as he walking away and disappear in the shadow.

Stev had no choice but to sell it, if he wanted to make money and that was what he wanted. So he walked  to the market and started to offer the ticket to potential people. Just when the potential people gather, police came and manage to caught Stev. When the police was about to bring Stev, a man came, talk to the police, and the police released Stev.
                "Get into the car" Said the man
                "Who are you?"
                "If you want to stay safe, get in." and Stev got in.

Much to his surprise, Dan was inside the car
                "How fool I am, to have sent you to do the dirty job. I know you have some question but let's head to my house first and talk"

As they arrived, Stev was shocked to see Dan's house, no, mansion. It was so huge and heavily guarded, and when they entered the door he saw that the handle is made of gold, judging from the house he was sure it was real gold.
         
  "Follow me" as they enter the dining room and began to eat
 “i’m sure you want to have a better life” said Dan as they eat
“how better my life would be if i should follow what you say?”
“beyond what you ever think, you don’t have to answer it now”
“i don’t have to think twice”
“we have a deal then, don’t worry, all you have to do is just managing  my business”
“gambling business?”
“and drugs, the manager just died 2 years ago, and i have a lot of work so i’m sure i can leave it to you”
“don’t worry about that”

Within one year Dan’s drug business was rocketing. As the business grew, so did the police, they had been surveying Dan’s business and launched a secret investigation. Unknown to Stev and Dan, they had a mole inside their business. Dan’s house was ambushed and after the fierce fight, the police managed to catch Stev. He was sentence to death, and when she was asked his last wish
“Allow me to visit my school”

At first the police disagree to grant his wish, but finally agree
Walking through the corridor of his school, Stev recall those memory when he was younger. New kid on the block with brain. He was guarded by the police, in case if wanted to run away. Not far in an abandoned building, a squad of sniper is taking position waiting the order to shoot, and the are waiting order from a man behind them, Dan.
