CHAPTER 1: Stupid Buddies

The sun rose .

Lance Yuhi sat up from the bed. He looked at his friend Aidan Miley who was still sleeping and started tapping him lazily.

" It's my day off, you cow dung!! Let me sleep." Aidan said pulling the blanket closer to himself.

" Guess what I'll do if you don't wake up. I mean you're awake but if you don't get up of..."

" Shut it scumbag."

Lance then got up and went in sports.When he got back, Aidan was still sleeping. He then took bath,dressed and of course Aidan was still sleeping. He then went in the kitchen , took two sauce pans and then got them close to Aidan's ear and started clanging them together.

" Ya!! Can't you give me peace of mind!!!!??!!" Aidan said angrily sitting up. Lance looked at him with a smile and shook his head.

" Seeing you at peace bothers me." Lance said with a satisfied smile on his lips shaking his head.Aidan looked at him as if he would swallow him alive and lied an the bed again.

" May you be fired!" He told Lance angrily. Lance just smiled and walked to work.

He was well known for his warm character. People liked him, he thought but that wasn't the truth.

He worked at a theater . He wrote plays. It was a job he truly liked. The job that he never imagined abandoning for another one. When he reached at the theater, he smiled and appreciated the building.Before he could enter a lady came towards him. She was the owner. She wasn't such a beauty queen .... No need to describe, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. In Lance eyes, no girl appeared too attractive to him. He hadn't figured out his type yet.Lance politely greeted this elegant lady.

She replied." What are you doing here?" She asked .Lance was quite confused. Realizing his expression, Ana the lady gave a fake laughter.

"Hahahaha, I really guess you don't read your email." She said as if it was something embarrassing. Her expression suddenly changed to serious after she had finished saying they sentence.

"Your contract is over and I have already told that I can't keep you. I have already gave the job to someone at least good."

What did she mean by that 'at least good.'?

Lance looked at Ana. This lady didn't like him. He knew that from the very start.

" I will start to check my emails regularly. Thanks." He said with a smile and slightly bowed at the lady. Ana entered leaving him out alone.

"Aidan that idiot cursed me I'm going to kill him. Yes kill him." He murmured to himself and let his legs lead him home, feeling down. He had a key of his own. He entered the apartment. And the hell! His sister was sitting there in school uniform playing video games with... Aidan!

"I'm going to kill you both!" Lance shouted angrily slamming the door.

" I swear there is nothing going on between me and your lovely pretty sister." Aidan had already stood up stepping backward as he said this making gestures.

"You just called her lovely. Plus pretty. Death is yours now buddie." Lance said quite dramatically. He then looked at his sister.

" Is it allowed to dye your hair at your school?" Lance asked her and she cutely shook her head and then nodded. Her hair was dyed purple.

"Dye your hair back to black." He told her calmly carelessly waving his hand to her.

"I like purple."

" You're still a student. " He then approached , took her bag and gave it to her . She took it nervously,hugging it slowly and moved to the door.

" Is this a fashion show? Wear the bag on the back and run to school. Know that I'll call your teacher to know if you really went there. Understood?" She nodded. A satisfied smile appeared on Lance's lips. His sister then walked out and gently closed the door. Lance then turned to Aidan who nervously smiled.

"Why're you back early ,bro?"

"So, because I had caught you with my sister, you're calling me Bro?!"

" I swear..."

Before he could finish talking he was punched at the nose and it bleed.

" Are you crazy?" " I hadn't even finished to explain myself!"

"That's not needed." Lance said in low spirit and sat in the couch for moment and later lied there. Lance trusted that this guy wouldn't do anything to a girl morever his sister. From Lance's young age,skipping class was his thing.And when he met Aidan in highschool, they became experts in skipping school.

"You were fired." Aidan said calmly and later started to laugh at After a few seconds of laughing, Aidan now stopped laughing and cleared his throat as he mumbled,

" Okay. I guessed right."

" Now you be the one staying... Oh, I know somewhere needing a person." He added. Lance quickly sat up." Take me there."

" No! Not for free dear brother. Pay!" Aidan gently said with a smile.

" I may make you cry with that mouth you're smiling with now." Lance murmured. Aidan laughed.

" Just cook ,serve me dinner and yep, sing as I eat."

" Damn you!" Lance went in the kitchen, cooked. He put in as much salt as he could put in and as much spice as he could. He served.

" Wow!" Aidan exclaimed happily." This the first time someone had knew my taste without being told it. I'm truly touched." Aidan said as he ate with appetite. He then looked at Lance." Don't sing brother. I know your voice can't even be compared to the one of the crow as it's too too too too bad."

Lance sat staring at Aidan as he ate. After eating, he was satisfied. He leaned back in a chair closing his eyes satisfied. He felt too good.

" Wake up!!" Lance said as he splashed water on his face. Aidan opened his eyes cursing the guy in front of him and then stood up.

" Let's go." And then Aidan led the way. They went to a bus stop.

" What if am lying?" Aidan asked calmly.

" What if I break your bones?" Lance asked as a reply more calmly.

" Answering a question with a question? You really can't be serious."

" Answering your own question? You really are dumb."

Aidan looked at Lance in disbelief and laughed. Lance looked like he would remove this guy's teeth. They reached

The simple building was located near a forest.

" Hi guys!" Aidan greeted cheerfully and they replied happily. " This is my guy." Aidan said putting his arm around Lance's shoulder.

" Put your arm off me . Or I'll chop it off." Lance whispered to him.

And then a good looking young lady , came.

Aidan whispered with a smile," I really like this lady. She is cute, charming, she will be my wife."

" You like almost every lady. Continue dreaming. At least you can get what you want in dreams . Of course only in dreams."

" Why did we be friends?"

" You're hired." The lady told Lance.She then turned to Aidan ." Thanks." She said with a gentle smile. Not that charming to Lance but Aidan... Lance shook his head.Lance didn't even know what they did. He looked in front and saw people wood carving. He really didn't know this kind of thing. The lady saw it . " We are divided into a couple of teams. No need to worry."

" Thanks."

" By the way, Magda is my name."

" Lance." He said calmly. Aidan then left the place.Magda led him in the middle. The room was more like a hall. She clapped her hands to attract attention

This will be your new work mate . Treat him good. No violence. You know the rules." She then turned to Lance. " We will sign the contract tomorrow. That's your team." She said pointing at the men and a few ladies sitting in the corner.He went to them. His eyes then saw a young lady , wearing an eye patch, an overall. She looked quite familiar but he couldn't just seem to remember where they had met. He kept staring at her and then, the girl also shifted her gaze from the wood she was carving to him.
