The Most Mysterious Gangster

Chapter Two

Violet Mercado

"Hey, I asked some of our classmates about you, but they just told me your name, which is Violet Mercado. Then they told me to be wary of you and distance myself from you if I don't want to be embarrassed in front of other people," Jane said the moment I took my seat. I didn't answer. "Did you ever learn how to talk to other people?" Jane asks me, annoyed while trying to catch my eyes, but all I did was look outside the window.

"Hey look, the new girl is talking to Violet," Classmate 1 whispered.

"Yeah. Looks like someone's going to be ignored by violet again," Classmate 2.

"Jane stop talking to her! She's not going to answer you," some man suddenly shouted from the front. I look around and notice that most of my classmates are looking in our direction. Looks like Jane is the reason we're being stared at.

"Why aren't you talking to other people?" Jane asked again. She's got my attention and I only look at her. "Why can't you answer me? Hey!" she asks me with a furrowed brow. I just turned my attention to the window and ignored all of her questions. While the professor isn't there yet, I look into my phone to remove my boredom.

Jun Villaruel

"Here," Arthur said, then give me a piece of paper. We are in our first class, but the professor isn't here yet, so I'm trying to take a nap. "What is that?" I asked him in annoyance.

"A little help for you, and that's Violet's phone number," he answered with a smirk.

"Help? TSS. You're just making fun of me," I said sarcastically.

"I was just trying to help. Here, give her a text," he said, then forcefully gave me the piece of paper. I am the leader but why are they doing this to me? But then, I had no choice but to send her a text.

[Violet let's have lunch together.] -Me

[Who are you?]- Violet

[Jun.]

[I didn't come to school.] -Violet

[Jayson saw you earlier. Don't lie to me.]

[I don't need some company at lunch.]-Violet

[You'll join me at lunch or I'll join you, pick one or I'll come to your house.]

[If you make a bet with me, don't do it, you'll fail.]-Violet

[We will have lunch together whether you like it or not.]

"She can talk through the text," I said and they all looked at me surprised.

"She replied?" Dave asked, amused.

"Yes," I replied when Jason snatched my phone. "You're right!" he said while going through my phone.

"Give that back!" I said and took my phone back from Jayson.

"You're such a killjoy," Jayson said when they all left the room.

Violet Mercado

*Lunchtime*

The moment the time ticks to noon, I quickly take all of my things and go straight to the exit to avoid Jun. But, "What do you want to eat?" Jun asks while leaning towards the wall in front of the classroom door. I ignored him again. "You can talk through text but you can't talk in-person?" Jun asked while following me.

"Do you have a problem with talking? You talked to me the other day but, why don't you talk now? Are you offended by what I said the other day? If I say sorry, will you talk to me now?" he asked while following me to the cafeteria, and answered. I answered none of his questions.

"What can I get you?" The lady asks for our orders. I was about to give my order but Jun decided on his own, so I let him be. The moment he got his orders, he grabbed my wrist and took me to the table in the middle of the cafeteria.

"Who is she? Why is she with Jun?" Girl 1

"I have no idea. Maybe they are making a bet. But still, it's annoying because she's with Jun," Girl 2

"Who is she?" Flirt 1

"Why is she with my love?" Flirt 2

"Maybe it's just a dare, so don't worry girls, it won't last long," Flirt 3

"Why are they together? I'm so disappointed," Boy 1

"F*ck! You know they are always making a bet, right? So, we still have a chance with Violet," Boy 2

"That's Jun, right? The one with Violet?" Another boy 1

"Why are they together?" Another boy 2

" Just another dare," Another boy 3

"Let's make a bet, I'm sure they won't succeed," Another boy 1

"I bet they will succeed," Another boy 2

"I bet they will end up together," Another boy 3

Those are some of the whispers that I can hear, or rather shout that I can hear. Can't they talk more quietly? They don't need to make me hear what they're saying because I don't care. What an awkward situation when they talked about me, but I can't say what's on my mind.

"Let's eat," Jun said, then placed the tray on the table in front of me. I didn't bother to talk and started eating. It's free so I can't refuse blessings. "Here, eat this," Jun said, and tried to put a plate of rice in front of me, but I tried to stop the plate but he insisted, so I looked at him annoyed. He stopped and put the rice to the side. "Why aren't you eating rice and why are you only tasting the dishes? You buy rice outside then give it to the homeless. You shouldn't pity them, it's their fault that they are poor because they didn't study well, they don't work and they are lazy. Aren't you disgusted? They look like cr*p," Jun said, but I ignored it.

The reason I do it is that I can and it is the only way to help homeless people. I got used to it, leaving a leftover for that family. After eating, I immediately left without looking back to see if I had left anything.

"Hey! You! Why are you lurking around Jun? He's mine!" Jessica asked, then grabbed my hair downwards. I fell on my butt because of that. *BOGSH!*

"VIOLET! What happened?" Jun suddenly appeared. I didn't bother to answer, I got off the floor and walked away as if nothing had happened. “What is your problem? Why did you do that?" Jun shouted angrily... "She's flirting at you Jun!" the girl shouted back. "You don't care!" Jun shouted back.

I noticed that he was getting near me. "Violet! Are you okay?" Jun asked asked I didn't answer. "Just ignore them," he said. But I continued walking away. If he ever found out who, I am sure he won't be this friendly towards me.

No one knows who I am in the Gangster World because of the mask that I wore while fighting. In Gangster World it is legal to have a secret identity. So, Jun has no idea that I am Shadow, his rival. I am a leader just like Jane and Jun. Like them, I have members in my gang, but they don't go to this school. Because even my members have no idea what I look like behind my mask.

Later, I arrived at my apartment and Jun was still following me. "Do you want me to love you?" Jun asked out of nowhere, which stopped me from entering the gate and asked me to take out my phone.

[Stop trying because you will never have my attention]
