“Samson, Samson, wake up. Can you hear me, my child? (sighs) I finally found you, my son… oh my dear boy, Mummy’s missed you so much…let’s go home. (an explosion is heard quite far from where they are) Mum will be back soon, ok?” (She readies her gun, leaves and soon after, multiple gun shots are heard. The little boy she was speaking to crawls to the noise and finds his mother dead and drenched in blood, some of her own, some NOT of her own. He cries out….)

Samson: Ahh! (sits up on his bed) Ugh, this again! I’ve been having these dreams of my mom for far too long! (looks at his drugs on the nightstand beside his bed) And these stupid so-called drugs don’t even work. (sighs and looks to his right) Maria, up from the bed, come on. Get up already!
13Please respect copyright.PENANA6BbtHHTw9P
Maria stirred and sat up on her bed, grumbling all the while, glared at her annoying older brother, which was Samson, and walked to the foot of his bed.
Maria: I am up, see? Why are you always so cranky in the mornings? (holds his hand) Or…did you have ‘that’ dream today too?
Samson: (sighs, nods and hugs Maria tightly) Sorry for being so cranky. It’s quite disturbing, huh?
Maria: (shakes her head) No, not too much. After all, you’re my brother, my ONLY brother, in fact, and I love you soo much. You’ll be just fine, big bro. Now, lemme go, I wanna visit the restroom.

She then run to the restroom, shutting the door behind her. Samson, noticing he was alone, started to reminisce the memory that conjured his daily nightmares. As he was doing so, tears fell from his eyes, streaming down his cheeks like a river. He soon broke down into tears, unable to handle the emotional impact of what happened ‘that day’. The breakdown, however, didn’t last long and he sullenly dressed up for school. He took Maria to her school before going to his. He always did it as a means of ‘precaution’ for his lil sis. Anyway, when he reached his school, Silver Star High, he drew a deep breath and walked to the entrance. As soon as he entered, a great hush fell on the students nearby. I promise you, you could hear a pin DROP. This hush, however, didn’t last long as it was broken by the screams of multitudes of girls rushing toward him.
The girls: Ahh…Samson!! (swarming him) Do you wanna go for dinner toni…Do you wanna drink with me…Do you wanna fu…Do you love me…(overlapping)
Samson: Ladies, ladies, relax. You know what, let’s do something. (holds up his right hand for attention and points the index finger toward himself) Look closely. (He closes his eyes, takes four deep breathes and opens his eyes) Now, you all do the same thing. Relax…let’s go.

The girls all did this and by the time they opened their eyes, Samson had run away. They all heaved sighs of disappointment and sluggishly walked back to their classrooms.
PAUSE.
You may ask, what DOES this guy have to entice so many ladies like that? Well, imma list a few qualities:
i.My guy Samson, according to speculation, had not only six packs but EIGHT. (Again, according to speculation) How did the ladies know? You see, during volleyball practise, whenever he jumped (which was quite often, cause you know, its volleyball), his jersey would fly up as well, revealing his chest and stomach area. (People collapsed due to this)
ii.He was freakishly, crazily...unimaginably handsome! His jawline, his face, eyebrows, his lips…. ahh... indeed, God’s creation sure are beautiful.
iii.Hair and eyes of his were of the colour silver, accentuating his looks. He also had a deep voice.
iv.And, he was basically good at everything. GET IT NOW? Ok,
REPLAY.
Samson run to the back of the classroom blocks, gasping for air. After his breathing stabilized, he jogged towards the sports field and locker rooms for practise. He was met with pats and cheers from the other sports boys, after all, he was their star player. Among the cajoling boys, he was able to spot his two best friends, Dante and Carter.
Samson: Yo, Dante! Carter! Over here! Hola! (Hello!)
The two boys turned to him and smirked. Samson ran over to them and oh my gosh…. these three boys standing together looked finee! You know, these three amigos(friends) were called The Hot Trinity or simply THT. Anyway, these three were lost in conversation when a girl bumped hard into Samson’s shoulder. She briefly looked up at him and his eyes widened in surprise.
Girl: Sorry, so sorry.
Samson: Oh no, its fine. But hey, what’s your…
13Please respect copyright.PENANAGbK1QKrD8B
He didn’t even finish his sentence when the girl walked briskly outta there! Rude, right? You may think he’ll be angry, right? But noo, my bro was just chuckling. Dante and Carter looked at him with surprise.
Dante: (clicks his fingers twice) Quieres la nina?
(Do you like the girl?) What’s going on?
Carter: Dude, I tell you this guy’s crazy. All the hot, fine, ‘smart’ girls swarm him but then he goes off liking dorks instead. (To Dante)
Samson: Guys, guys, look, she’s not a dork. Besides, she doesn’t even look half bad!
Carter: I know she may look H-O-T, but she’s not P-O-P-U-L-A-R. Not your class.
Dante: And besides, are you crazy? How could you have known her enough to like her? She’s only been here for a week! No sabes ella! (You don’t know her!)
Samson: Look, mind your business, ok Dante? I’ll be just fine without your advice.
Dante: Aight man, just don’t want what happened with Tina last semester…she was different too.
Samson: Stop that! Stop using her…mentioning her name even! She was a snake under grass, I just didn’t notice…
Carter: Exactly. Why’re you so stupid, bro? Sam, look, you don’t know her. You at least knew Tina before dating her and that bull happened with…the other guy. But you don’t know this one at all, so how do you know she’s different? Wisen up, bro.
Samson: You two, if you won’t support me, should just piss off. (turns and leaves, slamming the door behind him)
Dante: Who should go talk to him? (looks at Carter)
Carter: I went the last time, so don’t look at me. I’m even tired of his antics.
Dante: Relax, hm? Have patience. (pats Carter on the back) You know he has it hard. (sighs) I’ll be going then, to parley with him. See you. (also leaves, closing the locker door behind him, causing a slight uproar among some sports boys)
Carter: (sits down and continues changing) Samson, may God help your soul.
LIKE AND COMMENT FOR CHAPTER TWO!
P.S. Sorry if the chapter is a bit long.
