11.3 Drugs and Death

Enzo is a tan college kid. His hair is done into dredlocks and is tied by a string to make it look like a ponytail. He's in class. His professor just gave a quiz. He made sure he sat next to the pretty smart girl in hopes that he'd be able to cheat off of her. He sneaked a peek at her answers and he copied it. After, he decided to talk to the girl.

"Picturan mo yung quiz para magamit natin when we review," He said with a smile.

"Meron na. Meron din akong picture nung mga dating quiz," She said coldly.

"Ayun sakto, send mo na lang sa akin sa Facebook."

"Di tayo friends sa Facebook..."

"Add mo na lang ako," He said smoothly. The girl handed him her iPhone. He typed his name in and sent a friend request. He brought his iPhone out and accepted her friend request.

"Jill pala pangalan mo," He said. She didn't say anything in return. He wants this girl to notice him so he tries to make her smile by using one of his pick-up lines. Good thing he smoked a j before coming to class which made his eyes red.

"Namumula ba mata ko?" Jill turned towards him and squinted to look at his eyes.

"Oo! May sore eyes ka ata!"

"Wag mo na tingnan mata ko, baka ma in love ka lang." Enzo laughed, and so did Jill. She had a beautiful smile.

After class, Enzo headed towards Ministop to smoke a cigarette. He receives a call from this guy named Mike. Mike is a middle man in this drug business. Enzo is a low dealer.

"What's up?" Enzo said.

"Di ka pa nagbabayad ng utang mo. Subukan mo lang akong takasan. Pag di ka pumunta sa bahay ko mamaya at bayaran yung utang mo, papatayin kita."

Enzo hung up. He checked his pockets if he had any cash but unfortunately he came up empty handed. He tried to deal marijuana to some of his friends. He eventually came up with the money. He was about to leave school when a man in a cheap barong stopped him in his tracks.

"Sumama po kayo sa akin," the guy said.

"Wala akong ginagawang masama."

The guy led him to the disciplinary office. They found some marijuana joints in his bag. They came to a conclusion to expel him from the university. He didn't give a damn. He thought he can just live off dealing drugs. Anyway, he was making more money than he expected.

He left the disciplinary office and bumped into Jill. Jill asks him why he was in the disciplinary office. He told her the truth. She looked so turned off and disgusted when she found out and didn't even bother to console him. She walked away without saying anything.

He figured, it wasn't a loss. There were plenty of other girls, he thought. He exited the campus and got in his car to drive to Mike's house. He parked a block from Mike's condominium. He walked towards the big building straight ahead but he was stopped again in his tracks. Someone was trying to get his money. The man brought out a knife and attempted to strike Enzo with it. Enzo eventually gave up his money. He'll just tell Mike that he got robbed.

Mike's unit looked like a bachelor's pad. Enzo figured that if he could step up and be in the same position as Mike. He wouldn't mind living lavishly like Mike. He tried to explain to Mike what had just happened. Mike wouldn't believe him.

"Alam mo, Enzo, may mararating ka sana eh. Yayaman ka rin dapat katulad ko kasi mas ginusto mo akong lokohin."

"Mike, hindi kita niloloko. I already had the money. I got expelled dealing in school. Then I got robbed. Totoo tong sinasabi ko."

Mike didn't believe him. Mike walked towards his bedside table and pulled out a gun.

"Sorry, Enzo."
