Is this a love story?

Nicholas Keith C. (Calvente) Mandalo

A 16 year old teen who likes to do everything by his own will without caring about the people around him. He lives in the city of Pasig in Metro Manila, currently in 10th grade but barely cares about his academics.

He woke up today, took a bath and wore his signature black outfit. Black skinny jeans, black shirt, black cap, and his black leather jacket. His closet is basically just anything that's black from his shirt to his accessories, everything's black. The only thing that's light is his school uniform that he rarely wears even to school, that's why he always gets a slip from the principal because of not following the school's protocols and no doubt he'll get one today too, the principal and the teachers basically got tired of him, they got used to it. He can't help it, he hates the design of their school uniform so he prefers not to wear it.

Don't get him wrong, he actually goes to school, at the very least. He's present most of the time and even knows some of the lessons, and with some I meant he knew at least 1 lesson discussed from 1 subject all throughout the whole 1st quarter.

The moment he stepped in the campus he was already bored. He went in his classroom and sat on his seat, he doesn't bother greeting anyone at all, and from this, I'm sure one can tell that he doesn't like interacting with people.

As the teacher is discussing in front, the boy is currently fighting the urge to sleep, see? he can be respectful too, sometimes.

Anyways, he may not be asleep but that doesn't mean he's listening to the discussion. His mind is floating somewhere else and just then, he remembered something, making him smirk with the thought of it.

...and here he is, now running away from the group of well built men chasing him. He's used to this, it's his nature being chased for his reckless and rebellious actions. He's been chased for stealing, fighting, vandalism, almost every rebellious things an individual can do, you name it. This time however, he is being chased for trespassing.

This boy has trespassed many other places but this time it's different, he got the guts to trespass the very own house of the city mayor.

To explain further, he has actually been planning on talking to him in the most proper way but every time he tried to be formal and respectful, none of the mayor's staff would let him talk to the mayor. He tried sending emails (a request with only 30 words in it), and even went to the city hall telling the people involved with the mayor about his request to talk to the mayor personally, but again, none is there to lend him an ear. Well to be fair, he does has this way of talking where he sounds like he's not serious about the words he is saying, add the fact that he says things in a straightforward manner, he tries to be polite but still, none of that worked because for them, he's just another child who either wants to just open up random topics with the mayor or just a mere child who wants money for provision, the staff believe that the mayor has no time for such nonsense conversation with a teen like him.

But one thing about Nicholas is he is one impatient and impulsive boy.

He tends to do things without taking time to think if it is wrong or right to do so and his impatient ass led him to being chased by the guards of the city mayor.

Was he scared? no.

Did he ever got the chance to tell the mayor what he has been trying to tell him? maybe.

But did he utter some words that triggered the mayor? yes.

answers the question as to why the mayor called the guards on him.
