The S #1 Hindi ako santa. I'm not nice on a daily basis. I've done things that conservatives and prudes will frown upon. I've got vices and guilty pleasures. I've done things that good and obedient students wouldn't. I've done the worse thing that you could do to a friend. Yeah, people will say I'm bad, but I don't care though. I'm every bad thing... And he's the complete opposite of me. He's an achiever, he's nice and patient, he's prim and proper, he's all things that are good. Me? I'm bad for him. I will only drag him down. That's what they say.... But will I care this time, though?

deceret (n.) latin word for "body to body" When Philodemus Elton Treveron's parents were slayed, the only thing that brings him closer to finding the killer is the gold crucifix chain around his neck.

Cliché? Yun yung good girl meets her prince charming, they both fall in love, the antagonist comes along, here comes the up rise, problem solved then insert the happy ending with matching confetti and balloons. Kung hindi happy ang ending? Then wait for the epilogue. Kaumay! Yung mabait laging bida, yung nagpapaawa ang laging pinapanigan at si good girl at prince charming lagi ang nagkakatuluyan. Pero paano kung maging bida ang isang kontrabida? Maxwell is mean but she's willing to be extra mean just to get the guy of her dreams. It had always been Grant for her since she was seven. No matter how many times she cry, no matter how many times she get hurt, and no matter how many times she get beaten down because of Grant-she'll never get tired of loving him. She'll chase him till the ends of the earth. And if someone gets in her way? Simple, she''ll have them taste her hell. Or they could taste Rush's, Grant's cousin, who's also willing to do every mean things for her. Mean 1 of 2.

Sometimes, you do crazy things for the one you love. No matter how mean or absurd it is, gagawin mo pa rin. Kahit na magmukha kang masama. Kahit na sabihin nilang madamot ka. Kahit na alam mong mali. Ika nga nila: "All is fair in love and war." It has no bounds. No rules. So fuck everything, right? Just when Maxwell finally realizes her true feelings for Rush, that's the time when he chooses to leave. No texts. No calls. No goodbye. Not even a single word from him. He just... disappeared. For three years, Grant never left her side-hoping Maxwell will love him again like before. Everything was smoothly sailing until the said devil decided to come back. Mean 2 of 2.
