After the lecture gets over students rush towards the cafeteria. Liam was also there. As they all meet up again, they start to talk about the incident that happened earlier in the morning.

A boy sitting beside Liam says to him- “The professor seemed to be angry earlier when you stormed out of class”

A girl sitting parallel to Liam questions him with a curious tone – “Yeah, right, why did you react like that Liam?”

Liam who was now a little calmer reply – “I don’t know, I don’t like that professor at all. He sounds like some thug.”

Ethan a new yet familiar face to Liam arrives at the table where Liam and others are sitting – “Hi Liam. I heard from some guys you caused a scene earlier in class.”

A sudden smile appears on Liam's face, and he shakes hands with the boy who just arrived. Then he continues to introduce his friend to others – “Hi Ethan. Oh, I see the news has already spread so far. It’s nothing, by the way how are you? Guys meet Ethan, he is my first and only friend from the Philippines.”

After the chit chat with a friend in the cafeteria, Liam and Ethan move towards the lecture hall where his other class was going to happen.

Liam looks outside from the window as he walks through the hallway. The sun is shining so brightly, but the gentle breeze is making it tolerable.

Ethan teasingly asks Liam – “Hey Liam, you didn’t tell me what happened in your morning lecture.”

Liam answers uninterestingly – “Oh, it was nothing, a Maniac professor who feels like a thug humiliated me in front of the whole class.”

As light passed through the hallway Alex came from front. Alex didn’t seem to notice Liam and cross him without sparing a glance. But as they cross each other their shoulders brush off gently. Liam turns back to look at Alex, but he is gone.

Liam scaredly asks Ethan – “What the heck? Did he listen?”

Liam rotates the pen which was in his right hand. He didn’t even look at me, what he thought he was? He is different but something about him is off. Never mind he is not likable either way.

Ethan looks surprised and again playfully asks – “Is he the one you were talking about?”

Liam becomes shocked at Ethan’s fast instincts and replies – “How did you find out? But Professor seems cold so it's natural you figured it out.”

Ethan continued to laugh and answered him – “No, I found out from your disgusted face expression. I see you really don’t like him.”

As the college ends everyone heads towards their destinations. After reaching home from a long and tired day Liam lies down on his bed. As he threw his bag across the room, he once again remembers the incident. Which makes him angry again.

Liam screams and says out loud – “Today was not my day. In the morning I met that thug and, in the afternoon, I forgot my history book in my locker. I feel so frustrated. It can’t get any worse than this.”

Liam turns to his side in bed. The intense air around him makes me feel suffocating. Those Black eyes are ……. Ahh, I don’t want to think about such things. It’s better to refresh my mind. 

Liam calls Ethan.

Liam – “Hey, Ethan. Man, can you tell me about nice bars in the area?”

Ethan answers excitedly – “Yeah, of course. There is a small, new, cheap and good bar about half an hour away from your house. I will share the location; you can go there. You want me to come?”

Liam feels relieved and says – “Thanks man. There is no need for that I will explore by myself.”

Liam reminisces about the time he moved to a new country. He thinks about the one opportunity he got to change his past self.

“When I first moved from Italy I had so many doubts and questions regarding my decision. My past which is heinous and can not be talked about, the best choice I had at that time was to move to a new country. And the Philippines was the perfect choice as it has always been my dream country too. Here in Vigan city, I got to enter into a prestigious university and to find my accommodation I settled with a low-rate apartment. I haven’t explored the city and I’m taking help from Ethan in such times.  And after a long time, I’m about to witness the night life of this beautiful city.”

Liam goes to get a bus. At the bus stop while waiting for the bus Liam catches a glimpse of a suspicious man who appears to be a thief. He steals a bag from a lady standing on the opposite side of the road. Liam ran after the thief who fled from the scene. After chasing a man across different streets, he lost sight of the thief and he himself got lost.

Liam pantingly screams – “Fuck where I’m at?”

“I don’t even know which place this is. What a day?”

“What I will do now. Why everything is so fucked up today.”

As Liam was about to break down in fear, he saw a person coming from the other side. He picks himself together and was about to ask for help but as the person came close to him, he saw it was no other than his professor Alex. Liam again feels frustrated.

Alex did not seem to notice Liam who was in grey hood with white tee and baggy jorts. Alex again passes by Liam without looking at his direction. This makes Liam angrier and he pulls Alex by his shirt and due to a sudden turn Alex, who was wearing a black cap with white shirt and jeans suddenly stops. Because of a sudden turn his cap flew across and dropped on the road.

Alex finally looks into Liam’s green, emerald eyes and pulls him closer by his collar. He continues to look into Liam’s eyes which were filled with anger, frustration and a little bit of tears because of fear. Alex recognises Liam and loosens his grip.

Meanwhile, Liam gets startled by Alex’s strong grip which makes him feel a little bit scared. But he pulls together every bit of courage and looks at Alex with anger. Alex looks for his cap and takes it from the road. 

Liam with a disgusted expression asks Alex – “Professor, where are you heading without even looking at someone who is in need of help?”

Alex wipes off dirt from his cap and looks at Liam – “How would I know you need help? I’m a professor not a Psychic.”

Liam now has reached his limits and angrily says – “That’s what I’m talking about. You need to look around your surroundings for such enlightenment sir.”

Alex looks surprised at such a rude response, but he chuckles and says – “Oh, seriously, thanks for your advice I will follow it.”

Liam thinks there is no use in fighting with such a maniac and asks nicely – “Professor, can you tell me what place this is?”

Alex did not get the change in Liam tone and answers – “This is Street-18. I have helped you now. You should get going, this place is not safe.”

Liam turns away from Alex – “Thank you so much. Professor. I won’t be able to forget your kindness.”

Liam then starts to look for a taxi to reach his destination. Alex seems a bit provoked by the arrogance of Liam and suddenly asks Liam.

Alex slowly walks towards Liam – “One moment what was your name again?”

Liam replies without looking at Alex – “It's Liam.

Alex suddenly came closer to Liam and whispered in his left ear.

Alex smirks – “Liam don’t play with fire. Mark my words”

After hearing this as Liam turns back to look at Alex, he disappears on the corner of the street. Liam left in shock and seemed to be static in his place. Suddenly he sees a dark figure going in the same direction as the Professor.
