The Proposal

Is it possible for something, that you hold so much hatred for, make u hate it even more? You think it has filled your capacity to hate to the brim that you couldn't possibly hate it any more, but yet, u discover u can. For most people, it is a particular person that u abhor so much. But for Hans Basil, it wasn't a person, and not even something tangible. The unfortunate victim of his fury and hatred was Accounts.


Having spent his last two days trying to comprehend complicated Accounting concepts and formulae, Hans went into the classroom confident that all the words were still fresh in his mind. Luckily for him, the words were fresh, and he was able to put pen to paper. Not so lucky though, were the careless mistakes that had been dogging him since the past few tests. While the careless errors may have been insignificant and immaterial to the final marks in the past, this one could prove costly- an accumulation of 33% could be lost at a snap of his fingers. Or in Hans' case, the fingers of the marker.


It seems like Hans' and Sue Anne's friendship was in for a roller coaster ride. While the pair had to endure countless questions being thrown at them for the nature of their relationship, none of them anticipated the fight that would take place just before lunch. A simple invitation from Hans was flatly turned down, a first, by Sue. Stunned, Hans stormed off. And as if that wasn't bad enough, guess who Hans spotted at the college side gate preparing to depart for lunch? That's right. Sue. Controlling the shock and anger, Hans looked away and ignored her, but somehow managed to notice the subtle eye contact between her, and Sunway University College's resident hunk, Dan Wise, who was also present in the scene. Now was there something going on between Sue and Dan? What about Hans? Could things get any weirder than they already were?


Sanya Dival and Angie Flo displayed the typical best friend persona in college-eating together, slacking together, studying together, and their frequent chat in the ladies. Yes, besties who did everything together, including backing each other up in their quest to manipulate and convince others to have their way. Jay Dic and Hans were the lucky victims of their persuasive talk. In Jay's case, he was unlucky, for he soon experienced the eccentric driving skills of Thomas Gean, a friend of Sanya and Angie. After that incident left Jay so shaken, he swore never to drive ever again. Who knows, that may be good thing. And perhaps Angie should follow suit. After all, she may have been lucky no one witnessed her little "accident" involving Sanya's car. But you never know Angie. What human eyes fail to see, mechanical eyes can.


And it seems that finally Hans and Sanya have managed to come to a conlusion over their complicated ties, but not before Hans brought up a proposal so shocking it derided Sanya's and his morality. Just what was the proposal? Friends with benefits. Yes, three words that make every vestige of emotion replete with pleasure without strings attached. Fun? Yes. Cheap? Also yes. It seems Sanya's feelings for Hans were too great to ignore, and she immediately agreed. Her impulse caused Hans to display shock, but beneath that facial expression, he was almost all too pleased. But senses soon gripped Sanya who texted Hans, informing him she could not agree to the terms, resulting in temporary numbness to Hans. Maybe he ought to learn there's no such thing as free pleasure without responsibilities.
