"There seem to be some challenges with the result so give us a moment to get to the bottom of it," Dr. Willstrum said to the students then turned off his microphone and gathered with the other officials.Even the camera operators took the initiative to stop filming the podium and start videoing the students seated all around the Arena Hall.They were giving the officials the privacy they needed to come to a resolution before the award ceremony continues."How do we settle this situation?" The Vice-Chancellor asked the gathering of officials which also included Mr. Rose Dana and they started to discuss it.Meanwhile, the three winners of the raffle were having their own conversation."Who would have thought that three people would win the same prize, talk less of the fact that out of the thousands who participated it ended up being the three of us. Is this what they call fate?" Jack said then chuckled.Bradly who had his arms crossed, looked at his cousin and then at Johnathan and saw

Everything finally came to an end and everyone started leaving the Arena Hall. As the winners, Johnathan and Jack were still standing on the podium until the end but Jack was the first between the two to exit when everything was over, while Johnathan remained because he wanted to talk to Mr. Rose Dana. The officials left before Jack which means that only Johnathan, Mr. Rose Dana, and his security team were left on the podium. The two of them went closer to the chairs which the officials had sat on and when Johnathan glanced at the students who were all walking towards the exit, he realized that the looks they gave him were different. He was being given the looks he’s noticed Bradly and the other rich kids in Wellstone get. Same one everyone who knows that he’s the owner of the Bugatti gives him. Because of Mr. Rose Dana “adopting” him into his family, Johnathan was now, to public knowledge, one of the richest students in Wellstone and the students' demeanor towards him had changed

Johnathan walked up to Bret who had the entire crowd of neighbors behind him and from the looks of things he was acting as their spokesperson.“So— Umm— sorry but what did you say your name was again?” Johnathan asked.“It’s Bret, try and remember it next time will you buddy,” Bret said and Johnathan crossed his arms.“Okay, Bret and crowd, let’s go straight to the topic. My roommate said you guys are here to congratulate me on winning the apartment. That’s what you said before forcing your way into our room so is what I just said correct or is there more here?” Johnathan asked then looked at all of them.With a smirk, Bret said “Well, saying force our way in here is a very strong word don’t you think? I personally wouldn’t use that. We were more in the line of persuaded our way in here. Yeah, persuaded, that’s the right word.” Bret looked at the others behind him to corroborate his choice of words and they all smiled and nodded in agreement, letting him know they were all on the sam

Outside what used to be their former room but is not anymore, Johnathan and George took their first steps to leave the floor. However, both of them moved in opposite directions of each other but the moment they realized what was going on, they stopped.“What are you doing, Johnathan? The elevator is that way” George said, using his thumb to point at the elevator from over his shoulder and Johnathan looked at him with a grimace.“Did you forget the day I moved in here and I told you that any time we’re leaving together then it would have to be separate routes until we converge downstairs,” Johnathan said and George looked at his roommate’s two briefcases.“So you’re seriously going to carry those things down the flight of stairs when there’s an elevator right there that’s free? Can’t you just suck it up for ten seconds? There’s a reason it’s here and that’s to help save time which should be important seeing how you’re the one who says we have to get to the apartment before it gets too

As George was standing there, amazed by how beautiful the interior of the apartment looked, Johnathan on the other hand was more casual with it. He has already been in and seen places far more impressive and so a single look was enough for him.“Come, George, let’s—“ Johnathan said but was cut off mid-sentence.“Beautiful isn’t it?” Suddenly, Jack appeared out of nowhere and said to both of them. Caught off guard by Jack’s voice, the two of them hurriedly swept their heads to him and when they saw him casually walking towards them from God knows where they noticed that in his hand was a glass and a bottle of red wine.“Look who’s here, if it isn’t my favorite roommate in the whole world. Tell me, Johnathan, what took you so long? I was starting to get lonely without you” Jack said jokingly as he sat on the expensive leather couch and turned on the TV.The Tv was muted when it came on which only means that Jack was watching it before but had left for a moment to go do something and is
