Jed gave a short nod and rested against the window, closing his eyes. Although his head stopped bleeding and the wounds were beginning to heal, he would have migraines every now and then.'But this road wasn't this jammed when we passed earlier,' he thought confusedly, wondering what caused the traffic.The driver quickly came back inside. "Sir, the situation is dire and I guess we are going to be stuck here for a while as the throng has completely blocked the road."Jed sat up and peered forward. That was when he realized most of the doors of the cars in front were open and people were outside pointing at whatever was going on."What's wrong? What's happening?" He questioned; his curiosity was piqued. Did an accident occur?"I overheard the crowd's conversation. A young lady is hanging by the edge of the bridge. She wants to commit suicide," The driver sighed. "This doesn't happen frequently but when it does... It's often difficult to resolve it and now that the road is jammed, I wo

"Sir, where did you go? I was beginning to get worried," The driver asked as Jed got into the car. The traffic had already eased so the car moved forward."It's fine."Not noticing Jed's expression, the driver continued,"I heard someone risked his life to save the lady. He must have a heart the size of the world to do something as dangerous as that.""Hmm," Jed gave a short reply. He didn't want to face the young driver right now as he was currently tired.The driver noticed this because he didn't say another word till they got to the house.As the driver got down to remove Jed's luggage, he tried not to drool at the beauty of the house. He even gave Jed a quick discerning glance. This passenger looks like he is just a few years younger than him but he already owns a majestic house like this? One really couldn't compare.Jed was amused by his thoughts but didn't comment. The only thing he did was to give him a generous tip."Sir..." The driver stuttered when he received the notificat

"Yeah! And no one got below 300 marks in the class. You should honor the bet!" One of the elites' students that Jed didn't recognize said. "You made the bet in front of so many students. You lost and can't back out now," Another added like they were afraid he would try to deny the bet.Cullen finally stepped out. "In front of everyone, you said you were going to disappear from the entire society and apologize to us. I hope little brother isn't planning to go back on his words now."There was a righteous look on his face like he wasn't spouting out unjust words.Mrs Smith was puzzled at the sudden turn of events. She was just praising this boy and now this happened?Aren't these two supposed to be brothers? Why does it feel like Cullen harbors a strong resentment towards Jed then?"Don't forget. You agreed to the bet yourself. No one forced you so you should honor your words," Jane spoke, standing beside Cullen.Jed sneered; they were really a match made in heaven. A callous boy and a

But then, the screen displayed [404 error] indicating the website crashed. Jed returned the phone to Ben and decided he was going to open a Thread account later.Ever since he got the new mobile phone, he hasn't done anything with it aside from calling and receiving text messages.He looked up just in time to see Cullen trying to escape from the room. With narrowed eyes, he remarked,"I didn't know my elder brother was a sore loser."This caused everyone's attention to be on Cullen. When they realized what he was going to do, their faces, especially the elites' students, were ashen.Was he trying to leave them and escape? Who got them into this mess in the first place? If he hadn't proposed that challenge, would this happen?Jed shook his head when he heard what they were thinking. Oh, how quickly people change sides.At first, they were supporting Cullen and now that the table has turned around, they were against him."What do you mean?" Cullen's expression wasn't good. His fists were

Just as he was about to read their comments, the principal said,"Let's go. The press must be waiting." Initially, they were to have the interview with the exam registrars, the press and his father.But since the parent isn't here. He would just make up some excuse. Jed didn't react to the principal's thoughts. He simply kept the phone and followed him out. When they got into a fairly used sedan, Jed brought out the phone again to check out the comments.[This year has really produced a lot of young, promising talents in Philadelphia. We'll be anticipating seeing your faces next semester] Elite Academy's comment was pinned so a lot of people were already commenting under it.Jed realized the other colleges whose names he didn't recognize also commented. He directly skipped and went to STEM'S comment first. [Thank you. I'll try my best not to let you down.]His response caused an uproar. The little fan base he had gotten dropped comments one after the other.[@lonely fish, our little
