****A month later.Each day I was getting more and more adjusted to school life.Since the first day I’d been attending classes, I’d made sure to maintain a perfect attendance, never missing a single lecture.Logan had been handling business all this while, so I had nothing to worry about and I was sure that my company was in safe hands.I’d been more focused on my priorities now.Basketball practice, I’d never missed a single day of practice, and I was certainly starting to reap the benefits of it.I’d become so good at the sport in such a short time, that I’d become the team's ace, playing in the small forward position.An inter university competition would be commencing soon, and so the intensity of our practice had increased.But no matter how much I’d practiced, I made sure it never affected me reading or going to the gym.I never missed a day of working out, sometimes I would be so easily that I would turn on the lights at the gym, other times I would be the one to turn off the

The building turned out to be way larger than I expected and I found myself wandering about, lost in thought.I kept on wandering till I ended up at the bar of the hotel, I found an empty seat and sat down.The bartender came up to me and spoke to me.“What can I get you sir?”“Just water is fine,” I said and she nodded.I didn’t see the point in drinking alcohol anymore, since I would just get detoxified by the system.She soon came back with a glass of water in her hand, and she filled it up with some ice cubes as she handed them to me.“Rough day huh?” She asked me.“You can only imagine,” I responded and she nodded.We engaged in some small talk before she left to attend to some other customers, and I finished my glass of water and left.It was night time, and I decided to go outside and look at the stars, something I wouldn’t normally do, but since I was bored out of my mind I decided to try it.I found somewhere to sit and enjoyed the view.The night sky was illuminated by the m

I was in a state of shock, I couldn’t believe my eyes.‘After all this time, why now?’ I thought to myself.I breathed out loudly, and calmed myself down.It was nice to see her and all, but the bus would be leaving soon, and I didn’t want to miss it.She was standing there with her mom, and another man which I knew would be her dad.I finally walked up to them and spoke.“Good day Mr and Mrs Higgins,” I said.Her mother looked away from me, and her father simply nodded his head.“I’m sorry Stephanie, but I have to leave now. I’ll be sure to contact you,” I said and turned to leave.As I walked away, I heaved a large sigh of relief.The situation went way better than I expected, and I was just happy that I was able to find an easy way out.I wondered what she was doing at the hotel with her family.The school had declared that week a lecture free one, because of the internship program.So she probably decided to head home and spend time with her family.Seeing her brought a lot of mem

The rules of this challenge are very simple. Each team will be required to sit at a desk and turn on the computers placed in front of them. Some questions will be displayed about real life office scenarios, and business transactions. You and your partner will have to think strategically and logically as to how to approach these questions, and provide viable answers to them. Each question will have a time limit of one minute for you to provide the answer, failure to comply with this will result in your forfeiting that question. Once again, we wish you the best of luck, now everyone please move to your desks immediately.These were the instructions displayed on the screen for the first challenge.Everyone began to occupy various desks in the office alongside their partners, in an orderly fashion.The revelation of what was at stake seemed to put everyone in serious mode, barely anyone said anything, and the room was practically quiet apart from the sound of students moving about.“Okay
