RUNNING OUT OF TIME " That is enough." I heard Mr. Brandon's voice right behind us. I looked back and was shocked. Did he also know this was going to happen? Where the hell was he when I was being beaten?" You need to leave now? I don't know who you are but get out of here this instance." Mr. Black shouted at Thomas " Did you know he was being bullied? He was nearly killed right here on this spot and all you could say is tell me to leave?" Thomas said with an emotion that showed he was a victim I took hold of his hands and dragged them " Let's go." I wasn't sure what to call him. I would have called him "BOSS" but I have started my training session yet " What were you expecting me to say huh? Put that fucking camera away!." Mr Black shouted at the students and they all removed the camera from his face"Knocking out a bunch of teenagers wouldn't make you feel good. Just tea Fredrick and leave." He said with his hands on his waist " I see you have changed one bit. You need to scho

A NEW SET OF POWERS I was shocked to see Xavier. " You frequent here too?" I asked with disbelief " Of course I do. I and Thomas go way back." Xavier replied greeting Thomas. I watched as both of them made some hand gestures " Looks like things are working quite in my favor. " I said immediately I was done transferring Thomas's fee." Hey, Xavier. What do you think about being my guard on the campus?" I asked Xavier who was having a change of clothes looked at me " Why would I be caught up in your shit? This ain't my fight." He said getting himself ready for some exercise " C'mon, dude. He needs four help." Rosetta added " Oh yeah. Why should I risk my neck to help him? Do you even know who Jonas is? He could make you disappear with just the snap of his fingers[WhOOSH]Xavier made some signs with his fingers. " With you by my side, I am sure I have got a chance," I replied waking closer to the built guy " I might be a brute but that doesn't mean I don't have standards. I just

THE GAMING EVENT Everyone was surprised to see Rosetta kiss me. She had never kissed any guy on the university grounds and here she was kissing a fresher. She saw me blushed and smiled. " You need to make her feel she isn't worth it. And you need to stop mobbing like a child." She said silently into my ears. Xavier laughed, " You think that is funny big man?" I said with my face turning red " I wasn't mobbing." I managed to reply as I walked beside her " And was that your first kiss? I could see your face could light up the university ground." She asked looking at me and my face turned red again " Ah! You are doing it again." She said with a smile " Do you need some cash?" I asked looking at her, she was damn so good at what I contracted her for. I just felt like giving her more money to say I was grateful" you gave me the money we bargained for and remember our deal only lasts for some months?" She said in my ears "I know but..." I was about to finish my words when I looked up

I had thought Davina was in my front to beg for my mercy but instead, she smirked: " I don't know how you come back that so much wealth but it had better been real because I will stop at nothing to see you hit the bottom rock." She said with so much vermin in her voice "Then you will be waiting for a long time. Besides, I wondered how long Jonas is going to keep you. He doesn't love you and you are just another woman who will warm his bed for some time before he leaves you for someone better." I said back at her trying to hurt her feelings [ SLAP] " You know nothing about Jonas. He loves me and I love him too. I wish he had you killed just like he killed Richard." She blurted out angrily My heart raced a bit. " Did I just hear her correctly? Or I am just assuming things?" I soliloquy " What did you just say?" I asked trying to make her request herself I knew Jonas and Zack had Richard killed but I have been so busy trying to save myself that I didn't remember anything about him

UNSETTLED FEELINGS Rosetta entered my room and fainted. I quickly put on a shirt and closed the door. I laid her on my bed and waited for her to gain consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at me. She called my name gently and I looked at her " I am here." I said gently looking at her face " Is that you, Frederick?" She asked still shaken up by what she had seen earlier I nodded and said nothing. I was still battling with the system upgrades and the body changes. " What happened to your body? I could have sworn, I saw some ink and something that glowed on your chest. Are you in pain?" Rosetta asked sitting up to catch a good view of my face I didn't know where to begin the story or what to tell her. " You just need to calm down. I am fine, it is just a gaming thing to help me with my Karate training." I lied " I thought, Thomas got you someone already? Does that help?" She asked running her hand through my broad chest. I looked at her and I could feel her breath on
