After Alexander finished fueling his tank with gas and returned the nozzle to the machine, he threw the ticket on the ground and got into the car.He called out the system, asking it for the route to Scholar Academy.[As Mr. Alexander Curry wishes][Downloading the route to Scholar Academy into Mr. Alexander Curry’s mind][Progress: 1%… 10%… 17%… 29%… 53%… 71%… 80%… 92%… 100%][Download complete]“Got it,” Alexander said and the messages from the system vanished.He ignited the engine and then revved it a little bit, forcing more fuel to be absorbed because the tank had been on the edge of going dry when he drove into the gas station.The hand on the fuel gauge went from the red to green within seconds and it put a smirk on the young multimillionaire’s face.The lack of fuel was why Alexander didn’t choose to go to a different gas station when the system told him about the bad customer service reviews it found online about The Ocean gas station.He wasn’t sure he had enough fuel to ge
Scholar Academy was a school surrounded by a gated fence. The fence was built from bricks and the gate was a massive black cast iron ninety-degree inward swing gate that prevented any form of unauthorized access into the school.Unauthorized access also included visual access.This meant that it was more of a metallic door than anything else and there was no space, minus the joints where the edge of the gate and fence met, for someone to see inside the school.The gate was also tens of meters away from the school building and Alexander parked in front of it and honked his horn.If the gatekeeper wasn’t aware of his awareness before, he surely was now.A couple of seconds later and Alexander heard the personnel part of the gate, which is the side meant for people to walk through, get unlocked, and then he saw the gatekeeper come out.The gatekeeper paused momentarily, surprised by the sight of the Lamborghini parked in front of the gate and his surprise was warranted because that type
Alexander rolled down the passenger door window.“Excuse me!” Alexander called out and managed to grab the the gatekeeper’s attention.“Huh?” The gatekeeper hunched a little and looked at Alexander through the passenger window“Can you come closer for a moment?” Alexander gestured with one hand while the other was inside his suit’s inner pocket.The gatekeeper stood up and looked left and right with a confused expression.“I’m talking to you and no one else so please come here for a moment” Alexander said and the gatekeeper grimaced at him.He sluggishly walked up to the open passenger door window and lowered himself to be face to face with Alexander.“Yes?” The gatekeeper asked, obviously annoyed by how his interaction with Alexander had gone.“I like to apologize for how I spoke to you earlier. My behavior towards you wasn’t appropriate for someone who was just trying to do his job” Alexander said and the gatekeeper’s eyes widened.He couldn’t believe that someone like Alexander who
The jaws of all the girls in the classroom got close to dropping after hearing what Corner said. Though not yet confirmed— albeit being very obvious— everyone, most especially the girls, started looking at Blessing in a different light from what they used to. Most were impressed and happy for the girl while a small number became jealous, wishing that they were the ones in Blessing’s place.Yes, the girl was beautiful in her own way, but she wasn’t the most attractive girl in the class. She also had a tomboyish flare to her which concealed her true beauty, so the jealous girls couldn’t understand why someone of Alexander’s caliber was interested in someone like her.Their lack of understanding which stemmed from a misconception turned their jealousy into contempt and hatred.Just then, Blessing began to hear murmurs coming from the group of self-proclaimed classroom’s hottest girls, and looking at how their behavior had changed from ignoring her to now sneaking glances at her, she co
Blessing quickly faced the window and stood up like she did before. She saw that Alexander was leaning on his car and gesturing at her, asking what was she doing and that the time was running out.Everyone in the classroom who had looked outside the window and could see that Blessing was the one Alexander was talking to looked at the girl who tried to deny their relationship and they frowned.Immediately, the rumors started again and this time they were even worse because the ones who had originally supported her and Alexander’s relationship became spiteful that she tried to trick them.“I don’t know but that seems like you’re the one he’s here for Blessing—“ Stan joked and then paused when he looked at Blessing and saw the angry veins on the side of the girl’s head. “Blessing?” Stan smiled awkwardly, leaning back and away from her slightly because it looked like the girl was about to punch someone.“That asshole! What does he think he’s doing?!” Blessing complained, biting her lower
Alexander stared at the angry girl in confusion for a few seconds and if it wasn’t for his now perfect memory, he would have thought that he misheard what she said but he didn’t.“Me?” Alexander pointed at his chest, trying to figure out if by some very slim chance he wasn’t the one she just accused.“Who else if not you?” She asked, still walking towards Alexander.Alexander dropped the hand pointing at his chest and then he asked Blessing who had finally gotten close enough to stop “How could I have possibly ruined your last day of school when I’m just getting here—?“Alexander was interrupted when from the classrooms above, he heard the murmurs increase exponentially.“What the hell is going on up there?” He said and hurriedly looked up.“What’s that all about?”“What do you think?!” Blessing asked, crossing her arms in annoyance. Alexander looked at her through the corner of his eyes then he looked back up at the frenzy taking place in the classrooms.“You see what I’m talking ab
Blessing took Alexander into the school building and they started climbing the stairs which were on the opposite side of the building from where Alexander had parked his car.They headed for the Principal’s office, located on the third and top floor of the building.The moment Alexander stepped his foot on the stairs, he heard a lot of footsteps rushing from one place to the other.He paused, grimaced, and looked at Blessing who was still going up like nothing was happening.“I guess it’s nothing serious for her to be ignoring it,” Alexander said then shrugged and continued climbing.What he didn’t know was that Blessing ignored the sound because she already anticipated it and as such wasn’t surprised by what was about to happen.Alexander got to the first floor and he was surprised to see a great number of students, female students especially, standing by the railing outside their classrooms and staring at him as he continued to climb the stairs.It was like he was a celebrity surrou
Alexander furrowed his eyebrows and thought ‘A female voice? Hmm, I guess that’s the secretary’Alexander had done a little research on Scholar Academy after his hours of intense studying. In fact, his research on the school was the last thing he did before ending his study session the night before.During that research, he had checked out the school’s staff which was how he knew that the principal was a man“Okay ma’am,” Blessing said and then opened the door.“Good morning ma’am” she greeted, making sure that the principal’s secretary knew who she just gave access to her office.“Good morning Blessing. Come in” The secretary said, dropping her pen on the document she was working on.“Thank you,” Blessing said then nudged Alexander on the arm with her elbow.“Go,” she told him, using her head to gesture that he goes in first as he was the one there to meet the principal.She also had to close the door so she couldn’t go in before him.“Okay,” the young multimillionaire replied then d
