Like an outcast, Christopher's bed lay at the far end of the room, far away from the others, as chatter about their Valentine's gift flooded his ears while he lay still."
"Guess how much I got this ring," Gerald said with a smile on his face.
"It was worth over ten thousand dollars."
"You just spat out the price, so what are we guessing, if I may ask?" Victor added as they all burst out into laughter.
Their words got Christopher even more anxious than he was already, as the delivery guy that was supposed to deliver his gift was nowhere to be found, and he had been planning that for quite a while now.
"Where the heck could he be?" He said it under his breath.
"I wonder why you are so worried when we all know that you aren't getting that girlfriend off yours anything more expensive than cookies." Gerald chuckled.
"Sorry, you forgot to add a delusional girlfriend," Victor added, trying as hard as he could to control his laughter, but they still found their way through.
"I wonder how long he is going to continue in that illusion of his."
He ignored their words, not because it made him feel stronger, but because, in some way, he felt that they were right.
Everyone was getting their girlfriend's expensive jewelry, and the only thing that he could get was a bunch of flowers with all his year's savings.
"And it seems I am going to be scammed out of them." He said it under his breath once again.
He wished that he could get more, but then, that was what he could afford. But he was sure she wasn't going to hear.
"Suddenly, the door flew open, and Christopher jacked off from his seat, but it turned out that it was not the delivery guy.
It was Henry's last roomie, looking like someone had just seen a ghost, making Christopher go back to bed.
"Have you guys had? Silver has finally been engaged. It was such a massive celebration. Too bad we didn't get wind of it soon enough." He announced, but instead, they all burst out into laughter.
Confusion was written on Christopher's face, but he quickly pushed it away.
"It's way too obvious that they are just trying to pull a prank on me and nothing more." He said to himself inaudibly.
"Oh. I forgot that he was still here." He turned around towards Christopher.
"Tell us, who was this lucky guy?"
"Who else could it be? It was Rever, of course. No one, of course, can get such beauty."
Immediately, he spat out the words from his mouth; they exchanged stares and finally burst out into laughter.
His anger rose to the point that he could no longer hold it.
"Laugh as much as you want. The silver, I know, can never do that. We are already planning out our wedding ceremony immediately after college." He spat out, but that only got them rocking hard with even more laughter.
"I think that I should even call her." He said this to himself, bringing out his phone from his pocket.
His eyes caught a glimpse of her contacts, submerging a warm smile on his face that completely replaced the anxiety that was once on his face.
And he picked up his call immediately, broadening the smile that was hanging on his face even more.
"Hey babe." He was about to say something, but his words were frozen after what he heard.
"Fuck me, babe, yeah, right there. Fuck me harder. I wanted to feel that big cock banging me, so the words vibrated into his ears, and to make things even worse for him, the call was on loudspeaker for everyone in the room to hear as they tried to hold the mocking laughter that came afterward.
"I think that you have a call." The sound of the clapping of the ass became slower.
"From your delusional boyfriend. Christopher. I think that should be his name." Kelly added it purposefully so that the caller from the other end was going to hear every single word of it.
"Toss the call already. Don't let that delusional freak stop me from having more of your dick." She moaned out with so much pleasure.
"I'm going to give you more of it. Until the keystone hotel falls apart." Kelly smiled.
"See yeah." He whispered into the phone, finally ending the call.
All through the call, he could hardly move a limb, and his feet seemed to stop beating.
"Silver." The words came out of his mouth slowly while the others in the room burst out into a dark, mocking laughter that tore his soul into shreds even more.
After the death of his mother, she had been the only one who had supported him right from the point that they got into college.
She was the source of his strength to keep pushing through, but now...
"No." He shook the thoughts away from his head.
"Maybe this is all a setup. She can't cheat on me; she swore that she was going to love me." He said to himself with a new surge of energy.
"Are you seriously still not being delusional right now?" He could pick out Henry's voice.
"I think this is getting out of hand. You are sick in your head. Silver is with another guy. You should snap out of it already."
But Christopher ignored him as he pulled off from the bed. He had to find out the truth for himself.
"Keystone Hotel." He repeated to himself as he got his coat on since it was freezing outside.
Pulling outside, the others continued to direct their mocking laughter towards him, but he didn't care even a single bit as the center of his universe was centered on only one person, and that was Silver.
He got into his delivery bike, and he rode as fast as he could as streams of sweat streamed down gradually from the corner of his face.
His heart was racing fast, and hopefully for him, it was already night and the security was not much.
He was soon at the hotel, and he saw them kissing each other just at the entrance.
"I can't wait to get more of your dick." She placed her hands on his dick and kissed his lower lips passionately.
"Too bad such a wonderful evening had to come to an end." She sighed, and he could see the pain in those eyes of hers.
He was frozen right on the spot where he was standing, and it was as though he had been stripped of his life.
"Silver?" His world came crumbling from around him as the words came like whispers from a distance, and he continued to stare right into her eyes.
At first sight, she was startled to her bones, as she never expected him there at that time and never realized that Kelly had picked up the phone."So it's true. You have been cheating on me all this while." His cold words were an extension of the inner pains that flowed through his vines."And so what if I have been cheating on you? Or I cheated on you." She replied, trying not to look like a fool before him."Is that how you respond?" Christopher was finding it difficult to believe that it was the silver that he had known all his life."How long did you think that I was going to put up with your broke ass?You should be grateful that I stuck with this broke ass of yours all through the years." A long hiss escaped from her mouth."I have found a man in Kelly.""Kelly. This fool is known all over school. Are you going to allow him to deceive you so much?""Better to be with a deceiver with a secured future. Sometimes, I wonder how people like you still exist." Kelly spat on the floor,
The hands of Christopher were wrapped around his head, still trying to discover what was going on as his racing heart shot up even more. "What are you?" He finally inquired. Immediately he spat out the words from his mouth; he seemed to have opened a really strange portal before him. A system that only he could see appeared before him while he continued to stare at it, his face washed up with confusion. Words began to form on the system while his eyes were transfixed closely on it. [System adjustment to host] [Displaying the host's analysis] [Body Status: weak and malnourished] [Mind: Good] [Age: 24] [Will: Strong] [Intelligence: 5+] [Starting Balance: One million dollars but not activated yet] [Points: Zero] The words one million dollars that he just read on the system made his eyes shoot out of his eye socket with so much shock. "One million dollars?" He said it under his breath, still trying to figure things out. Having been poor, he has never thought about having su
Thoughts ran through his mind. He knew the possibilities that were going to befall him if he finally decided to perform the task.But the possibilities of not performing the task were totally out of his abilities."I think that I should do this." He said it under his breath with a frustrated sigh.[Ding: 55 minutes left for the task to be accomplished]"And I have to do it pretty fast." He reminded himself once again.With a dangerous dash, he walked away from the sidewalk towards the restaurant that was just overhead. one of the best that was available in the city.His eyes could already relate to the dignities that were floating all around in the place in their perfect clothes that glittered right in the sun, but he knew for sure that he wasn't there for them.He made his way to the reception, and when he finally got there, he noticed that he had spent thirty minutes of his total time already."I will have to get this over with as soon as possible." He whispered, already running out
Clara's feet crept away from the place with a dark smile hanging on her face as she went back to get the card terminal.Everyone caught their cells from their pockets to get a glimpse of the beautiful moments, which were going to be terrible for some people."Now that the card terminal is here, Which are you going to be paying with: cash, transfer, card, or QR code?"She snapped with so much impatience in her voice.[Ding..] The system rang in his head once again, making the pace of his racing heart go even faster than it was already.[The host has 60 seconds more to accomplish the task, or punishment will be rolled out accordingly.] It ended.Without a second thought, he reached out to his card, which had always been lying in his pockets all those years, and shoved it over to the receptionist."I just hope that you have gotten some money from this poor asshole." She said it under her breath, loud enough for him to hear what she just said.Clara took the card away from him, walking gr
Her eyes scanned through everyone in the hall who was ready to tear her apart, limb by limb, if she didn't do what they wanted her to.And with tears in her eyes, she walked up towards him, still staring at the vast crowd with shame.She went down on her knees, licking off the dirty particles from his shoes.Everyone chuckled while taking full records of the moments.Afterward, Christopher was transferred to the main dining section, after which he got out of his restaurant.After he was done with his meal, he was given a whip. His hands were still clutched to the phone that he had in his hands."I guess I will have to go to the bank." He said swiftly to himself.With every step that he took, he could feel his heart beating hard against his chest.Now, without his practical money and nothing to survive in school, he could only hope that all of that was true, or he would become one of those school dropouts."No, I can't allow that to happen." Christopher shook the thoughts away from his
He came down from the car with an air of grace, after which he went to a five-star hotel in the city to get a good night's rest.He could feel a completely different feeling rushing through his bloodstream.For the first time in his life, he had a steam bath, stayed for long in the shower, and slept on water foam.It was the best night's rest that he had ever gotten in his life, and the next morning, he woke up feeling energized.But he knew that he could not linger way too long on the bed. He stepped down swiftly, took his bath, and got back into his clothing.The practical project that he had always prepared for all his life was just today, and he could not afford to be late for it.He took an Uber for the first time in a long time, with his lab coat stalk in his right hand.When he got to the vast room, there were already a couple of students there, purchasing their practical plans.They were called plans, but there was mainly a distinction between the rich and the poor, as poorer
His steps were solid as he walked gradually towards the school board, and he could already feel his heart beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through. Soon, he got to the administrative building of the school, which was littered with a lot of cars. Sweat was already dripping down from the corner of his face. But there was one thing that he could not place his head around, and that was how he was going to get to the principal since that was his very first time coming to the administrative block. "I think that I should ask around." He spoke slowly to himself. His eyes spammed through the building, and he caught up with a security officer at the far end of the line. Walking slowly towards him, he stared at him. "And how may I help you?" His face twisted into a frown immediately after they landed on him, but he was not shaken even for a single moment. "I need to see the owner of the school. I know they are having a meeting now, and it's with respect to that
The eyes of everyone in the room twisted with scorn as he said the words.There were whispers in the hall, but even with their hateful glares, he wasn't moved.Meanwhile, the man who wanted to go by the school could not help but laugh out loud at what he just heard."You what paid off?" He laughed."What do you think all of us are here for? Some child's place?" He thundered with mockery while everyone burst out into laughter.But there was someone who was not laughing even a bit. Mr. Maxwell.If there was anything that he didn't want to do, it was to sell the company over."Can I trust him?" The mechanism of his mind waged war in his head, and he could rarely speak.His decision was what Christopher waited for as sweat dropped from his face, dripping down to the floor.With a sudden flash, he waved his hands, and all the chatter died down.He stood up from his seat and walked toward Christopher, staring him right in the eyes, and finally, he spoke."And who are you?" He inquired."I'm
