Vera stood waiting by the side of the road, the night air beginning to prick her skin. She huddled in her arms, trying to reduce the chill that was getting to her. The dim streetlights were the only illumination around her, providing a quiet yet lonely atmosphere.A few minutes later, the headlights of a car dazzled her eyes. It stopped right in front of her, and a man got out of the car. It was William, the man Vera had been waiting for.He looked elegant in his black suit. He took off his suit and put it on Vera, trying to warm her already cold body."I'm sorry I took so long," William said, looking guilty.Vera snorted in annoyance."You went out with Tania, you forgot I was waiting!" scolded Vera, feeling disappointed with William's treatment.William looked guilty. He held Vera's shoulder, trying to calm her anger. "You're so cold. You should have taken the bus or a taxi home," William said, trying to explain."You mean, I should go home alone and let you go alone with Tania Brow
The students were in the basketball hall, a spacious room with hardwood floors. Bright lights adorned the ceiling, providing ample illumination for the entire room. On both sides of the room, there were stands large enough to accommodate spectators.Jordan and Robert were not there. William was quite relieved to see that. However, there was something that made his heart race, making him feel tense.Vera was there. William was shocked to see his girlfriend there too. He didn't expect Vera to come to this place.Vera was sitting in the stands with her friends. She looked cheerful, laughing and joking with her friends. She didn't realize that William was there too.William was on the opposite side to Vera, standing in the middle of a crowd of other students. He felt confused and didn't know what to do. He saw Vera, but Vera seemed oblivious to his presence.William whispered to Sebastian, his best friend who was standing next to him. His face looked worried, as if something was bothering
William turned around and found Sebastian greeting him."Vera can't go out with you. I think you should go with us." He looked happy that William's date had failed.William tugged at the corner of his lips. "It's great, isn't it, I get to go with you guys."Sebastian laughed, he put his arm around William. "Come on, come with us. There's a free meal for all of us and there are beautiful girls waiting for us."William couldn't believe Sebastian could think of something like this.William just went along with him this time. They went to a place where they were partying. Neon lights flickered, music echoed in his ears, and the atmosphere was full of energy. They got a table in the corner, far enough away from the crowd that they could talk without having to shout.The party was filled with all kinds of delicious and interesting food and drinks. There was a long buffet table, filled with various foods from different countries. There was sushi from Japan, pasta from Italy, tacos from Mexic
As the bar started to heat up, people began to gather around the long table in the center. The challenge was about to begin. The contestants, including Andrew and Sebastian, took their places, each with a line of beer glasses in front of them. The atmosphere grew louder with excitement and anticipation.William, who was never interested from the start, watched from a distance, a glass of juice in his hand. Sonya, secretly intrigued by their competition, wondered if they could really handle their drink.Jim, who acted as the host, stood at the head of the table. He raised his glass high, signaling for silence. The chatter subsided, and all eyes were on him."Ladies and gentlemen!" Jim began, his voice echoing through the bar. "Our brave contestants have accepted the challenge to drink as much beer as possible in five minutes. The winner can ask anything of the loser. Are you ready?"Cheers erupted from the crowd, anticipation palpable. The contestants glanced at each other, some with d
As the competition progressed, Sebastian continued to encourage his friend who was about to lose the match."Andrew, come on, you're a giant! Don't want to lose to Josh!" Sebastian encouraged his friend.Josh was still strong enough to drink. His gaze was mocking as he watched Andrew begin to bloat his stomach. He may have a big body, but as an active sportsman, Andrew certainly didn't drink much. They had to maintain their health.Josh's gesture and Sebastian's encouragement got Andrew's spirits back up. Although at the beginning he felt like he was going to lose because he wasn't prepared, now he was able to convince himself to stay strong enough to finish all the cans of beer in front of him. "Berta, wait!" William couldn't take Sonya with him. Why did Berta just leave like that?"Will, how is it?" Andy asked as he was about to get into Jim's car. William looked at the others, who seemed to have gotten their allotment to take their currently stoned friend home. If he was going to leave Sonya like that, it was going to be bad. "You can go." William said flatly. "I have to take Sonya back to her house.""Oh, okay." Andy didn't say much. "If there's anything, just call me.""Take it easy." William was confident enough to handle this on his own.After Andy left. William approached Sonya carefully so as not to startle her. He touched her shoulder. "Get up. I know you're not too drunk yet. You should still be able to lift yourself up."Sonya pinched inwardly, that William was quite cruel. He didn't even help Sonya to get up, instead throwing accusations like that.However, what else could it be? It was true that Sonya wasn't too drunk because she also only drank a little. TheFrom Scorn to Throne: William Anderson's Journey 94
Vera asked William to have lunch with her at her house. She plans to make a special lunch. Today she plans to make macaroni pasta and cream soup. William agrees to the invitation and he will be there.Meanwhile, the weekend at the boys' dormitory ...."Let's get a burger at our favorite place!" Sebastian was ready with his cell phone, as he asked his friend what they wanted to order."Me, potatoes, a jumbo burger, and a large soda too," Andrew mentioned his order.Andy had no idea what he wanted to order. "Just match mine with Andrew's.""Then I'll do the same with you guys." Sebastian followed suit. It was William's turn. "What do you want?" Sebastian asked."I'm not having lunch with you guys," William said."Well, where will you be going today?" Sebastian was curious. "Well, I'm going to Vera's house. She invited me to have lunch with her.""Lucky someone who has a beautiful and kind girlfriend!" Sebastian teased.Andy said, "That's why you should be careful falling in love with
"You shouldn't talk to me that rudely, I'm not your slave!" Sonya folded her arms when William refuted her words. "Indeed, you are not my slave. But, you promised today that you would help me. You suck!""Never mind, stop talking." William was reluctant to argue now. "What should I do?" Sonya handed him the car keys. "Take my stuff from that car." She pointed to a Mini Cooper that was in the parking lot not far from their position. "There's only one bag in there, just take it. It's mine and don't you dare open it, or I'll accuse you of being a thief."Reluctantly, William walked towards the Mini Cooper that Sonya had pointed out. After a few minutes, he returned with the bag Sonya was referring to in his hand."Here's the bag," William said as he handed the bag to Sonya. Sonya accepted the bag quickly. "Now, come with me," she ordered, leading William towards the Theater Building.They walked in silence, William following Sonya obediently. Once inside, Sonya pointed to a number of
