When they got back to the hostel, the dormitories were almost empty as most students had already left. Sure enough, a chauffeur was already waiting to take Eric home.So the two boys had to just cross-check if nothing was left behind. Jed didn't have much assets though as he managed to pack all his things into a suitcase but Eric...The chauffeur walked to and fro carrying different luggages to the car."Did you pack your entire house when you were coming to school?" Jed was stupefied. It was only today he knew most of the things that had occupied the room were Eric's!"Quit messing around," Eric threw a punch which he dodged suavely. "Look at this."Eric waved a phone in his face. The screen was displaying his conversation with Ben.Underneath the video he had sent to Ben, he wrote, 'Jed said we can live together... Good thing is it's rent-free!'"Hey!" Jed pointed a finger at him and he hurriedly moved away lest he got attacked."Come over rent-free and you guys will sleep on the fr
Jed gave a short nod and rested against the window, closing his eyes. Although his head stopped bleeding and the wounds were beginning to heal, he would have migraines every now and then.'But this road wasn't this jammed when we passed earlier,' he thought confusedly, wondering what caused the traffic.The driver quickly came back inside. "Sir, the situation is dire and I guess we are going to be stuck here for a while as the throng has completely blocked the road."Jed sat up and peered forward. That was when he realized most of the doors of the cars in front were open and people were outside pointing at whatever was going on."What's wrong? What's happening?" He questioned; his curiosity was piqued. Did an accident occur?"I overheard the crowd's conversation. A young lady is hanging by the edge of the bridge. She wants to commit suicide," The driver sighed. "This doesn't happen frequently but when it does... It's often difficult to resolve it and now that the road is jammed, I wo
"Mhm!"Jed groaned as he held on tightly. While the lady was talking, he already anticipated her next move from the resolute look on her face.So he inched closer to where she was, slowly while she was lost explaining. As soon as she let go, he reached forward and held her hand, almost falling off the bridge rail himself."Oh no!" The crowd yelped in fear but some sensible men quickly rushed out of the crowd and held both of his legs so he wouldn't fall off himself."Ow," he groaned again. His hands and legs hurt badly. The lady had her eyes closed before but when she didn't hear the sound of water splashing as she fell that she expected to hear, she opened her beautiful eyes.The first thing that came to view was Jed's pained but refined facial features. "Don't worry. I won't let go," His words struck a chord and her eyes stung with tears.Wah! Wah! Wah!Sounds of sirens soon circulated the area as the cops and the firefighters arrived at the same time.The crowd subconsciously made
"Sir, where did you go? I was beginning to get worried," The driver asked as Jed got into the car. The traffic had already eased so the car moved forward."It's fine."Not noticing Jed's expression, the driver continued,"I heard someone risked his life to save the lady. He must have a heart the size of the world to do something as dangerous as that.""Hmm," Jed gave a short reply. He didn't want to face the young driver right now as he was currently tired.The driver noticed this because he didn't say another word till they got to the house.As the driver got down to remove Jed's luggage, he tried not to drool at the beauty of the house. He even gave Jed a quick discerning glance. This passenger looks like he is just a few years younger than him but he already owns a majestic house like this? One really couldn't compare.Jed was amused by his thoughts but didn't comment. The only thing he did was to give him a generous tip."Sir..." The driver stuttered when he received the notificat
'I suggest user make use of an already existing company. One that could rival against them,' Vendetta chimed.Jed walked to the box of pizza he abandoned and picked a slice. 'Okay. I understand what you are trying to say. I'll work on it now.''User should also venture into some investments. Accumulating a large amount of shares in different companies has its own benefits. You should start from Mr Skye.'Jed finally remembered the call in the taxi earlier. "Tomorrow is the revelation of the results. After that, I'll head to Skye bank directly from school," he noted. Once he had switched off the laptop, he went to a popular shopping express online and began to order the basic appliances that he needed.He thought of the gaming room and then finally ordered three desktops. His phone kept vibrating with the sounds of debit alert notifications.Things he ordered didn't cost much so it didn't make a dent on his account balance. After careful thought, he also ordered some basic gym equip
"Yeah! And no one got below 300 marks in the class. You should honor the bet!" One of the elites' students that Jed didn't recognize said. "You made the bet in front of so many students. You lost and can't back out now," Another added like they were afraid he would try to deny the bet.Cullen finally stepped out. "In front of everyone, you said you were going to disappear from the entire society and apologize to us. I hope little brother isn't planning to go back on his words now."There was a righteous look on his face like he wasn't spouting out unjust words.Mrs Smith was puzzled at the sudden turn of events. She was just praising this boy and now this happened?Aren't these two supposed to be brothers? Why does it feel like Cullen harbors a strong resentment towards Jed then?"Don't forget. You agreed to the bet yourself. No one forced you so you should honor your words," Jane spoke, standing beside Cullen.Jed sneered; they were really a match made in heaven. A callous boy and a
The principal's words were a huge slap on the faces of the elites' class. One could even recall that one of the students earlier had mentioned that it was only a mere 10 marks difference.With that mere '10 marks' difference, Jed set records!"The dean has invited you for an interview at the college today. Some of the exam registrars will be there also and the media. You should invite your parents," The principal was vibrating with excitement like he was the one that aced the exam.Jed nodded with a smile. He didn't even need to look around the room to know their countenances.However, at that moment, Eric whispered to Ben,"Have we been living with a god all this while?"Jed was speechless.[Ping!]Vendetta chimed.[User has completed the task of becoming a top student and acing his exams!][User has been rewarded 20 points for acing his exams and becoming a top student!][User has been rewarded 4 points for a satisfying face slapping scene!][User task bar has gone up in ranks!]Jed'
But then, the screen displayed [404 error] indicating the website crashed. Jed returned the phone to Ben and decided he was going to open a Thread account later.Ever since he got the new mobile phone, he hasn't done anything with it aside from calling and receiving text messages.He looked up just in time to see Cullen trying to escape from the room. With narrowed eyes, he remarked,"I didn't know my elder brother was a sore loser."This caused everyone's attention to be on Cullen. When they realized what he was going to do, their faces, especially the elites' students, were ashen.Was he trying to leave them and escape? Who got them into this mess in the first place? If he hadn't proposed that challenge, would this happen?Jed shook his head when he heard what they were thinking. Oh, how quickly people change sides.At first, they were supporting Cullen and now that the table has turned around, they were against him."What do you mean?" Cullen's expression wasn't good. His fists were
