Joe Cole stood still watching the man who had just threatened to fail him academically walk away and unresponsive to whatever he was asking. He gave thoughts to what Mr Hudson's threat could mean and how serious the lecturer was willing to take it. As he stood contemplating, the students began erupting out of the lecture hall, some murmuring mockeries as they walked past him. Others giggled, especially the ladies, most of whom found him admirable. Since his sudden rise, Joe Cole was drawing admiration from most of the ladies in the school. Same people who mocked and ridiculed him before, now seeking out ways to draw closer to him save for the fact that he wasn't regular in school as they hoped. His relationship with Mercury, his enigmatic moves, his good looks and attractive appearance, his brilliance and all, began popping up to catch the eyes of the beauties at KQU. Some of these ladies had finally gotten to see him in school and stopped to have a word with him. Jennifer Houston,
Joe Cole and Mercury walked through the pathways on campus with all eyes fastened on them, most of which murmured and gossiped about their relationship. The smear campaigns against Joe Cole by Jake and Emily were having their toll on campus with more and more students falling for it by the day. Their perception of Joe Cole as a babyface was fast dropping as they now came to see him as a gold-digger and an opportunist who was after the Carters and their fortune. The claims of the smear campaigns were heavily backed by Marquis which gave it even more credibility for the students to believe. Marquis supported the claims that Joe Cole was somehow playing his parents and his sister and using them to gain financial opportunities from different sources. However strong their claims were, they couldn't explain how Joe Cole managed to spend $30 million in a clubhouse in one night and give his friends $20 million the next morning. Their only theory was that he must have won a lottery but there
John sat with Betty having lunch while waiting for Joe Cole so they could talk about his plans for Alex Wayne, among other things. Since the incident at the club that resulted in the two being hospitalised, Betty had broken up with Alex and was now dating John. Their relationship was going strong and they found more to each other than they expected.John had healed about 90% save for some few marks of bruises and slight pains within those areas. Betty made sure to do all she could to aid his speedy recovery. News of their relationship also spread through campus faster than anyone could have predicted. It was now a trendy topic that John Caviar was dating the social media superstar, Betty Netty. And since she wasn't a dramatic type, people didn't really have much to say about their relationship other than the event that resulted in it.John stared across the table to behold the beautiful face that was sitting opposite him, his longtime crush. Betty was the only lady on-campus John ever
As they continued their banter here and there, John standing up to them all the way and Betty being a cool lady also joined to make her soft requests for the group to leave her and John alone to enjoy the lunch, Joe Cole and Mercury stepped up from behind.“What is going on here, guys?” Joe Cole's voice creepied in from behind the group, almost startling Emily. The group turned and behold it was their archenemy, the sole reason why they don't sleep at night nor have a healthy time during the day. The one person they wished never existed and even as he did, they wished he was far away in Africa or lost in one of those poverty-stricken countries to rot and die. Yet, like all wishes, they aren't horses for all to ride. The group had to take a direct approach to countering this ‘existential’ problem of theirs. As his voice was heard, the group began clearing the way for he and Mercury to walk pass while they looked at them disdainfully. Mercury stopped to look at her brother, Marquis, o
The tension between the groups took a twisted turn, none knew what to do next other than just take their leave. Joe Cole was finally standing up to them verbally and his statements so far were enough to toss them in a shock. Jake and his group however, had some more to try on Joe Cole and his friends before they intended to give them the big announcement that brought them there in the first place.Robert stepped forward to make the next fire for his team. “You know what? I think we need to get you two out of my student mansion. After all, Joe Cole doesn't come home anymore. He sleeps around now because your payment is due and he can't afford it.” He targeted Joe Cole and John.They all laughed at his point, what surprised them the most was that Joe Cole and his friends too were laughing. After a loud round of laughter, Joe Cole smiled at Robert. “I bought you a drink of $2 million in one night, all of you. And you think payment for my student mansion is my problem?” “I plan on gettin
The confusion in the room set everyone on edge, one minute Cilla had destroyed Joe Cole with her intended plan, making it seem like Joe Cole would have to beg or worship her. The next, Joe Cole flipped the entire thing when he asked her to go ahead and call her parents who he claimed to know. With the confusion set and everyone questioning what Joe Cole meant by being friends with the Winthrops, all attention turned to him for answers.Even though Joe Cole had spent tens of billions of dollars to purchase Winthrop Properties and had his team finalised the deal, Cilla was still ignorant of the entire deal. Her parents were yet to inform her about it for whatever reasons, and it seemed Joe Cole was about to help her out.“Come on, go ahead and call your parents, let's hear what they have to say.” Joe Cole restated to the young lady. Cilla looked at him with much confusion, Jake and the others signalled for her to make the call and put Joe Cole to shame. Cilla brought out her phone, dia
Joe Cole had just dumbfounded everyone with the bold move of actually calling Cilla's parents. But what was more stunning was how Mrs Winthrop spoke with him, there was so much reverence and respect from her while Joe Cole spoke to her in a calm and confident tone. The questions and murmuring took their toll among the groups, everyone wondering who Joe Cole had become and how he gained such levels.Not only does he roll with President James Carter and his family, except Marquis, he now rolls with Cilla's parents. “Your parents might be next, dude,” Marquis whispered to Robert. It was a shocking bold move Joe Cole was making and they all feared it.Cilla went on to speak with her mother while everyone else listened, it was now clear to all that it was her mother who Joe Cole called. Same woman whose secretary didn't take her daughter's call because she was in a meeting, was forced out of a meeting to take Joe Cole's call.“Mum, what is going on here?” Cilla asked, her voice laced with
“I never knew these dramas were this interesting. I should witness more of it,” Betty reacted, her eyes still shining bright from watching her first episode of Joe Cole vs Jake and Emily. The most trendy feud in school and it was giving, the hypes were worth it as she could tell.The others laughed, welcoming her to the club and encouraging her to spend more time with them. They basked in the moment and placed orders for their meals while they chatted.Mercury picked up her phone, there was a catchy notification on it and she checked to confirm what it was. “See guys. They just announced the King and Queen of Campus Event.” She announced to the others with excitement in her tone. Betty joined her in the excitement, they have both won Queen of Campus at least once but Mercury was the current Queen of Campus.Joe Cole and John watched the ladies as they giggled their excitement for the show, John has participated severally but won nothing, Joe Cole on the other hand never got a chance t
