2023-03-13 10:53:07Kevin was in a dilemma. He sure as hell wanted to be as handsome and as dashing as a model which would attract girls but then he recalled Mickey, the guy from his ex-girlfriend's party. He was not that good looking but clearly he had ample amount of cash to throw around which was why he had Vanessa all over him. He did not want to be the broke yet handsome jock but even more, he was scared that he would change totally to a complete stranger.
"Money." he muttered under his breath.
The moment he said that, he was waiting patiently for the money to probably fall from above but nothing happened. He started counting the seconds and by the time he was reaching sixty seconds, he was already nearly giving hope as it felt like a really long time when at exactly one minute, his phone chimed his message tone. Kevin wondered who it was as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He was met with a total shocker as well as surprise which he found hard to believe.
There was an alert message from his bank that $2000 had been transferred to his account. Unbelievable!!!
Kevin stared at his screen over and over again as he could not believe what he was looking at. Sincerely, he had never made that much amount of money before in his entire life and then he read through the alert to see the sender. The name description from whence he had gotten it was tagged with three X's that made him even more confused. Kevin did not want to believe it as he thought that perhaps this was all fake.
There was only one way to find out and he started walking down the street. He saw shops around and then he came across one he always had his eyes on. Each time he passed this popular boutique, he usually stood watching the clothes worn on the mannequins in the display areas. He never actually had money for it but now, he sincerely wanted to try it out. Who knows, he just might have struck a fortune.
Kevin walked straight into the store and he met the eyes of the aggressive old lady that usually sees him wandering outside and staring at the clothes back in the days. He smiled at her and was about browsing through the male section when she walked up to him.
"What are you doing?" she demanded angrily.
"I'm shopping ma'am." he said with a smile.
She closed her eyes and when she opened it, she looked really furious as she started pointing to the door area.
"Get out!!!" she said to him really angry now.
"But why? I have done nothing wrong." Kevin objected.
"You really think so? Well I guess you missed your way boy, this place is not for the likes of you. I have been gracious enough to let you watch the clothes back then because you were not stealing." she said angrily now.
"I do not understand. What do you mean by the likes of me?" he asked.
"Oh yeah, want me to spell it out for you? Alright then, this is an exclusive store and we do not do thrifts here. We sell original stuff. You need clothes sold in cents, I heard there is a shop for your thrift wears just down the street." she said.
"I do not understand ma'am. I don't want no thrift wear, I want to shop here." he said.
"Come on, you cannot afford it. Listen young man, I'm being nice now. Enough with your silly games. You should leave before I call security on you." she said.
"No. I would pay for what I pick out. Just let me shop, madam." he said to her.
"I've had enough of your games. Security!!!" she raised her voice calling out loudly as the hefty looking man started approaching them.
"Do we have trouble here?" he asked, looking ready to beat Kevin to pulp.
"I came here to shop and I have my card here, she says I cannot shop." Kevin explained.
"That's not true, this kid came here to shoplift and I'm being nice enough to ask him to leave." she said.
"Shoplift? That's a lie!!! See I have my card here." he said, pulling it out from his back pocket quickly.
"Ignore him, I know this guy. He has nothing in that card. Take him away." she said.
"Sir, I would have to escort you out now before we call in the cops." the security was saying to him.
But Kevin was not having that. He knew well enough that if he walked away that easily, she would be taken seriously. He still wanted to give it a try. So, he resisted. He insisted that he would be going nowhere as he had come to shop as every other person. The ruckus between them had caught the attention of the other shoppers as they all turned now to look in their direction. The security man was trying to reach for him.
"Don't you dare lay your hands on me." Kevin warned angrily.
"You should cooperate with him." the old woman said.
"What's happening here?" a young woman suddenly walks in clearly one of the sales managers here from her badge.
She looked around and then the old woman gave her tale while Kevin gave his own still insisting he wanted to shop just as everyone else. He showed her his card which he handed to her as he said they were free to call the cops on him if it does not work.
Matter of fact, he was scared of the outcome. But recalling what had happened at the painter's showroom, he wanted to trust whatever this was that had been communicating with him. The young woman decided that she would oversee it and asked him to pick out what things he wanted and meet her at the counter where she was waiting with the old lady and the security man. Kevin went around and found just what he was looking for. He pointed at it and the attendant brought it down.
"That would be $367 but I would make it $499 and give you your change as we have a round figure policy." the lady said to him.
He nodded that he was aware and then she swiped his card in the machine. Kevin at this point held his breath because he was uncertain as to what the outcome would be. Sincerely, he did not want anymore embarrassment at this point which was why he breathed out in relief when the system beeped to certify his purchases.
"Told you so." he said to the older woman. Some customers that had been paying attention cheered and then returned to their business.
The young manager then turned to the both of them and scolded them for their discriminative behavior. They would be brought before the head managers.
"I'm really sorry." The old woman apologized followed by the security man.
Kevin stared at them both as he pocketed his card.
"Sometimes, do not judge the book by its cover." he said as he took his packages and made to leave.
"Sir, wait, your change." the young lady was saying.
Proudly now, Kevin looked over his shoulder.
"Keep the change." he said as he walked away smiling from ear to ear. He might yet be starting to enjoy this game.

Kevin had never felt more satisfied in his entire life by an event reoccurring as he felt about this one. He could not believe that simply accomplishing a task could get him this great deal of fortune. He had gone back home that day and did not return to the lab as he had school the next day.Waking up that morning, Kevin was actually feeling skeptical as to whether or not he should continue on his way to school or not. This fear was arising from the fact that he recalled that a video had been made the night of Vanessa's birthday and by now, it should have circulated all round the school. He wished now more than ever that the system could assist him with an option to get the videos deleted. He would readily do anything for that to happen but that morning when he had woken up, he saw nothing from the system. Kevin decided to just get ready for school with great hopes that perhaps when he gets out to the public, a task would present itself.Kevin took his bath quickly and stared at his

"Well, well, well... what have we here? If it's not sissy Kevin." the irritating guy began.Kevin had not expected that the object of his humiliation would still haunt him after the video upload. He was not in the mood to entertain his troubles at the moment. All he had wanted was so he could complete yet another task given to him by the system and see if he would get another opportunity at picking a gift again. This was merely the second level and he would very much rather that he does not accustom blockages. Not even ones that looked like his ex girlfriend's hooker. He faced him now and the young man started laughing."Listen, I don't want any trouble." Kevin said."Oh, the sissy has grown balls and now talks back." he yelled and everyone started laughing."Yeah, whatever you say but leave me alone." Kevin said to him."And you think I would do that because he simply asked? You should have known better." Mickey said to him.Kevin stood there seeking for the right words to tell him w

"Seriously Alice? I initially thought you were joking about going on a date with Kevin. Yet, here you are getting all ready and set for him. Have you no shame?" Vanessa was asking her cousin.She had actually been meaning to talk to her about it but eventually decided to watch instead as she strongly believed that her sister would stand him up. They had gone about their normal activities after school but what seemed shockingly baffling to her right now was the fact that Alice was indeed getting ready for her so-called date with Kevin. She felt really angry and if she was being honest with herself, she was jealous.Of Kevin, no. But the fact that Alice had moved over to their county and resumed in her school was really upsetting. She had seen how Alice had managed to get everyone to stare at her including Mickey. She could tell from the way he was staring at her that he too was overcome by lust and she might start living in the shadows of her own sister. Then it got worse when even her

He made up his mind eventually as he had stuff to do. Kevin had managed to put himself in order and looked at the mirror, although he was not impressed seeing himself, he was okay with his looks. At least, he could pass for a person's date. He stood in front of the mirror as he now tried rehearsing how he would talk to her when he saw her that evening. He practiced smiles and gestures but then, his soul was dampened and his eyes lowered. He was not at all confident and was wondering how he would pull this off when his eyes fell on his wrist watch. The time was already going fast and he needed to get her to go on this date with him. He quickly buttoned his shirt sleeves and grabbed his jacket as he stepped out onto the street.Kevin knew that he would be spending a lot at the hotel but he just needed to get the right cab that would fit into his budget. He glanced around until he found one that seemed to suit his purpose. The cab driver was sleeping from the obvious boredom of having no

"We're here." The cab man said as they arrived in front of the really big five star hotel."Thank you, good sir." Kevin said as he paid the man up and watched as Alice got off from her side of the car. Initially, he had been expecting that she would wait so he could go round and open the door for her as that was something he usually did with Vanessa back in the days.She would sit back in the car and wait on him to come get her side of the door but clearly, Alice was different. He smiled at her and watched as the driver zoomed off with the car before going to stand shyly beside her."We're here." He muttered barely audible."Yes. I sort of doubted you when you said we would be coming here actually." She said with a smile."Really? I do hope you are happy with what you see." He said to her."Oh, trust me, I am pleased with everything. I should apologize to you for doubting your capabilities." She said to him. She knew her mode of attack would be to play him smooth."Well, you did give

"Your order, Miss." The waiter said to her as she was yet to make a choice.Kevin had been of good knowledge not to make his order first as he did not want to fall short in her eyes when he would place an order beneath what she would be having. He wanted to match with her prowess and would not place his order. Alice had been looking around for what she would order and then she marked her target. She pretended to look up at him first of as she waited for him to say something so she could weigh his pockets but instead, he was asking her."What would you be having?" She asked him smiling mischievously."Me? I do not know. I'm waiting on you to decide for us." He said to her and she smiled."Alright then, waiter I think we would be having number seven." She said as she handed him the menu.Kevin was curious about what she had ordered really but luckily for him, the waiter had spoken loudly of what she had ordered."That would be Lobster trap truffle mac and cheese at $195. How about you

He sat down there for sometime after she had left scared to death. Yes death because that was what awaited him. Kevin could not understand what the system was all about as it had read that he should go out with the most beautiful girl and that he had done successfully. There was nothing from that end and he was no certain what he was doing wrong. Perhaps, it wanted him to first finish the date and then reward him but as he checked his watch, he realized his time was fast speeding by and he would soon lose his life. There was no telling if she had left and he had been so dumb not to stop her from leaving with her purse. But who was he to deprive the lady of her stuff.There was every possibility that she had already gone away as she had shown signs of doubting his capabilities. However, Kevin could not understand if he was cursed or something. He never asked for this. Yes, he did want to hang out with the top beauties and for once in his miserable life, be the center of attention but n

"Are you okay?" She asked him when she looked up and caught him cleaning his sweat this time with his sleeves.Actually, she had noticed long before now but wanted to pretend as if she had not noticed what he was going through at the moment. Now way, she had noted his uneasiness and did not know what to attribute it to other than the fact he probably could not pay but like the coward he was, he could not speak up. No way would he embarrass her in this place. "Trust me, I'm fine. I'm just excited and that's why I'm sweating." He said and she knew he was lying. He was already ugly to her but he did not look so good right now. It was almost like he was actually growing faint and weak. Fear sure did have it's perks.There was no discussion between them as she could see he was longing to start something with them. She decided to seek assistance and picked out her phone as she sent a message to Vanessa saying they were eating now but she had run out of what to talk about as all she had pla

He could not understand how he had become instrumental to the closing of the shoot. Kevin feared at this point as to what the matter was. He could not understand but he really feared as he helplessly looked at Omar. But the guy was looking totally bewildered at this point as he stared back at Kevin. Something had definitely happened to imstigate all of this."Did I do something wrong, Sir?" Kevin asked him."Actually, there is." Don Quinton said as he punched numbers into his phone."Sir, if I may ask, what is the something?" Kevin asked fearfully."I fear you may be my brother's son. Now, excuse me." Don Quinton said and just then placed the phone against his ears. "Hello, Doctor Smith."The man had taken a couple of steps away as he spoke to the doctor. Only now did Omar come close to Kevin. He was still confused and perplexed but if this was actually true, it would go a long way to prove why his feelings towards Kevin started to turn platonic."Alas, you might be my family." Omar s

Kevin had no option but to take off the jacket as he stood there. He looked at his manager for a reaction and the man nodded for him to go ahead and turn around. Kevin was scared he might have gotten on the man's bad records but turned around nevertheless."It's just a birth mark, nothing so bad when even my brother had something similar to this on his....his back????" Don Quinton suddenly exclaimed.He suddenly realized how similar if not identical this was to the one that used to be on his brother's back and right around the very same spot. "Stop right there, boy." Don Quinton said as he started coming towards him.Kevin nearly fainted. He heard the man's hastened footsteps coming towards him and he nearly cried out. He did not want any troubles with the bigger man and simply wanted to be better. He started to focus on breathing as he was holding his breath back at this point."Hold still, boy." Don Quinton said to him.Kevin did as he was told and remained standing."Tissue." The

Kevin had already gotten into his makeup session and was getting doused with golden covering on his body that seemed to glitter as he was dress as though he was some militant from the jungle. It was a fine one. They were going to yet make a commando out of him as a band was tied around his arm to elevate the look of his muscles. Kevin could not believe he looked this hot. The past weeks of workout which he had been doing on empty stomach did pay off and his abs were out. Although, they were not so firm, the makeup artist was so good that she made them seem more elaborate.All through this session, she kept giving glances to Kevin. Seductive ones actually as she admired him greatly. She would sometimes when no one was watching flick her tongue at him but he was less interested in all of that. Eventually, that session was done with and he had to wear a jacket as his dark birth mark around his back was not covered easily. They were worried he would sweat a lot during the shoot or he wou

"You're late, again." His manager said to him the moment he had arrived.Kevin brought up a smile to his face that was supposed to have some apologetic effects. He had actually gone to drop off his friends and went to drop off Allen at the hospital. He had to see Maria who was beginning to stand for himself. Although it was brief, their connection to each other was evident, even to Allen himself who had asked them..."Do I excuse you both?" He said."And you would promise to always excuse us?" Kevin asked him, teasingly."I'm kidding right now. I don't trust hooligans and models around women." Allen had said.Kevin got carried away at this point that he had to stay with Maria quite longer, ignoring his calls which were reminders of the time he was supposed to make an appearance. He was quite engrossed with her that it had taken the intervention of Mike, the driver who had to come in and ask the receptionist where to find him. They knew Kevin was popular and when he said that he was hi

She really had nothing against Kevin and simply wanted to be in the know of all that had happened. Alice had proven to him that she had not the slightest of wires taped to her body and now, he saved her from going all the way. What did she care about, her cousin had been dragged all over the internet for the same reason. It would only be fair if she too gets the same treatment."Fine. Get dressed. You made your point." He said to her."Does that mean you would answer?" She asked him."Yes. I did leak the first ones she sent me but that was only in a vengeful spite. The second one too but I did not kidnap her. Your sister had taken my nude photos while I was asleep and had been blackmailing me into a relationship with her. My buddy decided to intervene and aid me." He said to her."Any of them in the bullying trio?" She asked, referring to Allen and the others."No." Kevin said."Thank you for being honest. You did not deserve getting blackmailed and I did not know. I am sorry. I was t

"Let's sit here then." Alice said to Kevin.It was the little raised pavement by the parking lot where they used to sit. That was a fun spot for students at some point and a hiding spot also. Nevertheless, Kevin sat down in greater hopes that things would go smoothly. He reckoned he would be mindful of his eyes as there was actually no telling what would happen and he could not have a shoot with black eyes or his manager would kill him."Alright, Alice. Why are we here?" Kevin asked her."Heard you were ill. Are you fine now?" She asked him.Was she here to play courtesy or use him further now her sister was away or something because at this point, he would rather he makes it clear to everyone including her that he had not the time and energy to take anything shoved at him. He wanted nothing further with any lady. Either way, he chose courtesy over rudeness."I'm fine. Just have to sit out this game. So tell me, whats up?" Kevin asked her."I needed us to talk." She responded."Talk?

It was strenuous but he had to keep pushing forward.. Kevin found how exhausting the entire thing had been for days since he resumed training. He had heard his alarm this morning and it felt like he would want to smash it in pieces as fatigue was beginning to make his bones feel like rubber. He flopped on his bed but then, missing school was not an option either as he had a serious quiz to get ready for. Kevin was gradually crawling up the point and brink of never returning. He waited for a little while before finally pulling himself off the bed.As he got into the bathroom, he picked up his brush and started to do his usual morning rituals. His skin actually glowed and he was more than satisfied with his reflection in the mirror. He suddenly slowly raised his shirt and noticed how his abs were actually beginning to form. Today was going to be a very busy day as he had a quiz, training and a little thing his manager had refused to actually feel him in on. He had not the slightest idea

Kevin could not believe what had just happened with the principal. The influence of Don Quinton or his popularity but either way, it would come to seem as though he was actually swimming in the greatness of the time he found himself. The principal had taken it upon himself to punish the boys and to their dismay, they were to serve detention for two hours for the next two weeks. How funny as he used to be at the receiving end of all of this maltreatment. Although he enjoyed it, he did not want his time at the top to seem like tyranny. He wanted to do better and he needed his focus on everything he was doing. Kevin and the boys left the office as he held the bag of ice to the little scratch on his forehead that was actually a little on the red side of things. "I do hope this would not cause distortions to our star?" The principal had asked while escorting them out of his office."I'll be fine." Had been Kevin's response.When they returned to class without the other two, it was easier

Perhaps the news of my car acquisition shielded me from a couple of other judgemental stuff but we had to get down to school activities as it should have been all this while. I had been up and running on the receiving end of congratulations from everyone around me as it would come to seem that they were all pleased and happy for me. I had my life back again and this time, it was beginning to feel like I merited it. Unlike then when it was all like I had been the evil demon of the whole lot.But then, it was the system that bothered me right now. It had mentioned family to me and now I had to admit to the fact that I was already on the edge where I could lose control any moment. Was it really going to bring me to my family as it had gone silent and the system very much was nothing that I could actually look up and look forward to helping me out with anything at this point.
