"What's this I'm getting about the shooting schedule for the weekend and how did you get my mail?" Kevin demanded the minute the man picked up his phone.

"Excuse me, you sent them to me." The man said.

"I sent them to you?" Kevin demanded.

"Quit playing with me, boy. I have so much on my table to play hooky with you right now. Would I see you this weekend or not?" He asked Kevin.

Kevin was thinking about it when the man responded.

"Alright, then. Weekend it is." He said and clicked on his end.

"But I haven't even..." Kevin was beginning to say when the call ended.

Something was being fishy right now as he had not said anything at all. Luckily, his phone usually keeps records of his call log automatically as that was a setting he used to enjoy during his time with Vanessa. He had done it that way so he could go back and replay their conversation just for the fun of it. He kept forgetting to turn off the setting since their bad break.

Now, it seemed pretty much useful to him as he went

    "Congratulations." Someone said to him."Huh?" Kevin muttered as he turned to find Mickey standing by his own locker as he spared Kevin a look.Kevin had managed to wriggle from being auctioned immediately to the next hottest girl in school by Allen who was hell bent on getting him settled down.. he made an excuse that he had a make up quiz to prepare for after he had gotten into the row with Mickey the previous day and suffered punishment for his behavior. They had to let him go but not without promising that they were not done with him as they really wanted to get him hitched for good. Kevin appreciated their gesture as he literally had no choice at the moment but to do so. He went to his locker where Mickey had seen him.Not like he had not wanted to speak to him least the wrong impression be made. He was actually amazed that Mickey would still consider speaking to him after how sour things had gone down between them. Well, he would come to learn to accept the fact that there was t

    How the mighty had fallen and how low people could actually stoop. Mickey had clearly decided to do whatever it takes at getting back his image from Kevin which he felt was not only stolen but ruptured. He was willing to do that even if it would cost him his very own childhood friendship. He was not going to lose face at school simply because someone seemed to have hit some sort of jackpot and was willing to make everyone go crazy over him. That was something he was never going to tolerate. He made his way back to the class as he passed Vanessa by the entrance as she was still skeptical about entering the class. To think they had suddenly become strangers was something."Are you going to keep hanging around or would you enter the classroom?" The teacher suddenly asked from behind her and she felt ashamed of herself.Although, lots of websites had taken down her leaked photos, and even the ones at the school website for students, Vanessa was already feeling the full force of her expos

    Kevin had watched the entire drama with Vanessa quietly. He could feel the pangs of pain she had going on with her and sincerely, he was not in the mood to start him sorry self but could not help it. He looked behind him at her friend, Melinda. He knew the girl from class but never thought that she could actually be close to Vanessa at this point of her turmoil. He recalled how Vanessa had staged an onslaught on the girl sometime in the past and how they made mockery of her which was around the time she eventually took to dressing like a tom boy.She caught him staring at her and made a gesture with her pen of stabbing him with it. Kevin understood and faced his front. Clearly, she was going to defend Vanessa at all costs and that was good a thing.At least, at her own point of troubles, Vanessa had someone to rely on whilst during his time, there had been absolutely no one beside him. He had gone through his own seven hells all alone with no single friend to tell him it was going to

    Seriously? Right here?Kevin could not believe that this was actually happening at the moment as he suddenly got up and dashed off. Allen and the rest of the trio were abashed at how he was behaving that they technically ran after him just to make certain he was alright. Kevin could hear them calling his name but he continued running as he could now see women with their ratings attached to them as he swept past. He knew intuitively that it was the time for his new task and he actually found himself wondering what that task might actually be.He reached the restroom first and got into one of the free toilets and locked it up. Allen got to the place and was waiting outside with others."Kevin? Are you alright buddy?" Allen was asking him."I'm fine." Kevin managed to call out."Then you really should start considering coming out so I make sure you are fine." Allen declared.Kevin's breathing was erratic at the moment as he looked around. The system was going to start talking any moment

    Kevin had decided at some point during his long wait to take a little nap and perhaps when he was awake, he would start thinking of things related to his task. He laid down and had been sleeping really soundly as clearly his excessive worrying had exhausted his brain when at some point, his phone started ringing. He did not recognize the sound of his phone as he was really exhausted when suddenly, he recalled the meaning of an ultimate price. No way would he be dying this way. He sat up and grabbed the phone as he hit the receiving button.The call had ended already and he panicked.The call had cut off and he began to wonder if he had just missed his chance. He was hoping for the best but it seemed as if the hands of fate were turning him in their wheels and making really big fun of him right now and he felt really sad about that as he thought about it. He could not understand what it was all about but he could not stop worrying. He was actually beginning to contemplate calling her b

    Meredith had been all about the young man she had met at the gym with her friends the other day. She had never been known to be a coward when it comes to approaching men but then, when it came to Kevin, she had to sort stuff out. Her friends also had interest in him and that had to include the relentless Trisha. Every other person had decided to back down for the leader of their little sorority except her deputy which was something she could not have.Having a deputy who defies you is like having a firecracker stuck into your ass. Sometimes, it would explode and leave you bare. Meredith decided that they would have a little face off and leave the rest of them to determine the winner. Both ladies had to come up with an idea for their next fundraiser which was happening in a few days after they had seen him. That way, the person who's idea pulls more weight would be declared the winner.Trisha had come up with the old fashioned tea time theme which very few had attended. Not to mention

    Being seated from his next task was really something to him as he could feel the etches of excitement spiralling around him. He wanted so badly to complete this task especially as it came with relief at the end. Not to mention also, there was a reward.One would say that Kevin was beginning to enjoy the whole thing about completing his tasks allotted by the system and anticipating carefully. He had seen how vain she had tried to be even as she pretended to be modest about her behavior. Seriously, what was it with women and being so petty? He found himself wondering.She had gotten them a seat in the back strategically when she could have pulled them something much better than that. Clearly, her reasons were impure but she cared less. Take a quick thought of how it felt to be the only ones seated on the entire row behind the people in the cinema. Kevin did not even have any slight idea of what movie they would be seeing. He simply sat down there, trying his hardest to be the gentleman

    Finally, the endless torture of a movie night had come to an abrupt end and Kevin realized that it took him a while to get a feel of his legs. He had turned surreptitiously at Meredith who has been playing the dumb one at the moment. How she had managed to remain calm and act like nothing had happened actually baffled him but since she was not talking about it, who was he then to make mention of it or anything of the sorts.She walked away from the theatre while he followed her carefully until they were fully out of the cinema."You've been staring at me, why?" She asked him."No. I haven't." He said to her as he tucked his hands into his pockets. Kevin was as nervous as anyone could portray at the moment but he was thriving to conceal it."Very well then. I wish you were though." She said suddenly.Kevin became anxious. Had he said the wrong thing to her again or something? He wished instantly that he had agreed to the fact that he had been staring at her but in absolute awe at the d

    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. It would pretty much rather delay and show up just when it feels like it. This was what I had to deal with everyti
