"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 did not know just the reason why he was doing this right now but he seemed to have is crafty wicked mind at work with these things and it pleased him greatly. Having her return after all these years was something that excited him as he recalled how much he had wanted her more. Mickey had always sired these emotions for Alice that were just too strong to keep within and he had been finding it hard to contain them. She seemed like the kind of girl that would get one in trouble but he did not care at all. So long as he was in trouble with her.But then, there was Vanessa. Sweet unsuspecting Vanessa. She still had no idea of what was developing and now ongoing between he and Alice and she will never know. He had vowed to make certain of that.

    And finally, the system was speaking to him once again which was surprisingly strange. He had not expected it to be this way and at this point in time when it was almost late for him. He needed to get his time alone and then seeing that they were nearly done with the main course, he excused himself to use the restroom."I think it's my turn to use the restroom." He said to her."Are you okay?" She asked him."Yes. I'm full and need to ease myself. Would be back in a jiffy." He said to her."Alright." She said and smiled as Kevin moved away.He was walking briskly and made his way to the restroom. He needed to get his timeout and luckily for him, the only man in the restroom was just leaving as he approached. To make certain it was safe, he began looking into the other toilet compartments and after making sure they were all empty, he got into the very first one. He needed to get this whole thing sorted and realized he had just a minute late."I don't understand, I took her to the hotel

    The noise from the chairs pulling across was so loud that a waiter had come to talk to the duo but they kept moving until they got to table ten which was where Kevin sat uncomfortable."Why are you doing this?" Kevin muttered."Doing what? I didn't get that." Mickey teased smiling mischievously."This. Why are you even here?" He asked yet again."How do you mean, Kev? I came here just like everyone else to get something with the boys but apparently, I ran into an old friend." He stated."We're not friends, Mickey." Kevin stated."Oh, but we would be and I suggest you best start getting used to us being here." Mickey added and turned to the other guys.Kevin had never felt so hollow and pained as he was right now. He sat down there, the memory from the other day at Vanessa's birthday hunting him. Being honest, he was scared of the brute beside him and he did not want to pick a fight. He just wanted them gone away from him so he could have himself sometime. His life was already hanging

    "Get him." The man said to the guys with him and nodded in Mickey's direction.The hefty men suddenly went to him and grabbed him by the shoulders heaving him up as they pulled him to stand."We would of course be deducting from whatever your balance for the dessert you took from the young mister." The man said."Get your hands off me this instant!!!" Mickey yelled but they pulled him away."We are really sorry for all of this sir. Please enjoy the rest of your evening." The man said to Kevin as they dragged the struggling Mickey out.He was creating a bigger scene as he struggled while they took him out and sincerely, Alice was not totally impressed. They should have been less noisy and more careful with how they acted out in public. She was wondering if Mickey was always like this because his actions seemed to have gotten to her really big. She looked up at Kevin who sat down there with his mood dampened and somehow, she felt a little remorseful for how he had been treated. It was a

    "Excuse you, what do you want?" Alice demanded from the lady with the clear glint of anger and jealousy."Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't talking to you but him." The lady said.Alice did not know if to take it as sarcasm or what but she would not be having this. Not on a date that was hers exclusively."If you had eyes, you could have noticed that he's with me," She stated and then turning to him," Right Kev...?"She did not get to finish her words because she was met with a stunned Kevin staring at the lady like he was in some sort of trance. Seriously? She glared at the lady that seemed to have this gloating smile on her lips. She was not having this and although Alice had a strong inkling to leave the place, she could not bring herself to get up all thanks to her pride. She was not backing away for some strange pretty woman.To think she thought this lady was pretty alarmed her even more as she could not understand what her problem was at all. The lady right here was a threat in all her se

    The fact that my next target had a boyfriend and I was supposed to go off with her after dealing with Alice bothered me greatly. I could not understand right now if this was just a set up tease by the system to get me to die an epic death. Alice was more bothered by the fact that I had wiped my mouth with my hand after she had kissed me. I decided to play defensive as I needed to regroup and plot my breakthrough from this. I had come to see this as very much challenging and would have to embrace it regardless of how difficult it poses. The system was clearly challenging me and I was not going to back down. At least not now."Wait what? No, I was not wiping my mouth because you kissed me." I said."Then why did you do that now of all times?" She demanded."Because I thought your lipstick might have been smudged on my lips and did not want to leave it there." I said to her.She sighed."But that's the same thing as wiping the kiss off. Not to worry, I will replace it with another one af

    He turned to his new target and observed her dampened mood."Could you give me a minute, I need to take care of something." He said to her.She looked him over."Sure." She said and he walked away to the waiter and demanded his bill.As Kevin gave his card, he could not believe he was actually doing this because of Alice. He felt a sudden rush of anger knowing he would be broke all thanks to her but he had decided not to bother about it. He forced a smile on his face and did a quick rethink. It would be much better if he leads her out of this place so as not to spend more. He just needed to play it cool and romantically with her so he does not give anything off. She was still standing there and waiting for him as he requested when he got back to her."So, what do you say about a walk at night? To at the very least clear our heads." He put up the suggestion.She looked him over."Why not." She said."Shall we?" Kevin asked politely as he led the way out of the restaurant and she walked

    He groaned heavily as he woke up to his alarm that morning. The damned thing was never his friend as it was a reminder of his pains but wait, did he just say pain? He thought as he sat up quickly. What pain would he feel when he's got such a hot sum sitting in his bank account. He could do anything right now and never regret it. He grabbed his phone quickly to make certain that it was still there and he had not been imagining things. It was there indeed and Kevin flipped over on the bed in excitement.It was time to get ready for school and perhaps later, he would see his new target. He knew by then, the system would have spoken to him yet again. Yes, finally he was beginning to enjoy the entire program and had made peace with it as he hoped that he would progress further. However, as he stared at himself back in the mirror, his eyes cringed. No matter how much he had on him, he was always going to be the awkward nerdy acne faced person he always had. Not to mention, the entire disco

    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
