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
Class was not going down well with him as it would seem like the entire world was put on slow motion. This would have to pass out as the longest day in the history of mankind for Kevin as he spent each time staring at the wall clock. He would occasionally find himself looking in that direction and it took him three turns to realize that the clock was at the same spot as always. His mind had been too caught up with his thoughts to notice and now he did, he could not let it go. Kevin raised his hand and the science teacher that had been blabbing away looked at his direction."What is it, Kevin?" She asked him."I think the clock is not working." He said to her."Oh I see. So tell me, what business is the clock in my subject area especially in a topic such as this?" She asked amidst raised eyebrow.Kevin was embarrassed and he started sweating immediately. He looked down as he managed to speak."Nothing, Miss. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking." He said to her."Of course, you weren't." She s
His mind was doing a long race as he tried to think of a way to wriggle himself out of the situation. His eyes glanced around and he could not figure out what to do exactly. Suddenly, a bright idea crossed his mind that just might be his way out and he put it into work."I don't know what you want, Mickey." He stated mustering up a little bit of boldness."And there's the not so fun Kevin. Could you switch back to the old Kevin? He seems to understand the situation better." He said to Kevin."Old Kevin? New Kevin? What are you even talking about?" Kevin asked him.Mickey was not one that enjoyed his patience being tried. He suddenly grabbed Kevin by the back collar until the front of his shirt rode around his neck tightly. The pressure was suffocating and Kevin tried to gasp for air. The other guys that sat around made certain that no one save for the other students could notice as they huddled around and now was time to set his plan in motion as he looked at them."You seem to have a
At least, they did keep their word and assisted him get out of school. Kevin was really wowed and now it was time to get to Melissa but just then, he realized something that probably would be the biggest set back he had faced in all his time on earth. Whilst he had been playing the romantic saviour to the girl, he had forgotten to get her phone number which if you ask me would make all this stress and hassles of sneaking out of school really futile. To think that he had been thrown over the school fence for this and had nearly been caught by the barbed wire. He could not think of anything else to do and time was no longer on his side. Quickly, he boarded a cab home as he could not go looking how he did now, all rumpled and ruffled thanks to his flight downwards. He promised himself that he most certainly would not undertake such a risk ever again, unless of course if the system puts him in such position that he could not help but undergo risks. Although, he was hoping not. Kevin got
The next cab he flagged and he handed the man the address. It was not so far away a drive and if it had been on one of his less hasty days where he knew the address, he might have trekked to the place. It was actually a coffee shop just around the corner and Kevin was confused as to whether the old lady had pulled off a fast one on him. If Melissa had come to a coffee shop, what has that got to do with her wrecking homes or whatever she had been saying. He had actually been expecting an inn or a hotel to say the least because no way would anyone be comfortable at such a place. He decided that he would go inside and see for himself what it was that the woman had been trying to point out and also, get an opportunity to complete his task.There were two entrances and Kevin decided to enter through the one closest to him in hopes that she would not see him enter and then think that he was stalking her. He would want it to be sheer coincidence in a space where she is comfortable enough. Se
She had not noticed him on time but then, it took Melissa a couple of minutes to realize that she was being followed. She had actually been walking when she noticed that someone was on her trail and she panicked. He would not get in front of her of voice but continued maintaining a distance between them. She had been of the thought that perhaps, one of the wives of the men she hung out with had set this person on her trail to deal with her and if she continued this way, he might eventually get a chance to corner her and kill her.Out of sheer fear, she started out and was walking really fast without stopping. She moved briskly and swiftly as she thought about what to do which was when the bright idea crossed her mind. Perhaps, she would confirm that this person was following her as she knew that the moment she stops somewhere, he would not continue ahead and even if he did, he would be lurking around somewhere thereby giving her the opportunity to turn around and head back the other w
"Busted." She said to him."Busted? What are you talking about?" He asked her pretending not to know in strong hopes that she would not catch onto him."Come on, I know you have been following me, Kevin. Although I cannot say where for certain had it started." She said.Kevin was relieved but he still was not going to admit to that."Actually no. I was really hungry and was wondering what lunch at the place across would taste like." He said. He had been really lucky that it was indeed a restaurant at the opposite place and he had been facing in that direction."So, you weren't following me?" She asked looking grim as her high expectancies for herself seemed to have been severed right now."I don't know, you tell me?" Kevin asked with a smile.He had noted her sudden change in emotions and decided to play it cool with her as he could not let her slip off his fingers. He did not have much time now as he needed to get this task over and done with."So you did not realize I was walking in
Kevin had gone home straight up after he had left her place and only when he had gotten home did he realize that he had still not gotten his jacket from her. He started contemplating on whether to return to her and ask for his jacket but he was aware of the pensive situation between them and the fact that should he attempt to get back there with her, he was going to face off hell with her or be tempted to finish what he had started with her. He could not tell whether he would have enough strength to restrain himself this time around.Hence, he remained home and really uncomfortable as he needed to hear from the system that his task was completed successfully and then he would decide on what to do. He worried a great deal about her and the fact that he had left her in such a mood gave him a lot to think of. She must really hate him now and see him as a player but then, looking on the bright side of things, she had been no different. She was worse with her manipulative behavior and sob
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
