2024-10-29 19:42:56There was just one last class before school's dismissal for the day but Felix was no longer interested. He climbed to the rooftop and remained there. He poured the metallic parts out of his bag.
A representative from RoboForge Technologies was coming over in two days and all he has ever dreamed of was to work there. In the big city, make money and make robots. They had this internship program that would run for three months and they were coming to select those with the best gizmo, but his is now ruined. All thanks to kelvin.
There was no fixing this together. He didn't have any money left to buy more parts. The frustration forced tears out his eyes.
He couldn't believe he was about to miss out on such opportunity.
Felix cried for a few minutes but wiped his tears. He started joining it all back again. It's better than presenting nothing.
"They'd know I tried", he said to himself.
He spent hours that he didn't know the bell had gone off until his phone's alarm beeped.
He checked the time, "shit!" He cussed.
He carefully placed the little he had merged together inside his bag and dashed down the stairs. Being late for his part-time job might cause him the job actually but unfortunately, he ran into Kelvin and his friends.
"Someone's been hiding from me", Kelvin smirked, pulling him back by his backpack.
"He seems like he's in a hurry though", Matteo laughed.
"I'll do anything you want tomorrow, just let me go, I have somewhere to be", Felix begged
"You mean the little bar you work in?" Kelvin scoffed, "the trash looking bar waiter. You've destroyed that place for me Stark. I used to enjoy coming there" He pushed him.
Felix's back met with the lockers.
"Kelvin please", he winced in pain, "let's leave all these for tomorrow".
"Beg louder", Kelvin smirked at him.
He stared from kelvin to Matteo and then Owen, he pleaded, "please let me go".
They busted out laughing.
"Oh Felix. We did miss you in class today", Kelvin smirked, reminding him of earlier today, but Felix didn't say a word.
"Actually we have no plans today, so you my dear friend are going to keep us company", Kelvin stumped hard on his foot and it was hellishly painful.
His phone's alarm blared again. He couldn't possibly loose out on two things in one day. He needed that job and those tips. Staring at the three guys, he closed his eyes and drew in much breathe. With all his might, he pushed Kelvin out of his way and ran out.
He kept running. He knew tomorrow at school would be hell for what he just did but they weren't gonna pay him, this job will.
Felix didn't stop running, he was late anyways so walking wasn't an option. He kept praying within him that his boss wouldn't be in a bad mood or even still, she wouldn't be around.
He kept on running and bumping into a few people. He was sweating already but smiled once he saw the bar in sight. How he got a job here was a miracle to begin with.
In his smiles and happiness, he forgot to watch his path, he bumped fully into her. They both fell.
"Shit! I'm so sorry ma'am. I really am sorry", he stood to his feet immediately and lent a hand to the woman who landed on her butt.
She looked up about to take his hand when she caught sight of the amulet that was dangling on his neck.
"Ma'am please forgive me. It was my mistake. I should have watched where I was headed", he apologized as he helped her up.
He kept peeking at the restaurant.
"Where did you get that?" She asked looking shocked.
Her hand was pointed towards his neck, so he simply looked down at the amulet. He looked up at her.
"It's mine", he simply answered and dashed off.
Her eyes followed him until he got to the bar. She watched him pick through the glass before going in through the back.
She was still in shock. She got out her phone and made a phone call.
Meanwhile, Felix tiptoed his way in but luck wasn't shining down his path today.
He met face to face with his boss. Mrs Smith.
"H...hi.. Mrs Smith.. goodafternoon", he stammered.
"Does this place look like a joke to you Felix?" She folded her arms.
Felix shook his head negatively, "I can explain ma'am".
"You're full of stupid excuses. I hate incompetent fools like you. We both know you don't deserve a job here. I only accepted you after your mom's plea touched me but if you wouldn't be grateful enough and take it serious, I'd gladly fire you", she warned
"No please. It will never happen again Mrs Smith. I promise", he rubbed his hands against each other as he pleaded.
"Get lost from my sight", she hissed and Felix scurried away.
Mrs. Smith knew she could have fired the boy a long time ago but the handsome young boy brought her a lot of customers.
Felix simply wore his apron and hurried out to the front. His colleagues hissed aloud.
"I'm sorry", he muttered to the female but she cared less.
***
He worked tirelessly till his shift was over. He rounded up and was ready to go home when Mrs Smith sent for him.
He made his way to her office.
"Mrs Smith?" He knocked on her door and he went in when he heard her response.
"I see you're done for the day".
"Yes ma'am and I apologize for coming in late. I have no excuse but it will never happen again".
"I see you got some tips tonight?" She asked with an arched brow.
Felix stood muted without answering. He didn't know what point she was trying to make with such question .
"Answer me Felix", her calm tone even scared him the more
"A few customers were just being kind". He answered.
She stared at him with disgust for a while before exhaling.
"Give them to me".

Felix stood dumbfounded."Did you not hear me?" Mrs Smith raised her voiced."Every.. single... Dime", she glared at him."Ma'am", his voice was shaky, "ma'am please. I worked for this"."You work for your pay Felix. And I'm the one that pays you, any other cash from customers is mine"."But the others got tipped off", Felix didn't understand why she was being this mean to him."The others take their jobs seriously", she stated.Felix couldn't imagine going home empty-handed. He watched hopelessly at the woman. His throat ran dry."Choose Felix. Give me the tips or kiss bye bye to this job", she dropped the bigger bomb.Felix preferred a lightening would strike him at this moment."Do not waste my time young man, it's nauseating enough to have you here", she spat.Felix with trembling hands dipped his hands into his pockets. Getting a job wasn't easy. He couldn't loose the one he already had.He gathered all and placed them on her table."If I discover, that you held back a single pen

It was a happy reunion for all of them."You would never suffer again son. I apologize for all the years you had to experience such", she kissed his forehead, "and thank you again, Laurel", she said to her friend."Oh please. Felix is a sweetheart. He's still my son. Would always be", she said."What of Father?" Felix asked."He has business to take care of", she stroke his hair, "but we'd go see him once his back or he can come down here if you want. Though we'd love for you to come home", she said."Home? You don't live here?"It was Laurel who chuckled, he turned to her confused."Your parents have nothing to do with a small town like this one", she said."Well we have our main residence at Mayville, if that's what you're asking", Andrea shrugged like it was nothing, which actually it was."Main residence? There are more?" He asked shocked."Your parents are rich Felix. Filthy rich you can say", Laurel chuckled.Of course that would be the only explanation for having their main res

"forgive me Mrs Stark", Connor bowed and dragged the young waitress out.Felix and Laurel hung their jaws in awe. Felix was shocked at the fact his parents owned this luxury hotel and Laurel already knew her friend and her husband had hit jackpot but she just didn't know the mass of their wealth."You own this place, mom?"Felix found his voice "No son. You do", she smiled, "forgive such display. Connor would be careful from now henceforth", she smiled at him, "please enjoy your meal"."I own this place?" Felix was no longer interested in the meal."And lots more", Andrea smiled at her son. "This is just a branch, an extension of Stark HOTELS. You own this place. All these people.. they work for you. It's your inheritance", she said, "please eat up son".Felix had a shit ton of questions but he was really hungry and of course, his mom wasn't going anywhere...Yeah.. wait "Mom? Are you leaving?"

He balled his fist at the mention of that name. His mother noticed his countenance changed."What's wrong? You know him?" "Of course I know him and he will not step foot inside father's company. He's a prick and has always bullied. He was the one that destroyed my gizmo besides he's not good. He has his father do most of his projects for him! He will not work for us", Felix raged.His mom smiled. She thought it was something more serious, "is that all? Honey it's your company. Personalize it", she smiled, "and your wish is my command. We'll cut off every connection with their family. Will that do?" Felix nodded in satisfaction. Kelvin had to pay for all the humiliations he's put him through. Laurel stepped out. She had had her bathe and changed into a nightie."C'mon felix. She's my friend too. Go in and sleep. It's girl's time", she pouted and Felix smiled."Yes mom", he bit his lips, "I mean ...aunt Laurel". Andrea would surely not pick an offense. He had grown to seeing and k

Felix smirked.He even knew his mom. He's so dead."I didn't know you were in town", he smiled."Nice to see you too Arthur", she said."Son, you couldn't find what you needed?" She asked and Felix could see Arthur's eye widened. He pleaded with him with his eyes. Felix only grinned wider. He was enjoying this.Her phone rang again and she picked up, "what's it this time?" She groaned and stepped out.The man rushed to him and held his hand."Sir. Please forgive me. I must have been high on something. I overreacted. Please show mercy. Pick anything you want. Anything at all. It's on the house", he pleaded."Get your hands off me", Felix scoffed, "and I have enough money to fund whatever it is I want to buy", he scoffed, "but I'd rather take my money elsewhere".Andrea walked back in."Mom let's leave", Felix said."Arthur what happened?" She asked."Do you know him mom?" Felix asked "Yes. We helped start up this business. He's a friend. Any problem?" She asked.The man was at the ver

They were all seated and Andrea began by introducing herself."I'm Andrea Stark", she announced loud enough and a few people did turn to stare at Felix because of the last name but it couldn't be possible. They didn't even look alike and besides, they've known poor Felix for years.They returned their attention back to the woman in front.She kept talking and explained her purpose for being at their school."It's a program we hold every three years and normally isn't for high schoolers but we've decided to give you all a chance and it's all thanks to Mr. Cooper here who picked out your school and I'm very pleased with what I see", she said and the students beamed with smiles."Please, feel free when I get to your table", she said and the inspection began.She asked a few questions and the student answered. She had gone past five tables and hadn't picked anyone yet. She got to the sixth table and was intrigued. She asked the girl a few questions and she demonstrated and answered as exp

"you should speak to her too. I cannot work with this trash", he glared at Felix."You won't be working anywhere at all you foolish boy!!!" Everyone gasped "Couldn't you have simply memorized the parts?!!!! You didn't go through the stress of making it! All you had to do was learn!!! Learn!!" He yelled angrily."Dad you're embarrassing me here. I learnt all Mrs Gladys thought me".Everyone gasped again.Mr. Cooper turned to the fear-stricken woman."I paid you did I not?" He looked like a ferocious wolf as he strode towards Mrs Gladys."I made the Gizmo and I thought him according to the answers of the questions", she said."Kelvin cheated?""I can't believe this""Rich people are the worst"."Mrs Gladys is simply stupid"The students murmured amongst themselves.Kelvin ignored them and matched forward. Some students already had their phone's out."Dad, you don't have to do this you can simply call the owner..." A stinging slap cut his statement. His dad had never slapped him. A fe

Felix was cautious enough to not hang his jaw in awe as he stared on. The maids rushed to them. One taking his mom's handbag from her and another taking his bag from him."Welcome home young master", they all bowed."Yes. Welcome", Andrea smiled at her son. In that moment, Luca was descending the stairs."Dad", Felix mouthed and rushed to him, the two males hugged it out."It's good to finally have you home", he roughed his son's hair."Why do you both always do that", Felix groaned as he arranged his hair.They both chuckled including the maids that stood around."Old habits", Andrea chuckled."It's something we loved doing and you enjoyed it as a kid", Luca drew his son close."Well I'm not a kid anymore, am I?" Felix smiled."He's just as stubborn as you", Andrea smiled with teary eyes."Don't even dare let those tears out", he let go of Felix and held his wife. "We are together once again. After a long while. Nothing is separating us now", he said and kissed her lips."Son, you

She blinked and looked away, walking in and leaving them standing."Hey", Felix voiced first and Addison simply smiled."You made it", she found her way to him and they went in together. She sat beside him and Felix stared at her. She simply smiled, "should I leave then?""Uh. No.. no. Sorry", Felix chuckled embarrassed. His gaze met with Katia's and she looked away almost immediately."You know her?" Addison asked."Met her once. She's friendly", he answered curtly and looked away. Since he drove in whilst in the cab, the sight was a wonder. Bulian university was huge and obviously for the wealthy. He saw why. The students were stunningly dressed, the cars they drove.... He looked around, even the air was welcoming. "He's coming!!" A girl squealed and ran in. He could see the smiles on the faces of almost all girls. He wondered who was coming. His eyes remained glued to the door.Soon, a guy stepped in.His head hung low and his palm tightly gripping his back pack. "Is he the one?"

Felix remained standing, staring at her in fear and shock like she was about to extract his soul or something. Katia didn't know what to say. Nobody told her he couldn't remember nothing, and he looked like one hell of a curious cat. If she could wipe his memory off right now, she would. All she could do, was spill the next trash that left her mouth, "aha! You fell for it", she clapped and walked back to sit with a chuckle. "Fell for what?" Felix didn't bother going any closer. "Never heard of the naughty daughter of the Atwoods? I guess I'm not so famous as I thought I was", she smiled, running her tongue over her lips. She wasn't one to apply lip gloss else she'd lick em all. "It was a prank. So sad I didn't get your reaction on camera" "You... Moving a chair with no contact was a prank? Really?", Felix finally found the courage to move closer. He took not more than four strides closer, "by all means..explain". Katia rolled her eyes visibly, "it's an invisible drone thing we wo

"Do i have to do this?" Felix sighed as he stared at his parents from inside the limo."You'd be leaving for college in two days. It's just a meet up", Luca explained to his son."You don't have to like her. Just think of it as a connection," Andrea smiled."A connection?" Felix chuckled, "you made me buy her a necklace that cost a million dollars", he arched a brow."The Atwoods are powerful and I suppose she has more expensive ones in her collections but it's called courtesy Felix", Andrea smiled."Let's get this over with", Luca smiled.Felix heaved a sigh as he arranged his suit.He did look a whole lot better, with his hair done and he in a suit. He really did portray a rich son maybe spoilt. He was gorgeous for his age.The door was opened for them and Luca stepped out first, he helped his wife out and Felix stepped out next.The flash of cameras was not expected.

Victor stared confusedly, "brother, what are you doing?" He asked wide-eyed.Connor rose up, "fucking untie him already!" He yelled and the boys around rushed to untie Felix."I'm so dead", Connor cried.He turned sharply to Victor, his eyes bloodshot."How dare you drag me down with you!" He yelled and marched forward towards Victor who kept backing away."Brother, what are you talking about?" Victor asked still confused, not understanding a thing."Is he your brother?" Felix's voice finally rang out."What? No, young master!""Connor!" Victor yelled out, his eyes bulging by the second, threatening to fall out it's socket."He's not your brother, but you walked in here like you were ready to kill for his sake", Felix asked with a raised brow."No. Please Young master Stark", Connor fell to the floor.Victor heard an explosion inside his head.STARK!!!!"You...

"what?" Felix asked wide-eyed."Chairman Stark is your father. If everyone would be blind I refuse to be", she smiled and scooped a portion into her mouth."What makes you think that?""The fact you choked. If he wasn't, you wouldn't bulge. Besides, the resemblance is topnotch. I don't know if they're paid to act like zombies who can't think", Addison scoffed."Don't get ahead yourself Addison", Felix chuckled and Addison turned to stare at him with a smile. That would be the first she's heard him call her name in years and it felt good to hear that."Why are you smiling?" He snapped his fingers across her face."None of your business. But I am certain he is your dad. That's why you changed your last name. You didn't want any one to know, right?""I mean what else better explains the fact that the chairman got so involved with an intern. He was literally everywhere because of you", Addison scoffed.Felix kept thinking of the best way to sway her from her thoughts. That didn't need to

"you're all bigger now", Laurel exclaimed."Don't be overly dramatic", Felix rolled his eyes."Not bad", he smiled. They had gotten laurel a new home and she had taken over the hotel as Felix wished."I might give you a feast like your parents, but I prepared something", laurel smiled."I've missed your cooking", he smiled as she showed him his room. He freshened up from his journey and was changed into simpler clothes before joining his aunt at the table."How did you internship go?" She asked.Felix nodded, his mouth stuffed with food."It's really nice what mom and dad had built together", he answered, "how's the hotel?" He asked."I'm doing my best", she smiled.They both ate in silence until they were done."Thanks aunt". "Anytime", she smiled and stood to clear the plates, Felix joined her. "Aunt Laurel", he called her attention, "you'd never hide anything from me right?" He asked."Sure. What's this about?" "It's about my childhood. What was it like?"Laurel paused to stare

Three months had come and gone and his internship was over."Mom?", he knocked on his parents bedroom door. He was sure his dad wasn't home."Is that you honey?" Andrea voiced "Can I come in?" Felix asked and a hummed response reached his ears."Anything the matter sweetheart?" She asked, not taking her eyes off the files that were scattered on the bed."Seems like you're busy?" He bit his lips.Andrea stretched and finally looked up at him, "actually, I could use a distraction", she smiled.He drew a chair and sat close to his mom."So....?""I was thinking if I could go stay with aunt Laurel a bit before leaving for college?" He asked politely."Sure. I don't see anything wrong with that. Asides the fact you leaving home again soon. But you can as well...."We've talked about this mom", he sighed."I'd always come home when I have the chance, but I refuse to be homeschooled and privately tutored specially.""You want to experience life and learn, blah blah""Mom.." he chuckled."Fi

"you and your son caused a rukus at my company today", Luca sighed."I made it clear. My wife did also. We don't work with cheaters".Mr. Cooper fell to his knees immediately, "I've lost everything", he sobbed."Help me" "If the public knows the Starks are collaborating with me again, my stocks will rise. I'll recover a whole lot. Please sir", he bowed."If you continue this way, you'd never stand on your own", Felix sighed and Kelvin boiled."How dare you talk? Should I rip out your mouth?""Your son has only gotten worse, and he caused a damage he still needs to pay off", Felix chuckledMr. Cooper stared at him weirdly. He recognized Felix of course, but it just hit him that he was in the same room with them. For what reason? Who was he?"My son will decide", Luca stated"Son?!"

"what?" Kelvin chuckled. "You have to pay for the parcel else I would be punished" Felix repeated himself, staring Kelvin in the eye. Kelvin who was stunned at his boldness took his time to laugh out loud. "Stark.. you stole my spot and now you talk back at me?" He asked with a scoff and tried to punch Felix again but Felix held his hand midair and slapped him instead. The slap sent him staggering backwards. He held his cheek, staring at him in shock. "How do I expect you to pay for this now. I'm very sure your father hasn't recovered from the losses you cost him", he chuckled. "How can a son financially ruin his own father? Dude, I would never show my face to the world If I was you and I wonder what both of you are looking for in here. I'm pretty sure this company and it's owners want nothing to do with cheats", he spat. Kelvin grew angrier. Who was Felix to talk to him in such manner. He marched towards Felix and pushed the parcel he had just picked up down again. It made
