I'm back. sorry for the long break...
With his high level of concentration, Felix was able to shut the noises in the background. All his focus was on the chunk of metal before him. He was making finishing touches to his project when a hand swiped the entire metal down to the ground and it disembodied into pieces. The sound of the shattering metal parts drew everyone's attention to them.His shock stripped blood off his face as he stared at his project that took him weeks of sleepless night and concentration. "No ..no.. no", he shook his head.He looked up slowly, his gaze meeting Kelvin's face who was smirking down at the piece of metal. Kelvin looked up and smiled."Oh my.. was that your project?" He asked with a pout and chuckles emanated from all angles.Felix balled his fist, clenching his jaw, anger filled his core. "It was trash anyway, I was saving you the disgrace. Mrs. Gladys would rather see something better, trust me", he said and everyone laughed again."What did I ever do to you Kelvin?" Felix asked in ang
There 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
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 asked."After I just met you? Hell no", she smiled, "I do have to go back and manage
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
