Gutter Boy."Gutter or Guter boy, whichever it is you call yourself, my dishes are still left dirty. If you waste one more minute, I'll have you wash them and still not give you a dime."Dave threatened."Those uniforms I gave you, it's like you want to lose this good job that still helps you keep your neck to your head." Richard continued.But Michael Guterson was only trying to round up ironing the hostel rep's suit. He had told him he either gets them before six a.m., or Michael Guterson knows the rest.On a certain day Michael refused to do his laundry because he said he wasn't going to pay, Michael submitted his assignment and had it left on the chair. Tir, their class rep left it there and didn't bother to take it with the others to submit to their Management lecturer. It was an assignment on Principles of Management.But Michael Guterson couldn't do anything. He can't go to report to anyone, he had no one.Michael was already used to being called Gutter Boy. Though his surname
Phone Buzzes."Yes, before you go. I want you to know Diane is never and would never be your girlfriend. If you're having a trance, or maybe a dream, or even a nightmare, then you gotta wake up. This is for coming with your filthy body and ring to where you aren't invited."Will said, pouring the Henesse contained in the bottle he was holding on Michael."At least, he's now famous. You have to come to see the reactions to this live performance."Another of his class guys said, making Michael confirm again, that the whole world had seen him embarrassed and bullied.But it didn't just make sense to him. That Diane, his Diane could do that to him and still watch him maltreated by the same Will he had earlier spoken to her about the quarrel they had at the lecture hall.Michael left the party. There was nothing he could do and couldn't even return to the hostel. The remaining guys would be waiting for him, and there would be nowhere he would hide himself because of shame. They all have se
The Meet With Mama G.The two men chorused as Michael Guterson's gaze met theirs.Michael wondered what he would have such wealthy good-looking men do for him. He's supposed to be the one asking them that question. He wondered how he was just following them, sheepishly, like a man under a spell."We'll be there in less than thirty minutes Elegant Young Sir Michael. Sorry for any inconvenience."Sebastian said as he drove. But Michael Guterson was all confused. Were they mistaking him for someone else?Michael looked and in no time, they were already before a big beautiful mansion. Everything about them was just huge and classy for him."This way, Elegant Young Sir Michael." This time, one of the two able-bodied men took charge.Michael Guterson followed, to Mama G probably.Then he found them leading him to a royal dining. Sets of dishes already arranged before him. The choicest wines and liquors are put in their place."Before you see Mama, Elegant Young Sir Michael, you'll have to g
A Night At The Mansion.Michael Guterson still couldn't believe his eyes. First, he now has a family, and now, not just a family but a wealthy one."Your Apartment, Elegant Young Sir Michael," Sebastian said, as Michael was still following him, and this time, he was taken to an all-beautiful section of the mansion, possessing its everything. Dining table, restroom, study and all. The study especially. It was packed with books and Michael was a bookworm. He admired it in every sense."God.. You love me this much!?""Pardon? Elegant Young Sir Michael.""Ohh, nothing."Michael didn't know those words slipped out of his mouth aloud already. He couldn't contain his joy and was only trying to have himself controlled.Sebastian left and returned after some minutes as they were to head back to Mama G again. They haven't finished their discussion."So what level are you at Coles and what is your course of study?"His grandmother asked."Final year Ma, I am a Business Administration student." M
At The Dean's Office. How would he get used to the fact that he is now a rich young man? Michael Guterson thought. He had forgotten he'd be having his phone changed today.Michael thought about telling Sebastian to leave it only when he returned but remembered he'd still be having a group class after the nine o'clock lecture. Now is the perfect time. He'd only be some minutes late for the lectures. Mr. Francis never even keeps to time.Michael went with Sebastian to a big electronics store. It was obvious poor people can't get a thing there. Everything was set in glass casings.With the help of Sebastian, Michael chose the hottest phone brand. It was a Samsung LX3D. The newest release."Seventy-three thousand dollars sir", the store's attendant said.Michael was about to withdraw his phone from his pocket to make a transfer when Sebastian gave him a green card. "Here, Elegant Young Sir Michael, Mama G said I should give you this to take care of all your transfers." Michael didn't kn
The Card At Royale Couture.MICHAEL thought about revealing to them immediately, who he was, but that would have all eyes on him in the entire school. He wasn't even done with the embarrassment from Diane's party. He was sure his pictures and video recordings were all across social media."Michael..?" A voice called just when Michael was about to walk with the security officers to where he didn't even know. He looked, it was Barrister Dan, Coles University's chancellor.The same man his grandmother told him was then his father's friend."Where are you taking him to?, Mr. Dan asked the officers."This poor thing here is nothing but a thief. He stole a green card from who we don't even know, and came here to use it to settle his tuition fees." Mr. Park said."Let him be, Now!!" Dan, who was their University's chancellor and also a barrister said."What..!??" The members of staff chorused."If you all don't want to lose your jobs right now, let the young master released!"Young master?
Glass Comb.Diane was lost what Michael had turned out to be just in few hours, and how people are now bowing to him even the middle-aged man. "Who are these two to you? I see you've grown wings now Michael" Will said.Before the security officers could arrive, Diane and Will already found their way out of the building."So sorry young master!", the middle-aged man said again.Michael was still confused as he turned to leave. He saw the man hurry to the door even before him, he pushed the door open directing Michael to just walk out.Michael was walking out when the man screamed again, "Please Mama G shouldn't know about this."Michael laughed."What will I even tell her?" he muttered to himself.*****It was evening already and Michael decided to return to the hostel. The boys probably must have gone to meet their girls, they'll just be out. The hostel's population is normally reduced drastically during the evenings and sometimes, Michael wondered where they all go to."Heyy gutter.
The Paper Signing."I am talking to you Diane, what are you doing here and without your super boyfriend?"Another flush of confidence ran through Michael Guterson. It was Diane. His dislike for her was now becoming intense. Instantly, Michael had no iota of love for the woman he had always desired."You know I love you, you know I love you, Michael. You are the only super boyfriend I have."Michael ignored, "Can we continue dude?", Michael said, ordering his barber to continue what he was doing."I came to have my hair regelled so I saw you and thought you could just order me a fresh hairdo so we could look new altogether. No one would look good and have his woman look the other way round, is that?" Diane continued again."For your information Diane or whatever it is you are called, I am not your super boyfriend and will never be. Not ever again. If you need Will, I believe you have a cell phone in your hand to call him."Just when Michael Guterson uttered that statement, his phone be
