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
THE DRIVE"IT'S NOTHING, I WANT YOU TO PLEASE HELP ME SIGN THESE DOCUMENTS, WILL RICHARDSON'S SON IS IN POLICE CUSTODY. Only these documents confirming he's the highest shareholder of the G.G's Place would allow him live."Mama G was right behind, seated in the sleek Limou. Michael Guterson didn't know."Will Richardson?", Michael tried to inquire from his grandmother. "Yes, Will Richardson". Mama G said.Granting his grandmother's wish shouldn't be something he should hesitate to do, no matter what it is. Michael Guterson thought."Michael pleaseee… Don't do this to me. Pleaseee.. You know I love you.""Shall we, Sebastian?" Michael Guterson said, without trying to inquire where the documents were, quickly taking off his body from Diane as he never wanted his grandmother to know what was really going on."Everything okay?" Mama G inquired."Everything is fine Grandma. Just classmates from the dorm." Michael said, shying away from anything that would lead him to mention Diane to his
PLAYGROUND "Do take care of yourself Elegant Young Master", Sebastian said, as he bid Michael Guterson farewell.But Michael's attention wasn't even on Sebastian. Seeing Dave at the pitch would be hell. Since the past weeks, the gang-up between Will and him was just so much."Where you see people who aren't in your class, why would you consider being there?"A strange voice echoed. Michael turned, it was a tall, blonde-haired guy he had never seen in Coles before."I know you probably don't even know me. But who does not know the only Gutter we have in Coles?" Fred, a first-year student just admitted into Coles continued.But how would they all confuse him this way? Michael thought. They just hailed him, probably when Diane was at his knees, and now, a first-year student was telling him gibberish. If only they had known who he was. But didn't the sleek Limou that came pick him the other day tell them enough?Does he have to officially reveal himself as a rich young master? Michael
NOT NOW Michael Guterson had no option, he would leave, he never wanted any avoidable trouble on him again. But if only Dave knew who he was now, that he was really a rich young master, that he was now an heir, and not just an heir, but one to an Empire; the Guterson's Empire. But what about his reputation? Would the boys all tag him a thief? Would Dave explain he only wanted him out of the space? Maybe he should just return to the mansion, Michael thought. He stood up to leave. Not because if he stays, he can't contain the trouble with Dave, but because he still needs no trouble. At least, for his mental health. His phone was buzzing, few kilometers away from the dorm. "My sweet girl", he still hasn't changed Diane's name the way he had it saved to his phone already. "Completely not worth it," Michael Guterson muttered to himself, immediately heading to the 'edit' part of his phone contacts as he changed Diane's name to what it is. "Diane Ross." "Or maybe I just have it d
Michael Guterson didn't know when those words slipped out of his mouth. Mr. Victor and the walls might have just heard him.Dave turned, giving Michael Guterson a depressing look."Gutter,"But that was just where he should be. A form of concentration and understanding tends to be at the particular place Michael loves to sit. He can't even lie to himself.He headed straight there and immediately made grasp of a seat.All new. Coles had just changed the look of its library. The chairs looked as if they were brought straight from the work area. The seats are padded with soft foams to give a different kind of comfort while students study; an area for the back, and an armrest just so one wouldn't get tired on time.Michael Guterson's seat was close, but adjacent to Dave's.Michael Guterson thought a "good morning" wouldn't be bad, but his lips just couldn't let out, although humility had always been his thing.Dave was known for arrogance. Expecting a 'good morning' from him to anyone s
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
