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
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
