The In-laws Regret

Chapter 20

Nelson looked at Nelson. He really did not understand this kid. Other people when looking at him might just see a clueless kid who only knows how to cause trouble but he could not help thinking that there is something about that smile. As someone living under pressure himself, he felt that there is more to this kid. But he did not care about it much. "I already thanked you. What else do you want? For me to pay you? I don't think that you are that poor" Nelson said.

Nelson almost choked! What is Nelson thinking? Does he realize that he is talking to his helper right now? "Hey, do you know how much trouble i got into for helping you that day?" Nelson asked. He had still not forgotten what his brother and step mother did to him. Because he helped Nelson get away from those people that day, Lander is coming to this school. He knew that his step mother used that mistake to get her son to come to this school so that the both of them could whatch her. If this continued, Nelson was sure that the both of them will have to see a therapist for their paronioa.

Nelson looked at Nelson. No matter how much he looked at it, he was sure that there was more to this kid than meet the eye. But perhaps, that is something special. Every single student in this school, he was sure that not one single person had an easy life. Even if they have supportive families, being in Viants High is already too much for anyone. And that is because Viants High is not a school. From the outside, for people whatching, Viants High looks like a school but this damn place is very far from a school.

It's a space created for the 1% of society. A place where rich people can show off how much money they have. A place where you can do whatever they want because they had the money. It would be safe to say Viants High is a place where the kids of rich people are prepared to be heirs. A place where they learn just what money and influence can do in the society. So even if this kid in front of him has a story, it would be just one of many. There isn't any need for him to get involved. In fact, he did not want to get involved with anyone from this school. So he did not say anything to him.

Nelson too did not day anything else. He could see that Nelson was thinking about something. Sometimes, he wondered what it would be like to have the life of Nelson. His mother only has him as her son. His fatter, the rumours about his relationship with his wife was very popular. He really does love his love. To the extent that he is ready to do everything for her. He doesn't have any illegitimate children outside so Nelson does not have to worry about having to fight over inheritance with anyone in the future. He thought that Nelson had the perfect life. But as for him, he did not even ask to be born in the first place! The person who caused all of this is his father! He is the one who decieved a naive young woman and had an illegitimate child with her. His father should be the one suffering for this not him! Nelson did not even blame his mother for leaving. She had her own life. Why does she have to deal with a paranoid woman? He does not want anything. He has never asked for anything. But they just won't let him be!

The both of them were still lost in their thoughts when the door opened. It looked like the last student was here. Nelson gulped. He was sure that he was Lander. After all, it's that woman Vivian. Why should she give up such a powerful opportunity to torture him? Whether it was bribing or threatening, she will definitely find his room and find a way to get her son inside just to make things difficult for him. He just hoped that Lander won't find out about her. Since Lander is here does this mean that he won't be able to whatch her from the sides?

The door opened and someone walked in. But it wasn't Lander! Nelson looked again and again but it really was not Lander! Nelson was beyond happy. Looks like his step mother could not get to to the staff. Of course there is no way that she will be a match for MK group. She must have tried and failed. Nelson felt like jumping up and down and dancing. But it wasn't like that for Nelson at all. Immediately he saw the person his face darkened at once. What is this person doing here? Why is the person that he has to share a room with Mike?!

Nelson was beyond angry right now! Just what is going on right now! He would have been able to put up with it if it was just some student that he does not know. As long as no one of them gets in his way he won't do anything to them but can someone please explain to him why the person that he has to share a room with Mike? How is this possible? This school is doing this to him on purpose. Viants High is doing this to him on purpose right? Why does he have to share a room with Mike? What nonsense is this?

Just looking at him like this, all the memories of two years ago came flooding back. He did not want anything much. He just wanted to stay away from these people and focus on his life without having to remember anything of the things that happened. But they just don't know when to stop! Rachel keeps pestering him and now he has to be in the same room with Mike? "What the hell are you doing here? Why is the person that I have to spend a room with you? What is the meaning of all this nonsense? Did you do this on purpose?" Nelson asked. He knew that Mike would not do this. He just wanted to annoy him into leaving this place.

Mike too was surprised . . . and angry. Why does he have to share a room with Nelson? In fact why does he have to be in the same school with Nelson? Since he already said that he is leaving, he should do it completely. Since he already abandoned everything he should continue to do that. Why the hell did he have to come back to this place after two years have passed. It was already bad enough that he was still here and he could not leave even if he wanted to do so why did Nelson have to come back? Since he got out, he should stay out!

Why does he have to come back and reopen wounds for everyone? He and Rachel, they can have their stupid and crazy engagement even if he is not here! Why does he have to come back! He was angry and frustrated. Even after two years have passed, the both of them were still being pushed around by people. It was really so annoying! But Mike would never show what he was thinking on his face. Right now, there was a cold and passive look on his face. "I should be asking you what you are doing here. Why are you in my room? And why are you on my bed?" He asked. Immediately he walked in, that was the first thing he noticed.

Nelson jumped from the bed immediately. It was his bed. Well, it figured. Apart from him and Rachel, the next person would could enjoy things like this is Mike. His family is almost as influential as his. It was just that they weren't the owners of Viants High. If he wanted to have such a special treatment in school, he could definitely do it. So it was actually what Mike decorated for himself. The school wasn't giving him any special treatments at all! Nelson decided he would call his father and have a talk with the teachers. Who do they think he is?

Nelson made a decision. There is no way that he can put up with this something like this. They had better find way to get him out of this school. If they want him to stay here they had better give him his own room! It's bad enough that he had to share a room with two other people but one of those people is Mike? No he cannot do this at all! "Hey, I don't think there's a reason for us to beat around the bush like this. I really don't want to do it. You and I, there is no way that we can be in the same school. Why don't you just get lost? Leave! Transfer out!" Nelson said. He really can't put up with this. If Mike leaves, there is one less person to deal with.

Mike too was surprised . . . and angry. Why does he have to share a room with Nelson? In fact why does he have to be in the same school with Nelson? Since he already said that he is leaving, he should do it completely. Since he already abandoned everything he should continue to do that. Why the hell did he have to come back to this place after two years have passed. It was already bad enough that he was still here and he could not leave even if he wanted to do so why did Nelson have to come back? Since he got out, he should stay out!

He really wanted to leave this school. He wanted to leave this damn place disguised as a school! He wanted to get out more than anyone else! But he could not leave. Just because he wants to leave does not mean that he can leave. Because of his father. . . because of that man. . . ! "I don't know. I'm not sure about that. Why should I be the one who had to leave? The one who is uncomfortable should leave? Do you really think that you will be comfortable staying here? Since you already ran away once, wht don't you do it again and get lost?" Mike asked.

Mike and Nelson were staring daggers at each other now. No one wanted to back out of it. The both of them did not even want to do it, but because of their families, they constantly have to be pitted against each other. They constantly have to go against each other. Nelson did not say anything. He just stood by whatching the both of them. He could sense the tension between them. It was almost like the tension betweeen him and Lander. He had heard the rumours about Mike and Nelson.

He had heard rumours about it but he did not know what was true or not. Kids in Viants High were all talking about how Nelson, Mike and Rachel used to be so close but now they won't even speak with each other. What happened in the hall was proof enough. He heard Nelson had completely disregarded Rachel and said that he did not know her. But Mike had helped her out, probably to spite Nelson. If he was not sure before, the tension her is proof enough. What really happened between the both of them that their relationship is now like this?

Nelson thought of something. "I'm uncomfortable? Are you sure that I am the one who is uncomfortable? Are you okay with seeing that girl everyday? After everything that she did to you, don't you feel terrible to see her? Or are you still hoping that something can happen between you again? Is that why you helped her just now?" Nelson asked.

Mike glared at Nelson. How dare he bring that up?! Does he really not remember what happened? He really wanted to hit him but he held himself back. Thinking that he would do something terrible if he continued to see Nelson, he walked out of the room.

Immediately Mike walked out, Nelson brought out his phone. "Mom, find a way to talk to that man for me! I really can't stay here!"
