"Jack, you finally made it. Took you long enough." Ethan said as he returned to Sarah's side and they noticed Jack walk in.Jack walked happily with his arm candy towards Ethan as he greeted and hugged both Sarah and Ethan.“Took you long enough” Sarah said to Jack with her eyes staring at the lady beside Jack.“It's not what you think guys” Jack said as soon as he noticed Ethan and Sarah staring suspiciously.“Ethan and Sarah, this is Lydia. And Lydia dear, these are my friends, Sarah and Ethan” Jack continued.Lydia walked over to hug Ethan and Sarah with her auspicious smile and they smiled back at her.“So, what's the story with you two? Are you dating or?” Sarah started with an expectant look for a continuation.Lydia and Jack laughed as Ethan and Sarah stared confusingly then Lydia spoke up, “Oh no, we're not dating. We are childhood friends and since you both came as a pair, he asked me to join him and get a chance to meet his friends and I couldn't say no. He has those puppy e
"You deserved that." Sarah spat at Ted before walking away with Ethan, Jack and Lydia."But how did that just happen? I mean how did Ted lose everything in one swift move." Lydia asked with curiosity written all over her features."They probably found out that instead of using the original materials that were supposed to be used for the brand, Ted got greedy and used substandard materials instead." Jack tried explaining"Plus, I had everything streamed live, so that must've dealt the final blow to his bullshit." Ethan smiled mischievously, wiggling his phone in his hand."Thanks man for having my back." "Hey, hey, hey, you would do the same for me."Jack and Ethan bro-hugged before Lydia broke the bonding moment and said,"Enough with all the mushy mushy. I heard there's supposed to be a homecoming king and queen at this reunion. Something like back in the days in highschool and college.""Yeah, I heard that too, but I'm not interested. Are you?" Sarah threw the question to Lydia."I
"Enough of the scrawny looks on our faces. They would think they had an effect on us if we keep on like this." Lydia sighed, as she rubbed Jack's back."She's right. We can't keep giving them that satisfaction." Ethan said to the group."What are we doing standing around here? Let's get the dance floor lit." Sarah said, trying to lift the mood and turn their frowns to a smile.Sarah pulled Ethan to the dance floor with her and soon enough, Jack and Lydia joined them.While on the dance floor, two of their colleagues begun whispering,"I heard Ethan and Sarah want to run for homecoming king and queen against Melissa and Jason.""Ethan and Sarah are just wannabees. They would never match up to Melissa and Jason.""Right!!! I wonder what I was thinking when I almost walked over to Ethan to talk to him when he walked in here looking like some charming prince.""You forgot that he was the pauper that was kissing Melissa's ass back in the day.""Hahaha.." Both of them burst out laughing."I
“Woah! The energy here is off the roof!!!” the compere said with a smile, trying to calm everyone and make it look like it was part of an act.“Hand over what is mine, you cheating slut!” Melissa screamed, as she rushed towards Sarah but was stopped by the compere.Sarah held onto Ethan's arm tightly like a little child who had just seen a ghost.“This year's reunion sure is creative! I like this. Having a paid actress to fight for the crown, showing the importance of the crown in one's life. Please let's give it up for the organizers of this year's reunion.” the compere said, while signaling the security nervously.The crowd laughed so hard at what the compere just said and Melissa kept on hearing murmurs from the crowd,“She's so miserable”“She’s like an 80 year old lady seeking validation from a children's pageantry. It's so sad”“What a sore loser”“I wouldn't want to be her”Melissa pulled on her hair as she knelt on stage in frustration and screamed out,“You all are nothing in
"Baby!!! You look like you just got hit by a truck, what happened?" Claire inquired, as Melissa and Jason walked through the door."C'mon mom, it's not that bad." Melissa said, trying to console herself with how terrible she looked and felt."Not thay bad, huh? Jason is literally limping and your mascara is all over your face like you cried. What happened at the reunion?" Melissa and Jason fell unto the couch, fatigued.Before they could respond to all the questions that Claire was throwing at them, Eric came storming down the stairs,"What the heck did you two do now? Why are the Grahams trending again, for the wrong reasons? I thought I gave a stern warning concerning that?"Jason was groaning in pain as he had sprained his ankle from the fall.Melissa begun wailing after Eric yelled at her and Jason."Mom, Dad, everything is ruined and it's all Ethan's fault.""Ethan's fault? What did he do this time?" Claire asked impatiently."Ethan.." Jason was about to explain what happened, w
“How about doing something that he would never be forgiven for and no one will want to side him on?” Henry suggested.“Yes? But that's almost impossible, he won't do anything like that. He's too much of a righteous being when it comes to the things he does and doesn't” Melissa chipped in.“So what do we do about that?” Claire questioned.“Can we set him up and make him do it? By drugging him or any means necessary?” Eric added.“Who said anything about him doing anything? Henry said as he sat upright on the couch.With everyone staring at him expectantly and their eyes signaling him to continue with sharing the details of his plan, he began to explain, “What if we can find someone that will be willing to blackmail him for doing something unforgivable and we can forge proof with Photoshop. The Internet doesn't do much research with these sensitive matters, they mostly just go with the ladies' story. If we can use that to our advantage, he'd be locked up for life”.“That's a brilliant i
Hello, Why are you not home yet?” Henry said on the phone. He had gone back to an empty house he had rented for her but coming home to the empty house wasn't quite unusual.“I…I went to see mom. The doctor called so I had to rush over, I should have called to inform you, I'm sorry about that.” Kehlani said hurriedly knowing fully well what reaction would follow the situation.“Well, get here. Now.” Henry ended the call abruptly, then tossed his phone on the couch.He reached to lessen the pressure of his tie while striding towards the mini bar. A smile curled on his lips as he thought about the plan he's about to actualize.He got hold of a bottle of bourbon before he could think of an actual choice of drink. He chose the bottle of bourbon because it tends to help him think better.The sound of a closed door drew him out of oblivion, he checked his watch to find out that an hour had gone by.“Took you long enough.” He said blandly. His eyes moved up and down her figure, and a smile t
“Good day sir, please help me” Kehlani said, as she dropped slowly to the floor with her injured forehead bouncing off the hospital tiles.“Somebody help her! Nurses! Doctors! Help!” Ethan cried out as he saw the young lady look up to him helplessly before she passed out.A team of doctors and nurses ran out and lifted the patient onto a stretcher and admitted her to be treated, while Ethan waited to make sure she was okay.Ethan paced back and forth the waiting room as his thoughts raged free enough to make him scared for the lady.“Who could she be?“She fell so abruptly, will she need surgery?”“I hope she gets better,” Ethan whispered under his breath.“Mr. Ethan?” A nurse called out.“Yes? That would be me” Ethan replied as his body trembled with thoughts of what the news could be .“Sir, the patient you brought to our attention is stable but she's unconscious. Do you know her name and other details we could write down in her file?” The nurse asked with a smile.Ethan heaved a si
