Why asking? Did the nurse tell you someone paid?" Phill asked, almost chuckling at Joe's face expression.

"Well Yes. I mean, she said JEFF paid the bill, so that's why I'm asking," Joe explained.

On hearing this, Mike and Phill navigated their attention on Jeff . "You paid your bills yourself?" Mike asked Jeff .

Seeing no other way out, JEFF nodded. "Yeah I did. The nurse came asking for the money, so I paid up," He said to them.

Joe, Mike and Phill are surprised to hear this. "Jeff , where did you get the money to pay the bill?" Joe asked him.

"Well, I...I had some money in my account that I've been saving. I decided to pay my bill from there since the nurse kept giving me a creepy look," JEFF said, not telling his roommates the whole truth.

"But we promised we were going to pay the bills. We're sorry that you had to make the payment," Phill said, feeling upset.

JEFF chuckled and told them it was fine. "It's okay. You don't have to feel bad. You guys have done so much for me and I really appreciate it. Thanks," he appreciated.

The three roommates smiled at JEFF and poked him on the head, teasing him.

"You got us all scared dude, especially you Joe," Mike said, bumping Joe hard on the shoulder.

Joe groaned and tried to hit Mike back, but a doctor passing them cleared his throat and glared at them.

The four guys quietly left the hospital and made their way home.

On the way home, Phill decided that they use out of the money they had wanted to use and pay Jeff 's bill, to get some takeout.

They arrived at an eatery and stopped there to get something. They entered the eatery and ordered some food.

"Here you go," A young lady said, handing the guys their takeout.

"Thank you," Mike said, stretching his hand over the counter and grabbing the food for them.

Joe brings out the cash from his pocket to make the payment. The young lady points at a man at the other side of the counter.

"Please make your payment to him," She said, smiling at the guys.

"Oh, okay then. I'm coming." Joe walked over to the counter to make the payment.

Jeff , who stood with his friends, couldn't help but stare at the system that appeared his eyes again.

He was staring at the money in his mysterious account. Wondering where the money came from and how he got the system inside of his.

Just as he was looking, JEFF noticed the lady over the counter looking at him. She had a smile on her face.

JEFF wondered if he had in anyway done something embarrassing without knowing. He looked at Phill and Mike but doesn't see them looking at him.

It was clear that he didn't do anything silly. He glanced back at the young lady. The lady blushed and secretly waved at him.

JEFF is surprised at this. He waved back at her back. "I've we met before?" JEFF asked her openly.

Phill and Mike heard him speak. They looked and met him staring at the lady behind the counter.

The lady gets nervous and turned her attention away from JEFF quickly. JEFF wondered what happened.

"Dude, what's wrong?" Mike asked Jeff . JEFF says nothing and turns his attention away from the lady.

Joe paid the money and walked back to meet the others. "Come on, let's go," He said, taking two of the takeout from Mike.

They headed for the door and stepped out. JEFF had wanted to look back at the lady behind the counter, but he fails to because of Phill. He placed his arm around Jeff , talking about something.

The young lady watched them leaving. She feels upset and resumes with her work. Attending to a different customer.

.

 Night came, the guys where in their room sleeping on their bed. The ground was littered with empty takeouts.

 JEFF was still awake. He laid on his bed gazing at the system, wondering how all these came to be.

"It's already late Jeff . Shouldn't you be resting?" The system suddenly asked Jeff .

JEFF heard it speak. He sighed and sat up right, with his back against the wall. He looked at his friends to be sure they were all sleeping.

Seeing that they were sleeping, JEFF decided to question the system. "What are you? How did you end up in my head?"

"I'm Anonybrum, according to my creator. An Anonymous Cerebrum system," the system said. Showing an image of a brain rotating.

JEFF gets confused on the name, but grabbed immediately. "Wait, by your creator? Can you tell me who this creator is?" He asked curiously.

Just as the system is about to speak, JEFF heard Phill speak. "Dude, who are you talking to?" He asked, groaning and sitting up.

"No one,"He said and laid down back on the bed. He watched Phill lay down back and sleep.

"Will you like to proceed with your questions Jeff ?" The system asked Jeff .

JEFF glanced at the image of the brain in his head then at Phill. He doesn't want to wait any of his roommates with his questions.

JEFF decided to postpone the question till the morning. "No, let's end it here for now," He whispered.

"Affirmative. It's time to rest now," The system said before disappearing from Jeff 's view.

JEFF laid on his bed, thinking of his new found riches. A smile appeared on his face as he thought about all the things he could do with the money.

"I've always wondered what life would be when one is filthy rich. I guess it's time to find that out," He said in his thought.

He thinks of all the things he had dreamt of doing. That's when his mind went to Ashley.

He hasn't forgotten about her and her future husband Trent. What they did to him today, instructing company's not to hire him, JEFF wasn't going to let them go freely without a fight.

    Halttttt!!!The whole assembly had their feets synchronized at the same. There was the commander with the brown huge binoculars trying to get through the four runs of the school arena. Less people were found outside and the few were seated among themselves playing casual board games. "We would all need to maintain good spots all over the place. My snap is okay to serve as a call to action", the Commander growled. Squinting his eyes,with his speared forehead the assembly answered in unison to the order. They all found their way into the school, a small fraction of the battalion had joined Tasi,the commander. The rest of the clan warriors found their way into the school. The gates were now shaken, the school's security men rushed towards the gate and hid behind the door as the faction of the Theo clans stormed in.

As he scoops the water, he sees a distorted image of one of the pigeons dropping its poop. Naku lifts his gaze towards the source of the reflection, the bird,not too far from him.

The pigeon suddenly flies away, as though it was scared by something.Suddenly, he hears the roars of an angry mob, drawing closer. "How do they keep finding me?" He asks himself.
