"Who the hell is that?!"
"Who thinks they can come in like this without being invited?!"
The other students in Molly's room complained after Johnathan interrupted them and they stopped what they were doing to focus on him.
When they all realized that it was him, their faces quickly changed to that of disgust.
"Look who is it"
"What is the human trash doing here?!"
They all sneered at Johnathan as they separated to go find their clothes to wear.
While everyone wore their clothes, something drew their attention which put smiles and laughs on their faces.
What they found amusing was that although they had stopped, Molly and Bradly were still going at it like nothing was happening. They were enjoying themselves too much to care.
Johnathan who could see that everyone else at least had the decency to stop when he came in got angry at his girlfriend and best friend.
Johnathan rushed to the bed where those two were, grabbed Molly's hand aggressively, and then pulled her off of Bradly.
"What the hell do you think you're doing Molly?! Why are you cheating on me and with my only friend for that matter?!" Johnathan asked furiously, pulling her away from Bradly more and when they stopped he started looking all around to find her clothes
Molly's uniform was the only girl uniform that hadn't been worn yet so it was easy to find. He found it by one of the bed frame's legs.
Johnathan quickly picked it up and gave it to her, saying "Here, put this one, right now!"
Expecting Molly to do what he just told her, Johnathan was completely shocked when she sneered at him and said "Don't you dare tell me what to do. You don't own me or my body!"
Johnathan's jaw gaped hearing this and even though Molly still went ahead to put the clothes on, he still couldn't believe that she could talk to him in the manner that she did and in front of all these people.
"Molly, why are you speaking to me like I'm some stranger? It's me, Johnathan, your boyfriend of the last two years. Did you forget?" Johnathan asked with his hand over his heart. He was devastated, heartbroken, and was doing his best not to cry.
Molly scowled at him some more as she buttoned the last button of her shirt.
She asked aggressively "And so what?! Okay Johnathan, since you want to play this game, then let's play it. In all the years we've been dating, what have you ever done for me that is something a boyfriend is supposed to do for his girlfriend, huh?!"
Johnathan grimaced dejectedly "What are you asking me, Molly? Haven't I been giving you half of everything I make in all my part-time jobs? Why are you acting like you don't remember all of that?"
The reason Johnathan didn't have enough money to go get a medical check-up in time was that he was giving Molly half of everything he made while the other half was for school. He barely had enough for upkeep.
Molly folded her arms and threw her face to the side, saying "Is that all? What does it matter that you give me half of your money when that half is nothing compared to what Bradly has spent on me in a single week, huh?"
Just then, a fully clothed Bradly who was smirking mischievously wrapped his arm over Molly's shoulder, showing Johnathan that she was his now.
Jonathan's eyes widened.
"Bradly, I thought you were my friend so why would you do this to me? You know how much I love and I've sacrificed for Molly so why would the two people I trust most in this world betray me like this?"
Bradly pouted his lips mockingly and said "Johnathan, always the sob story with you. If it isn't something with your adoptive parents then it's your manager at work not treating you fairly. When will you ever grow up?"
Bradly started to laugh and the others also joined him.
Bradly was the alpha in the entire school and nobody challenges him.
He was from a very wealthy family that owned multiple businesses around the country and his wealth is evident in how he is the only student who comes to school with a military escort every single day.
Bradly also has a collection of very expensive cars, jewelry, and clothes that he flaunts on social media to his tens of thousands of followers, especially female followers.
"Bradly, you're going to make fun of the things I confiding to you as a friend in secret? What did I ever do to you to deserve being treated this way?" Johnathan asked.
Bradly scoffed with disdain then left Molly and walked closer to Johnathan.
"I've always hated the fact that a pathetic broke loser like you ended up bagging the hottest babe in school before I got the chance to even make a move," Bradly said, poking Johnathan in the chest and pushing him back with every poke.
"At first I thought the relationship wouldn't last but when it did I knew I just had to do something. That's when I came up with the plan of pretending to be your friend. That way I got the chance to be close to Molly and what will you know, now we're on the same bed" Bradly smirked wickedly before he
punched Jonathan in the chest.Johnathan staggered back and fell on the floor. He started coughing because the attack was affecting his heart.
"Please don't hit me in my chest again, I'm not feeling too good" Johnathan pleaded as he tried to control his cough.
"Oh, what's wrong now?! Have you finally found out why you were never able to satisfy me emotionally or physically in our relationship yet?" Molly asked mockingly.
"Yes Molly, I have but I can't tell you here, not with everyone around so please let's go talk in private" Jonathan begged her.
"I don't even want to be seen with you, let alone talk to you in private, you loser. If you want to say anything then just say it or get out so we can continue what we were doing" Molly folded her arms and looked away.
Johnathan powered his way back to his feet and said "Alright Molly, I'll say it. I'm dying"

Why would you do that, take away the only thing that’s saving your life right now?!" Anthony asked while he grimaced.He pulled himself away from Franklin and then with the anger still in him but now also mixed with a state of confusion, he pushed a weakened Franklin to the ground."Just what the hell do you want from me?!" Anthony yelled in an exasperated manner, looking down at Franklin who was holding on to his neck and trying to breathe in as much air as he possibly could.Contrary to being the one who had inflicted pain on everyone else, physically or otherwise, Anthony looked like he was in more agony than anyone else, huffing and trying to find a way to get calm."Alright you fool, that's enough from you.

Chaos ran wild as many of the patients in the main entrance of The Meteor Garden hospital scattered for either their safety or as a knee-jerk response to Anthony and Franklin.Some were patients with high sensitivity like epilepsy, autism, or Tourette so the sudden act of violence was enough to trigger them.Being among the few staff there and a proactive one at that, the nurse behind the counter hurriedly grabbed the landline and put out a call."Can we get some medics over here in the main area, right now?! We need as much help as possible with handling the patients and also to put a stop to a visitor who's gone crazy!" she yelled into the mouthpiece then slammed the landline back on itself.The nurses were able to get to the more mentally balanced patients who only fell to the floor while trying to move away from Anthony and Franklin.As for those currently going crazy, they needed more serious help from the paramedics who were able-bodied enough to appropriately handle the situati

It's already way past his bedtime so he should be in bed sleeping. Is anything the matter?"]After hearing this, Anthony second-guessed himself on if Samuel was okay or not.Anthony thought that he might just be worrying for nothing. "It's nothing, I just wanted to call since it's been a while since I last did, that's all" he smiled["It has been a minute since you called but honestly I can't blame you, not when you and my husband have something so serious like Ama— Oh, sorry I mentioned that"] she covered her mouth.Anthony chuckled as a way to lighten the mood "You don't have to be ma, I also know how this has shaken your family so don't hold yourself on my account.

'The features, the resemblance, it's all so uncanny' Even in the intensity of the reproach, a conflicting thought lingered in Franklin's mind as he stared at Anthony.Anthony's face didn't undergo any negative changes after being accused, he remained as unfazed and stoic as ever "What are you talking about Sir, cheating in what game?""Don't play dumb with me kid, the others may have been too distracted to notice but I had my eyes on you the entire time and I know sleight of hand when I see it. Nothing can escape these trained eyes of mine" Franklin said."Okay sir, sounds like you're talking about a magic show you must have gone to. Sleight of hand? How does that have anything to do with me, a simple part-timer?" Anthony scrunched his eyebrows, tilting his head to the left."Why you!"

Instead, he was looking them straight in the eyes.Angry at Anthony, the manager wanted to address the topic but couldn't in their presence so he would have to remain quiet about it until they leave.However, what he didn't expect was that both VIPs didn't seem bothered about Anthony not acting overly subservient around them.
