Jeffrey yawned as he stood up from the couch. He checked his phone and realized it was 8:30
“Mother earth!” He exclaimed. ” I have a cla-ss by 9am..
“In a hurry?” Granny Pamela asked from behind.
“Grandma.. Jeffrey called. “Good morning grandma.. he added
“Hope you slept well?” Granny Pamela asked and he nodded.
“Breakfast is ready.. She said and immediately violet walked out of the room, yawning widely while ru-bbing her eyes.
“Where are your manners young lady? Granny Pamela asked while she opened her eyes and they landed on Jeffrey who was giggling
“What are you still doing here? Don’t tell me you wanna skip cla-sses.. she whisper-yell awkwardly
She was embarra-ssed.
“You’re skipping cla-sses?” Granny Pamela faced Jeffrey

“What’s this?” Granny Pamela asked opening the envelope
“Yesterday’s pay” She replied
“Wow.. you made this?” Granny Pamela exclaimed and violet nodded.
“That’s why I need to rest properly for another job today” She said and made to walk to her room when her grandma pull her back

The Xiao’s mansion
“I’m home.. Jeffrey announced and walked into his room. He laid on the bed thinking about violet when his mom walk up to him
“So you still aren’t satisfied after seeing her face all night? His mom spoke
“Gosh mom, you startled me. He said and sat upright. “Wait, haven’t I told you to stop entering my room without knocking? What if I was na-ked?” He frowned
“See my son talking about na-kedness now. I hope you know it wasn’t quite long since you stopped running na-ked around the house? ” His mom scoff
“So did you have the chance to tell her?” She asked sitting closer to him.
“Mom, you know I can’t, I’m scared. He replied
“Why? You’ve been friends from childhood and she likes you a lot so why are you afraid? She asked
“Yeah, she likes me… but just as a friend” Jeffrey replied sadly
“You wouldn’t know if she likes you or not unless you take a bold step and ask her about her feelings for you. His mom said and he nodded
“Anyway, I will be late for school if we keep chitchatting.. He said and his mom nodded.
“What about dad? Jeffrey asked
“He came back with a broken head last night, though he didn’t tell me how he got the wounds and now, he has gone back to work.. his mom explained
“Hmm.. Jeffrey breathe out before proceeding to the bathroom while his mom left his room.
He was done minutes later and walked out of his room a for breakfast. He ate hurriedly since he was late
“See you soon mom. He said and ran out of the house. He board a cab and headed to school at once.
He was somehow sad he didn’t get to see violet before going to school

Ryan alighted from the car. He inhaled de-eperly as he looked around the school.
“It would have been fun if you were here right? I wouldn’t have been this lonely and sad right? Ryan thought as he stared at the building one more time
“I will be on my way now young master… Brown said and Ryan nodded
“Wait, Ryan said and he ( brown ) face him
“Can you teach me how to drive? I don’t want to be stressing you all the time” he said and Brown couldn’t reply, he just stood baffled.
That was the first time Ryan would ever start up a conversation with him and it was also the first time he’ll be asking him ( Brown) for a favor
“Sure Sir, why not? anytime you’re ready, I’m ready.. Brown bowed and Ryan nodded.
Brown immediately un-derstood he wouldn’t be saying a thing afterwards so he entered the car and drove off.
Ryan made to take a step when he heard his name. At first he wanted to ignore but the person didn’t stop calling out his name
? Ryan is here.. The girls shouted loudly and he could feel his head spinning. His vision was becoming blurry but he close his eyes momentarily and open them back
His Vision became clear again and he proceeded to cla-ss ignoring the girls
“That dude has a very stubborn Personality ” Jeffrey sigh as he ran to meet him
? Is Jeffrey trying to be friends with Ryan?
? it’s a failed mission cause I’m sure Ryan would never agree to be his friend
? Gosh, Ryan keeps getting more handsome everyday
Jeffrey ignored them until he got into cla-ss too
Ryan was already seated with his headset placed on his ears since he didn’t want anyone to disturb him
He was nodding his head and moving his feet slowly as he listened to the music
Jeffrey heave a sigh and walk up to him. He removed the headset and Ryan gave him a deadly glare
“I’m Sorry” Jeffrey apologize
Ryan snatched the headphone from him and wore it again. Jeffrey removed it from his ears again which got Ryan angry
“What’s your problem?” Ryan asked trying ha-rd not to get angry
“Nothing just wanted to make friends with you. I know you are lonely, something might had happened in the past that made you like this. But, I’m really a good person… Let’s be friends ” Jeffrey said while Ryan just stared at him
“Try har-der then… Ryan said and snatch his headphone from him before putting it on again.
Jeffrey shook his head before walking to his seat. He is in the same department as Ryan. Remy is in their department too but he hardly attended lectures

Justin snapped his eyes open. He realized it was morning already. He stood up from his bed and he felt his head spin
“fu-ck…he gro-an and held his head. He managed to leave his room to the bathroom. He cowered Infront of the toilet seat and started vomiting.
“Justin are you okay?” Remy asked walking into his room
“Yeah I’m in the bathroom.. he manage to replied.
“You must’ve drank too much last night.. Remy said, sitting on Justin’s bed.
Justin wasn’t that good at drinking alcohol, anytime he does, he always wakes up with headache and he end up vomiting.
“It seems there’s no school for us today.. Reece said walking into Justin’s room too
“I agree, it seems our drinks were spiked last night at Vie bar”.. Fargo said from the door
“If that was true, we wouldn’t have been able to leave there last night”. Remy said
“Since there’s no school, let’s go make some hangover soup and after that, let’s take a tour round Hong Kong”Remy said excitingly
” I support that ” Fargo winked and they all left the room.

~~ Mara’s hostel
“Claire what do you think I can do to make Ryan love me?” Mara asked, getting dressed for school
“Absolutely nothing. Claire replied, chewing gum while Mara frowned
“Don’t get me wrong, I mean a guy that is lonely, sad, and you ba-rely know him. How do you expect him to love you?” Claire asked
“But I’ve known him for a month and more now… I know his dad and…
“And? Him right? You know nothing about him, you don’t even know if he has siblings or not, whether he has a mom, and you expect him to like you a girl he ba-rely knows? Don’t be ridiculous Mara. Not that I don’t support your feelings for him, but instead of running after him, why don’t you make him love you?” Claire cut in
Claire was her best friend and their families were friends too
“How? Mara asked curiously
“Firstly, try getting close to him…
” That’s impossible” Mara said
“It’s not, you can start by asking him to help you with your a-ssignment and.. Claire didn’t complete her statement when Mara ran out of the room
“But I’m not done yet. Claire shout after her but Mara gave deaf ears until she got to cla-ss
She brush the strands of hair covering her face to the back of her ears, she removed her li-pstick from her bag and applied it before pulling her skirt up slightly,
She loose a bu-tton from her shirt , exposing her bo-obs a little before walking fully into cla-ss
Ryan still had his headset on until he felt someone blocking the ray of sun that shone on his face slightly.
He opened his eyes and they landed on Mara. The other students stared at their direction waiting for what will happen next.
“Hey Ryan.. Mara called, playing with her hair with a smile plastered on her face.
Ryan shook his head as he stared at her disgustingly.
He removed the headset and faced her properly.
“What do you want?” He asked calmly and she smiled, sitting closer to him. He stood up immediately with a frown
“Relax, I mean no harm. Just that I have some difficulties with my a-ssignment so I was hoping you could help me with it. She bit her li-ps slightly
Ryan stared at her before facing Jeffrey.
“You said you want us to be friends right?” He asked and Jeffery just stared at him, confusedly
“I told you to try har-der right? He asked again and the cla-ss gasped
? He is fu-cking talking..
? Gosh, it feels like a dream
He took mara’s book and walked to Jeffrey.
“You can start from here. Help her with the a-ssignment.. Ryan dropped the book Infront of Jeffrey then walk out of cla-ss.
