" I told you not to call my phone any more!" Eva shouted at the mysterious caller while I had to wait right by the door. I heard everything.I heard it all.It was leaking longer than usual. My heart thud loudly as I waited by the door in anticipation for my mother's return. I heard her gentle sob and I knew this was not going to be easy.I wonder who was the man that had made my mother cry. I walked Stealthy back to where she left me.[ SYSTEM VOICE; COUNT DOWN WILL BEGING IN SOME MOMENT TIME. ]My breathing felt shallow as my gaze turned pale. I kept looking at the door wondering when she was going to open. Wondering if she was still crying but then the door pried open and she walked out with a smile on her face.What!Didn't I hear the gentle sob of my mother right now?Was she faking it all along?" I know you heard that." Eva said staring at me.I hated calling her Eva due to some weird reason. Martha sounded fine to me." No, I didn't." I said looking at my feet.She knows I was

My face went pale. I could hardly believe what was going on. The sound of the camera lights and the background whispering of the students was all I could hear. Felicia looked at me and smiled. "Was that your first kiss?" She asked, staring at me. I had always envisioned my first kiss to be special. But it was stolen by someone I had no feelings for. "Why did you do that?" I asked, staring at her. "Do you even care when you see Rykard throw me against the lockers'?" I asked, staring at her face. "I am sorry, but that was to make Rykard jealous. I don't want him anymore. I want you." Felicia said again, and the whole class giggled. I am having conflicted emotions right now. Cassie was playing a mind game with me, and I wasn't sure what she really wanted from me. Right now, I was the hot boy everyone wanted on campus. It was going to be a shame to let all of that go to waste. "Will you be my date to prom?" Felicia asked again, putting me even in a tighter position. My eyes da

My heart thudded and beat fast.I wasn't sure; maybe it was from the anticipation of the next mission, or maybe it was from the way Cassie had treated me coldly. I have a lot going on for me at the moment, and to think that she could leave me when it mattered the most made it even harder. She was the perfect plan to make sure my mother doesn't know about the mysterious system. I was even beginning to wonder if it might have been my real father trying to connect with me. The system has come to me at my weakest. The money, the power and the missions all were in alignment with my daily life and routine. I know by now that I had to keep the mysterious phone away from prying eyes. Especially Jeremiah, who would see that I crashed and burnt. I watched Cassie walk away, and my attention shifted back to my system. [ SYSTEM UPGRADE] [ Congratulations, you have passed the few missions given to you. Your account will be upgraded to the next tiers. I waited as the phone went blank. I kep

"Huh." I said silently with my breath caught in my throat. The school erupted into a frenzy mode, with each of the students grabbing their phones to make a record of what just happened. "Did she just kiss him?" "Omg! I can't believe Pontius just kissed Precious!" "Is he going to see the president or something? He is gradually getting his future right." I could hear all their talks, but as I stood, everything faded into the background, and I wasn't sure what was going on anymore. One minute Precious and Jeremiah were arguing with Layla, claiming what was hers. And the next minute I was locking lips with Precious. I knew I was being used, but why does it feel damn good? The noise faded, and I saw the look on most of the kids' faces. They all were showing signs that they were squared off with me, but one person wasn't. He got mad with rage, and as he moved towards me, I didn't expect what he was going to do. Jeremiah sent a blow directly to my face, and I went bac

My breath was caught in my throat when the bandage was slowly removed from my face. Everything was dark. "Tell me what you see, Pontius." The doctor said "Nothing, Doc. I can't see a thing." I said I was almost bursting into tears. I held my lip in grief. "Is there anyone I can talk to?" The doctor asked again. "Perhaps, your father or mother." The thought of my mother seeing this way was going to break her heart. I couldn't go home looking blind. The thought of what to do gnawed at me, but nothing was coming to my head. "Can I stay at the hospital till I get better?" I asked "That is the problem, Mr Pontius. We need to see a legal guardian. We also need to let him or her know your condition too." The doctor said sadly, "My mother can come if I call." I finally said, almost in tears. The thought of becoming blind felt scary. Have you ever woken up and then all you see is total darkness? "Well, I would like to have your mother around and let her know what is going on. You need
