The night was drawing closer, and so was Monica's birthday party. Wherever the venue for the birthday party was, it was sure to become filled with students, as every student on the campus was anxious to know what Walter had to say about Isaiah. They all were thirsty for the gist to be spilled. To them Monica's birthday was merely just a side show to the whole event. Something that they really would not have shown up for if there was not a promise to reveal something to all of them.Of course this was not something they said out loud. It was obvious, so obvious that the only people that could ever deny it were Monica and her boyfriend, Harold."What do you think this secret is that Walter intends to tell about Isaiah?" One student asked, strolling across the campus with another student."I don't know, but I think it is very serious stuff," the other one replied. "There have been some really shady things going on these days with everyone. From Isaiah to Jenny and even Walter and the ne

"What?" The question resounded across the hall, from all different mouths, all except from Don Bonito."What do you mean I'm not Roberto?" Atorro asked fiercely. "Who else could I be but myself?"Bonito's sons moved forward, each standing before Atorro to inspect what their father had said."I have truly become very old." Don Bonito began. One could hear the raging rumbling in his throat. "But if you think you can fool me, you're already fooling yourself. Now I am giving you a chance to explain yourself and tell us who you really are, or else.""I am Atorro," he defended. "You must have gotten blind, old man."Atorro received a smack once again from Lorenzo for that. This time his eyes got swollen from it.Costa marched upwards to him, his grey eyes inspecting every inch of his face. Atorro stayed firm, as if knowing that any move could get him killed. Costa was the least hot-blooded among the Gambino trio, but that only meant that he was cold and calculative and had no qualms about

Walter tried to watch James get away. But as he leaned back on the wall, he had a the time when he had told everyone that he had gotten Isaiah captured and would have him beg him on video, but what came after was a total embarrassment that made him skip classes for nearly two days because of it.On one end of his mind, he really just wanted to have Isaiah embarrassed, and whether or not it was the truth just wouldn't matter. But then he did not do what Isaiah might have as a plan. It was even more suspicious, as Isaiah did not seem to be plotting anything and actually seemed quite relaxed that there was something embarrassing about him about to be revealed to everyone in school.The old Walter would have believed that Isaiah was just too comfortable being a loser and that he would let it all slide, since it could not go any worse for him. But the new Walter had gotten the impression that Isaiah was not infact comfortable being a loser. He had a reputation at stake, and this reveal

Isaiah was now in a dilemma. In his head, the song of the boy band mixed up with all the thoughts, making everything jumbled up in there. "Isaiah, are you alright?" Jenny said, noticing his absentmindedness. "What are you thinking about? I don't think your mind is right here at all.""I am alright," Isaiah said. "I am just a bit tired of this party. Why doesn't Walter just come do the reveal already? Why is he keeping us waiting?""I did not know you were in such haste for this," Jenny observed. "I am. Why shouldn't I be?"Meanwhile, Walter was now at Monica and Harold's table."Where the hell have you been, man?" Harold asked, terribly surprised to see him right at the table. We have been waiting and looking all over the place. Jules was even beginning to think that you had been kidnapped by Isaiah.""Ha!" Walter laughed. "That's a very funny story if it were ever to happen. I don't think Isaiah is that stupid?"Harold looked at Isaiah closely. "What do you mean, he is not that s

Isaiah received a slap from Jules's cold and still sweaty palm. Her face was contorted. Everyone around had heard what Isaiah had said.Isaiah felt his cheeks sting but made a grin amidst it all—his lips broadened up in a mocking manner.Jules stepped back, feeling quite embarrassed. She turned around to see everyone looking at her, whispering. They had all heard, she thought.Tears raced down her cheeks, stained with mascara. "Why would you say that to me, Isaiah?" Jenny, Luke, and Jackson stared at Isaiah like he was a totally different person. Isaiah was never the type to denigrate someone with words. It was almost as though he had been taken over by a demon. Isaiah at this point became suddenly affected by all of it. What had he done? What had he allowed the system to do? He was suddenly filled with remorse, and slowly but surely, his wide and mocking grin began to disappear. It would have gone down all smoothly if Jules hadn't added something more."You know I loved you, and th
