I could barely believe what I was seeing. The system was giving me another chance.After weeks of waiting.Days of crying and agony. My mother could barely keep us alive from the change she made from the pharmacy shop. I could hear her groans from sleepless night but now that the system is back, I know I had to let her know.But then I needed to see what my first mission was going to be.[ SYSTEM INITIALISATION COMPLETE][SYSTEM REWARD FOR REBOOTING; $20,000,000][SYSTEM TASK: RECLAIM YOUR HOUSE]I looked at the holographic message and suddenly dropped the mop I was holding." No way! This can't be real." I shouted with joy.Fucking twenty million dollars!Who the hell gives twenty million dollars for just some weird task?[ SYSTEM VOICE; I DO ][ SYSTEM RULES; COMING RIGHT UP ]My face went pale as I kept my eyes fixed on the screen before me.For a few seconds, I forget where I was standing. I was supposed to be mopping the floor. But I was fixed to a spot, like I was in the system m
chapter nine
Beep... Beep...The sound of the monitor echoed softly in the sterile white room. My eyelids fluttered open, squinting against the harsh fluorescent light. My head throbbed. I could taste dried blood in my mouth. Slowly, my vision adjusted-and that was when I saw her."Mom?" I rasped.Eva stood by the window, arms crossed over her chest, her nurse uniform as crisp as ever. Her face was unreadable, and something about the way she looked at me made the room grow colder.For a split second, I thought she was just worried about her only son. But then she turned to me fully, eyes sharp, voice clipped."Pontius... what have you gotten yourself into?"I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my ribs. "Jeremiah... He-""I know," she interrupted. "And that's not the worst of it."I blinked. "What do you mean?"She moved closer, her shoes clicking softly against the tiled floor. "This hospital... it's owned by Jeremiah's father. He found out what happened. And guess what? You're not the

"Yes. I would like you to officially be my prom date and also can you.."I saw her walking closer to me and before I could say another word, her lips brushed against mine slowly.At that moment, the world titled around it axis. I felt like I was on cloud nine.The students all began to murmur and the whispering got so loud that I couldn't concentrate anymore.The sound of camera shutters from different phone filled the air and i smile as she grabbed my hands. " You just got yourself a deal, Pointus. But first you need to be on the same level with me." Cassie said looking at my face."Not exactly my level but the schools level." She added. "Here is my card. Call me when you want us to talk more about what I can do for you." Cassie said and walked away while some of her friends were had been staring at us wondering what as going on followed right behind her.Finally!I stood still and I coud see the anger on his face. Jeremiah looked at Cassie as she walked out and his gaze landed back

My mind thud heavily with only one thing.I needed to find Cassie Kline before any word of me taking her to the prom gets to her.I clinched to the book in my hands, my eyes scanning the school garden, parking lots and even the girls gym just to find her."Have you seen Cassie?""Do you know where Cassie is?”"Please are you friends with Cassie?"I let rumbling like an idiot as I bumped into students.One after the other, they all claimed the didn't know her. It was like Cassie never exist in the school.I was about losing hope when I bumped into a girl coming from the cafe.The hot chocolate fell all over me and I yelled in pain." I am sorry, I didn't see you there." I said immediately trying to help get the cup from the floor.I got up without looking and tried to dust my jackets. "That won't come off easily you know."She said finding my behaviour amusing."I will probably go and wash it in the male's toilet. Can I get you another one?" I finally said lifting my gaze to meet her a

I didn't even flinch when the door swung open with a sharp creak. Layla stood there, a venomous smile on her face, and I could see it in her eyes-the same smug, superior look that had followed me my entire life. But this time, I wasn't going to shrink back.She leaned against the doorframe,crossing her arms over her chest, clearly savoring the moment. Her voice dripped with that same condescension."Well, well, Pontius. I must say, I'm impressed. You actually managed to scrape together some cash. But tell me, how long do you think this façade will last? How long before you go back to being the pathetic little charity case you've always been?"I didn't blink. I didn't even bother with a smile. I simply tilted my head slightly, letting the silence stretch out between us. Her eyes flicked down to the designer jacket I'd just picked up this morning, and I could see the gears turning behind that perfect mask of hers. It was a mix of confusion and jealousy, and I wanted to drag it out for a
chapter five
The room went dead silent. My voice lingered in the air like smoke after a gunshot."How much?" I said with my eye locked on everyone in the seat. They all looked at me and wondered how a boy of my age could say that with boldness.Some of them actually think I was bluffing. They knew my mother worked a double shift and could not pay a cent. I had gotten in on scholarship so how could I have said that without attaching much to it.Mr. Hudson blinked slowly, like he wasn't sure he'd heard me right."Excuse me?" he said adjusting his big round glasses."I said, how much?" I leaned forward, ignoring the way my bruised ribs protested. "You want money? Fine. Name your price."The woman with the pointy nose shifted in her seat. The others exchanged glances. That wasn't the reaction they expected. I wasn't supposed to speak like this. I wasn't supposed to sit upright in my broken state, or sound like I could afford anything more than pity."I-I believe you should take time to think clearly,
