Chosen By The System To Play God

"Teresa?!" Adrian finally found his voice, but he had to mention her name one more time before she could notice his presence. And even then, she didn't seem to care."Oh... Adrian". She mumbled nonchalantly."What are you doing?" He was unsure of what else to say. His eyes were shooting red already, he couldn't believe what he was seeing."Making out with my new boyfriend," she faced him again, smiling flirtingly. He could see Ricardo's face under the bright lights above them. He had an evil smirk printed all around, as if he had been waiting patiently for this day. He was the ladies man, the dream of every girl. And now, Adrian's Teresa included. Adrian still could not believe it. He had thought that even if every girl swoon over the Italian kid for his father's money, Teresa would certainly be different. Was he wrong all along?"But... Us..." He stammered and staggered, eyes fixed on Teresa. She only burst into a wild laughter which brought silence to the room as everyone directed

A well dressed gentleman was standing behind the guards. He looked like a very rich fellow, and the guards seemed to respect him as he walked towards them."But sir...""No buts", he interrupted, raising his right hand in the air. Then he bent forward and lent a hand to Adrian. "I heard everything. Let the young man come."As Adrian came to his feet, the man shook his hand. "My name is James Halton, I am Mr Rodriquez's personal assistant. I heard everything you said about Miss Lyana. Are you sure about what you are saying?"Not that he was super sure, but the system had been his informant. So far, everything the system said had been true. He could heal from serious injuries in a matter of seconds. He could locate Lyana without having any prior idea of where she might have been. If the system was right in all of that, then it must be right about her life being in danger."Yes sir. I am sure about this.""And you think you can save her?"About that, he didn't know what he was needed to

The university was not the best place to be today. From the very first minute that Adrian laid foot into the environment, the toxicity of the atmosphere stiffened his breathe tight. Every person who saw him would giggle or frown or shake their heads before deeping their faces back into their phone screens. It didn't take long to realize something was going on."What is going on?" He wondered. "Is this because of what happened last night?"Of course the entire school was present when Ricardo had his boys ship him out like unwanted cargo many hours ago. Everyone who witnessed it was eager to make fun of him, like Mrs Huddersfield and Billy. But there was more with the way they all looked at him. Like some criminal who had committed a grievous crime. There must be something more going on around here."Hey system", he whispered. "Can you help me out here?""Absolutely!" The system voice chimed in his head. "It appears there are several video clips of you going viral on the internet as we

Adrian walked out of the School Board of Judges' presence with his pride restored. Although he was unable to prove the terrible allegations as vile and false, he was able to give them something to think about. He enjoyed watching their faces go blue, especially Donald McMahon, he nearly lost his balance in shock. Teresa looked as if she had seen a ghost, she could not speak another word till Adrian walked out in all calmness. Their eyes followed him all the way out and he could still feel their stares on his back as he left the premises for a closure to the day."Hey!!"He heard rushed footsteps calling behind him.Turning around, Adrian was not suprised to see his ex girlfriend. Teresa stopped right in front of him, running out of breathe."What did you do back there?" She managed to find her lungs again."What? I just paid my bills like a man should. Is there anything I can do to help you?"Her eyes darkened in annoyance. It was as if he struck her ego unknowingly. Her brows curled

"Luck?" James Halton smirked. "You see, Mr Blood. Here's one thing about me: I don't believe in luck. You came by the hospital the other day too and you knew exactly what was going to happen to Miss Lyana and just how to prevent it. That is not luck. It is something else. Is there something you don't want to reveal to us?"It looked like he was getting suspicions now. Adrian couldn't stand there for any more minute."Mr Blood has gone through so much today trying to save me." Lyana interrupted. "Surely you can discuss this later, James.""Oh I'm sorry, Miss Lyana." He extended his handshake. "We will talk later, Mr Blood. I have to tidy things up here."As he walked away, Lyana apologized for James Halton's crudeness."Mr Halton has been assigned to protect me since when I was a little girl, it is only natural for him to be a little over defensive.""No problem." Adrian responded, ready to leave."Wait," she held him back. "My father is hosting a grand dinner tonight in celebration of
