Chapter Ten
Nelson swiftly made his way to the engineering lab, feeling half tired already from the morning's happenings.Whenever he entered this particular lab, his nose would twitch to the smell of sawdust and old glue. Looking up, he noticed Mrs. Derry was already at the front, setting up the projector. She looked serious today, which meant they were in for some serious lecturing.“Morning class," she said, clicking to the first slide. Everyone in the lab quickly straightened up, stopped their chit chat and focused on the woman in front of them.Nelson sat in the fourth row, pulling out his note book and his lecture A4 paper handout. While doing so, he watched the first slide come into view. A building blueprint flashed on the screen. It was a tall, narrow tower with what looked like a decent foundation. "Today we'll begin preparing for your Engineering mock exam, students from all departments under the faculty of engineering will sit for this exam on the same day… of course this is just a m
Chapter Nine
Nelson rubbed his eyes gently as he woke up to the harsh sound of his alarm. It was way too early, still rubbing his eyes, he tried to shake off the sleep.The previous day felt like it happened a long time ago. He got out of bed and dragged himself to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth and splashed cold water on his face. That action helped wake him up fully and head downstairs.“Morning, everyone," Nelson said as he slid into the kitchen. The room was soft and yellow with morning light. He could see his Mom was already up and making breakfast using the grocery items he had purchased before.The meal was simple but it wasn't what his family were used to eating on a daily basis— bacon, eggs and hot dogs by the side.The simple meal reminded him that they didn't have much money but starting from the events of yesterday, he'd have something to do about it.His younger sister, Irene sat at the table with a cup of tea hovering under her breath. She didn't look cheerful or angry, she just
Chapter Eight
Nelson felt frightened for the first time all night but it didn't dare show across his face, he watched Derek's hand shoot out and clutch onto his arm right above the elbow.Fingers digging in hard enough to bruise but the padding of the suit Nelson wore seemed to provide enough protection.Nelson's nose twitched involuntarily as the smell of bourbon oozed out of Derek's breath, "Stay away from my sister," Derek hissed with a low and vicious voice. “She doesn't associate with trash,she was merely humoring you, nothing more.”Nelson looked down at the hand clasped around his arm. The he looked up at Derek's face, noticing the veins pulsing in his forehead, at the desperation leaking through the arrogance.“Last thing you need right now… Derek, is to draw unwanted attention to yourself because you can't handle seeing your sister who's her own adult by the way dancing with a loser like me. It's a fancy evening, let's keep it that way…” Nelson said, ever so loudly that only Derek could h
Chapter Seven
“If it ain't fishy Fisher!" Derek spread his arms wide as he approached, his smile stretched across his lips exposing his perfect white teeth. "You actually came fish! I wasn't sure you'd have the balls to…”Derek stopped mid sentence as he finally caught the attention of Nelson's attire. The crispy suit had little obsidian buttons that blinged depending on the amount of light that hit it, and the watch fitted perfectly on his wrist as well giving him a fitting attire that screamed he belonged amongst the elite."Ohh… is that a Sprite Breitling!? That watch cost a little over ten thousand dollars…" Derek said this time with a more hushed tone. Derek stared at Nelson inquisitively, not expecting this version of the boy he just stole his girlfriend Derek was taken back and forced to look for a new means to humiliation."Everyone, this is Nelson! My most determined classmate. The man who never gives up, no matter how many times life tells him no!”Laughter rippled through the crowd, poli
Chapter Six
Nelson stood still with his hands loose at his side and his face carrying an empty expression. In front of him, Zack and Liu had planted themselves directly in his path, their shoulders squared and their chest puffed out like roosters. Nelson tilted his head to reveal three more classmates behind the duo, forming a wall of cologne and borrowed confidence.“Did you crawl in through the back kitchen, fishy Fisher?” Zack sneered, his voice loud enough to spread across the lobby. “Or did you bribe the front desk with coupons and food stamps?" Nelson raised his eyebrow in response to Zack’s words, squinting his eyes the moment his surname was abused.Liu laughed with a sharp barking sound. “Fishy Fisher… good one. Look at that suit, it must have cost him three months of his mother's grocery change. Shame he still smells like the slum he crawled out from…" Due to the tension building around Nelson, he could see a few heads turning towards his general direction. The last thing he wanted a
Chapter Five
Nelson entered his room and closed the door. The first thing he did was unbox his new iPhone and check his banking app, where he saw a staggering balance of $600,000! Just the other day, he was skipping meals, counting pennies, and trekking just to save bus fare. Now he could buy whatever he wanted. “I am really rich,” Nelson whispered as he sat on the edge of his bed, trying to process it all. From this moment, he could foot any bill, give his mother the finest care in the world, and make sure his sister did not have to work her brains off! He could achieve his dreams of owning grand luxury estates, investing in multi-million dollar corporations, and becoming a powerful figure that nobody in the entire city could dare to look down on ever again. Thinking about this reminded Nelson of the arrogant faces of Derek and Claire, who invited him to a VIP party tonight. People like them were the kind who thrived on social hierarchy and power, using wealth as the symbol of status. Acc
