[67] Gala night
"Grace?" Jace tried to call her attention but she seemed to have completely vanished into the crowd without a trace. So much for not being bothered by all the attention he was getting. Even while he looked nervous, some pretty female students still waved lovingly at him while with their partners. Truly it felt strange and somewhat overwhelming."Oh my God," he muttered, and quickly turned around, returning to the balcony so that Jane wouldn't get too curious or worse, upset."Is everything okay?" Jane asked upon his return, she never left the spot where she had been standing."I... sort of," Jace babbled,"The truth is, I had a lot of people asking me to be their partner tonight, I couldn't say yes to all of them, and she's one of them.""Oh," Jane muttered,"I hope my father's gift didn't force you to..."No no," Jace cut her off briskly,"I chose to come with you, not just because of your father. Honestly, you've been really nice to me since I got here, and that's enough reason for
[66] This is going to be a mess
Jace stepped out of the boutique’s fitting room, the mirror-lined walls throwing back an image that almost didn’t feel like his own because the tailored black suit clung perfectly to his frame. The clerk adjusted the cuffs, revealing the glint of the Coleman watch on his wrist She froze for a moment just staring at it, wondering how such a young boy could afford such an expensive wrist watch, but then again she parried those thoughts, concluding in her mind that it must have been from Jace's rich parent. "I like it," said with a smile. It wasn't the most expensive suit in the store, but it was exactly what he wanted. He also picked a black leather shoe to match, paid the cashier and soon he was out of the building. By the time the sun had set, a line of black cars was already parked up the curved driveway of the Glass Horizon Hotel. The building’s façade was a shimmering wall of tinted windows, and the entryway glowed in soft amber light. Security in tuxedos moved with quiet preci
[65]The invite
Just after she had left the room, yet another knock was heard, and Jace grumbled, assuming that Grace never left. "What do you..." He flung open the door and his voice trailed off, seeing Max standing at the door. "Max, sorry I was expecting someone else," He apologised and quickly gestured for him to come in. "No, I actually have something for you, her father sent it to me to give you... "Her?" "Jane," Max nodded, deciding to step into the room briefly and closing the door behind him. "I had to invite Tristan Coleman myself, and he said his daughter talked about you to him, it's one of the few reasons he agreed to show up at the debate to see the famous boy that caught his daughter's attention." "I..." Jace stuttered, not knowing what to say. He took the box from Max, his mind reeling with curiosity about what might be underneath the expensive wrap. "Jane sent it, or was it Jane?" Jace asked, slowly unwrapping the box, "What could it be?" "I think you should see it for you
[64] Why was I getting hard?
The news about the debate went viral, becoming another trending topic all over the campus, its social platform and whatnot. From students in their first year to those in their final year, Jace had already become a popular figure on campus.Known? Yes, but not respected by everyone, many students were jealous of his sudden rise. Meanwhile, Jace himself didn't seem to mind them; his popularity has only increased, but not his power, and that's the whole point.He wanted to reach a point where his mere presence alone would send a shiver down the spine of those around. He wasn't doing this just for pride but to show off and put those elite brats in their place; he wanted to be their worst nightmare.Amidst all the flying news, Jace started to get a lot of attention from female students and that in itself came with another set of trouble. He liked the attention and wasn't entirely bothered by it, but he never settled for any of them. Needless to say, he was playing hard to get.Today, the a
[62] You will regret this
Dave stormed down the corridor, his shoes striking the polished tiles in sharp, echoing steps. The echoes followed him like a drumbeat to his fury, each one pushing him faster until he reached the heavy oak door at the end of the hall. Mr. Coleman, the name on a golden plate hung firmly on the door, indicating that it was Tristan Coleman's office, the place where his father was also expected to be. Dave didn’t knock, he just pushed the door open so hard it slammed into the wall, his breath heavy like someone who had just run a marathon. Tears still cling to the corner of his eyes, and shame washes over his face. Inside, the room smelled faintly of leather and cologne, with the tall windows letting in shafts of sunlight that fell over the polished desk where Tristan Coleman lounged in a tailored navy suit. As the door flung open, his sharp eyes flickered toward Dave with mild irritation. Beside him, seated in the high-backed leather chair, was Washington, Dave’s father, his broad
[62] Potential love interest: 79
Dave’s jaw was locked so tight that the muscles in his face twitched. His eyes swept over the crowd, as the elites who had cheered for him minutes ago now sat in rigid silence. The reality was humiliating, not even his father had voted for him, the same man whom he thought would be the reason he'd win, now brought him nothing but shame. Whispers darted across the hall like sparks, some sharp with shock and others dripping with disbelief. The elite students were somewhat divided, their eyes gleaming with pride and jealousy. The scholarship students were on their feet, clapping and cheering. Their faces glowed with a pride that hadn’t been there before. The elites, however, looked as if they had swallowed something bitter. Their prestige, their untouchable confidence, had just been pierced by someone they had barely considered worthy to stand at the podium. Dave growled, his hands curled into fists, but he couldn’t do anything about it. An agreement was an agreement. The terms had
