"What do we even need to get here that you said we should come?" Dan asked.

"You forget things easily, Dan. I talked about getting Video games pads, to play basketball." Jude replied.

"Ohhh.... my mind wasn't on that." Dan said, smiling underneath the face cover.

"I know you're smiling sheepishly under that cover." Jude said laughing.

"Wizard!" Dan said laughing.

"Let's move over there to get some disks." Jude said and they moved from where they are to the other area of the Row they are.

'thuud!!'....

Jude collided with someone while bending at the corner and both victims weren't aware someone might be coming.

The other person fell and things on her fell on the floor.

"I'm sorry." Jude said without looking at her and bent to pick the things that fell before seeing the pink band on the girl's hand.

It really looks familiar!

Then it strucks his memories as he looked up to check the lady's face.

It was her!

The Rude girl at The school finals.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" She said and that brought Jude to his senses, making him aware that he had been staring at her face.

"Sorry.." Jude said and picked the stuff quickly, wondering what she's doing in Chicago.

On the other hand, Jane was wondering why he was acting Like that.

"Aunt Lola, is this the only Mall here in Chicago?" Jim asked.

"No". Aunt Lola replied.

" Is there any other one bigger than this?" Jane asked.

"Yeah, the WATER HOUSE TOWER PLACE mall, just some minutes drive from here." Aunt Lola replied.

"Then Please, let's get there as well before we returned back home." Jim pleaded and Jane nods in agreement.

"Okay, but we won't stay long at it will be getting dark soon." Aunt Lola said and they agreed.

They pay for what they bought and head out to the park, where the driver is been waiting for them.

Dan came by at the scene and was shocked to see the girl at the School finals but Jude quickly made eye conversation with him not to put on any show.

The girl didn't know it was them as they had their fave cover on.

"Sorry for what happened." Jude said and handed her things back to her and she nods, collecting them, still wondering what the awkward look from him is for.

Jude turned back to move with Dan when she voiced out.

"Please can I see your face?"

The question and demand came as a surprise, or rather shocking to both guys

Slowly, They turned and face her.

"Why?" Jude replied.

"Are you a celebrity or what, why the tight disguise over your face?" Jane asked sharply.

'Never repemts' Dan muttered underneath.

"Yeah, I'm a public figure, so is he, sorry we could not reveal our faces." Jude said and Dan nods in agreement.

"Oh okay." Jane said, unlucky that her demand is not fulfilled.

"Did you come around at the mall always?" Jude finds himself asking her, Dan was even surprised.

"N.. No.. not really, this is my first time, I'm new in Chicago." Jane replied with a nervous smile.

"Okay, see you some other time." Jude said and wave her bye before moving away with Dan.

"What's up with that question?" Dan asked immediately they left the scene.

"Trying to get back." Jude replied.

"A revenge or what?" Dan asked.

"To know why she's suddenly in Chicago, we met her last at Florida and she's Representing her school that we defeated at the finals, remember. The school is located in Florida and here she is in Chicago." Jude said and Dan nods, getting his point.

"And seems she's new here, probably they relocated." Jude said.

"Her parents must be quite rich, for her shopping at the no. 1. Richest mall in Chicago." Dan said.

"Hmm." Jude shrugged.

"Hey Jane, where have you been? I and aunt Lola has been looking for you." Jim came out and said.

Jude turned to look at him.

"They really look alike, that's really her brother." Dan said and Jude nod.

"I collided her with a stranger and my things fell but he picked them up already and he seems like a celebrity." Jane said and Jim mouthed 'wow'.

"Where's he standing?" He asked and Jane made to point to the direction where Jude and Dan was standing but shockingly, they were not there anymore.

"Ohhh, they Left already." Jane said to him.

"Hey kids, let's go!" Aunt Lola came by and said.

****

"phhhffsss!" Jude gave a deep sigh, standing at the front of the mirror in his room as he puts on the School uniform.

His hairstyle has been changed to that of Jade, he looked at the ID Card on him and looked at the picture on it, he really looked like him and there's no changes at all, just one thing and no one would dare notice except being told.

"Are you nervous of Facing the reality today?" Dan asked as he cane into the room.

"Your Character never leaves you ass*ole, when will you start knocking before you come in?" Jude said with a fake glare as he faced him.

"You know it's not my thing as you're not a girl

" Dan laughed and Jude thrown him a light punch in the shoulder.

"I'm really nervous about the whole thing, facing the people, everyone saying 'hey jade', 'how're you jade?' he's teammate and all." Jude said sitting back on the bed edge.

"You know you should get prepared for that and luckily, it is still a little bit easy for you as we've been informed, he doesn't keep friends in that school, except having teammates." Dan said and Jude's face brightens up.

Yea, his dad once talked about that. he's a Public figure, also the Coldest guy out there in the school.

Only God knows how he was able to play basketball perfectly.

May be, it is because of the passion for the game.

Right from his childhood, he had loved playing basketball video games and Stephen Curry had been his Mentor.

Their father once took them to watch his game live at the NBA and that's what even boosted his passion for basketball.

"Yeah, that's good, the best way to put this out there is to maintain a Cold nature." Jude said and gave Dan knuckles.

More reason why he had requested that he needed Dan at his side for a successful role play of what lies ahead of him.

They had their breakfast, had a live chat with Chairman Brown, Gave them some piece of information and advice before they left for the Prestigious School.

Jude puts on his black Sun glasses as he stepped out of the Car, Dan followed suit, there are Girls out there with their phones ready to take his picture.

Dan and Jude was a little bit wow'ed' but kept their cool, they had been informed already of the lifestyle of Jade at school.

"Hey jade, C'mon look here". A girl said in the midst of her friends, looked like the leader of the group, very nasty.

" Who's this new Guy with him?" another person said.

"Never seen him before, looks like a newbie here" another girl said.

"But why will they come together?" Another one said and Jude's ears is full already.

"Hey, NANA is here!" A girl announced and every other people steps aside giving Jude and Dan a wide space.

making Jude worried who could that have been that holds such a wide authority.

"Who's NANA?" Dan Asked.
