"Guess someone has a lot of explaining to do." The stunning girl giggled.

"Yeah. A lot." Eddie was snapping as he spoke.

Even though it was a cool morning, Karl could already feel the sweat rising in him.

"Guess. That's what I was just about to tell you guys about. The tickets that I just handed over to you are for Amber's friend's birthday party." He noted.

"Dorm mare." She said still looking at the beautiful face of her boyfriend until he eventually coughed lightly.

"Roomies. Meet my girlfriend Amber." He said.

For the first time, Sarah turned around towards Karl's roommates. Of course, since he was a basketball captain and should be in that section of the dorm, she was expecting a Strong, tall, and handsome-looking guest.

Together with her roommates, they had already sized up almost every guy that was on the time and none of them were bad-looking.

When Sarah however laid her eyes on this set, her heart rate dropped in an instant.

Eddie and Fred looked like crushed potatoes with no striking features, Riley, even though he was not looking bad stank of poverty even from the clothes that he was putting on.

Amber's foot sank to the sole of her feet and her heart raced faster. The silence between them was becoming a little bit awkward and she pushed forward a smile that wasn't from her heart.

"Nice to meet you guys."

"Nice to meet you too Amber." They replied.

Sarah then pulled over to Karl unable to hide the worried looks that were littered on her face anymore.

"Is everything okay?" He inquired and she nodded her head looking at his friends. This was certainly not the time for her to bring such a topic up.

Once they got to the dorm, the trio decided that they were going to leave the two lovers alone and get some food.

"What was that look on your face quite a few moments ago? Is everything okay?" He inquired once again.

"Everything is not okay Karl. Everything is messed up. Why didn't you tell me? That your friends, they aren't like you." She inquired pacing worriedly through the room.

"What do you mean?" 

"Like you are a basketball player. I thought your roommates were supposed to also be the same?" She ranted further.

"Well. I got transferred from the other dorm due to proximity to my faculty. But why is that a problem?" Asked Karl.

"The party. You will have to tell them that it's canceled, that's the only possible way that I can think of to get my head around this." She ventured.

Karl suddenly grew tense and could not understand why his girlfriend was suddenly behaving in such a manner.

"I don't understand what's going on Amber! You want me to lie to them?"

You aren't going to understand. I was with my roommates during the match and we already sized up everyone in your team. They were all good-looking and exclusive. That was the reason that I wasn't around for a while.

They thought that it was going to be easier than finding dates for the party. And now." Her hair was scattered all over the place.

Karl didn't know how he was going to tell them that the arrangements had suddenly been canceled after bringing their hopes so high.

"Don't you think that's even going to be worse? What explanation do you wish to give to your roommates? It would have been easier if I had not given them the tickets already. Now I can't just leave them." He said.

Sarah clenched her teeth to the roof of her mouth not knowing what she was going to do at this moment.

At this point, the boys returned. They had gone shopping for the things that were going to be needed for the party.

Seeing that they wanted to get dressed, Sarah had to wait outside in between clenched teeth. There was no way that they would be able to stop them now.

"How do I look in this shirt?"Eddie inquired.

None of them were that rich. Just average students so their clothes weren't that expensive.

However, there was someone who wasn't putting effort into change and that was Riley and the rest decided to let him be until Karl decided to speak up.

"Riley. Why don't you get on my business suit?" Karl inquired. Amber's words had already gotten to him and he was now a little bit tense at the moment.

"Thanks, man but I don't think that there would be any need for that. This is enough."

"Leave Riley alone. There is no need for him to go any extra. He already looks more like a Greek god just with his killer looks."  Eddie commented.

At this, Karl sighed not knowing what he was going to do. When they were eventually done, they got to the place that they needed to be.

However, while at it, Riley could already feel his phone vibrating in his pockets and there was no need for anyone to tell him who the caller was.

He had already set Uncle Cain's caller tune so that he was going to know exactly when the old man was calling.

Knowing that he had to pick up the call, Riley halted, turned over to the others, and said.

Earlier, he had called Uncle  Cain to get him a gift that he was going to present for him. Since it was a birthday party, it was going to be a little bit off if he didn't come with anything.

"You guys move along. I need to take this important call." He assured me.

Before they could even say anything else, Riley had already pulled ahead to the corner since he did not want them to know the details of anything that the call was about.

A few moments later while Riley was still standing, a man walked over. Riley has specially requested that he pick his car at the other end of the street so that it was not going to cause too much stares.

"Uncle Cain. I am very sorry for causing you so much stress. You didn't really have to do this." Riley was feeling guilty that he was making an old man go through so much stress.

"Don't be silly master Riley." Cain sprouted out quickly, preventing him from saying any other word.

"No matter the heights that I have gotten, you will always be my Young master. Besides, without your family, I would have still be rolling in the mud."

Saying these words, he brought out a little box from his designer's suit. The exterior of the suit was stunning and he reached out to Riley with a slight bow.

"This is the gift that you requested. I made sure to get something befitting but simple at the same time." He said, going ahead to run through the dentist of what he had in his hands.

"This Jade was made by one of the best sculptors to live. Originally from Italy and was made out of the finest material. It's priceless but I was able to get it for about fifty million dollars." Uncle Cain said smiling.

In his heart, he had thought that his young master had finally gotten a girlfriend for himself and he was going to be more like a grandfather really soon.

If he was dating someone that was simple that made him request for such, then he had to get the best simple item.

"Thanks very much Uncle Cain. I will always remember you for what you have done for me." He said bowing before he eventually left to leave and search for the others.

Meanwhile, the rest had to forge ahead alone. It wasn't the main section of the party that they were heading to but a small exclusive room that had been prepared for the celebrant.

This was the place where she was going to meet with Karl's friend, her date, and possibly her future husband since she had already made up her mind to get a boyfriend as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, inside the room, three girls sat. They were all stunning with silk and glittering skins with the model body, enough to give any man a run for their money.

However, none of their beauties matched that of the girl at the end. Even for her young age, her bulge was full and the sight was enough to send ripples down the skin of anyone.

"Do you think that the guys coming are going to like my lipstick?" Hannah, the first girl said.

"Well,  I'm expecting to take one as my boyfriend, maybe the second most attractive one since we are already leaving the first for Isabelle." She said with a mirror in her hands and checking the time at the same time.

"I am sure that they are going to be here any moment for now so I have to be perfect." She added while the other girl was pushing a friendly frown.

"And why do you have to get the second attractive while I go for the third?" The other inquired, her frown growing deeper by the second.

"Well.."  Hannah was short of words.

Isabelle smiled to herself seeing that they were not even trying to drag the most attractive guy with her, her plan was going perfectly.

The two eventually concluded to fight for their love until they eventually gave him up.

"That reminds me, Tina. While we are waiting for them, you have yet to tell us about the music audition that you went for. Ever since you have been avoiding talking about it?" Tina pushed forward.

The words caused the air around Isabelle to freeze in an instant, remembering the moment when Riley had spilled coffee all over her white designer shirt.

"That bitch. I could not go for it anymore because of him." She squeezed with irritation.

While the others were confused. Every one of them knew how badly Isabelle wanted to audition and how she practiced every single day for it with her voice tutor.

"You couldn't attend?" Hannah's eyes were bulging.

Isabelle eventually told them everything that had happened between her and  Riley on the day that she was supposed to go for the audition.

"So the scumbag tried to offer you a few dollars?" Tina was still stunned.

"Yeah. And to make it worse, I am sure that he got his clothes either from the recycle bin or from the thrift store."

"Sometimes. I wonder if people like him still exist."

"However, I can always go some other time and I never wish to see the bitch again." She added.

It was her birthday and also a big celebration. She didn't want to ruin her precious mood because of someone like Riley that wasn't worth it.

Soon enough the door parted open and Sarah walked in together with three other guys.

Hannah and Tina quickly straightened up themselves to look at their best, pushing Forward the most lovely smile that the world had seen.

Seeing Karl once again. Their hearts tripped. They were full of anticipation. Their anxiety forced them to turn around only to meet with two large eyes.

"Hello." Fred greeted me gently.

    "Look at his dress Hannah. Does this even cost money? I am sure that he had picked it up from the trash can after someone dumped it and he wanted to pay for a five hundred dollar dress? Isn't he a hard dreamer?" Tina mocked."You don't have to blame him that much. I am sure that at that moment, his face was covered with so much shame that he didn't know what he was going to do at that moment." Sarah added once again.There was an uproar of laughter while the others only looked confused. For a while, they still didn't understand what was going on.How even Riley and Stacy who seemed to be from two different worlds knew each other. However, whatever it was, it was not the most pleasant meeting."Stacy! Have you met Riley somewhere before?" Sarah inquired.However, Stacy was too furious to say anything for a while so Hannah had to fill them in with the information of what had happened.Even though Hannah tried to lay the facts in such a way that it would favor Stacy. It still looked lik

    Hannah felt like she was going to throw up after looking at Fred for a while. He was neither handsome nor all that bad looking. But to her, that was the worst looking person that she had seen all her life."How could someone exist that could still be this ugly?" She muttered aloud not even caring that someone's feeling was getting trampled upon by her words.Fred bowed his head slightly, wishing already that the ground would open up and swallow him out of the embarrassment that he had experienced.After putting on so much that he was going to look presentable, it still wasn't enough.Hw thought about Riley that was always good looking even though he had to always to hard labor and didn't even have a skin care routine. But even with his skin care, it was more like his skin didn't care at all.For the first time, he was jealous of Riley but soon snapped the thoughts off from his head."What are you even thinking about, Fred." He soon whispered to himself and braised himself up.She rep

    The man was shaking like a baby. Even Riley didn't know why a full-arsed grown man would be behaving in such a manner.'Huh? Is this one of the fearless leaders of the underworld?" He thought.Right after his poverty program, he didn't realize that his details and pictures had been sent to most of the powerful groups in the city.Even though the man who was shivering before him wasn't part of this category, he had gotten hold of the news.And whoever Riley was, he was not to be offended.The rest of the team, seeing how afraid their leader was of the person that was standing right before them, soon fell to their feet."Please forgive us, sir." They all pleaded while everyone remained speechless at the sight that lay before them.Carter soon snapped out from his gaze with a tilt of fury written all over his face."And what do you think that you are doing? Have you all gone mad?" He thundered out of his frustration."I brought you guys up to teach this man a lesson and what do you do? Y

    For the first time, Riley start over with and unfazed look on his face while Jane was secretly smiling. She could not wait for the fool to be disgraced before everyone.She stepped forward forcing the little crying puppy to look at her face."Carter, you wouldn't believe what this fool did. He tried to ask Claire out and when I told him that she was already taken by someone else, he told me to scream. You are a nobody and there is nothing that you can do to him." She added.Everyone was stunned hearing these words. Even Riley was. He could not believe that she would go to the point of lying just to get what she wanted.Even though most people that were in the place knew the truth, none of them dared to speak against the leader of the Pink Panther club and incur her wrath.Carter's face was hot red with fury. One that was enough to frighten Claire. She stepped forward with a frown and a worried look on her face."Why would you say such a thing Jane when I was the one that made the fir

    Riley woke up with two large eyes staring at him."I thought you were never going to wake up with a sleepy head," Fred muttered.Riley's eyes swept at them and could see that they were all dressed up. He was confused, stretching his head. The last time that he remembered, there wasn't any."Are you guessing about leaving me to go to a party?" He inquired with his blinking eyes."Leaving you! You wish. Guess you have already forgotten. Today is the day for Karl's team to shine. You don't expect us not to be there to cheer him right?" He said further.Now saying that, it suddenly clicked. He had almost forgotten that today was the day for the school basketball tournament for which Henry was the captain.They all got dressed and left, however, when they had gotten over to the stadium, he decided to use the bathroom."Oh well, guess I will have to find somewhere else to sit," Riley muttered to himself, seeing that the place where they sat was already filled up.While he sat there waiting
