"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.

Chapter 145
Riley looked at Rossline for a moment before scoffing. "You are his girlfriend. You're supposed to know his character and how bad it is."Rossline sighed and glanced toward the classroom where Nearl had disappeared. "I was surprised too. When we first met, he seemed gentle and polite. I never expected him to become like this."Riley scoffed again, folding his arms. "He hid it well enough”Rossline remained silent for a moment before looking directly at him. Then, almost casually, she asked, "Do you think he is the owner of this school? The secret owner of this school?"Riley's expression changed slightly. He stared at her. "I doubt that. What makes you really think that?"Rossline simply smiled."Nothing."Riley frowned. "Nothing?""We'll talk later." Rossline paused before adding, "And thanks for the other day."Before Riley could ask what she meant, she turned around and walked away.Riley watched her leave, his brows slightly furrowed. "Why would Rossline think Nearl is the secret

With that, the second game began.This time, Riley personally selected the paddle and the ball before handing them to Nearl. Nearl accepted both without hesitation, giving Riley a faint smile before taking his position across from Karl. The crowd grew quiet again, everyone eager to see whether Nearl could repeat his earlier performance without the paddle he had used during the final.The whistle sounded.Karl served first.The ball crossed the net, and Nearl returned it with a simple stroke. Karl immediately moved into position, ready for the ball to come back toward him, but at the last second, it suddenly curved away from his paddle. He swung and missed completely.The crowd gasped.Nearl remained calm.The next rally was even more intense. Karl tried using different spins and angles, but Nearl seemed to read everything. He would make what looked like an ordinary return, yet the ball would suddenly change direction after bouncing, forcing Karl to move desperately across the table."

Riley stepped forward until he stood directly before Principal Paul.His voice was calm, but it carried clearly across the silent sports hall."Principal Paul... I just saw you smuggle the paddle Nearl used during the final out of the arena."For a heartbeat—No one reacted. Then the entire hall erupted into stunned murmurs."What?""Smuggle the paddle?""What does he mean?""Did I hear that right?"Students looked at one another in complete confusion, while the teachers exchanged puzzled glances. Principal Paul's expression darkened."What the hell are you talking about?" he demanded sharply. "Smuggle Nearl's paddle? Explain yourself."Without saying another word, Riley slowly raised his hand and pointed toward the student volunteer who had almost reached the exit."The paddle is inside that black sack."The volunteer froze in place. His eyes widened in surprise as every person inside the arena turned to look at him."I... I..."He instinctively tightened his grip on the sack, unsure

Claire brushed her hair back with a trembling hand as she heard Riley accept the challenge.Her heart sank.She couldn't believe he had actually said yes.Jerry stared at Riley for a few seconds before a grin slowly spread across his face."I like your courage," he said with a chuckle. "But sadly... it's going to make you a cripple."The smile on his face grew even wider."Since you're this desperate, let's make it an official spar."Those words immediately caught everyone's attention. Even the students who had gathered nearby leaned in with curiosity.Riley frowned slightly."Official?" he asked. "What do you mean by official?"Jerry slipped both hands into his pockets."Actually," he began with a relaxed smile, "there's an underground tournament held every night."He glanced around before continuing."It's not legal, of course. People usually go there to place bets... or simply watch for entertainment. That's where I'd like to cripple you."Fred's expression instantly became more se

Jerry, Williams, and Cory all scoffed the moment they saw Riley.Riley didn't stop walking.With a calm expression on his face, he stepped closer until only a few feet separated him from Jerry.The atmosphere instantly became tense.Neither of them looked away.Jerry was still gripping Claire's wrist tightly.A smug smile spread across his face as his eyes wandered over Riley's body."I can see you've healed already," Jerry said with a scoff. "That was quicker than I expected."Before Riley could answer, Williams stepped forward with a mocking smile."Look," he said, pointing lazily at Riley, "I'll give you some advice. Just leave already. This has nothing to do with you."Riley's expression didn't change."It has everything to do with me," he replied calmly as he looked at Jerry's hand gripping Claire's wrist. "You're cornering my friend. Let her go right now."Jerry glanced at Claire before looking back at Riley.A cold laugh escaped his mouth."You really must need another beating.
Chapter 140
Monday morning arrived.Riley stood at the front gate of the school, looking up at the familiar campus. The bruises on his face had faded considerably over the past few days. "Riley!"A familiar voice called excitedly from behind him.He turned around just as Mira hurried over, her school bag bouncing against her shoulder."There you are!" she exclaimed before stopping in front of him. She frowned almost immediately. "How did you leave the hospital without telling anyone? And where did you even go? I came to visit you yesterday, and the nurse said you'd already been discharged."Riley scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed smile. "Sorry. I was discharged earlier than expected. I just went to visit one of my relatives. He was dying to see me."Mira let out a long sigh and folded her arms."You should have called me. You didn't even come work, and you didn't answer any messages. I was worried.""Sorry," Riley said sincerely. Mira looked him up and down before her expressio
