In the car, Jeremy was grinning from ear to ear as he drove, when his stomach suddenly growled.

Alec looked at him with raised eye brows.

"I'm hungry, man" Jeremy said, pursing his lips.

Alec chuckled, suddenly remembering his own empty stomach. He took out his phone and started tapping on it.

"Uhh...." Jeremy glanced at him. "What are you doing?"

Alec went quiet, his face in a slight frown of concentration.

"Alec?" Jeremy called questioningly.

"Sorry" He apologized, still typing. "Just texted my dad, asking if he would like to have dinner with us somewhere, and..." He paused to read the message on his phone. "He said he's already had dinner...and I should have fun with my friend"

"Oh"

Alec kept typing on the phone.

"So what's the issue now?" Jeremy asked, noticing how focused Alec was.

"I'm trying to make reservations for us at Starlight Restaurant."

"What!?" Jeremy coughed in shock.

Alec looked up. "Is there a problem?"

Jeremy cleared his throat "That restaurant is real

    Alec stared at the large screen at the HEP showing the event for tonight, and later, he released a short sigh."'D' Young Charity Gala," he pronounced slowly."Yep," Jeremy grinned. "You know that's gonna be like the hottest event of the year. And it's gonna have hot, bad girls, you know?" He wriggled his brows. Alec rolled his eyes, but there was a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth. "I'm serious though," Jeremy went on. "I feel like It's gonna be one of the hottest events of the year. Well... if you’re between sixteen and twenty-three, ridiculously rich, and kinda addicted to competition, you can attend and enjoy it."Alec squinted at the elegant banner across the screen. "So charity, huh?” he muttered with a meaningful snort. "I bet fifteen out of twenty kids attending the event don’t even know what they’re gonna be donating to.""Donating?" Jeremy scoffed a laugh. "Man, they are not donating," he said, tossing a protein bar toward Alec. “They’re buying status. And tonight,

  • 79...You know...

    "Dad?" Alec called casually. "Hmm?" His dad hummed without looking up from his phone, his glasses resting gently on his nose and his mouth scrunched. "Uhhh," Alec blinked, bending his face to look at his dad's face properly. "Dad, look at me, I wanna talk to you."Alan briefly looked up. "You wanna talk to me?"Alec nodded. "Yes, dad""You know?...." Alan's mouth scrunched up more, his eyes showing he was annoyed with whatever he was seeing on his phone. "Know what, dad?""Hold on a sec...""Dad, are you having issues with your phone's operation?""No," Alan quickly said. Alec narrowed his eyes. "I can handle the phone," Alan said with a tight smile then added in a mutter. "Maybe your boss could've bought a less complicated phone for me.""My boss thought you'd like that model, that's why he bought it for you." Alec said with a small smirk, his brain flashing back to how he had scrolled through phones to buy online and chose the one his dad was using. So, yes, it wasn't Alec's bo

  • 78...Lost gems...

    Alec paced the living room, his hands already clammy as he tried to calm his nerves. "Okay, okay," He stopped walking for a second. "Alec, don't panic," he breathed. "Don't. Panic," He repeated with a solid tone. "Alec, don't—"Beep. "Fuck!" He cursed in a harsh whisper. Then he started pacing around the room again. "Maybe Xander was just pranking me," He thought aloud. "Maybe it's just a...a warning, right?" He looked around like he was hoping someone would agree. "Right. Just a loud, screaming, ear shattering warning. That's fine. I mean I get those all the time, yeah?"BEEEEPPP. "Okay, no I don't."BEEEPPP "Can you fucking stop?!" Alec snapped in frustration. "No." Xander answered, brutally honest.Alec froze. "Xander," He called cautiously. "Listen I know what you're thinking, alright?" He held up a hand. "I know what you are thinking," he repeated with a slower tone. "And technically.... technically, I didn't say anything,"Silence. "Alright I said something," Alec confess

  • 77...A spiritual crisis...

    Alec still felt cold internally. He rubbed his arms, like that would help to warm him up quick. "Alec, say something about your subconscious." Jeremy said, watching him through narrowed eyes. Alec leaned back in his chair and sighed. "How did we even get to this for fuck's sake." He mumbled, feeling upset.Jeremy creased brows. "What was that?""Nothing." Alec mumbled, pushing his hair back. Jeremy waited a moment before speaking again. "I'm just letting you know now..." He looked at Alec straight in the eye. "I'm not dropping this topic until you say something.""You don't have to be so hard on me, Jeremy," Alec complained with a small frown. "I thought I was your best friend.""Stop it," Jeremy deadpanned. "It's not working.""What?" Alec gave him a disbelieving look."Yeah, that guilt trip is not working.""It should....""I'm not Alan," Jeremy said flatly, staring at his friend with a knowing look. "I'm not Alan, Alec. Your games are not gonna work this time."Alec scratched hi

  • 76...The lightning...

    "What if it's him?" Jeremy glanced at the ball, then at Alec who was trying to understand what they were talking about. Heidi bit her bottom lip, her gaze fixed on inscription on the ball. "Do you think he's the one?" Jeremy's eyes returned to the ball. He stared at it for a few seconds before finally uttering his thought. "I think it's him."Alec flashed his gaze between Jeremy and Heidi. "Okay, can someone please explain what's going on here?" He asked, looking curiously between his friends again. "Who is 'him'?"Jeremy let his eyes stay on the mysterious object for another moment before talking. "I'll explain later..." He said, folding his arms across his chest. "After you tell me about your powers."Alec stared at Jeremy, an unreadable look printed on his face. "You want me to...." He trailed off, shaking his head. "This is crazy." He muttered, turning to his locker. "We already had this conversation before, Jeremy""And I wasn't satisfied with that." Jeremy shot back frankly.

    "He is so hot," A voice gushed. "I'll ask him out myself one day," Another girl whispered, staring dreamily at Alec. "You are a genius, Alec," The teacher complimented with a sincere grin, then turned around to write on the board."Maybe math wasn't so bad after all," Alec whispered, turning to Jeremy, only to notice his friend’s eyes were focused somewhere else.Alec followed Jeremy's gaze and saw it was locked on Letty.There was a guy sitting beside her, hitting on her and getting touchy, right there in the middle of class. Alec grounded his gaze, watching as Letty tried her best to fend the guy off, shifting uncomfortably and inching away, but it was clear she was struggling.Darkness appeared in Alec's eyes as he glared at the guy beside Letty. "Alec..." Jeremy whispered carefully. A surge of anger rushed through Alec. "I'm gonna kill him.""Okay," Jeremy said, clearing his throat as he saw Alec's fists clenched. Alec glanced at the teacher, then back at Letty and the guy.
