Sapphire Store. Chad whistled with a smirk as he burst in like he owned it, even though he very much did not. “Yo, Theo!” he yelled, clapping his hands once. "Theo, my man!"Theo was there wearing a frown. He was dressed in the dull uniform of the expensive store, which was not a new thing that it was owned by Alec. Chad grinned. “Where’s my discount, cousin dearest?” The tall barely looked up. “We don’t do discounts for family. Or clowns.”“Oof, rude,” Chad said. "After all my nice hypes," he muttered, tossing his sunglasses on the counter. “You always get like this when you're broke?”“I’m not broke,” Theo muttered, his jaw clenching. “Oh right. You’re... employed.” Chad smirked and poked a price tag. “Man, look at you. From manager to shelf stocker. I’m so proud.”Theo did not say anything."So, so proud of you, man." Chad added with his smirk. Theo grabbed the scanner aggressively. “You here to buy or run your mouth?”“Both,” Chad grinned, then leaned closer. “Listen. Charit
81...For the event...
The roaring sound of a luxury blender filled the large, open kitchen.“Sam!” his mother yelled over the noise.No response. "Saaaamuellll!" She screamed. "Yeahhhh!!!" He finally responded. “Do you want kiwi or mango?!”“Ugh, mango.” Sam replied from the giant couch, wearing sunglasses. The blender roared louder.Few seconds later....SLAM!The front door flew open.“Samuel!” his father barked, stomping in like a general. “Have you seen what I thought you've seen!?"Sam didn’t move. “Hi, Dad.”“Hi? Hi?! We sold the yacht, Samuel! THE YACHT! And why the hell are you wearing sunglasses for no reason again!?""It's fashion, honey," Mrs Thomas answered for her son. "Our son loves fashion.""Oh fashion makes him wear some freaking sunglasses for no reason when he should be worried at this moment!" Mr Thomas shouted. "Someone please tell me why my son is so not worried about anything.""Why should I be worried?" Sam asked casually. "Why should you be worried?!" Mr Thomas shrieked, his w
80...D' Young...
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
