How Not To Chase Love Chapter 10: Over The Edge
Shane drove back to his dormitory in silence. He had no idea what Hilton did when he left him alone, although he was worried about the state of mind he was in. Shane wondered what was going through both his and Isabel’s minds. The two of them just survived a very traumatic experience. It would make sense if they fought and made up very soon. Shane arrived at the dormitory, but when he opened the door, he saw two new faces in the living room. The two boys he saw turned out to be his new dorm mates. The two of them were going to share the other room, since Shane and Calvin were sharing one already. When they saw Shane’s face, the two boys looked at him from head to toes and just sighed. The boys had the appearances of rich spoiled brats. Shane was in no mood to entertain them at all. He just greeted the two boys and went to his room. When he saw his bed, Shane threw himself on the soft mattress. He was exhausted and just wanted to lay down for a while. Shane was still in bed thinking

The more Shane exposed what happened, the more angry Isabel grew. How dare Shane talk so much. He even made it sound as if she was the one who pushed Hilton over the edge. The dean listened attentively before he decided he had enough. He didn’t say anything else, but he did tell Isabel to leave the two of them. He also gave her a stern warning to never cause such a scene on campus again. It was unbefitting of her and it was especially rude since she was a first year student. Isabel agreed and left the two of them alone. The dean had a sad expression as he looked at Shane's face. He signaled to the boy to sit down on the chair opposite his. Shane did exactly what was asked of him. He was still fuming with the way Isabel accused him. What nerve she had. "Mr Lincoln, I know that you are innocent and that you have nothing whatsoever to do with the incident involving Mr Jackson," the dean said. He was still deep in thought as his eyes avoided Shane's. One could see that he was in a batt

The voice belonged to Calvin’s father, Richard Fry. He was surprised to see one of his own bodyguards get disarmed so easily. Who was Shane and where did he come from?However, Mr Fry wasn’t satisfied at all. He stopped Shane from dealing the decisive blow because he thought Shane was about to end the life of one of his bodyguards. He just couldn’t stand by and watch it happen. “You three, go get him!” Mr Fry ordered to the other three bodyguards he had around him. Calvin was still shell shocked from when he saw Shane take out the bodyguard like that. He didn’t know Shane was really that capable. Calvin’s plan was to ask his father to be his bodyguard and when his father would ask Shane to demonstrate his skills, he would ask the guards who would be up against him to throw the match. It didn’t look like it was needed with the first guard, but since it was three now, Calvin knew that Shane was in trouble. The three men attacked in unison. The goal was not to give Shane an opening a

After a month of training that way, Calvin could finally notice a difference in his body. His abs became more toned, and his muscles were growing larger and larger. Calvin felt that there was progress in building his body, but he was still pretty much useless in a real fight since he didn’t train how to do that. “When are we finally going to learn how to throw some hands,” Calvin asked impatiently. Shane shook his head. Didn’t Calvin know that one first had to walk before they could run. Since it was a Saturday morning and there was no school, Shane told Calvin that they would start his combat skill training the following morning. Shane was impressed that Calvin managed to improve so much in a month’s time. Shane told Calvin that he could take the day off and rest. Doing too much exercises were not necessarily good for the body. One had to allow themselves to cool down from time to time."I think about trying out for the soccer team," Shane suddenly said out of the blue. There was

"I must say, I am quite impressed. Who would have thought you had such talent?" she teased him. Shane blushed as he heard those words. "Please don't tell me you have been standing around all this time," Shane said. Melissa nodded. She was passing by the soccer field since it was weekend, but she saw the strangest sight as she was walking by. There was a student in the middle of the field, playing soccer while wearing glasses. That was the strangest sight she had ever seen. The closer she got, the more familiar the student looked to her. It was only when he was fouled in the penalty box and he removed his glasses for a second, that she realised that they boy was Shane. Without a doubt Shane was the best player in the match. "I watched your match, and I must say, you're pretty talented. I can't wait to see more of you," she said. "My match was at 11 in the morning. Don't tell me you have been waiting around for almost 7 hours!" Shane exclaimed. Melissa looked to the ground, hiding he

The following day after the incident in the club, Shane and Calvin were on their way to school when they overheard a few students talk about something very interesting. Shane peaked his ears so that he could hear better what it was that they were saying. “They said it was a miracle that a passerby managed to find him. If it wasn’t for that, Pete might have lost his life,” one student said to her friend. “Wasn’t Pete dating Alicia for the past week or two? I think I also heard how one of her other exes mysteriously got hurt in an accident. Do you really think it’s a coincidence?” the other student responded. Shane had a clear idea what they were talking about. Pete, Alicia’s boyfriend, must have been attacked by David. At least that is what she tried to convey to him the previous evening. Shane still remembered how she almost had a begging look in her eyes. She was terrified of David, but she still put on a brave face. What was he supposed to do? He couldn’t just stand around and w

Calvin left Shane alone and said that he would return back to the mansion. He told Shane that he didn't have to worry about sharing the dorm room again, because he didn't think he would return again. Shane understood completely. He let his rage take control of him and dragged Calvin into his own vendetta. That wasn't fair towards Calvin at all. Shane attended his classes that whole day, while constantly looking over his shoulder. It is not that he was afraid of David and his gang, he just didn't want to fight on the campus grounds. What if he get expelled again. The reason he was so brazen earlier to fight David, was because of pure blind rage. He had a tunnel vision and he only saw red when he remembered how David was smiling after he stabbed Derick.During lunch time, Shane went to get himself something to eat from the cafeteria. He heard a few students mention a fight that broke out this morning. He couldn't help but lend his ear to them."So after he and his friends were beaten

How Not To Chase Love Chapter 23: Her Time to Shine
Once Shane arrived backstage of the talent show, he was surrounded by dozens of other contestants. He could see some of them biting their nails with how nervous they were, while others were laughing and chatting with one another. Everyone had a slightly different demeanour. Shane was part of the group who were quite nervous since he saw the huge turnout of people earlier in the crowd. He just hoped that he wouldn’t make a fool of himself when he performed on stage. It wasn’t usually a problem for him to perform in front of a large audience, since he always had Andrew who would watch his back, but now he was all alone. This was a path that he had to walk on his lonesome if he wanted to become a man. “Fancy meeting you here,” a voice said. The voice sounded very familiar so Shane was pleasantly surprised when he saw Melissa calling out to him. She had a huge grin on her face as she looked at him. Shane relaxed a bit when he saw her face. There was just something about her presence tha

Just like that, examinations were over and the university was about to close for the winter break. However, before that could happen, Shane realised that the big day was still coming up. The day of the talent competition had arrived, and the students were buzzing with excitement at the prospect of it. Many of the students, as well as Shane, signed up for it already, so their nerves were starting to get the best of them. The morning of the competition, Shane looked at himself in his bathroom mirror. He felt a lump form in his throat. The day was finally here. He had to go on stage and perform in front of thousands of students. He wondered that since it had come to this, would he be able to go through with it? He received a text message on his phone which informed him about the time and place he should be as well as when it was his turn to perform. He took out his guitar and played 'The First Dance' for the last time in the comfort of his own room. He felt emotions wash over him as he s

Abner Musk was enraged. He was just strolling around with Isabel when Shane suddenly decided to slap him out of the blue. He was one of the wealthier first year students at Sommerset, so he never had someone stand up to him like Shane just did. He was so used to getting his way, so it came as a surprise to him that someone didn’t fear him. Did Shane even know who he was?“You have some nerve lifting your hand to me. You must be afraid of living!” he roared. He snapped his fingers and suddenly a group of ten students, all clad in black suits, surrounded Shane. He was going to teach Shane a lesson, even if it was the last thing he did. Just then, David and a group of his friends, passed by where Shane was. When he saw what was happening, he immediately rushed to Shane’s aid. Although the two of them were enemies at first because David attacked and hospitalised Derrick, David apologised and the two of them decided to let bygones be bygones. Now that Shane was being attacked, how could

Maddie only looked at him once before she pulled the student along. Shane could see from the look in her eyes that she was kind of looking down on him. He immediately rose to his feet so that she couldn’t see him in that pathetic state anymore. “I’m sorry for walking into you,” Shane apologised again. The tall student was surprised to see that Shane was looking him dead in the eyes as he talked to him. He thought that grovelling on the ground fitted Shane better, but suddenly Shane was looking at him eye to eye. “Don’t bother with him, Gordon,” Maddie said as she quickly tugged his arm. Gordon Griqua’s eyes shifted to Maddie and nodded. The two of them walked away from Shane without bothering with him any longer. Shane, on the other hand didn’t want to let her go too soon. How could he? After all, it took him so long to lay eyes upon her again. Just as he was about to say something to the retreating couple, the other student who tried to punch him earlier, took another jab at him.

Shane had his schedule worked out nicely for the next few weeks. He would attend most of his classes in the morning and during the afternoons, he would go for his internship at MST. A month after he started there, he received his first paycheck of two thousand dollars. Shane was ecstatic when he held the cheque in his hand. Although he really wanted to spoil himself, he knew that there was something far more important that needed the money. Shane immediately went to the bank to cash in the cheque and add it to his savings. He took a look at how much he saved already and was surprised to realise that he was only up to 8000 dollars. It had been two months already and he couldn't even manage to get to ten thousand dollars. He still had more than 50 000 dollars to go if he wanted to have enough money to pay off the debt of his parents. Shane let out a sigh after he cashed in the cheque. He knew that at his current pace, there was no way he would get to the required amount in the time th

Just as Shane was about to retaliate against the remarks made by Elsa and her friends, he was interrupted by a girl pulling his arm.“So this is where you have been all along,” the girl said. He turned to look and was surprised to see Melissa. She gave him a look of urgency and started to pull him away. Shane was surprised by her aggressive nature. Just what got into her?Elsa was livid when she saw how bold Melissa got. She was really looking for trouble now. Didn’t she see that they were still busy talking? She got angry and told her friends to surround the two of them before they got away. She was going to teach Melissa a lesson that she would never forget today.“Just where do you think you’re off to in such a hurry?” she asked with an angry face. Shane was starting to get more irritated. What was the deal with Elsa? It seemed like she wanted to make Shane angry. She was just looking for a reaction from him. If that was what she wanted, Shane would gladly agree to give to her.“Sh
