Chapter 50: The results
My Rival My lover/glorypens
Alex povThe hallway was no different. Groups of students clustered together, their voices a mix of excitement and speculation. Normally, I would have walked straight past them, but something caught my attention, a line forming near the notice board.I had followed Peter, who was acting so mysterious, but he had disappeared on reaching the administrative block. And behind me was Luke, who had a scowl on his face. He had reluctantly followed. He was angry that Peter had interrupted us, but Curiosity got the better of me. I needed to see why Peter was so riled up that he would damn any forms of public shame.But I was not ready to see the enormous crowd before me. What was so important that everyone was lining up for it? I adjusted my bag and cautiously approached the crowd. As I drew closer, I caught snippets of their conversations.“Did you see his name?”“She totally nailed her audition!”“I can’t believe I didn’t make it...”My chest tightened. The auditions.I froze for a moment, m

Alex povI could hear the beat of my heart pounding frantically in my chest. The kiss started soft, tentative at first, as though we were both testing the waters. But the first few minutes passed in a blur, before everything began to heat up.“You don’t have to be so tense, Alex,” Luke murmured, his voice low and soothing, a warm vibration against my lips. His hand brushed gently against my cheek, and I couldn’t help but lean into his touch, savoring the warmth of his palm. “Just relax.”Relax. The word sounded so simple, but my body didn’t seem to understand it. My heart was racing wildly. I tried to calm down, but the intensity of the moment made it impossible. My hands hovered awkwardly, unsure of where to do with it. while Luke took charge of the kiss with a quiet confidence that left me breathless.Luke’s hands found my waist, sliding up my bare back with an ease that sent shivers trailing down my spine. His touch wasn’t hesitant, it was sure, deliberate, as though he knew exactl

Alex pov“Shut the f**k up” I shot back, my voice rising. “You show up out of nowhere, acting like you’re in charge, and expect me to just go along with it? Who even are you to me?”“Alex, calm down,” my mum said, stepping between us.“No, Mum!” I snapped, the words spilling out before I could stop them. “I’ve had enough of the secrets, the lies, the half-truths. I know what’s going on. I know about Dad, that he didn’t abandon us. I know about the inheritance. And I know that he,” I pointed at Viper, “is a secret agent of my father that has been pulling the strings behind the scenes.”The room fell into a pregnant silence. My mother’s eyes widened, and for a moment, she looked genuinely startled, almost like she would burst out crying any moment. But then, to my utter shock, a small sad smile crept onto her lips.“So,” she said, as if she was stating the obvious “you’ve known all along.”“What?” I blinked, completely caught off guard by her sudden shift in demeanor.She chuckled soft

Alex povThe boardroom was like a courtroom. No, it reminded me more like an execution ground I have watched in movies.As I stepped out, my sagged shoulders felt like the weight of the whole world had been lifted from my body. I could know when I have been this thankful about leaving a room. The air felt sweeter and the silence that now surrounds me is giving me a chance to calm my nerves.I had endured the intense scrutinizing eyes. Like an execution ground, I felt like I was the lamb to be slaughtered while the richly dressed board members was my executioner, each with his or her own sword waiting for the right time. every glance, every whispered word, could decide my fate. The rich mahogany table had seemed too large, the leather chairs too stiff, and the air too suffocating.I had managed to descend the stairs, despite my shaking and trembling legs. My mind replayed the scene over and over, as if trying to dissect what had just happened.It had been fine at first, or as fine as i

Alex PovThe next day felt like the world had tilted away from its axis. I felt it immediately when Viper dropped me at the school premises.As I walked towards the school, my mind swirled with thoughts I couldn’t quite pin down. The revelation of my connection to my father, the legacy I hadn’t asked for, and the uncertainty of how it would affect my life, all of it weighed heavily on me. The words of viper last night were still clear in my ears, yesterday night, after dropping me in front of my house: “Lay low, Alex. The less attention you draw, the better for now.”That had seemed like solid advice at the time. And I plan to keep it that way. Wouldn't want my peaceful life to be destroyed. Like he said ,lay low. But the moment I stepped onto campus, it became apparent that “laying low” was no longer an option. Or rather, it was never an option.The whispers started before I even reached the main building. Small groups of students huddled together, their eyes darting toward me as th

Alex povI couldn’t be more thankful hearing the bell. Signaling the end of lectures. I rushed out of the class even before Mrs Green could even say “boo”.Sounds illegal, right? But seeing as the bitch was trying to get on my good books, because of my new identity, I guess she wouldn't be offended.I was already going out of my mind from all the pretense and forced smiles from those that have taunted me. Laughing at me when the Elites and Andrian made my life a living hell. It makes me want to throw up seeing how people change overnight.I breathe a sigh of relief, enjoying the silence of the closet that I had hidden in. Now is time for lunch, and I know going there now would be disastrous. After 30 minutes, I crept out, making my way to the cafeteria Wilhite trying my best not to encounter anybody.***********The appetite I had for food this afternoon died immediately when I entered the Cafeteria. It was like I wore a magnet and the students were a bunch of heavy metal. What surpr

Alex PovHis face was a storm of emotions, hurt, anger, and confusion. My stomach sank.“Peter?” I said cautiously.He crossed his arms, his eyes narrowing as he looked at me. “So it’s true, then?” he asked, his voice thick with disbelief.“What’s true?” I asked, already dreading the answer.“That you’re one of them,” he spat, the word dripping with contempt. “An elite. You’ve been one this whole time, haven’t you? And you didn’t say anything. Why? Were you using me this whole time? Was I just some… some project to you?”His words hit me like a slap, and for a moment, I was too stunned to respond. “Peter, no,” I said, shaking my head. “It’s not like that. I didn’t even know until recently…”“Oh, so now you’re the victim?” he interrupted, his voice rising. “Do you know how stupid I feel? Defending you, standing by you, only to find out you’ve been hiding this the whole time?”People were starting to gather, their curiosity palpable. Phones were out, cameras flashing as they captured th

Alex pov As I walked into the hallway the next day, my eyes scanned the crowd, hoping to find a particular face. I noticed that the students were now minding their business, only hidden glances and hushed whispers,it was a far cry from what happened yesterday. The V.C, as promised, has taken care of it. I was thankful for that, I didn't know what she said or did, but it worked perfectly. I wear my normal hoodie and dark glasses to cover my sunken and swollen eyes. I did not sleep well last night. Constantly thinking about Luke and how he didn't call me throughout yesterday. Then I saw Luke standing by the lockers with his usual nonchalant posture, talking to a few guys from his basketball team. I breathe an air of relief. At least he is okay. I have been worried as to what his actions will be, finding out that I am not the poor boy I was. A nervous smile broke across my face, a flicker of hope rising in me. I pushed my way through the crowd, weaving between clusters of students u

Alex povThe thoughts of the badge was on my head throughout the whole day. followed by what it actually meant. I couldn’t concentrate the whole day, even in sports. The coach had to call me back several times, as I kept on spacing out. According to Andrian, it's a secret party for a select few. I slung my backpack well, crossing the gate of my college.“Alex!”I stopped in my tracks and turned. It was Luke jogging toward me, his expression earnest. His hair glinted in the sunlight, and there was something softer in his eyes now. Was he feeling sorry?“What do you want, Luke?” I asked, crossing my arms.He stopped a few feet away, catching his breath. “I need to talk to you. Pleassse, hear me out.”I raised an eyebrow but said nothing.“I’m sorry,” he began, his voice quieter than usual. “For everything, I know that you are hurt for how I’ve acted, the things I’ve said. I was a complete jerk, and I don’t blame you for being mad at me. I am sorry.”I blinked, taken aback by the sinceri

Alex povI stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the collar of the black button-down shirt Linda had insisted I wear. My palms were sweaty, and my heart thudded loudly in my chest. The thought of attending an Elites party, a world so far removed from my own, filled me with unease.“You’ll be fine,” Linda said from her spot on my bed. “Just don’t let them see you sweat and tremble all around. It will spell doom on your face day. Confidence is key.”“You don't understand, Linda, this party is absurd. Firstly I don't know if it's some kind of a cult gathering and two of all people , Andrian, had to deliver the letter.”“Calm down, Alex, it's just a party” Linda tries to smoothen my Ties, but it is always shifting.“It's not just a party, a freaking induction, what if we kill someone, or drink blood, that's what happens in induction, right?”I was already going out of my mind. And to top it off, I don't even know where to begin. Or where to go to the induction. I only know that it will
