The next morning, Nic was awake.
Nic went to bathe, prepared his bag for school.
He had forgotten about Sam…
Nic walks into the dining hall.
Joe was there at the dining table.
“Good Morning!” Nic greets Joe.
“Morning Nic!”
“Today, I will send you to school after breakfast but I won’t be able to pick you up as I have an evening meeting tonight. This is the money for today’s meals and transportation plus yesterday’s afternoon meal.”
Nic counts the money, “Wow it’s a bit too much!” (It’s $500)
Joe says, “You can keep the extra money, consider it as saving for you.”
Nic says, “Okay, thank you.”
After they eat breakfast, Joe sends Nic to school.
Joe went to the office to do his work.
Nic walks to the school canteen as he feels thirsty for a drink.
He orders the water bottle so he can keep drinking the whole day.
(Our second actor is good for wise action, same as his brother.)
“Hey, Nic good morning!”
“Oh, Sam Morning!”
Sam says, “Let’s hang out today after school, as will be free from now on we can hang out every day.”
Nic smiles okay.
RING RINGS RINGS…..
“Oh, the school bell rings… Let’s go to classes; see you after school.” (Now you all know the audience, they are from different classes.)
Nic goes into the classroom.
Shaun says, “Morning Nic!”
“Morning Shaun!”
Shaun says, “Today, let’s hang out together?”
Nic thinks it’s not a good idea to date both guys in one go…
“Hmmm… Sorry, Shaun. I am not available today.”
“Oh, you have something on?” (Shaun and Nic always hang out together before Sam comes into the picture. But for some reason Sam never sees Shaun’s face or knows he exists.)
Ken hospital; thus he can’t say he’s going to hang out with his brother.
Nic can’t find any excuse to lie too.
Shaun looks at Nic’s face as he has been silent for a moment.
Nic says, “I am going out with a friend that has saved my brother.” (This is the truth; thus Nic didn’t lie.)
Shaun knows the truth and he says, “Oh.” Shaun asks why not we meet him together; we can go for eating and shopping.
Nic sees Shaun’s expression; he seems a bit weird.
Nic says “Hmm… Maybe it’s a good idea and says okay.”
Shaun says, “It’s a deal then.”
The teacher walks into the classroom.
They stopped talking.
Nic sighs in his mind.
‘Oh, this is bad…
Then he thinks again, why is it bad?’ Firstly Sam and he are friends there is nothing to hide.
Shaun and he are best friends also have nothing to hide. Get faster updates on g.com.
Nic thinks maybe this is stress because his brother is in hospital.
Shaun looks at Nic; he says, “Let’s see who this stalker is.”
Sam didn’t know what was going on to befall him after school.
After school, Sam waited at the gate.
He sees Nic walking beside a guy?
“Who’s that? You are walking too close to each other!!”
Shaun smiles at Nic while Nic smiles.
Nic sees Sam wave at him.
Nic says, “Sam sorry for waiting.”
Sam asks, “Who is this?”
Nic says, “Let me introduce, this is Shaun, my best friend.”
Shaun stares at Sam.
Sam stares at Shaun.
A pause of silence in starting…
Nic wonders if Sam had fallen in love with Shaun at first glance.
Shaun says, “Hi, I am Shaun;” He extend his hand while waiting for Sam to shake.
Sam shakes hand, “I am Sam.”
Nic stared at both of them, which makes him wonder if he was a lamp light.
(Our Nic thinks the wrong idea!! They love you!)
Nic voice out to break the silence.
“Let’s go for lunch, I am hungry.”
Shaun and Sam says together, “Okay.”
Nic smiles and walks in between them.
Both of them caught up with Nic at walking pace.
Nic feels funny, as though they are brothers beside him.
(Our second actor is very naive; Nic doesn’t know much about romance.)
Nic says, “Let’s go to Atron Mall; I want to eat the special buffet there. My brother always brings me here to eat the buffet, but now he is not here.”
Shaun hugs Nic and says, “He will be alright; you have me here.”
Sam quickly hugs Nic too; “I am here for you.”
Nic says, “Yes thank you, buddies, alright today is my treat I will treat both of you.”
Shaun and Sam immediately says, “No, you cannot treat.”
Nic says, “Oh.
Since both of you say so, okay we go “Dutch”, then the movie later is my treat.”
Shaun and Sam say “Okay.”
Nic says, “We reach the restaurant, it is a short queue.”
Shaun and Sam rush to pay the bill at the counter.
Nic hadn’t even taken out his wallet and he was shocked.
The cashier says “Sir, the total bill is $150; who pays?”
Both Shaun and Sam flash their cards for payment and due to the fighting of payment, the cashier says, “I will swipe $75 each per card.” (To make everyone happy.)
The cashier is wise here so that it doesn’t create a fistfight at the counter.
It will draw public attention and the restaurant will be in trouble.
Nic feels embarrassed and silent.
After the payments, the waiter shows them their table.
Nic says, “Let’s go look at the buffet spread.”
Shaun and Sam walk beside Nic.
This causes everyone to look at Nic.
It’s like Nic brings out 2 bodyguards.
Nic feels uncomfortable and turns to both of them; “You both can find the food that you like, don’t have to follow me.”
Shaun and Sam say “Okay.”
Nic walks away to the other side of the buffet spread takes his food, and turns around to make sure both Shaun and Sam are not behind him.
Nic seems afraid of them both.
Suddenly, he looks at the people around him, staring at him.
Nic thinks maybe people think he is a rich man’s son or a mafia son. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
This causes Nic to be very uncomfortable and he feels dangerous since he might suddenly be a target for people who have evil intentions.
When Nic goes back to his seat, shortly, Shaun and Sam sit.
Nic says, “Let’s eat for 30 minutes and we will go.”
Shaun and Sam wonder why so fast they go since it’s a buffet spread they can enjoy for 3 hours.
Shaun and Sam ask, “Why?”
Nic says, “I feel if we eat slowly, the movie will start soon and if we missed the ShowTime, the next ShowTime is at 10 pm which is late.”
Shaun and Sam think and agree with Nic.
Nic quickly eats, and he quickly gets up, takes 2 full plates of food.
He goes to take another 2 full plates and he continues to take 1 Coffee, 1 Tea, 1 Coca-Cola, and 1 Beer.
Shaun and Sam are amazed at how Nic eats.
Astonished beauty eating for 30 minutes; Shaun and Sam think it’s amazing Nic for 30 minutes 4 1/2 full plates and 4 different types of drinks.
Nic finishes his food in 30 minutes as time frames.
Shaun and Sam seem to be able to eat only 2 full plates and 2 drinks; they are full.
Nic says, “Let’s go.”
Nic quickly walks out of the restaurant.
He feels his handphone ringing, and he answers it.
Nic says, “Hello?”
“Nic, it’s me, Joe, where are you now I will pick you up in 20 minutes.”
Nic says, “I am at Atron Mall.”
Joe says, “Noted, I will pick you up in 20 minutes from now at the front door.”
Nic says, “Okay, thank you.”
Shaun and Sam wonder who called him.
Nic turns around, “Sorry guys, I am unable to watch a movie today; Joe will pick me up in 20 minutes.”
Shaun and Sam says “It’s alright.”
Nic says he needs to go washroom now because he drinks 4 drinks…
(Too much water) Nic didn’t come out after 5 minutes.
Shaun and Sam think how Nic takes a long time into the washroom.
Shaun and Sam walk inside the washroom; they didn’t see Nic.
Shaun and Sam start to call Nic, “Are you here?”
Nic replies, “Yes, inside one of the cubicles.” (In truth, Nic hides inside the cubicle after he had a pee and because he feels uncomfortable about people staring at him earlier on.)
Nic says, “I have stomach pain; please wait for me outside.”
Shaun and Sam say “Okay.”
Nic takes 15 minutes, he comes out and plans the timing is so perfect that Joe will be picking him up.
Nic walks to the front door and Joe is there.
Nic says bye to Shaun and Sam.
Joe drives Nic off.
Nic in the car seems too scared; this causes Joe to ask Nic, “Are you alright?”
Nic replies, “Yes, I am alright.” Nic didn’t mention it further or explain it either.
Joe just focuses on the road as it wasn’t good to focus on 2 things when you are on the road.
Nic falls asleep; this causes Joe to forget about why Nic looked scared earlier on.
Joe calling Nic to wake up, we reach the Mansion.
Nic opens his eyes, “Oh thank you.” Nic says goodnight and walks into the Mansion.
Joe sees Nic sleepy face, “Goodnight.”
