[Max’s Mansion]
Remo and Frank and Scott are behind the mansion where the pool is.
There’s a Sunday party going on.
Exclusive to certain students of RIDE, and the mansion thumped with energy as music pounded the walls.
Students are like 30…not too much, but still enough to party.
Remo is just climbing out of the pool, but the other three guys are still inside, chatting.
“So you’re saying your stepbrother collided into you by the hospital door yesterday, and the prick didn’t apologize?” Remo said.
“He walked off, like he didn’t see me…” Scott replied, swimming to the other edge of the warm pool where he picked a wine glass.
“Shall we waylay him on his way to school tomorrow and beat him to death?” Max said.
“I was just about to say that,” Frank replied sharply.
“I don’t have the time to deal with him right now. I’m gonna spend this new week making sure Cove joins my football team.” Scott said.
“Didn’t you say you’d enter him through Dorian?” Frank said.
“I can only enter him through Dorian in school, fool. I can’t just go meet Dorian at home.” Scott rolled eyes.
“Can everyone stop talking about those bastards? Instead, talk about Elmira and Max.” Remo said.
“What’s going on?” Scott faced Max.
“I’m Fuçkin that girl…” Max shrugged.
“It’s a d@mn lie!” Scott said.
“Dude, you need to watch the video of how she rode a knife last night… Thanks to Max who filmed it for us. She’s wide, too professional. And the way her @$$ was clapping? d@mn” Remo laughed, swallowing a pill.
“I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by anything in RIDE again. This semesteer came with madness, and I’m ready for it.” Scott chuckled.
“You better be ready. Feels like this semester is just starting tomorrow cos last week with that stupid uniform was arse!” Frank said.
“Hunny!” Kehlani came in, and the guys stopped talking immediately.
“Lani!” Scott smiled.
“What’s up captain?” She waved.
“Max’s woman!” Frank hailed.
“If that’s to make me blush, then you passed,” Kehlani blushed and stuck her palm with Frank.
Remo said nothing.
He just hissed and left.
Kehlani hissed too.
Frank and Scott left with Remo.
Kehlani sat on the edge of the pool, and Max swam over to her, standing between her wide long legs.
She’s wearing a bikini, and it’s clinging to every part of her slender body like a second skin.
“The Mixer dance formation will be out tomorrow morning, and I’ve made sure the Mixer manager will put us together. Remember we had our first sèx last year during our freshmen Mixer, so it’s a memorable night for me.” She whispered.
“Me you both… I met the Mixer manager to put us together too. If it’s not you, I’m not dancing with nobody,” he winked.
Kehlani’s fingers threaded his hair, and her forehead rested on his. Their breaths aligned, eyes locked.
Their lips kissed, slowly and passionate…so much that when they broke it, she Mõ@ned.
“I love you Max. I wasn’t lying when I said I’d die if you screw me up. I can’t live without you, baby.” She whispered romantically.
“Lani, I can’t get away from you. Rest assured, I’m all yours…” He muttered, kissing her again.
But his mind has images of just one person …. Elmira.

[Zendaya’s Mansion, 9pm]
Zendaya got home ten minutes ago.
She didn’t leave Montana Mansion till Stacy came out of her room, and together with Tasha, she had girl-bonding time with her.
They took plenty pictures and had a mini home picnic before she returned.
Now she’s just coming out of her bathroom, towel molded carefully around her body.
Her bedroom is far different from Stacy’s. While Stacy is Pink and Black with the glittering goth barbie style, Zendaya’s room is matte Black and shinny yellow.
Instead of teddy bears, she has a pet parrot, and the parrot is purring restlessly from it’s decorative cage.
Zendaya cleaned up and picked a shirt from her closet.
It’s a black shirt with black stripes.
Earlier at the hospital when Stacy was rushed over, she was wearing a strange shirt and shorts, and Albert ordered for the two to be burned immediately.
Zendaya was about to handover the shirt to a guard to burn when she inhaled the scent of vetiver from the shirt, and she held it back.
Only Cove smells that way, so she took the shirt home, knowing for sure that it belongs to him.
She wore the shirt, and she only wore a thin P@?tië? under it before going to her bed to lay.
She rolled around the bedspread, trying to make his scent stick to the bedspread too.
She was giggling, smiling and chuckling as she did.
So d@mn drunk in love.
She did that for more than five minutes, then she sat up and picked her phone.
Of all the apps on it, there’s OBSCURE.
She’s one of the users too.
She clicked on it and opened her dark secrets room, typing three thick paragraphs before closing the app.
A text popped up on top of her phone from the Glitz group.
Lani: Anyone online?
Zendaya went online immediately, so happy to see everyone is online including Stacy.
Tania: is anyone still holding grudges?
Lani: Zen, sorry for my outburst earlier, just that I still can’t stand your crush on that guy.
Zendaya: It’s fine, babe. Just leave me alone and let me love him in peace.
Tasha: Are we here to reconcile?
Stacy: Can we switch to video? All-night…let’s talk till tomorrow morning I’m so lonely!
Tania: You have your in-house housekeeper with you.
Stacy: Anita? She’s on a break tonight, says she wanna go see her daughter.
Zendaya: And who’s this daughter of hers?
Stacy: (voice note) can we not spend t’night talking ‘bou my housekeeper?
Tasha: that latina accent gets me every d@mn time!
Kehlani: We finally get to wear outfits tomorrow instead of the boring school uniform! Am I the only happy one about it?
Stacy: Shall we pick a dress code? And please…let’s ride in the same helicopter tommorow… please!
All: Deal.

[Montana Mansion, 1am]
Stacy proposed that they chat till daybreak, but she’s the one who got sleepy first, so they had to end the facetime at 12, but immediately the facetime ended, sleep flew off Stacy’s vision.
Her eyes stayed open.
Since an hour ago, she has been rolling to the right and left in bed, cuddling her teddy.
Now she regrets ever ending the FaceTime with the girls.
She’s the only one in this big house right now except the flank of guards guarding the house in and out.
Restlessness got so choky she left the bed, went to her home library and picked the textbooks they’d be needing in class tomorrow.
She settled down to read.
Her phone buzzed with a text, but she didn’t check it.
Unknown Number: Hey, Brat.
Till the phone screen went off, she didn’t even see it.

[Next Day, Young Mansion]
The morning rush is ongoing again.
Silas and Owen preparing to go to work, Kane and Scott preparing to go to campus.
Owen and Silas are already at the dinning, eating light breakfast of bread and veggie omelette together.
Scott dropped his weight on the staircase, coming downstairs hurriedly, dressed.
It’s all white day for him and his guys cos they chose a dress code for the first mufti day of this semester.
He’s sporting all-white, even dyed his hair white.
He looks different.
Before he could get to the base of the staircase, Kane appeared on that staircase too, looking hot.
He reshaped his hair edges, and they could cut right now. His bun is smaller, but cuter.
Also, he’s rocking all-white, intentionally matching with Scott’s friend zone.
He dyed his hair white too.
The shock that formed on Scott’s face when he saw him was big.
He stopped below the staircase, watching with wide eyes till Kane got to him and smirked.
“You’ve got freckles? Why am I just seeing em?” He said, looking at Scott closely.
Scott’s eyes widened.
Kane is talking to him boldly???
“I guess you covered them before. You should be proud of them… they’re cute.” Kane smiled shortly, then he shoved Scott out of the way.
Without saying greetings to Silas or Owen at the dinning, he left.
Owen smiled secretly, her lips thinning.
Her son is finally out of his shell!
With a shirt run, Scott rushed out of the house, and Silas smiled too.
“They’re getting along, I think,”
“Of course,” Owen smiled wide.
Outside, Kane was already gone when Scott arrived.
Scott got in his car and pulled out his phone, dialling Remo.
“Yo, bro!” Remo’s thick voice boomed.
“I want Kane wounded today. I want him on a wheelchair.” Scott said.
“Oh…well… What can I say…I’m game!” Remo grinned evilly.

[RIDE University, 8am]
It’s like another week of resumption entirely cos today is the first mufti day.
Today marks the start of slutty revealing clothes in the campus.
Now students can ride helicopters and cars that match their outfits, and there are already different arses and breàsts on display.
Different new tattoos that were covered by uniform before are now out… everyone is overdoing.
Most of the girls did liposuction, and some like Elmira did BBL.
For the first one hour of the morning, students took pictures at the field, the park and the driveways.
It’s too colorful.
In the midst of all these, Cove entered the school in his dull-colour hoodie and the same dull baggy jean.
The hood covered his head, and his backpack containing his laptop is on one shoulder.
As usual, girls struggled to snap his pictures in hallways.
He stayed cold, stayed unconcerned with their cameras, till Dorian suddenly appeared from the elevator of his top lounge.
“What’s up Fabio!” He beamed.
He came to campus early cos he’s gonna leave early. He has a modelling shoot and a TV appearance later today.
Like the rest of the students, he overdid too. He wore a necklace today, a bright red shirt and black pressed pants. His bulgari watch is reflecting with the sun.
“Heard your tutorial starts today,” He told Cove, and the moment Cove wanted to answer was the same moment screams happened.
Glitz Society entered the campus from the airfield.
They’re the queens of overdo anyways, so they’re not playing.
Bum shorts everyone… just that it’s in different colors and brand.
Stacy’s is the shortest…that’s expected.
She dressed old money, but she still managed to stand out.
And Zendaya stood on business too. She wore a coat on her outfit, and the morning breeze was carrying it, each of her steps sending the scent of pinewood into the air.
Students made way… respect.
They’re h@tëd, but their fashion sense is not deniable.
“All that dress sense and Stacy still has nothing upstairs. Her GPA is drowning,” a student muttered.
Not loud enough for anyone else to hear though.
Down the hall, Dorian and Cove didn’t stop walking like the rest of the students, but they’re aware that the girls are here.
“The Mixer dance formation is out!!!” A student suddenly screamed, and the hallway changed immediately.
Students began running to the bulletin board to check cos the first list is pasted on the board, not posted online.
When Stacy and her babes arrived, the board is already full of students checking their names.
Kehlani pushed some students away so the girls stepped forward to check where they belong.
Kehlani screamed happily when she saw she has been paired with Max for the dance.
Tania got paired with Remo, and she began laughing immediately, nearly choking on laughter.
“Nah…the manager of this formation is kidding me!”
Tasha got paired with another boy from their major.
Zendaya got paired with Frank!
But Zendaya isn’t interested in that one…..her eyes are on Stacy’s name instead.
Stacy got paired with Cove!
Not just any pairing.
Stacy and Cove will be the king and queen dancers who’d do the Special Tango Dance Of The Mixer.
Stacy Montana and Covey Fabio!
Zendaya’s heart broke, but Stacy looks so confused as she stared at the board, then murmurs started flying around right there.
• Stacy of all people?
• The hell! No it’s not making sense!
• How is Stacy dancing with the same guy she sent to lock up cell!!
“Feels like a setup,” Kehlani said, smirking.
“I like it, actually,,” Tasha said with a smile.
Tania has already gone to the manager office to complain.
“No…” Zendaya muttered fearfully, suddenly grabbing Stacy.
Stacy gasped.
“You know how I feel about Covey. You don’t like him, right? Switch places with me. Let me be the queen dancer instead.” Zendaya said.
“What!” Stacy gasped.
Everyone’s watching them now cos they’re in the middle of the students.
“Please… please switch places with me I beg you,” Zendaya held Stacy tighter, nearly breaking her.
“Zen stop!” Stacy found her voice.
“Switch with me!” Zendaya shook her head obstinately.
“I can’t!” Stacy snapped. “You know what happened between us yesterday and I’m still gonna try to make him forgive my dad! I need every time I can spend with him so I can’t.”
“Then you’re wicked!” Zendaya shot, her eyes already getting watery.
“What!” Stacy’s mouth widened.
“Stacy, if you refuse to switch with me, then our friendship is over this morning…” Zendaya muttered, tearfully.
“What the hell???”
TBC.
