The students are already coming back into the lobby right now, the game is over.
He went back to the room, wishing November would have woken up already but he was disappointed that she hasn’t.
As predicted, he started becoming weak and a splitting headache crept into his head.
It hurts immensely and he squeezed up his face as he searched for the headache tablets among the pills containers.
He finally got it and swallowed two before laying beside November but the headache never left him.
His head kept pounding in his skull and he started sweating profusely.
Despite the fact that it’s an hot summer,he started shivering too.
He closed his eyes as every bad thing happened to him at once.
He almost shivered out his heart as the cold and headache kept getting worse.
“It hurts” he whispered, tears slipping out through the corners of his eyes.
November moved slightly beside him and went still afterwards.
She moved again and her hand brushed Newton’s hand.
The hotness made her open her eyes and turn to him immediately.
Her eyes widened and she spranged up.
“Bunny!” She crawled fast to his side and held his face but it’s burning hot.
His eyes are tightly shut.
“You’re burning up!”
She made to climb down the bed but he pulled her back and she fell beside him.
He hugged her tightly to his burning body.
“Don’t go anywhere” he whispered.
Tears are still coming out of his eyes slowly.
He’s obviously in pains
“I need to get a wet towel please, you might pass out Silver, I’m not leaving you” she said and stood from his side.
She rushed into the bathroom and got a new towel and a big bailer.
She went to the freezer and got freezing cold water which she poured into the bailer before dipping the towel.
She started touching his face with the wet towel gently, wiping the sweat and making sure the coldness reaches everywhere.
“It hurts” he whispered and she almost started crying.
His pains is surely reaching her.
“Sorry bunny, it’ll relieve you once I’m done cooling down your temperature” she said.
She continued the cold towel treatment till his temperature calmed down and his shivering subsided.
He got a relief balm from the available kit and rubbed it on his hands and feet, then his face too.
He wore socks on his feet before sleeping beside him.
She covered them completely then she slipped her hand around him.
“Please get well soon” she whispered as his hot breath fanned her face.
“I love you” he whispered and she smiled.
“I love you bunny, sleep ok?, I’m right here” she replied and he wrapped his right hand around her waist too, bringing his face to her chest.
He rested his face right there and slept off like that.

Ixora entered her floor with Eve and they bumped into Wendy immediately.
“Eve let’s talk” she said and took her hand.
Ixora stopped her by holding Eve’s second hand
“What’s going on?, How can you suddenly come and take my friend away” she said and Wendy smiled.
“She was never your friend” she said.
“What?” Ixora said in confusion.
Eve removed her hand from Wendy.
“What are you talking about?” She said and Wendy winked at her.
“You’re a good actor baby”
She was about to leave when Denver appeared.
“Baby!” She tried holding him but he stepped back.
“Don’t touch me or I’mma slap you” he said with an hard glare before getting into the elevator.
Ixora looked at him till the elevator door closed completely.
Wendy left angrily.
“Did they break up?” Ixora wondered, walking away
Eve got a text as she walked behind her.
It’s from Wendy.
NOW THAT DENVER CAN’T BE MINE AGAIN, MAKE SURE HE DOESN’T HAVE ANY CHANCE TO BE WITH IXORA TOO….IF YOU WANT YOUR SECRET TO CONTINUE TO BE COVERED
She finished reading and cold sweat slipped down her spine.
“What are you doing?, Walk faster!” Ixora said.
“Oh..yeah” she replied and ran to her, they entered their room together.

MONIQUE & DAHLIA’S ROOM**
Monique came in with tears in her eyes, hoping to see someone to console her, but that hope dissipated immediately she entered.
Dahlia was also crying.
“Dahlia what’s wrong?” She sniffed on tears as she rushed to her.
She squatted in front of her and raised her teary face.
“Why the tears?”
“You’re crying too” Dahlia sniffed.
“I’ll have to let go of Francisco completely, seems he really can’t like me, and it hurts” she cried.
“I confessed my feelings to Ricardo, he told me to cut the crap, it hurts too” Dahlia cried and Monique hugged her.
“I don’t think love is on our side” she sobbed.
“At all!!” Dahlia cried loudly.

THE EMPERORS FLOOR**
Kennedy is not in when Francisco entered, it’s understandable cos he’ll be spending the night with Esmeralda.
Newton is not in too which got him worried.
He was about to go look for him when he sniffed smoke in the air.
He entered fully and traced it to Ricardo’s room.
He opened the door and met him smoking like a maniac.
There are over ten burnt cigarettes on the ground already which he has smoked.
“Ricardo!” Francisco rushed to him and tried taking the one in his hand from him but he pushed him away.
“You knew about it… right?” He stood
His eyes are so red.
“About what?”
“November and Newton!, That bastard is dating her!” He shouted and Francisco sighed.
“You found out?”
“Just answer my question already!, Do you know about it?” Ricardo snapped.
“Yes, he told me about it” Francisco replied and Ricardo smiled shortly.
“So I’m the only one who knows nothing about it, you guys made a fool out of me!”
“You and KK actually” Francisco replied.
“How could he do that to me!, How could Newton do that!” Ricardo said angrily, smoking his stunt again.
“He loves her more than you do, that’s just the bitter fact” Francisco replied.
“Stop talking about what you don’t know, you have no idea about what I think!” Ricardo blurted.
“I love her too but I’m laying low!, I’m doing just fine!” Francisco yelled before knowing it.
“What!” You love her too?” Ricardo said shockingly.
Francisco sighed and stepped back.
“Stop fussing around” he said and walked out of the smoky room .
Ricardo hit his fist on the wall, wounding himself.
His knuckles produced blood as he brought it down.
He leaned on the wall and started crying again.

SEVENTH FLOOR≈ LAST ROOM**
Kennedy sat with his phone, playing games while Esmeralda walked around the room, looking at everything.
They actually came here immediately after the walk, for the night they have to spend together.
The atmosphere is awkward cos of the kiss they had earlier.
Esmeralda knows not how to start a conversation.
She held her phone with both hands as she walked around aimlessly.
“Are we here to walk around?” Kennedy suddenly looked up.
“Huh!”
“You don’t have anything you wanna talk about?” He asked.
“I don’t think…so”
“What’s your full name?” He asked.
“Esmeralda Sophi…. Barrett” she said, hesitating before saying the last one.
“Oh… Sophi” he smiled.
“Yours?” She asked.
“I’ve beared just Kennedy all my life, my mum is not here anymore to tell me if I have a middle name” he replied.
“Where’s…she?” She asked.
“My dad divorced her since I was a kid, and since then, I haven’t seen her, I don’t know where she is or if she’s doing well” he replied.
“Our story is similar” she replied.
“How?, You have your parents” he replied and she smiled.
“That’s what everyone thinks”
“So?”
“Forget it” she replied and made to walk away but he pulled her back and took her to the bed.
He sat her on it and went for the kit under the dressing table.
He got a bottle of treated oil and came back to her.
“Your burnt fingers” he said, taking it.
“You saw me getting hurt?” She asked and he looked at her.
“Of course”
He took turns to dip the finger into the cold oil and the pains disappeared magically.
“It worked!” She said.
“Of course, it’s highly effective” he smiled and wore plastic patches on the fingers before returning the oil.
He came back to her and sat beside her on the bed.
She looked at him and met him staring already.
They started staring at each other without saying a word.
She just wants to forget everything about the thr_@ts and Newton tonight, and do what she wants.
She was about to move closer when her phone buzzed.
She checked immediately.
*HOW’S IT GOING?, SEND ME FEEDBACKS*
She put off her phone and threw it on the ground.
She faced Kennedy swiftly and connected their lips before he could talk.
His eyes rolled in their sockets and he quickly broke it.
“No, I get turned on easily” he said but she immediately reconnected their lips.
This time, he responded and she came to his laps.
She sat on it and the kiss went crazy just like the other time, if not crazier.
She rubbed his body as they kissed fast, their lips making cute pouty sounds.
His tongue made it’s entry into the sweetness of her mouth and she sucked and teased it seductively.
The kiss became aggressive and faster as she snaked her palms under his shirt and started caressing his bare body.
His bulge grew fast and she could feel it on her butt
He was about to turn her over to the bed when she broke the kiss.
“Let’s…let’s stop” she stuttered senselessly.
“After turning me on?, No d@mn way” he replied and yanked off her top immediately.
He brought down the right strap of her bra and kissed her shoulder, then her neck and ear.
“Kenny….
He unhooked her bra behind, still kissing her fast as he threw the bra away.
