PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE.
Dante pushed the door hard as he entered.
“The mood, what’s with the face?”the principal asked.
“Shut down the school till I say otherwise”Dante said. The principal looked at him for a while before laughing.
“What the hell do you. think you’re doing, shutting down the school for your own child play”
“Don’t make me lose it, make the announcement right now!”he said and turned to leave but met his grandpa.
“Chairman!”the principal stood up.
“Making rules when you couldn’t even get a proper score”his grandpa said as he took his seat.
“Grandpa…..”
“The girl, who is she?”he faced the principal.
“Mrs Whitney’s niece”the principal said.
“Niece? Hmm, I want to meet her, now”he said.
“She left, she went back home”Dante said before the principal could make a call.
“Why do you want the school closed?”his grandpa asked.
“Cause she’s not in school and I…..I……I…..”
“You what?”
“I….I don’t know why”Dante shuttered.
“Don’t tell me she’s an angel, I heard bullying stopped, also your command, you then became responsible a little, no much night parties and all this happened just cause she was around”he said.
“You like her?”he asked.
“Grandpa….”
“You shouldn’t be like your father, thinking I would let you have a woman at this age, you should remember, your father did just that so he’d own my money”he said.
“I’m nothing like my father”Dante muttered.
“Hmm, hearing this makes me smile but nevertheless, I’m happy she left, you should be back to who you are, being good and nice doesn’t suit you, you and your father are just the same, now I miss my son and grandson, there’s just nothing we can do when death does it thing”he stood up.
“Stop comparing me with the dead! If you want back your son and the only grandson you have then go meet them!”Dante shouted.
A hand on his face made him stagger. He slapped Dante.
“I see you’ve grown, grown to the level of shouting at me!”he shouted.
“Chairman, it’s…..”
“Shut it! And listen, don’t take any rule from him!”he said and walked out.
Dante waited for a while before walking out also.
The feeling when you get to be compared by your brother is the worst but more worse is when he’s not with you but you still get compared.
Dante was about leaving when he saw two scholarship student discussing. The anger in him took over and he lost it. All he wanted was see them cry. He needed someone to lash his anger on and they’re just the perfect people.
“You both! Come with me!”he said loudly and they followed.

CAFETERIA.
“Maureen”Axel joined her and Kylie.
“Hi senior, how are you doing?”she smiled.
“I’m good, did you hear from Giselle, I’ve tried calling her but it’s not going through”he said.
“Don’t worry, she’s fine, she said she won’t be coming through out this week but she’ll call you”she said.
“Thanks”he walked away and just immediately, Dante walked in with the two scholarship student behind him.
“Hey, give me that”he walked to a table of four girls. The girl he talked to raised her tray of food, giving it to him since that’s what he asked for.
He walked straight to one of them, pouring the food on the floor and he stepped on it.
“Eat”he said with a straight face.
“Senior….”the boy shuttered in face.
“f-__-king eat bastard!”he shouted.
“What’s wrong Dante, I thought this was over?”Wyatt walked to them.
“Stay out of it!”he said.
“Dante!”
“Eat it!”
The boy bent down already in tears.
“Don’t do it”Axel approached them.
“What’s with you Dante, I thought you changed, you were all nice back at the weekend…..”
“Shut up! Who the hell do you think you are and to top it, you dare can my name!!”he yelled.
“Dante….”Wyatt tried touching him but he pushed him away.
“Who do you think you are!”
“Giselle, don’t you care about her? You promised that you changed and…..”Dante pushed him before he could complete it and surprisingly, Axel returned it without hesitation.
“Don’t think I’m still weak, I thought you’ve changed, I was gonna forget all you did but I’m wrong after all, you’re just a desperate fool!”Axel spat and another punch hit his face, then a kick on his stomach sent him to the ground.
“Don’t you dare lecture me you lonely orphan!”he shouted.
Axel stood up staggeredly with an attempt to hit him but Wyatt held him.
“Just leave him”he said, taking him out.
“And just so you know, I’m back to who I am!”Dante shouted, leaving the cafeteria through the backdoor.

FINLAND.
AN OLD HOUSE.
Giselle pushed out the window as the morning sun pierced in.
“Sweet”she stretched her hand wide.
“Will you keep doing that”someone said behind her and she turned.
“Dad!”she screamed, running to him.
“I’m fine”he smiled as she took him to the only couch in the living room.
“You shouldn’t be walking yet, and your stomach, you need to let it heal”she said and he smiled.
“You’re just like your mother”he said.
“Then why do you wanna go meet her, just stay here with me”she said.
“Come on, you will get married eventually and leave me alone, I just need to die but death won’t come”he muttered.
“You should stop smoking and drinking, it’s also a sin”she said.
“Not a huge sin, I can overcome it”he said.
“Really? Mom will be in heaven and you in hell, you won’t even be able to talk to her nor touch her”she said.
“Don’t say that, I will meet her”he said.
“I hope so, I’ll go make something for you to eat”she said.
“But you can’t cook”he said.
“I have a phone”she said.
“Baby”he called and she turned.
“Dad”
“You’re gonna go back right?”he asked.
“If you stop trying to die”she said and finally walked away.
Getting to the kitchen, she brought out her phone. Her wallpaper is she and Axel. They took it the night they went to the amusement park.
“I hope you’re fine, don’t miss me that much”she muttered.

NIGHT.
Giselle walked into the huge Mansion.
“Giselle”a lady called.
“Mom!”she smiled, running to her for a hug.
“My baby!”
“Still looking young”Giselle smiled.
“Stop teasing me”she laughed.
“Where’s dad?”she asked as they head in.
“In, there’s news”she said.
“News? Tell me”
“Honey, our baby is here!”she said loudly and the man turned to them. He’s still young too.
“Baby!”he screamed as Giselle ran to him hugging him.
They’re Miles parents and yes, they always treat her like their own.
“You’re just still beautiful”he pecked her.
“And still handsome”she said and they both laughed.
“Mom!”someone called, coming down the stairs.
“And here’s the surprise!”
Giselle turned slowly to the person and her eyes widen with an open mouth as she saw him.
“Miles”
“Not miles, we adopted him and gave him Miles face”she said.
Giselle staggered slowly as she couldn’t close her mouth. Everything is just like Miles. Nothing’s is different.
