CHAIRMAN’S MANSION.
The chairman is seated in the living room with his lawyer. He’s not even sure if he has close to three months to live. Closing his eyes to sleep is what scares him the most.
“You were saying?”he asked the lawyer.
“It’s gonna be your fourth time changing your will chairman”the lawyer said and he smiled shortly.
“This is gonna be the last though”he coughed.
“At your third change, you gave your son the company he’s with, then said two of your estate should be sold the money should be shared among orphanages while your grandson Dante has the rest, including Stars Highschool”the lawyer said.
“I know. This time, I want Stars Highschool and two of my mansion for Griffin; that’s Dante’s name according to him;(Dante) my grandson. The two estate I said to be sold and shared among orphanages is still intact, but to Sweet home orphanage, an estate should be sold while the money be given to them and lastly, the company my son is in should be that of my grandson Gideon after his arrest while this mansion and another to him also and lastly, the car company is to him”the chairman said.
“As you wish chairman”said the lawyer and he smiled.
Minutes later, the lawyer finally left and just immediately, Axel and Dante walked in, but with Giselle along.
“Grandpa!”both grandsons hugged him and he smiled. The joy having both of them like each other is just enough. He thought he’d have to due in regrets and sadness but he’s gonna be dying an happy man.
“The smiles on you both faces is just too much”the chairman chuckles and they sat beside him, one by his right and other left with smiles.
“Cause you keep growing young grandpa”Axel said and he laughed.
“That was gonna be my line”Dante said.
“But I said it first and it’s now my line”Axel said.
“See grandpa, he bullies me at at any little chance”Dante said and Axel gasped.
“Lying on your brother is something you shouldn’t do”Axel said but Dante stucked out his tongue. They both faced their grandpa but he was staring at standing Giselle. They obviously forgot they came with her. Tracing his eyes, they saw Giselle and screamed then stood up.
“Who’s she?”the chairman asked, still looking at Giselle.
“She’s my….”
“Brother’s girlfriend”Dante said instantly.
“Girlfriend?”
“She’s the one I told you about”Axel stuttered.
“The both of them won’t stop oppressing us”Dante said sarcastically and sat down. Axel gave a I’ll ki|| you sign which made him laugh.
“Hi grandpa”Giselle said after finding her voice. First was that they ignored him and then now they’re all staring. *Really awkward*
“She’s really beautiful”he faced Axel with a smile and Axel returned it.
“Come sit”he tap to the where Axel was sitting.
“Thanks”she muttered sitting.
“This awkwardness isn’t mine, I’ll be in the dinning, need to fill my belly”Dante walked away, winking at Axel who scoffed with a smile. *Dramatic*
“You’re Giselle right? The one who made my Griffin change and go crazy at same time”he smiled.
“Griffin?”
“It’s the name he calls Dante”Axel replied.
“Oh”
“You should call your brother”the chairman said and Axel left.
Giselle understood what he did and she somehow feels nervous.
“You love my son right?”he asked and she nodded before replying “yes”
“Griffin’s father got married early, immediately after college. Yours is just too early, you both are still in highschool”he said.
“We’re still dating, getting married will be after college, oh, that’s same”she chuckled and continued. “But ours can be different, no, it will be different. I’m in love with him so is he, I’m sure we’ll both stay loyal forever”she said and that earned her a smile from him.
“I like you already”he said and they both laughed.

MRS WHITNEY’S MANSION.
EVENING.
“Don’t tell me you like Otto”Archie said behind Hazel. She’s staring at Otto’s photo on her phone. She dropped the phone instantly.
“It’s true”he laughed, sitting next to her.
“Tell me what kind of guy he is”she faced him and he laughed.
“Even at her old and now her new self, she still likes him”Giselle joined them.
“Exactly, I think Otto charmed her or something”Archie said.
“I’m here guys”Hazel said and they both laughed.
“Tell me what type of guy he is”Hazel said.
“He’s cool and handsome, easygoing and funny, my opinion”Giselle said.
“Hmm, he’s nice, Giselle stole all the word already”Archie said.
“Come on”Giselle laughed.
“But I’ve seen him with Maureen’s friend a lot, I think the both of them are like…..”Archie said.
“No, I like him”Hazel said and they faced her.
“Right, you should try your luck, it might be that he just sees Kylie as his sister or maybe he likes her. You can’t know if you don’t ask”Giselle said.
“I support that”Archie stood up.
“Tell me Giselle, you’re close with him, how can I get him to like me?”Hazel asked and Giselle almost laugh but held it. Thinking Hazel would be this close to her, asking her about a guy?
“I don’t know him that much, but I’m sure Sandra would help. We can ask her”Giselle said.
“Thanks cousin”she pecked her and walked away. Giselle held a big smile on watching her walk to the dinning.
“Food’s ready cousin come eat!”Hazel shouted and she laughed in excitement. “I love this!”she screamed funnily.

Dante’s father was about getting into his car when the cops barged into his house.
“What’s this about?”he asked.
“You’re under arrest for the murder of your brother and his wife, you….”
“What the hell are you talking about!”he shouted.
“Please come with us quietly…..”
“You think I’ll take this $h|t, who the hell do you think you all are!”he shouted and just immediately, his father the chairman walked in.
“Instead of going quietly, you’re making a fuse even after being a murderer!”the chairman shouted.
“Father….”
“Don’t you dare say that! You ki||ed your own brother just for money and fame!”the chairman said.
“You caused! I won’t have been like that if you’ve loved us both!”he shouted.
“You always just want to believe what you like. Just cause I didn’t want you to get married at a young age and you’d just so you’d have the company!”
“Take him away!”the chairman shouted.
“Don’t touch me!”he shouted.
“And know this, my Griffin bursted you out. He’s nothing like you and can never be like you!”the chairman said and walked away.

“Otto!”Sandra screamed excitedly as she ran to him. Otto groaned in frustration. Just as she almost get to him, Kylie walked past without saying a word and that made him held her.
“You’ve been ignoring me”he said. Finally Hazel got to him.
“Otto”she smiled.
“I have an early class senior”Kylie pulled out her hand and walked away.
“Otto”Hazel called.
“What?!”he shouted and that made her move back.
“I’m…..I …..”he walked away as she kept stuttering.
“I’m sorry”she finally muttered when he was gone.
Otto eventually catch up with Kylie.
“Did I do something wrong?”he held her hand.
“I really can’t talk now”she tried letting go of her hand but he isn’t allowing that.
“You don’t have any class yet and…..”
“I really don’t wanna fight for anything. It’s true I’ve always have a crush on you, but the fact that I’m a kid and there’s senior Hazel who’s someone I don’t wanna have…..”
“You have a crush on me?”he smirked.
“That’s not what I’m talking about right now”she looked away and he smiled.
“Kylie!”Maureen ran to them and he let go of her.
“See you around kid”he winked and walked away.
“Aww”Maureen gushed.
“Nothing to aww about”Kylie scoffed.
“Come on he was romantic”Maureen said as they walked to class.
“Oh please”
“I’m sure you’re screaming inwardly!”Maureen laughed.
“Stop it”she laughed.

“Late today?”Dante said behind her. She’s in front of the class, baffling on going in or not.
“Oh thank God it’s you Dante”she sighed.
“What?”
“I’ll go in after you”she said.
“I don’t wanna attend class”he smirked.
“Seriously? Don’t start”she groaned.
“I’m starting”he rested by the wall.
“Come on help a friend”she held his hand.
“Go on a date with me”he said and she immediately let go of his hand.
“Why?”
“I’ll just go in”she scoffed.
“I’m handsome”he said and she smiled as she walked in.
“Late in my class?”the teacher said and she smiled awkwardly.
“She’s with with me”Dante also walked in and winked at her as he walked to his seat while she did same.
“I saw that”Otto whispered as she sat.
“It’s nothing”she blushed.
“Don’t tell me….”he laughed quietly.
“You’re blushing”Giselle said behind her.
“Guys!”she groaned.
“Dante and Sandra”Axel said.
“Newest couple”Otto sang.
“Otto and the others!”the teacher warned and they kept quiet but laughed immediately he faced the board.
“S & D”Giselle giggled.
“You didn’t tell us”Axel said to Dante, he’s behind them.
“Guys”Sandra groaned.
“I wasn’t gonna hide it”Dante smirked.
“That’s all for today, see you all on my next class”the teacher walked out.
“Really Dante, when did we become a thing?”Sandra faced him.
“Don’t act all shy”Dante winked and they laughed.
