Bethel’s Pov:
I cupped my chin in my hands and tried to stop myself from screaming.
Oh my God!!!
Ryan actually passed the first test!
Is this a dream?
He passed the test swiftly. Oh, my gee!
Now, it’s two more to go. I can’t believe this sh*t really works.
????????
Ryan’s Pov:
I stood at the balcony with the phone over my ear.
“Yes, McCarthy, I know” I said, tiredly, touching my forehead.
“And why the hell aren’t you here, yet? Lady K is already waiting”.
“Yeah, I’ll be there shortly. I lost track of time”.
“Really? Well, hurry up Ryan. You know how important this meeting is. You always joke around with everything” he grouse.
“Hey, I’m not joking, okay? I just miscalculated the time. I thought the meeting was scheduled for 8:30. I had no idea it was 8 a.m. I’ll be there in a moment” I replied, already heading into the house.
“And that reminds me, Ryan; do you remember the red suit you were putting on yesterday? I want you to repeat it today for meeting” he said and I stopped walking and scoffed.
“What’re you talking about? Why the hell should I do that?” I asked with a crumpled look.
“Come on, Ryan. That suit was a killer. It made you look so manly and I love it soo much. Its gonna create a good impression at the meeting…”
“McCarthy, are you kidding me? Why on earth would I repeat a dress? You know me – I don’t do that sh*t. Besides, I have other lovely clothes to wear…”
“I know, Ryan; but I really love that suit a lot. Even my daughter had secretly taken a picture of you. Just for today, put it on; will you?”
“I’m not, McCarthy. And you know it…” I replied and continued walking into the house.
???????
Bethel’s Pov:
I took my bath and dressed up and it was on my way out of the room that Ryan returned to probably get ready as well.
I went downstairs and joined the family for breakfast. And since I had taken tea already, I decided to eat just a little portion.
“How has school been lately, Bethel?” Ryan’s mum asked.
“Uh..it’s going on well. Our final exams will be coming up in a short while” I replied.
“Hm. Finally, someone will stop having to wear uniforms to school” Lana said, Making me smile.
“Congratulations, dear”.
Just then, I heard someone clumping down the stairs and lifted my eyes to see it was Ryan.
Holy Molly!
I was taking in some wine, but the shock of what I saw made me spill it on my uniform.
“Bethel!” Ryan’s mom called, abacked.
My uniform was damn stained.
“Are you alright?” She asked, but I was too foxed to give a reply to it.
I looked at Ryan again and…what the hell?
I’m not dreaming, am I?
Ryan…he was putting on the same clothe he wore yesterday – the red suit!!!
Is this for real??
I opened my eyes wide in shock and stared at him crazily. There was no way it could be a dream.
But, Ryan…how’s it possible?
He doesn’t repeat clothes? How’s it possible he passed the test? It seemed impossible to me.
Oh God;
“Good morning, mom; Good morning dad” he greeted when he got to the dining.
“Yeah, morning”.
“Good morning, love. How was your night?” His mum replied in an endearing tone.
“It was fine. Thanks” he stated and headed for the door.
“Ryan, aren’t you…”
“I’m not hungry”, he cut her off and walked out of the room.
Immediately, I stood up with my bag.
“Are you done eating? ” Mrs Winthrop asked.
“Yes ma’am. Thanks. Bye”, I said and hurried off.
I ran after Ryan and caught up with him just when he was about entering into the car.
“Ryan!” I called and he stopped to look at me.
He was trying to button his wrist button.
“Yes?’ He replied.
“Um…sorry to interrupt you. But….I just wanted to ask. Wasn’t this the same suit you were putting on yesterday?”, I asked.
“Yeah – is there a problem?” He asked and I gulped nervously.
“Um…Of course, not. I was just wondering.. I…I thought you don’t repeat clothes?”
“Well…something came up and I had to break my rule. Its just this once and I’m sure it won’t happen again”, he replied and entered into the flashy SUV jeep which had already been opened for him.
I stood like a stature and watched as the cars drove out of the building.
Oh, my God!!!
I brought out my phone from my bag and dialed Nicole’s number.
She picked at the third beep.
“Hey, girlfriend!” She beamed.
“Nicole,” I quivered on the phone.
“Ryan just passed the first two tests!”
???2/3

Lady K’s Pov:
I sat comfortably on the couch and waited for Ryan to arrive so we could leave for the meeting together.
I was just playing games with my phone and was feeling bored already. I’d been waiting for close to an hour now.
Not long after, my second phone beside me started ringing and I checked and discovered it was Judy calling.
Huh? Judy? Royce’s sister?
I can remember the last time we spoke. I thought she was avoiding me?
Why the hell is she calling me now?
