HIS ARRANGED FIANCEE

Alex Brown, a final-year highschool student who loved to hide his status from outsiders most times except for his close friends who knew everything about him. He came all the way from San Francisco, California to the small town in Mexico for hiking and vacation together with his twenty-nine other classmates.He could be seen pacing down the staircases with his whole school squad closely behind him. Face straightened up, eyes narrowed, lips curved into a devilish grin and with two of his fingers tucked into his well-tailored suit trouser. Just looking at his facial expression screamed the guy’s respect had been trampled upon.He led the squad to the motel coffee counter and rested one of his arms on the counter before saying authoritatively to the pale-looking attendant."30 cups of brown coffee at the sixth floor. Right now" he said as he drummed two of his fingers on the well-polished white wrapped counter, fixing a deadly gaze at the innocent-looking coffee girl attendant

Alex, let's play some games now"Bryce said as he slumped down on the couch in front of the TV and stretched the hand that was holding a remote to Alex."I don't want to" Alex shrugged, lied face down on the bed with his face buried in the pillow and ignored Bryce's stretched hand. Bryce, who was surprised at his friend's reaction, rose up on his feet and gestured towards him."What's the matter, Alex? I don't want to play alone."He said while still on his feet. He was trying hard to figure out what the hell had made his friend reject a video game of all things."I'm fine. I need some sleep, that's all. Call someone else, ”Alex said with his face still buried in the pillow. Bryce smirked and bit his lower lip before bouncing on Alex on the bed and threw two friendly punches on his back.Alex groaned and tossed left and right before lying face up and said:"I'm sorry."Common Bryce, you are so annoying." "Tell me why you've been moody since the morning after the cof

Kayla slumped down briskly on her bed and was glad the moment Carina's text popped out at the right moment she needed it."Xup babe, gist me. What's popping?""Hey, girl, it seems they are finally trading me off" Kayla texted back in a hurry."Have you found out about the family yet?" Carina texted back."No, they are trying to surprise me with it, and I'm not even interested in knowing it, ” Kayla texted back."Oh, so sad, but I would like us to carry out some sorting, will that be cool with you?" Carina texted."Maybe I will feel better if I know the family before meeting them in three days time" "Exactly. It can't be the MCSmith because their last grown-up boy got engaged two months ago" Carina cleared out in her text."That's true. The Jones have been visiting us lately and acting nice to me. I won't be surprised at all if they turn out to be the surprise package that my parents have been talking about" Kayla texted."The Jones are okay. They hav

"Alex, you won't believe this. I bumped into one of those girls." Bryce said, still standing.Alex, who was about taking another gulp from his red wine, almost choked on it. "What!? Which girls!?" He asked with a raised eyebrow even though he knew the girls that Bryce was talking about.Bryce sat down on the leather couch that was facing Alex."One of the girls that we met in Mexico." He explained and traced some imaginary image with his finger on the table that was between them."Which one of them?" Alex asked."The one that called me a pickle."You don't mean it. Where did you see her? Are they together? Is she with her?"Alex asked surprisingly, sprang up from his seat suddenly and gulped the remaining wine in his wineglass down at once."Chill,dude."Bryce said to calm an obviously nervous Alex down."I bumped into her on my way to the restroom, but the bathrobe wasn't with her. She was alone and...drunk." Bryce started wondering about what was going t

The seconds Bryce took a sip of his wine, he felt a small hand on his thigh. He slowly looked down and his eyes fell on pink painted nails, long, slim fingers and a small wrist with a glittering bracelet.He knew whose hand that was, and he stylishly thrutch the hand away from his thigh while praying silently that Alex hadn't had a glimpse of what was going on."Bryce" Alex called out suddenly.Bryce almost choked on his food upon hearing Alex's voice."Pass me the milk," Alex said.Bryce slowly handed over the milk to Alex, and he was happy that it wasn't what he was thinking it was. Some minutes later, he felt the hand on his thigh again, but this time around, the hand was holding a small piece of paper.Ava placed the small paper on Bryce's thigh and looked away as if nothing had happened.Bryce nervously tucked the piece of paper in his trouser pocket and poured himself a full glass of French Martini which he gulped down hastily before rising up to
