MORE FIGHTS?BUTTERFLY LODGE, 7:00PMANDREW'S POVI drove my favourite sports car into the parking lot of Butterfly Lodge before tipping the security guards and then making my way towards the stairs.The Butterfly Lodge was a hostel for scholarship students that my father, Silas Grey established four years back. As an alumni of AUT, he had always been supportive of the progress of the university.His reason for establishing the university was to help poor students like my mum had been when she was younger. It kinda made me proud to know that I was responsible for the fees of a lot of students living here, without them even knowing.Taking the stairs two at a time, I made my way to the first floor of the building where Robin stayed with Stacey and Clara.The past few days had been emotionally draining for me, so much so that I almost lost trust in everyone.The feeling of total betrayal, that too from someone who I loved and trusted so much with the things I loved the most, it was just
EXPLANATIONS AND REVELATIONS PT 1ANDREW'S SECRET BASE, 7:10PM."It's nothing Rob, Andrew's here for you. You can go with him now," Stacey tried to convince Robin, while I stood, confused at what just happened."How can it be nothing? Clara just ran out while crying, why was she shouting? What's going on here?""Let's just go, I'll explain it all to you in the car. Stace, I'll have to borrow your friend for the entire night, if that's okay with you. She has a lot of studying to do and I intend to help her out.""It's no problem, but what would you do about those false accusations?""You don't have to worry about that, okay? We're going now. Bye," Robin replied and then we left the flat.On the drive to my secret base, I explained the entire argument to Robin."Do you have an idea why she's reacting that way?" I asked.I mean for all I know Clara's the bad guy in the story, she was the one who let Evans down.I figured Robin might have an idea about Clara's version of the story and th
EXPLANATIONS AND REVELATIONS PT 2"That's true, Harry is Dr Anthony Edwards' only son. He's probably doing all these things to take revenge of my family for what my father did to him. But Dr Anthony deserved every bit of it and even more. He lied that I wasn't the son of my father, made our family relationship to crumble. What sort of doctor does such a thing?" Andrew frowned."All the things that have happened in both of our lives seem more like a movie than reality. I never signed up for losing my parents so early in life and being exploited by my uncle of all they left for Jack and I. You also have had life difficult, being looked upon like a bastard by your dad. I'm really sorry for everything Drew," Robin sympathized."I'm also sorry Robin for the suffering you and Jack went through after you lost your parents. It's good that Jack now has someone who makes him happy again. He told me that Sapphire had a lot in common with your mum and that was what drew him to her. You have to gi
WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?ANDREW'S SECRET BASE, 8:30PM."Andrew what are we gonna do? The competition is set for Monday and that is only two days away. I'm afraid we might not have enough time to clear our names.""I'll find a way, don't worry after all these drama stops, I'll make sure to remove the membership badges of many Bravers. Look at these comments, how can our own team act so irrationally like this. Such brainless people shouldn't be in our club, most of them who are doing these things have been unproductive in the club. There's no point keeping them," Andrew said with a frown after going through the comments on the post."Take it easy babe, they're all just scared of what's happening to the club. You don't have to evict them."Andrew's phone rang once again. It was Rita and he quickly answered the call, while putting it on speaker phone."Andrew I just saw the post and I think this is Robin's doing. She probably thought she'd get support from The Bravers if she showed you guys
WHO'S THE LADY?HARVEY SNACKS DINER, 8:50PMAndrew and Robin watched John from behind a car as he stood in front of Harvey Snacks Diner. He appeared to be making a phone call and then all of a sudden, his car behind them, opened and out of it came Max Reed."Isn't that Max? Why the hell is Max coming out of John's car?" Robin asked confusedly as she watched Max walk up to John.They appeared to be discussing something and from their body language, it was obvious that they were quite familiar with each other. Now the question was, how exactly did they know each other and why was John even smiling with the guy who destroyed her image on campus."I've always had a feeling that John was a two-faced person. This only proves my suspicions right," Andrew replied."No, it's not possible. What exactly are you trying to say? Do you mean that he's Max's accomplice?" she asked, refusing to believe that her best friend could be anything but the angel, she had always known him to be."You've said
USING HIS WEAKNESSANDREW'S APARTMENT, 9PMThroughout the entire ride, none of them said anything as they rode in comfortable silence. On getting into Andrew's apartment, Miller welcomed them with questions."Hi Marcus, wait a minute, why is Marcus with you guys? What took you so long? Did you get the things I asked you to buy?""Hi Miller, we got you your chicken wings and of course a bucket of ice cream and mango juice," Robin replied with a smile as they moved to the games room, where Jenna, Joe Evans, Sandy and Matt, sat waiting for Andrew and Robin to arrive."Okay let's have the wings and ice cream before we discuss anything yet. It's enough for everyone, come on Robin dig in," Miller said, already opening the bucket filled with chicken wings and stuffing one into his mouth."I'm not interested in chicken wings or ice cream. I'm on a diet and so is Joe. Right baby?" Jenna asked in a high pitched tone.Joe who wanted to have a taste of the chicken wings his brother so much loved,
USING HIS WEAKNESS?ANDREW'S APARTMENT, 9:30PM"His weakness?" Sandy queried."Yes, Sandy. You might not know about this, but Harry's school fees are personally handled by Andrew. He's been the one sponsoring him all these time. We could threaten him with cutting all the allowances that Andrew has been giving him if he doesn't confess the truth to everyone," Miller smiled evilly."No way Mill, that would just mean we're also stooping low like him. His financial situation has nothing to do with this, besides since he's on good terms now with Max and John, he could easily rely on both of them for sponsorship," Robin replied."Robin's right on that. I have another idea, here's what we'll do. Tomorrow I'd schedule a meeting here with all members of The Braves at 12pm. Robin will notify all The Bravers and Harry will attend just like everyone else, knowing nothing about our plan to expose him. All the evidence we have will be displayed on the screen and then he'll be interrogated. Of cour
GOING TO CHURCHANDREW'S APARTMENT, 7:30PM"Remind me why I agreed to this again," Andrew grumbled while coming out of the closet dressed in a charcoal black suit with a black bow tie to match. He had on designer shoes to complete his look.His jet-black hair was combed backwards in a different style from the one he usually did, which made him look just like a model on the runway, rather than someone who just got out of the shower after having little sleep."You agreed because you wanted to," Robin answered coming out of another closet in the room.She had on a grey coloured, knee length dress that highlighted her curvy, but slender body. Her long ginger red hair was plaited in a French braid, which made her look more mature than usual."You look good babe. Damn good," Andrew praised."Of course I do. Be quick we have to be early so that we can meet the first service. Your parents will be here soon," she said as she took a seat on the couch in the room.Looking into the large mirror i
