Early the next morning Warren walked towards the room next door and knocked softly. There were giggling noises coming from within and Warren could feel his heart skip a few beats.'It's best if I face the music now and get it over and done with,' Warren thought to himself. He was greeted by the familiar face of Claudia who opened the door. She wore her pajamas as it was still early in the morning. She rubbed her eyes a few times to make sure that it wasn't playing any tricks on her."I'm so sorry. Is Lloyd home, there is something I..." Before he could finish he was greeted with a loud slap across his face. Claudia couldn't wait to make him pay after the embarrassment she had to face the previous day."You have some nerve showing your face here again. Lloyd he's here!" she shouted. Within a few seconds a rather burly man appeared in the doorway. It was Lloyd Williams. The tank top that he was wearing exposed his rather bulk

Time flew as Warren was lost in thought. It wasn't long till he heard a few voices near him. Looking at the source, he was surprised to see Samuel walking with Lauren.'When did they meet and why do they look so intimate?' Warren wondered. Not wanting to bother or waste any time with Lauren, he got up and prepared to leave."Warren, it really is you," Samuel said. He smiled as he approached his friend. The smile on Lauren's face, however, turned into a frown."Samuel, I think it's best that I leave. There are certain individuals I don't want to be associated with. If it's alright with you, I'd like to take a rain check," she said.Samuel could only smile awkwardly as he knew about Lauren's relationship with Jennifer. He also didn't want to put Warren in an awkward position, that's why he didn't refuse Lauren from leaving. As Lauren disappeared from sight, Warren couldn't help but look at Samuel with a hint of disappointment in his eyes."So you guy

Warren saw his uncle sitting on his usual chair with a gloomy expression on his face.  However the moment he saw Warren, his expression immediately changed. He hurried over and embraced him. It was a little bit awkward for Warren since his uncle was never one to openly show emotion like this. Something must be bothering him, otherwise he would never be so affectionate now.   "Warren, it's good to see you my boy. It has been way too long!" Warren responded by smiling and saying "Yes Uncle. It has been too long, I hope my absence wasn't too much of a hindrance to you and Aunt Joanne. " "Not at all," Uncle Geoffrey laughed.  He made small talk with Warren until Aunt Joanne called them for dinner. Time really flies when you're having fun, and since Warren and his uncle had so much to talk about, they didn't even notice that almost 3 hours have passed. Aunt Joanne made her specialty: fried rice with braised po

'He just had to say it, didn't he?' Warren thought to himself.It is true that 'Wax Man' is just a name that Gary came up with in order to taunt Warren, but the name in itself also carries a lot of weight. Back in high school, Gary was a real bully. He had his ocassional pranks with which he would unnerve a lot of students. One time he poured super glue in Warren's hat, and when Warren put it on, the hat became stuck. Warren had to forceully remove his hat, but in doing so, he lost the majority of his hair. In order to avoid any more embarrassment, he cut his hair bald. This action, however, caused a lot more harm than good. A lot of his other classmates also started bullying him more fiercely when they saw his bald and shiny head. Warren had to stay at home for two to three weeks so that his hair may grow back. The bruised ego he suffered back then, caused him to become even more introverted as well as enhance the fear he felt for Gary. He could never forgive nor forget that

Still looking in awe at Warren's back as he was leaving, Miss Sun's thoughts were interrupted when Kayla pulled on her hand."Miss Sun, could you please call my mommy. I want to go home. It is not right of me to bother you on your day off." Kayla didn't want her teacher to feel bad, since she already felt as if she was a burden to her. "Don't worry, Kayla. I will call her immediately so that you may be reunited with her." After that Miss Sun called a number and conversed with a certain individual for a minute or two.30 minutes later a Porsche Taycan arrived at the school gate. Out stepped a very beautiful and elegant woman. She looked as if she was in her mid twenties and her exquisite and classy demeanor could turn any men's knees into jelly. She greeted Miss Sun and after a few pleasantries, she left with Kayla. Warren, on the other hand, just arrived at home. His aunt was waiting for him with her arms crossed in front of her c
