Chapter Eighteen “You are very good in this.” He said in a sweet tone. “I am a healer Sir, so with my acupuncture needle, healing was a piece of cake for me.” Alexis said, she continued to work in John. “What is your name girl?” John asked again, his eyes still remained shut together. “I am Alexis air, I gave no third name.” Alexis said without fear any longer, "So tell me Alexis; why did you desperately want to die?" John asked again in an aloof tone, just as Jude was aloof all the time.

Preston had used an ugly red and yellow building as the icon and he had named the app Health. Cassie knew that naming it For Isabel was silly but naming it Health was the most unimaginative idea that she had ever encountered. Daniel had been right; they were going to have difficulties marketing the app, especially if they kept that shitty name and icon. Ever since her discovery, she had begun to wonder if she should confront Preston about it. Unless she had concrete evidence against him, he was just going to deny any accusation thrown at him.

I said making sure I put emphasis on her name. “See I know already I can't deal with you and yall haven't told us your names either.” Essence said with a giggle. Her and Kimani seem to be really cool and down to earth type of chicks, unlike the majority of the girls around campus, who only care about clothes, shopping, gossiping, hair and makeup. Although Essence and Kimani were dressed nice they were comfortable, it was different then the usual females. “My name is Syncere but people call me Syn.” I answered. “And my name is Shawn.” Shawn answered.

The sun was beginning to set, the orange color blending into the sky naturally. I leaned back, using my hand as support. A heavy sigh escaped my lips, one of satisfaction. “This is nice.” I mumbled. Thane glanced at me, nodding once. “It is.” There was a beat of silence, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Until, he broke it. “Alternate Thane,” He said. “Is that what you call me?” I chuckled. “Thane from the alternate universe.” I explained awkwardly. He snickered. “That means alternate Mira, alternate Luca, and alternate Nathan. Such an unexpected addition to our names.” He said. “Oh! Alternate Theresa too.”

sagot namna nya sa akin Hindi mahirap pakisamahan si Kurt, lalo na at magkaibigan na kami noon palang. Ni hindi nga ako nanghinala kahit na magkapareho ang surname/middle name namin. All along akala ko coincidence lang iyon, hindi ko naman alam na blood related kami nito

He looked around, wondering what to say, but after pestering for a while, he finally took a deep breath and looked at Ranveer. "I imported them from a different country," Naman answered. "What? How's that even possible?" Ranveer was shocked. "What? I have a business of imports and exports, can't you think that's possible for me?" Naman scoffed. Ranveer was quiet for a moment. He looked around and huffed. "If it's so, then tell me the name," he demanded. "Andrew Pearson," Naman responded. "What? You're bluffing. He can't be," Ranveer shrugged.

I wouldn’t want that. Then I turned to the teacher, and let out a deep breath; one that no one noticed. “My parents nick-named me Alyssa, and it kind of stuck. But my real name is Ale Sean.” “Alright, but we can call you by the name Ale, that’s not a problem. You should know that name could get you some unwanted attention, sometimes.” I nodded my head and tightened my chin as I turned back to look at Neon Newton. “Now, start!” The teacher voiced out, and Neon charged at me immediately.

Jayce said, answering my curiosity. “What is inside it, then?” Jayce didn’t answer my question but opened the box, and inside was a beautiful silver pendant with a star on it. “It’s beautiful,” I said, as Jayce wrapped it around my neck. “What is this?” I asked, looking at the star on it. “It’s a north star pendant,” Jayce said. “Do you know what that symbolizes?” I shook my head at the words.

His eyes quickly became soft, he was about to speak but someone interrupted. "Stop daydreaming, Carnelian!" someone shouted from nowhere. My forehead quickly wrinkled as my eyebrows almost crashed to each other. "I'm not talking to you, Bane!" I shouted back. Well, I got to thank my memory for remembering his full name. Killix Bane, a too-cursed name. I smirked. Imagine someone naming you Kill, then your surname is Bane, which means the cause of ruin. I chuckled. "Is there anything funny?"

“It’s still new. Not big yet, but it’s growing.” “Since when?” Gevan asked quietly. “The past few months,” Sheena answered. “I just didn’t talk much about it.” Gevan swallowed. “What’s the company called?” “GHANA GROUP,” Sheena replied calmly. Gevan fell silent for a few seconds. “That name…” “It’s taken from Ghani’s name,” Sheena cut in. “I want something that I truly build on my own.” Gevan nodded slowly. “Then… where do I fit in?”
