SAN FRANCISCO, USA, 11AM*
"Thank you young man" The taxi driver said to Weston in his pure accent as he paid and dragged out his small suitcase out of the taxi.
Weston only raised his eyebrows as an answer.
Bonnie: You need to normalize how to greet people now sweetheart,you're no more in your old school,you're in an expensive school now and you need to make friends.
Weston was on a video call with his fifteen years old sister who insisted that she have to see what his new lodge looks like.
Weston was offered a big scholarship after securing more than 90% in the school entrance exam,getting scholarship into the most popular and expensive school is like a dream,it comes along with free housing,books and supplies which includes free textbooks,handouts and a brand new laptop.
He's in his second year actually,he only transferred from his old school to this one.
Now he's in front of his new lodge,where he immediately guessed other students stays as well.
It's not really far from the main school gate and in front of the large gate is a big estate house.
CRYSTAL TOWER was written boldly on the gate.
Weston: I'm not here to make friends.
His voice,always low,cool and soft,doesn't like stress and doesn't like talk. He prefer being in his own space,studying all day instead of talking.
Bonnie: Oh come on,you are in an expensive school,you need to live your best life!
Weston choose to ignore her this time as he dragged his suitcase behind him while walking to the gate.
Bonnie: Oops,mom's calling. Can you please just send me pictures later? I love you baby.
Weston: Love you too.
He knocked twice on the gate and instantly the door was opened by the security in his uniform.
"New student?" He grinned and peeped outside as if he's looking for something.
"You didn't bring your car?" He asked Weston.
"Scholarship student" Weston murmured.
"Oh,come in please" He said and Weston entered.
He showed him his room card and the security called another man who told Weston to follow him right way.
Weston followed the man at the back but he couldn't help but stare at the different apartments in the compound.
Different buildings,three storeys each,he couldn't count how many buildings are in the estate but there are quite a lot,and in every apartment,there are like three cars each so Weston immediately guessed each apartment contains three students at most.
He's okay with that,as long as he's got his own room separately.
"It's normally three students in an apartment,but your house mate has been living alone for a year now,He's a second year student" The man leading Weston on suddenly told him and Weston was curious.
"Why?" He asked.
"He just wanted to stay alone,so his parents paid for the whole apartment" He replied.
"Then...why am I sharing an apartment with him now?" Weston asked further.
"Maybe he's bored and tired of it,,He's a really good boy,and a rich boy too,you will enjoy him" The man grinned and Weston scoffed.
"Who said I'm here for that" He mumbled.
Soon,they were climbing the stairs and finally in front of the apartment.
"Good luck" The man said and left Weston who was already knocking.
Just two seconds and the door already opened,coming into view is an insanely hot and handsome boy,his face almost too smooth to be a guy.
Even though Weston was kinda mesmerized,his expression remained the same.
"New house mate?" The boy asked with a smirk on his face. .
"Yeah,may I come in...." Before Weston could finish,he already grabbed his box and dragged him inside.
"You're welcome, my name is Dice, and you?" He asked while locking the door.
Weston was already busy looking around the lounge,it's three times better than he had imagined.
Spacey,beautiful,well decorated,three are about five couches,a big plasma TV,center table,everything is just amazing that Weston was wondering If this is really a school lodge.
"The rooms are more beautiful,let me show you" Dice smiled brightly at him and led the way while Weston followed.
"There are two empty rooms available but I'm planning on turning one into a studio×game room,I was waiting for you to pick the on you prefer before going on with my plan" Dice said again.
"Studio and game room? You like music?" Weston looked at him.
"I'm in the music department...."
"Me too" Weston immediately said and Dice smiled.
He showed Weston the two rooms and in the end he choose the one at the end of the passage.
"So..you haven't told me your name" Dice said,dropping Weston's bag.
"Weston"
"You're welcome Wes" he smiled.
"Age? and year?" He asked.
"I'm twenty, second year" Weston replied.
"Are we twinning? I'm also twenty,second year too" Kingsley said.
"Cool" Weston muttered.
"The room is amazing as you can see,but the bathroom is the most amazing part"
"You said the same thing earlier" Weston said and Dice laughed.
"Don't mind me,I'm just happy to finally have someone I can talk to..."
"Don't be mistaken" Weston scoffed.
"Hmm..you look like an introvert,,but sorry I'm not like that." Dice shook his head.
"So how come you don't have friends in the whole lodge?"
"No I have friends but not close friends,,I just talk to everyone,and besides many people come here as well,so be ready for that. I just won't call them my friends"
"Why?" Weston asked.
"Because they are only close to me for the benefits,nothing else. If I have no money,they wouldn't be close,everyone's fake" Dice scoffed.
"So why do you keep entertaining them?"
"Because it's fun,,we are in school and you just have to live the best out of it,so...get ready for tonight,welcome party for you" he winked.
"No please...."
"I seriously won't take no for an answer" Dice said and went out of the room.
"Gosh" Weston sighed and fell on the bed with a loud sigh,he was so tired that he couldn't even get rid of his clothes before sleep took over.
*
It was already six in the evening by the time Weston woke up,loud music booming all over the apartment,a loud groan escaped his mouth and he shoved the duvet out his body,he went out of the room but was immediately pushed back in by Dice.
"You look like someone who's lost,go take your bath and dress up,the party is starting soon" he said.
Weston looked at him,he was already dressed up,in a shirt,the first three buttons are nowhere to be found,making him look hot,He's even got earrings on,his hair perfectly styled.
He's just the opposite of Weston who prefer boring clothes,black and white are his favorite,sometimes he would even wear caps that covers half of his face,or glasses,he just hate to be noticed,but it's like Dice isn't ready to know that for him.
"What party?" Weston asked.
"Your welcome party of course,stop acting like a baby and get dressed already" Dice chuckled and went out again.
Weston sighed and run his fingers through his hair,he managed to undress and go into the bathroom,like Dice said the bathroom is a ten on ten,bathtub,shower,sink,mirror,and neat towels hanged safely up there.
After taking his bath,he put on a black shirt and black pants to match,black shoes,he only arranged his hair with his hands before adding a face cap that hide his face from reality,he took his phone and went out of the room.
The music got louder as soon as he was out,getting to the lounge,it was completely full.
Boys and girls,already drinking and dancing.
"Everyone! Here comes Weston!!" Dice announced and everyone's focus turned to him.
Dice removed his cap and the girls gasped.
👥 OMG!!
👥 He's so handsome!
"Told ya" Dice winked.
Weston sighed and took his cap back from Dice, he forced himself to join the party at least.
Two girls began to rock on him where he was standing to rest a little.
He blinked,no one has ever done that to him before,and honestly he doesn't like it,he just left them there without saying a word,,he stood somewhere separate.
"Dude,are you okay?" Dice walked over to him.
"Yeah I'm fine...thanks for arranging this,kinda fun" Weston muttered and Dice smiled.
"Care for a drink?" He asked.
"I don't drink alcohol" He replied.
"Smoke?" Dice showed him and he shook his head again.
"Guy you're boring" Dice chuckled and walked away.
Weston just stood there,watching everyone,all the boys are actually smoking and drinking,the girls aren't excluded either. Weston was getting bored already,he just wanted to go out for some fresh breeze but he doesn't even know anywhere here.
"Dice?" He called and walked over to him.
He really want to go out a little bit.

STARLIGHT LOUNGE*
Eva stepped into the lounge,her bodyguards walking behind her,but the location was already protected against paparazzi,female celebrities always meet in this place every Saturday,always customer free anytime it's happening so it's even possible for them not to being bodyguards but Eva wouldn't walk alone,never.
The door to the large hall where the night meet is taking place was opened for her and she entered.
All heads turned instantly,they are all girls but normally heads always turn whenever Eva appears.
Her walking steps,her long hair,smiley face,her fashion sense,they are just top notch,she's a role model to even celebrities,a lot of them confirmed it.
"Hi!!!"
"Eva!!"
About six of them ran to hug her.
"How are you everyone" she waved,smiling brightly at them.
"We are good now that the queen is here" Angela said,she's also a musician but definitely not on Eva's level.
"Oh come on,I already told you guys to stop calling me that,we are all doing great" Eva smiled.
"Awwwn,you just can't stop me from loving you" Maria,a model said.
Eva smiled and sat down to join others.
"Aren't we complete already?" She asked.
"No, Rose isn't here yet,Kloe is not in the city right now so just Rose"
"Can't we just start whatever? We can't be waiting for just one person before having fun" Maria scoffed.
Everyone agreed and immediately the party started,the music was already going on,everyone with champagne in their hands as they danced.
*
Outside,Rose's driver just drove in and then stopped the car.
"Why aren't you moving?" Clyde,her manager asked.
Rose sighed.
"I don't actually feel like coming...."
"You know they are quick to judge the situation....."
"They should call me proud for all I care,you know I don't feel comfortable with those people....."
"Still,you have to go and you know that,Kloe's absence is well understand,she's not in the city,but you are here" Clyde replied.
Rose rolled her eyes and opened the car,her boots landing first and then her.
She was wearing a simple outfit of short skirt and a crop top,she held her jacket in her hand and brushed her hair with her fingers to the back.
"You can leave,I will call when I'm ready to go home" She mumbled,putting on her dark shade before going inside,she didn't come with bodyguards actually.
The security opened the door for her right away and she entered,after a minute of walking,she got to the right door and she stopped,she opened the door and entered.
But it was like she wasn't even needed because everyone just continue having fun without sparing her a glance.
Rose walked to a separate couch and a bartender came to ask her what she needed.
"Red wine please" She said,focusing on her phone right away.
"Rose,you're here" Maria chuckled and everyone else turned.
"Hi everyone" Rose muttered.
*She's even wearing dark shade?*
*Who does she think she is?*
Rose heard them murmuring but she pretended not to.
"Aren't you drinking?" Someone asked.
"I will"
"Join the party,come on"
Rose smiled and dropped her bag,she joined others,making sure to keep some distance from her and Eva.
Eva was already in an angle taking selfies with other ladies.
"Gosh Eva you're so pretty!!" Someone said loudly.
"Oh come on,you're also pretty" Eva chuckled.
"You're pretty and also pretty in the heart,are you even human?"
They kept on hyping her,Rose was already busy with her wine,her only prayer was that everything should come to and end.
*
ABOUT AN HOUR LATER*
Rose excused herself and went out to receive a call,it's Kloe.
Kloe: Hey babe,how is the party going?
Rose: I'm forcing it,,I just don't feel anything,I miss you.
Kloe: Me too!! I can't wait to be back.
Rose: I can't wait as well.
Kloe: oh,,I have to go,let's talk later.
Rose sighed and hung up.
Kloe is her only celebrity friend,they are age mates and seems to understand each other very well,in a word,Kloe is tge only person who knows Rose well and everything about her.
Rose was about going back inside when she heard a meow from a distance,as a cat person she turned back at once,but found nothing.
The meow kept coming and that was how she traced the sound,leaving the lounge area completely.
She found the brown fur cat stuck in between a pole and some drums up the small stairs it's a kitten,so small.
Rose immediately climbed the stairs.
"Look at you,cutie" Rose smiled and immediately carried the cat.
"Where's your mom? Are you lost?" She asked.
"Meow" The cat opened mouth cutely.
"Awwwwn,so pretty" she smiled.
"Oh,here it is!" She suddenly heard a voice and she turned to see Eva and Angela coming.
Angela ran to Rose and took the kitten from her.
"Why do you have her?" She asked.
"I found ....." Rose was trying to explain but Angela walked away without listening.
Eva crossed her arms.
"What were you trying to do with the kitten?" She asked and Rose frowned.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"I mean,with the way you hate humans around you,you might want to hurt the poor thing" Eva said and Rose scoffed.
"Just because I don't put on fake smiles like you doesn't make you better than me,don't be mistaken,two face bitch" Rose snapped and made to leave.
"How dare you" Eva grabbed her hair from the back but Rose was faster,she shoved her hand off roughly and pushed her away.
"Ahh!!!" Eva screamed as she lost her balance completely and started falling down the stairs.
But before she could land on the floor,someone caught her.
Rose went downstairs.
"I don't think I pushed you that hard to make you fall,are you acting again?" She asked.
Weston who was still carrying Eva gently dropped her with a little frown on his already cold face.
"Aren't you supposed to be apologizing?" He asked.
Rose looked at him and crossed her arms before scoffing.
"Hey,who are you to interfere?" She asked.
"I should be asking that question,who the hell are you to push a person down the stairs?" Weston snapped.
"You don't know who I am?" Rose asked.
"I don't,and I don't even want to know" Weston said.
Eva chuckled inwardly.
Suddenly they heard some fans rushing toward them,someone might have seen them.
"Oh no...not now" Eva said and immediately grabbed Weston's hand for help.
She removed his face cap and wore it on her own head before dragging him away.
Before Rose could move from where she was standing,the paparazzi covered her up.
Eva dragged Weston into a corner and stopped,she was breathing hard.
"What was that for? Why the run?" Weston asked.
Eva looked at him with a surprised look.
"You seriously don't know?" She asked.
"No I don't" Weston said and removed his cap from her head.
Eva chuckled.
"You don't really have to pretend,you're obviously a fan" She said and Weston was more confused.
"Anyways,thank you for helping me and saving me as well,what would you want in return?" Eva asked.
"I never said I needed......"
"Here's a gift all my fans would die to get" She winked and before Weston could precess what she's talking about,she grabbed his shirt and pressed her lips against his own.
She moved back and smiled at him,her bodyguards already got there and she followed them.
Weston who was still shocked and confused blinked again.
"Her fans? Dying to get a kiss? Who the hell is she?" He mumbled and slowly wiped his lips.
"Is she crazy?" He asked with a deeper frown.
