**I sat quietly in the hall , my pen on my desk by the side of my booklet.I looked up at the clock , ten minutes past three.I sighed as I stretched on my seat , twenty minutes more and it will all be over.I relaxed on the seat . The past one hour had been really tough.I looked down at my booklet again , I had worked really hard on this , studied till late at night , researched , met my lecturers , done all I could possibly do to pass all tests throughout this week.I hadn't showed up at the basketball court or at any club , I could only pray it'll pay off , I was confident as well.
I just wanted to make my father proud of me. He needed to know I was good for something , I was his son after all.
"Okay students , pens up"
I heard Professor White say , as he walked towards us.I watched as students gave their booklets to him.He smiled at three of his favourite students before he finally got to my desk.He adjusted his glasses so that they rested above his nose , frowned and looked at me.
Creepy ass nigga !He was the only lecturer in Beverly I was actually scared of.I cleared my throat as I looked up at him, I managed my brightest smile as I spoke.
"Good afternoon sir"His eyes drifted to my booklet , then back up at my face .My eyes were still on his when he bent , looking under my desk.I was so close to plucking a strand of grey hair from his head when he ducked back up.I plastered a smile on my face again and he frowned.
"You seem overly confident today Mr Cage . I'm sure you wouldn't blame me for wondering why "He said , placing his left hand on my booklet , eyes still fixed on me.A wide grin replaced my nervous smile .
So that was it .I chuckled , " well sir , permit to say that this paper was quite easy , at least I'm sure of a good percentage of what I've written down in this booklet "
He nodded curtly as he took the booklet in his hand , placing it under the other booklets in his hand.
" We'll see about that when your results are out "He muttered , quite loudly cause I heard . But I was too stressed to manage a reply.I was out of the hall by three thirty sharp when I heard my phone ring.
I smiled as I answered the call.
"Yo , Cage"The voice at the other end called and I laughed."What's up bro?""Finally done with the god damn papers"
I replied , I waved back to a couple of girls who waved at me as I continued to walk to my car." I heard White was in your hall today "
"Dude still scares the living shit outta me "
We both laughed.
"So now that's it's all over , wanna come hang out , just added a couple of games to my laptop"
Now that was a tempting offer!
But I really needed my rest. My head ached and terribly.I sighed , "I'll love to man, but I've gotta pass , I need my rest "
A pause at the other end of the line , then he spoke.
"Oh well , I guess I'll ring up a couple of other dudes"I opened my car door , then smiled.
"Thanks man""You know I love you"
Damn Patrick Sawyer...damn!
"Fuck your gay ass man!"
I laughed .I heard him laugh at the other end of the line as I entered into my car.
"I've gotta hang up now dude , about to hit the road "
"I'll ring you up later , plus , you still owe me gist about the dark girl"
'The dark girl' was his nickname for Alexander.
I nodded, "yes sir"
I hung up as I put my key in ignition , I couldn't wait to get home.

Alex POV**"You okay Alex?"I heard Pionee ask , bringing me back to the real world.I sighed as I looked up from the desk I had been cleaning absentmindedly to her."Nothing much , I'm just worried"I answered , tucking the napkin into my red apron.She leaned on the counter , her curious blue eyes looking into mine."What's up?"Was I really willing to start the story again?
"You had better not think of using the phrase long story on me again"
She added curtly and I couldn't help but smile.And she read my mind!
I leaned on the counter , resting my both hands on the wooden stand before looking at her .
"There's this guy.." I began.
"Tell me about it !" She suddenly cut in , eyes widened as she made herself comfortable on a stool.I rolled my eyes , she could be really annoying sometimes.
"Well, I like him..a lot , and since we went on our first date , he hasn't called me , or even texted "
I suddenly became sad , it really bothered me."I'm scared Pionee "I finally said , resting my head on top of my hands ."Scared that he's not interested?"
"I guess"
I replied ."Have you called him?"
I looked up at her with sad eyes , would it really be normal for me to call him?
"Should I do that?"
She smiled at me , placed a gentle hand on my cheek and nodded.
"Tell him how you feel , be open, don't just sit here and worry yourself to death "
"You think I won't look... I donno , cheap?"
She laughed , I could tell she tried her best to stop when I frowned.
"No , just at least text him"She returned back to the balance books , laughing as she did so.
I decided to text him , I needed to know my next move.
I picked up my phone..Here goes nothing .**
Lucas POV**I settled for a plate of steaming hot noodles and a glass of yogurt for lunch.I had bought all necessary ingredients on my way from school.After taking a cool bath , I threw on a pair of joggers and headed straight to the kitchen .
Noodles was ready in less than twenty minutes and I served it in a cream colored stainless steel plate , yogurt in a cream mug as I sat on a stool in the kitchen.I took in the scented spicy aroma of my food as I smiled.
I had only taken a spoon when my phone beeped.Who on Earth had decided to ruin my afternoon?I was so ready to ask whoever it was to text me later until I saw her name on the screen.UglyHey
I swallowed hard , smiling as I did so.
Hi , ugly:-)
Don't call me that :-(I smiled ,
What do I call you then?B-)Beautiful (+_+)I couldn't help but laugh , she was indeed an epitome of black beauty.I'll call you rn :-*Okay.I smiled as I dialed her number.
"Hello beautiful"
I heard her laugh . I was really getting addicted to the sound of her laughter."I was getting worried , you hadn't texted me in a while"Shit!!
She was right.I had been so caught up in all the exam stuff I barely have time to send or reply a single text ."And it's been a week now. Have you been okay?"
The concern in her voice was very obvious.I looked down at my noodles , it was already getting cold.
Screw it ! I could always microwave."I'm so sorry Ugly , tests and all..I took my last paper today though. Enough time for anything"
The way I stressed the "anything" made her laugh.
"Get your head back on Earth Cage , well , I just wanted to check up on you "I smiled at her shyness.
She had a lot to say to me , but didn't know how to.How?How could I make her free around me?How could I get her to say what I wanted to hear her say?What she wanted to say..."Look Lucas , I'm at work now, can I call you later?"
"Hmm..sure , don't forget though "
"I won't , goodbye "
My smile broadened , "bye"
As she hung up , I stared at my plate of cold noodles.
"Microwave time"

Ugly and the prince Thank Y*u
Writer POV **He had woken up to an email from his school. He sighed as his sleepy eyes met the grey coloured laptop on his reading desk.He had been lying down on his bed -torn between getting up to jog and allowing himself another three hours of sleep- when he heard the beeping sound.He groaned as he sat up on his bed , stretching his arms and yawning. Standing up, he staggered to the wooden desk at the distal end of the room where his mirror stood. He drew out the chair and fell on it.He typed his password when he was instructed to and the bright home screen of his laptop was brought to view."A mail from my school?" He said aloud , as his hands raked through his dark hair.Yes!It was already time for his results to be released and the mail was a notification
Ugly and the prince Meeting Adam
Writer POV**The white man with the grey eyes was what Pionee had called him. Alexander remembered how she had almost laughed her lungs out at the name.She had only met him once , at Hayley's house and she hadn't taken time to give him much as a second look before she stormed out in tears.But now, Pionee had just received a call that he'll be managing the store from now on. Hayley was currently , indisposed."I thought he has a job"Alexander stated , she couldn't believe their old cheerful Hayley would be replaced by her grandson."He does , that's why he'll only need around on weekends , Fridays to Sundays"Pionee looked away from the telephone to the cash book .Alexander sighed as she looked around the store. "I just hope she gets well soon you know"Her sad eyes looked down , focused on the brown carpet . "I miss her" she continued.

Ugly and the prince One step at a time
Writer POV **Alexander groaned as slowly opened her eyes to see the two females that meant the world to her sitting by her side ,pillows in their hands as they smiled ."What is it with you two?"She complained , rubbing her eyes with her palms and stretching."Can't a lady get some sleep around here?"She continued , glaring at the them.They just stared at her with baby eyes , like children who's favourite toys had just been snatched.Alex couldn't hold her laugh back.She knew why they had woken her up ."Won't you at least let me shower before giving y'all the juicy gist?"She asked , smiling at them.Tanya looked at Rayla , she could tell they were having a silent conversation about it.And when they finally agreed , Tanya spoke up"Okay , I guess we can manage that "They all laughed as Alex stood up from her bed. Throwing her
Ugly and the prince Cheers to the future
Lucas POV**It wasn't easy pulling away from her, from all of what might have happened.I could have just continued, Alex would have surely let me. I knew!But something in me told me there was more to dates than making out and having - most times - casual sex.You could get to know each other better, become great friends,share thoughts , heartfelt opinions , eat together, so many things.Where had this voice of reasoning been all my life?As she took my hand to rise from the bed, her eyes never left mine .She must be wondering , thinking .She would never understand how special she was to me.Even I didn't understand."Dinner is served"I said , leading her to a table for two prepared in another room of Ariana.This one was dimly lit, a mixture of red and deep blue lights.I could see neon posters all over the room, with

Alex POV **It was just five minutes to eight .I stood in the red dress Tanya and Rayla had practically forced on me.I had to say,I did look pretty.My dark hair was made to fall in front of only my left shoulder,adorned with an equally red hair clip.Rayla did a good job with my make-up.It wasn't so loud,but I was pretty enough to blush at my very own image.I couldn't wait for Lucas to see me like this.I looked down at my red heels.Although I had insisted on flats due to my height,Tanya heard none of it .She had said I couldn't ruin the perfect outfit with flat shoes.What did I know?I agreed."Nervous much?"I heard Tanya say as she sat on a stool close to me.I couldn't deny it.I was a nervous wreck.I sighed,bring
