**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 that his first course tests scores had been released and he had been invited to the administration block to get it.Lucas felt his heart leap from his chest.
Whatever his results said would get to his father.There was a possiblity his father would be invited to the school today as well.He had to go see it , and fast !If it was bad , he'll know how to face and manage his father's disappointed glare and silence , something he still hadn't gotten used to in his twenty-four years of being Senator Luke Cage's son.Lucas reduced his exercise hours from two hours and thirty minutes to an hour. He had to be amongst the first student to show up at the admin block , less eyes will be on him that way.
He took a quick shower , threw on a pair of black jeans and a plain grey t-shirt. Combing his hair or making a quick breakfast hadn't even crossed his mind before he put on his grey Nike sneakers and stormed out of the room.
The journey from his apartment to the College gate was a short one so he decided to jog instead of driving.
It was safer to run , considering his current state of mind.He finally paused to catch his breath when he got to the front of the Administration Block.
He smiled at a security man who returned his smile ,before he walked past the double glass doors into the building.It was as busy as it was everyday of the week , except Sundays.
He continued to pant as he staggered to the halls where the results were normally pasted on notice boards , before students were advised to visit the Dean of Student Affairs for a hard copy of it , though that was optional.He searched on all the boards for his department name and when he finally found it , he stood in front of it searching for his Registration number and name.
"CJB0009 , Gray Lucas Cage"
He said aloud as his eyes met the row his name was boldly printed on .He took in a deep breath as his eyes scanned the row for any F , E's or D's.Lucas took two steps backwards in disbelief.
He hadn't found any , apart from one C that sat in the middle of the row."Could this mean....?"He stopped as he felt a hand tap his back.He spun around to meet a sturdy old woman in plain grey suits.
"Mr Lucas Cage?"He took a quick glance at her before nodding .She smiled , " please proceed to the president's office , you've been asked to see him "Lucas blinked twice and the lady laughed."Oh don't be so scared , he was in quite high spirits , I'm sure it's good news"She said , tapping his shoulder before she walked away.He took a short glance at the notice board again before walking away .
As he walked into the crowded corridors , he couldn't help but smile at remembrance of his result.
He couldn't believe it , it was amazing.He smiled at the President's Secetary as he entered into the last room that led to his office.
"Good morning , I'm Lucas Cage , the president asked to see me"Her eyes left the desktop in front of her to his."Why yes, please go in "He nodded , before walking past her desk."Uhmm, should I knock?"She looked back at him and smiled."Oh don't bother , he knows you're here now"He nodded as he walked to the door .
He stepped into the huge hexagonal room."Good morning Sir"He greeted.President Grayham looked up at him.He smiled as he invited Lucas to sit ."Your results reached me first thing this morning.."
He started , examining the look on the young man's face as he spoke."I presume you must have seen it"Lucas sighed , "yes sir"The old man fell back on his chair , legs crossed and fingers intertwined.
"How did you feel?"He asked , smiling at him.Lucas fought to hide his smile as he spoke."I was really pleased sir ""You should , this test results alone should be able to savage the disaster you created in your first three years here Mr Cage"
Lucas couldn't fight the smile anymore. It appeared on his lips , he was so happy.
"I called you here to say congratulations "
"Thank you Sir"
Lucas replied , bowing his head.The man nodded.
"I also forwarded your scores to your father"Lucas's eyes widened. That meant his other had also seen it.
"And he was pleased , he's happy with you this time. Keep this attitude up , and you'll be leaving our school with a second class"Lucas smiled as he got up.
"Thank you very much sir"President Grayham only smiled and nodded in return.
As he stepped out of the office , he did hair short happy dance , throwing his arms in the air as he fought to hold his scream until he got outside the building.
When he finally screamed , he felt so happy.
Happier than he had ever been after seeing his test scores.Ugly..
Was the first name that echoed in his head.If it hadn't been for her , nothing would have worked.
Though she could be really annoying , she was an angel , his life and academic saver.They hadn't seen each other since their first date , they had only sent each other numerous texts and had spoken on the phone .But today ? Today he would give her something she'll never forget.
She had drawn him the moment he had set his eyes on her. And she still did.
He smiled as he picked his phone from his pocket and dialed her number.
**
"Your phone's ringing"She heard Tanya call from the kitchen .She stood up from the arm chair in the room as she ran into the kitchen.She smiled as Tanya placed her phone in her hands , a knowing grin plastered on her face.
"It's LuLu"She said , laughing .Alex feigned a scowl , Tanya only laughed harder."Sorry , Mrs Lucas ""Shut up"They both laughed as she answered the call.Tanya opened her mouth to speak when Alex signaled for her to keep shut, placing her index finger on her lips.Tanya chuckled , her eyes returning to her cup of coffee."Lucas , good morning"
"There's a lot that's good about this morning my most beautiful Alexander"
She heard his deep voice say . He was in such high spirits she could almost see him smile.She managed a short laugh "what's up with you Lucas ? You seem really happy"
"Why don't I tell you why I'm happy when we get to the beach this evening?"
She blinked twice , taking the phone from her left ear to her right as she leaned on the kitchen cabinet.
"The beach ? What's happening there ?"
"Ugly , ugly , ugly , always the girl to ask a lot of questions. I want us to go to the beach together , I want to show you how grateful I am for having someone like you in my life . You really don't know what you've done for me..."
"You've seen your results..."
She cut in , biting her lower lip in a smile.There was a pause on the line.
"How did you know that?"She moved away from the cabinet , leaning on the tiled wall of the kitchen.
"I was sent it , as your tutor to track your progress"
She heard him laugh.
"Okay , Mrs teacher , I just wanted to say thank you. For everything."
Her smile broadened.
"Will six be okay?""Six will be perfect"
She heard him say , before she ended the call.Pressing the phone to her chest as she shut her eyes closed.
You're really head over heels in love Alexander Court .
She smiled."I know"

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.

Lucas POV**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 be

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

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
