Josef badged into Lady Ganja's office furiously, and stamped the paper on her table, but she wasn't moved, because she knew exactly why he came, but still…
"Should I also teach you some respect?" Lady Ganja growled.
Josef chuckled. "Should I teach you that respect is reciprocal?" He retorted.
"How dare you?"
Josef let the waves of crisis pass by, calming down and grabbing a seat. "I'm sorry" he said with a sigh, flushing his hand down his face.
"Why are you angry just because of—"
"No…" he cut in, in a loud tone. "Not because of that. I'm only offended by the fact that you think you can always push me around to do things I don't want to do, you don't manipulate Josef Bond, or anything like sort… I'm grown"
Lady Ganja chuckled. "Are you?*
Josef furrowed his eyebrows "huh?"
"Josef …" she walked away from her chair and leaned against the table, beside and close to Josef . "I'm not pushing you around. I'm pushing you out of your comfort zone"
"Pushing me out of my comfort zone? By pairing me with the one girl that detest me the most?" Said Josef with a chuckle.
"Does she really?"
"Definitely" Josef replied abruptly.
"Why? Because you have been bad to her? Right?"
Josef rolled his eyes. "Stop laying false accusations, Aunt".
Lady Ganja laughed and drooled back to her seat. "False accusations you say? Well, you're Josef Bond after all. You can do what suites you, but I would advise you let yourself have this fun" she concluded.
Josef stood up and made well his shirt. "There is nothing fun about her" he concluded, taking his leave at once.

"What are you saying? Are you even aware of what you just got? Every girl's dream!"
"I'm not every girl, and it's not mine." Valentine protested, feeling uneasy. They had gone out of the student's center while everyone else checked theirs waiting for the rules of the game.
Lina hadn't opened her own yet, and Valentine didn't get why. There was something with the 4DD's, not all of them looked happy.
They went back to the dining, Valentine stared at Lina's paper. "Open yours, now" she said in a cool but seemingly threatening voice.
"Is mine. Is it by force?" Lina jokingly scoffed.
Valentine got up from her seat and leaned toward her, dragging the paper from her hand's grasp immediately. "Open it, open it!" She muttered through clenched teeth.
"Huh?" Lina is surprised to see Valentine dragging her paper away. "Eish, that's mine! Leave it"
"No, I won't!" Lina resisted.
"Yes, you will!" They both applied pressure to each other and pulled their hands so that their body shook and in that pose, Valentine mistakenly tipped her leg behind Lina's halfly enclosed legs, she trudged backward slightly and in a slow motion
Valentine gasped as Lina's hands slipped away from hers and she fell down on her back with a painful moan, and Valentine couldn't get herself to hold her tight. The paper fell apart.
"Uhhh see what you have done, Valentine" Lina groaned.
"I-i'm so sorry, Lina, sorry…" she stammered. "Are you hurt?"
"Oh god, no I'm sweet!" She yelled in agony, grabbing her left knee. Valentine stooped down to help her up, and the sight of the paper flashed at her rear.
She looked at Lina, who looked at her too and they both threw a look at the paper, they brought their faces together again, with the widening of her eyes to the realisation that Valentine would see her date first before her, she shook her head persistently.
Valentine smiled, rushed to get it, Lina held her and they twisted on the floor, and on getting their hands together toward it, they froze as a shiny shoe came in sight. Simultaneously, they geared their heads up to get Jemima's gorgeous face flash on their eyes, but his face loomed with a puzzling expression.
Valentine gulped, looked down at Lina; she had just realised the state they were in. She was lying on top of Lina's body in a typical love making pose, their lips were in close proximity, and their boobs lushed on each other's.
"Um, why did you let me fall on you?"
"Huh?" Lina exclaimed, and Valentine got off her and helped her stand, grinning sheepishly at Jemima who failed to understand what was going on. Were they really something?
"Looks like you two are busy?" He said with a smile.
"Oh no" they chorused at the same time, leaving each other's side. Jemima had his hands fixed in his pockets.
"Lina, right?"
"Yes, yes" Lina replied nervously. That would be the first time ever Jemima was actually talking to her, but what was really up?
Jemima smiled and turned to Valentine. "Hi, Val. Who are you pairing with?"
Valentine sighed, and dropped down her shoulders as if it had been placed with a heavy burden. "I thought you should know though?"
"Well, I think I do, sadly" he replied.
Valentine and Lina looked at each other, while trying to fathom why it was sad for him, perhaps if he was given the chance to choose knowingly, he would choose Valentine.
"Sadly?"
"Hmm. Don't worry…" he smiled, and looked back at Lina. "So, Lina, I would be dating you for seven days"
Lina's heart throbbed, she gulped. It couldn't be possible. Even a look at Valentine's face showed the same. "Y-ou you don't know? haven't checked your paper?" He asked.
Lina shook her head nervously and looked down at the paper. She brought up her face with sketches of uncertainty. "There must have been a mistake or something. I mean, I'm not the only one with the name Lina here"
"I picked, Lina Medina" He said and stood confidently. Lina had to confirm that herself, and a moment of silent was killed for Lina to pick and unfold her red paper.
Her eyes widened and her lips fell apart without a word, and she looked at Valentine.
"Omg…" she exclaimed with a smile.
Jemima chuckled. "Mm that's right. Well, I will see you later, till the rules comes out, we will know how it would all go"
Valentine was dumbfounded as a feeling of jealousy started creeping up and gripping on her body, she tried to resist and reject the feeling but it wouldn't go away, which left her to wonder why she would feel that way, envying Lina for having to date Jemima? It only took the touch and voice of Lina to pull her out of the well.
"I can't believe this Val! I get to date Jemima Bond!?" She jumped up and down in excitement.
Valentine picked herself, smiling tightly. She glanced around and didn't see Jemima again. Confused, she asked Lina where he had gone.
"He just left… oh you're just as excited as me…" she giggled. "You didn't even notice he was gone"
Valentine chuckled, followed with a slow and silent sigh.

The 4DD's were still in the students center with a few girls left there, including Patty and Claire, the big fat girl, whose eyes wouldn't leave Achilles, and he was tending to run away or hide from her, the tense circling around them wouldn't leave them alone.
Patty wasn't happy, but Nicholas didn't seem to really care about it. She walked up to where they sat, and with an angry face, called out Nicholas.
"Nicholas…"
"Yeah?" They all turned their gaze to and at her, looking forward to the drama to unfold.
"We need to talk," she ordered.
They suppressed their laughter, nodding their heads persistently to him. He gulped.
"Why?" He asked confidently, trying to act like a boss. But that was unnecessary. He wasn't expecting what was coming…
"Damn it Nick! You're coming with me!" She growled and dragged him out of his seat, and out of the students center to the hallway that led out of the building, followed by laughter from Achilles, Hector and the computer guru. Dying out once they were fully received by the hallway. Achilles was next, but, Hello silence!
"What was that for?" Nicholas groaned.
"You tell me" Patty frowned.
"What's even wrong with you?"
"Who did you pick?"
"Oh! …" He exclaimed, like he had no idea that was why she was acting up. "Well, definitely not you" he said.
"Stop beating around the bush, we wouldn't be here having this conversation if I know it was me, and this is what I asked…"
She put on a mean face and leaned closer to him, enclosing the gap between them, and hewondered what she would do, but he had confidence. No worries she can't do anything, he thought. Patty's face fumed, and her heart beat could be heard, but only by her.
"Who is she?"
Nicholas sighed. "What are you going to do?" Patty didn't answer him, but gave him a distorting, and witchy look. "Oh, well, she is some pretty girl" he said with a smile.
"Drop her" Patty said.
"What?"
"Drop her, please?"
"Patty, there are rules to this game—"
"You call this a game? You?" She raised her voice at him. He had been soft with her all the while, only if she knew why, but he was a devil dove after all, and even though she was his girlfriend, there are lines that shouldn't be crossed.
"Shut it Patty! Don't shout at me again…" he scolded her, she couldn't believe it, how could her boyfriend just change in an instant?
Well, there are first times to everything. She turned her eyes into a rainy cloud, with particles of puppy drops. He rubbed down his hand on his face with a sigh. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…"
"But there are no rules—"
"But there would be" he added. "Our details has been recorded by the systems already, and you know that. Look I know your fears, but trust me, nothing would happen, it's just one week. No one can take you away from me in the space of one week, I promise …" he held her hands and cupped them tightly in a loving and caring stance. But that wasn't enough for her.
"But you are a Devil Dove, you can change the game, you can rewrite it or something" she pleaded nervously.
He backed off from her. "Why don't you go and enjoy your time with youe new date? We are still together. Like I said, is just a game" he shrugged and started taking steps away from her while she stood there dumbfounded.
Her ears stirred to the sound of footsteps looming in behind her, and a voice emerged from the direction.
"Looks like you are not getting the fun this time around, mmm? Thought you are a supergirl? Why don't you go chase after him?"
Lina teased her with a mischievous smile paired with a chuckle, but Patty still glued on to her position while her eyes were still fixed on the lane Nicholas had walked out through, the slimes of light lumination that patched on the walls gleamed across her bright blue eyes.
She sighed and turned back to stare at Lina with her hands akimbo.
"Guess who I'm going to date?" Lina asked, polling her head as if she was dancing to a tune. Patty rolled her eyes on her, waiting for her to spill her nonsense.
Lina let out a fulfilling and proud smile, hugging her body in a blushing manner, and Patty's face loomed on her. "Can't believe I would be dating Jemima for a complete week! Someone tell me this is a dream…"
"Yes, it's a dream" said Patty scornfully.
"Wha- what…" Lina stammered. "I know you are bitter now, and is whatever" she snarled, clicking her tongue.
Patty chuckled. "Go ahead then, your girlfriend has given you wings now, you can talk to me now huh? Well, that's if Jemima would even look at you"
"I said it, you're just bitter, I—"
"Good luck then, just don't come crying to me" Patty said shoving her off and walking out on her.
Lina chuckled. "Bitch, come crying to you? When I have Valentine…" she locked into her brain for a moment.
Patty might be right after all, since she knew them better than her. "Where is Jemima?" She gasped, Jemima had already gone out.
Patty's words resounded in her ears, striking fear cords into her heart. "Oh no, that's not possible, he can't do that to me" she hurried off, in search of Jemima.
