Cole knows that today is the day the heroine and ML will meet. Like any drama, the heroine runs into ML. Spilling coffee all over the ML, pft what a cliche. Cole needs to figure out how to intervene.

[Host the scene is about to play out in 1 minutes in the left hallway from where you at.]

Cole goes to the place and sees the heroine about to run into ML. Without thinking of a plan, Cole pulls the ML out of her way. She ends up falling onto the ground face first.

"Are you alright Marcus? Did you get any scalding hot coffee on you?" Cole asks Marcus coldly with a small hint of concern. Marcus looks at Cole in shock. He never thought his old friend would help him. In all honesty, he was only friends with him for power. He also thought that Cole was only friends with him for power. Marcus now understood he thought wrong.

"I'm fine Cole thanks for the help. No coffee landed on me thankfully. I hate the smell and taste of coffee," Marcus thanks sincerely. He smiles at Cole softly.

"I know every time we gather you ask for tea instead. I and William drink coffee but we both know not to go near you," Cole responds coldly. Marcus never noticed but Cole actually took in his likes and dislikes. He felt guilty that he thought Cole was only friends for power. He didn't even notice Hope crying on the ground.

[Good job host he is already ignoring the heroine!]

"Marcus I have to ask you a favor just a small one," Cole asks Marcus. He immediately nods in response.

"Well, you see my sister just came back from overseas. And she is hunting me down to go shopping. I was wondering if you can tell her that I and you had plans for today?" Cole begs a bit which Marcus found really cute. He honestly thought it is business related. Apparently, it is not but a personal issue.

"Brother! You cannot run away from me!" Screams Alisa, Cole younger sister who is running towards them. Ignoring the girl on the floor who us seething with anger. Cole visually shrunk and sent Marcus a pleading look.

"Sorry but Cole already has plans with me" Marcus covers for Cole with a gentle smile. Alisa frowns but nods in acceptance.

"Fine who is the girl on the floor?" Alisa asks in indifference.

"A girl who almost tripped on Marcus. Luckily I was able to pull Marcus out of the way. Let us go to class now!" Cole explains as he walks towards class. But before he was too far away he turned his head "See ya later Marcus"

"See ya after school Cole" Marcus responds with a wide grin. He walks way forgetting the girl. Alisa tried to help Hope off the ground only to have her hand slapped.

"Rude I was only trying to help. This is the reason big brother didn't help you!" Alisa states angrily making people aware of the whole situation. Making Hope a hoe who is ungrateful.

Cole smirks who knew his quick thinking helped. Hope is a scheming bitch who hates those who are much powerful then her.

After class Cole went outside and waited for Marcus.

[Heroine has approached Marcus at the entrance of the school.]

Cole smirks and takes out his phone. He dials Marcus as he knows that Marcus will answer. Right away he picks up.

"Marcus, where are you? My sister is coming out soon. If she sees me without you. She is going to force me to go. I really dislike shopping it always ends up with me carrying more than dozens of bags" Cole asks nervously. Intentionally making his voice sound weak to urge Marcus to come quick.

"I'm coming someone just held me up, I'll be out in less than a minute" Marcus hurriedly announces. He then hung up and he is coming towards Cole. Leaving Hope fuming on the background.

"Marcus wait up!" Screams a voice from the back William the second male lead.

"William let us go" answers Marcus as he takes a hold of William. It became humorous when William's face is filled with shock. Cole found this situation hilarious that he couldn't hold back his laughter. Once Cole laughs everyone turns in his direction, Marcus and William freeze a bit hearing his laugh. They found it genuine and pleasing to hear.

"Cole what is so funny?" Asks William curiously as he approaches. Cole calms down and gives a small smile.

"Your face of shock! It would seem that your eyes will pop out" Cole explains softly. Giving William a grin that is only getting bigger.

"I'm glad that you find my expressions funny" William sarcastically says. Cole chuckles and takes out a caramel chocolate bar from his car.

"Here as a form of apology" Cole apologizes as he hands the candy. Willaim quickly grabs it and smiles.

"Forgiven!" William replies as he opens his favorite candy.

"Why do you have candy in your car?" Asks Marcus curiously as he looks at Cole's car.

"I have a sweet tooth. I have more types of candy in my car. I just gave William the caramel chocolate as I know it's his favorite candy" Cole explains. William's head shot up in shock, he never thought Cole would keep track of his likes and dislikes. Marcus, face scrunched up a bit he never knew Cole liked sweets.

"Are you two okay?" Cole waves his hand in front of the two. William is the first to snap out of it and faces Cole.

"Yeah, so what's going on?" Asks William while giving the two a questioning look.

"Well, you see I'm trying to escape my sister. She wants me to go with her to shopping, that is the only thing I can't bring myself to do. She forces me to be her bag carrier and the women in the shops never leave me alone. Their perfumes are too strong that I feel like I'm choking when I'm around them. They also grab me and flirt endlessly, some are even double my age!" Cole complains shivering a bit about the whole situation. Cole purposely gave a pitiful look to gain the two males affection. One thing Cole always understood the white lotus act works. Every heroine in books is always acting as a white lotus. Cole smirks inwardly he will beat the heroine with the same act. He, however, will do it more marvelous than the heroine.

"Don't worry Cole I'll protect you from your evil sister!" William exclaims childishly and gets into a protective jokingly manner.

"Hm, so where would we all go?" Asks Cole curiously while facing Marcus with an innocent curiosity.

"We should go to my home to play video games, or watch movies?" Suggests Marcus
