"What?! You meant a fixed marriage?" He asked in disbelief.

"Yes. And I already one in mind."

"But I don't want to! Besides, I'm too young for that." Seth declined.

Stephanie chuckled, "Don't worry, I said it's for your future."

"Besides if I'm going to get married in the future, I should be the one to choose."

Stephanie furrowed her brows at him, "But you're my son. And as your mother, I should be the one to choose for you. It's best for business...I meant for you." She explained.

"So it's about your business again. I knew it. And here I thought you're concerned at my well being for the first time..."

"Stop being dramatic, Seth. I'm starting to care about your future now."

"Well I don't need it. And I'm not going to agree with your fixed freakin' marriage. I'm off to my room now." Seth was about to go when Stephanie pulled his hair.

"HOW DARE YOU TO NOT ACCEPT GET OUT OF MY BUILDING NOW!" She shouted.

"M-mom!" Finn ran over to this Mom and interjected, "We're not living in a building."

"GET OUT OF MY MANSION NOW!" Stephanie yelled once again at Seth.

Seth immediately ran from the mansion without bags, money, everything, and nowhere to go.

| AT FLAIR'S MANSION, |

"Hey, my favorite daughter." Ric suddenly initiated a conversation.

"What is it, Dad?" Charlotte asked as she sliced her steak.

"Is someone pursuing you at school?"

Charlotte chuckled, "A lot. But I don't have a boyfriend yet because they are commoners and they are not suited for a Queen like me."

Ric nodded multiple times as he heard the news.

"That's a good thing!" He exclaimed. "You know my daughter, I have a proposal for you."

Charlotte looked at her Dad, "Proposal?"

"I have known this family for a year now and they suggested an interesting proposal." Ric started. "Since you don't have any boyfriend, it'll benefit you for this."

Charlotte seemed confused, "Are you going to say what I think it is?"

"Great mind thinks alike, my daughter." Ric laughed softly.

"Who's the very lucky one then?"

"Oh! You knew him. I think he's your classmate." Ric smiled.

"What's his name?" She asked as she drinks her mango juice.

"It's-------------"

| AT THE MALL, |

Mike went to the mall to buy some makeup kits for Maryse on their upcoming monthsary. Mike spotted an old lady as she was busy choosing makeup products.

Mike chuckled and yelled, "Don't waste your money, any makeup can't change your face. You'll still be ugly, old lady."

Lita heard a young man mocking her. She rolled her eyes and decided to focus her attention on the makeup kits.

On the other store, Dolph was buying Gummy bears in the mall because it's not available in the convenience store.

He spotted a middle-aged woman holding an armful of plastic bags. As a good person, he wanted to help her.

"Can I help you, Ma'am?" Dolph asked the woman.

Torrie was about to refuse when Dolph grabbed the plastic bags from her hands until only two left.

"Where do you live, Ma'am? I can take you from there." Dolph presented.

Torrie was about to refuse again but as he looked at Dolph who looks a good person, she told him the street.

"Oh, I know that street," Dolph said while carrying the handful bags.

| BACK ON SETH'S JOURNEY, |

Someone saw Seth sitting in the center of the road so he stepped outside his car.

"Hey Kid, where do you live?" The man asked.

Seth didn't say anything.

"Where are you going?" The long-haired man concernedly asked.

"I have nowhere to go," Seth mumbled while watching the rain.

"Then come with me." He suggested so Seth hopped inside his car.

While driving, the middle-aged man couldn't help but told stories about many things.

"You know kid, I have two children and I have a son the same age as you. He's studying at SummerSlam State University."

"I studied there too," Seth commented.

"You probably saw them."

"The University is too vast. But I think it's possible."

The man smiled, "Good timing! My children are at my house tonight."

"You have two sons, mister?" Seth asked while on the road.

"No. I have one son and one daughter. My very precious daughter." He smiled.

"I think your daughter's acts the same as you, Mister."

"Yeah, she inherited my good attitude." He proudly said. "Anyway, we're almost here, kid."

"I feel that you'll get along with my son."

"I hope so." Seth smiled.

"Don't worry, they are good people, with a good heart."

Seth smiled and looked on the window, "The road was too familiar."

The forty-year-old man took a glimpsed at Seth as he heard him talking to himself.

"You already came here before?" He asked Seth.

Seth looked at him and nodded his head.

"As far as I remember, my classmate lives in this subdivision."

"Cool!" He shrieked as he turned off the engine of his car. "Anyway, we're here."

Seth swallowed the glowing lump on his throat, "Here?"
