Forced duo

" Morning class" I felt a tap on my shoulder and woke to a start. Axel passed me a worried look while Montez seemed unbothered . His face was cold as usual and on his system. It made me wonder if the Montez I saw yesterday was a fragment of my imagination. He didn't even spare me a glance.

According to Mr Brayan announcement, the hint annual company contest will be decided this afternoon. Everyone was anxious but we were suprisingly calm and less bothered. The first phase was working in duo to see how what we can present before the second phase. When I thought my life couldn't get more annoying, I got paired with Kiel Tan. We both disagreed immediately. We were rival and more of enemies than friends. No one was willing to back down. He didn't want to work with me and I didn't want to work with him.

Kiel and I went to meet Mr Brayan who solemnly refused to change the pair. Dejected,we walked away. On our way out, Kiel held my hand to stop me " You know, perhaps we can make this work" . I eyed him in anger and yanked my hand off before walking away. Upon getting to the class, the duo's already started their presentation and I moved to my seat in annoyance. Mason was lucky to be paired with his buddy , Kim and Axel with Montez. I placed my head on the table and just then , Kiel walked up to me tapping me on my back. Seeing his face,I groaned and put my head back but he wasn't having it. He literally dragged me out of the class room ........ Guess no one going the easy way.

" What's wrong with you huh" I yanked my hand off angrily. Kiel seemed impatient " listen Tricia,I don't know what you are thinking and I know we don't see eye to eye but we have to make this work okay. The brutal contest will begin very soon and then we'll have to split but with enough points we can both stand .

I know he has a point but I kept quiet,I wasn't gonna accept that easily. He continued " I'm your greatest competitor and you are mine so let's cause a storm together". He stretched his hand forth and after contemplating for a while, I took his hand and our alliance began . Who would have thought ENVY,GREED, DESPERATION would cause that alliance to be my greatest mistake. One that ruined everything.

We walked back to the class with a smile plastered on our faces but believe me, it was for different reasons. Everyone was surprised especially Montez. Kiel and I drew out our plans and apparently we are to be managing a fashion company going down in the industry. Our task as duo was was to bring it to the limelight. Kiel and I got talking and it seemed quite fun. He has this striking resemblance to Nathaniel which made me miss Nat even more.

Later in the day, we each left for the location of our companies ready to dominate and cause a storm, at least that's what I thought. After the duo,we would split and betrayal was going to set in , some might choose to stay as duo and others not . Groups will be shaken. The one whose company survives will take the credit and the company as well. I braced my self as the signal was given.

Our company FIERCE was falling behind as the likes of Gucci,Zara,D and G and the likes were taking over. We needed a rebrand and only a month was given to release our master piece. No design must clash with the other or you get disqualified. Rules are rules..
