Later, Kyle asked Kingsley, "How's the bet going? Is Summer falling for you yet?"

Kingsley chuckled. "Not yet."

KYLE pressed, "How's the girl?"

Kingsley reassured, "She's good."

kyle was like "is that all you could say ?"

Kingsley shrugged. "No time for that." He headed to his room to rest.

Jed, now recovered, had cut ties with Nelly, ignoring her calls.

In the lecture hall, Kelvin's entrance sparked whispers.

"Kelvin doesn't look well," someone observed.

"Not my business," another shrugged.

A girl squealed, "My crush is here!"

Someone marveled, "Wow, he dyed his hair blue!"

Nelly, however, sat sick and ashamed, her attempts to reach Jed unsuccessful.

"I'm so ashamed of myself," Nelly whispered.

Her roommate, Summer, overheard. "You should be."

Summer wasn't sympathetic. "How could you stoop so low for Kelvin?"

Nelly's tears flowed freely.

Summer left Nelly to cry, exiting the class.

Kingsley noticed Nelly's departure and followed.

"Hey," Kingsley said softly.

Nelly snapped, "What do you want, young man?"

Kingsley smiled. "Don't you smile?"

summer's gaze swept from his head to his toes, leaving Kingsley transfixed.

she hissed at him before turning to leave.

"Gosh,this is really hard" he said and followed her immediately
