A rectangular window appeared before Glottis' eyes, its translucent color dimming Leo's figure behind it.
"Glottis? What the hell is wrong with you?" Leo's surprised voice snapped him back to reality. After a quick blink, the window disappeared as though it was never there.
"Um, nothing, nothing. Sure, I can come to lunch with you, I will hit on your business partner's secretary or something."
"That's not what I invited you for… Whatever, just be there, I will send you the location," Leo sighed as he caved in and stopped arguing. Bringing Glottis to a serious meeting could already be considered progress.
"Who the hell am I?" Glottis asked out loud, making his big brother gaze at him worriedly.
"Glottis, did you smoke something?" Leo tried to find redness in his brother's sclera, but it seemed normal.
However, Glottis did not bother listening anymore. His eyes were fixed on the window twenty centimeters from his face. It was similar to the one that popped up for Leo, but longer and more detailed.

"Glottis? Why the hell are your eyes unfocused? I'm telling you, if you're high, you can't go to school like that. Ditching school one day is far better than letting someone find out you're stoned."
The silence continued for a minute during which Glottis ignored his brother and read the status window.
"See you later, Leo, I need to go to school." Glottis placed the fork on the plate for Annie to take care of and placed his palms on the wooden table to get up.
"Wait, wait, let me turn around first," said Leo as he reached forward with his hands, his palms open in an attempt to hide the sight he did not want to see twice in the same morning.
"Don't be a wuss, Leo, I have boxers on."
Glottis left the room and went to get dressed, knowing fresh clothes would wait for him in his room. Pretending no naked girl was lying in his bed, he quickly put on a designer outfit consisting of elegant pants and a long-sleeved buttoned shirt he meticulously wore sloppily. For the final touch, he put on a pair of expensive blackish leather shoes.
'What is 'Number Two's System' and why can't I have Number One's?' Glottis pondered on his way to the car. It was a blue Lumina brand, one of their latest models, the Z-Ray 3500. He was not a fan of cars and had no idea what the special features the vehicle boasted, he only knew it was a dependable chick magnet, which was everything he looked for in a car.
"Oh well, whatever."
With that thought in mind, he drove to the school, pulling the pedestrian's jealous eyes. The envy was almost tangible, and he loved sunbathing underneath it.
*SCREEEECH*
As Glottis caught sight of a beauty strolling along the sidewalks, he slammed on the brakes, causing the Lumina's wheels to emit a piercing screech. At least he concluded she was a beauty by the way her booty wiggled with every step and by her silky black hair that was long enough to kiss the said booty.
"Hey, where are you going to?" He opened the window and shouted.
The girl turned her head in surprise, astonished by the luxurious ride. Her eyes eventually found the driver, a tanned young man she knew all too well. He was handsome and rich, having one of the best backgrounds in her high school. He was both famous and infamous in her school for his antics, depending on who you asked.
"Young Master Glottis, I'm going to Lotus High," she answered politely but kept walking with the car creeping slowly by her side.
"Then you already know me! Since so, it means you know my reputation is greater than saints, hop on and I will give you a ride. I'm also heading there."
The girl squinted her eyes when she heard his baseless claim about reputation and remained firm in her refusal.
"No, thank you. I appreciate your offer, Young Master, but people might misunderstand if they see me come with you in the morning. Please don't delay for me."
"Come on, why do you sound like I want to assault you? It doesn't make sense to let you be late when we are going to the same place."
"I'm already late, what difference does it make if I'm late by two hours or two hours and a half?" she shook her head and declined his offer.
"You will lose the second class. If you don't accept my kindness, I will start thinking you despise me."
"Hey, you! Don't try to hit on my girlfriend in the middle of the street or I'll have a bone to pick with you."
Glottis' silvery eyes traced the source of that voice in curiosity when he found a young blonde man, approximately his age, running to the girl's side.
"And who the hell are you?" Glottis asked impatiently.
The boy was wearing simple pants and a cheap T-shirt. While he was handsome, he had a stain of mud on his right cheek and the girl walking on the sidewalk seemed out of his league. Glottis didn't buy it that she was his girlfriend. If he had to guess, he'd say the boy only tried to curry favor with the girl with that bold move. Oh well, Glottis disliked being used as a stepping stone.
"I'm Mike, I'm dating this girl."
Again, Glottis was busy looking at the pop-up window.
