A young man woke up that morning. He took a glance at his phone's screen, learning that he was as late as always in the process.
'Last night was fun,' he thought to himself as he pushed a naked girl from his chest, ignoring the 'thud' accompanied by a surprised scream that sounded when the girl hit the floor. He only looked at her once before moving on to pick his clothes, one burst of energy for the rest of the day.
"Ah, Young Master, what happened?" The woman asked in a tired voice as she climbed back to the bed, her eyes half opened. She felt perfectly comfortable with herself, not even bothering to pull the sheets as a cover.
"Nothing, I just need to go to school, it's the first day of my last year."
Glottis had no idea what her name was. In fact, he was not sure she even told him what it was before she crawled onto his lap.
"Oh. Have a good day. Can I stay to sleep for a while?"
"Yes, Annie will show you the way out when you decide to get up."
They were celebrating his birthday in one of his favorite clubs last night. His birthday was bittersweet – on one hand, he had a birthday that included partying and gifts, but on the other hand, school started the next day every year.
"Eh, I stink," Glottis distorted his nose slightly when he was about to wear a t-shirt. The academic new-year ceremony should've started over an hour ago, meaning the students should be on their way to class for the first lesson. "I'm already late," he shrugged.
*knock knock*
"Young Master, are you up?" A feminine voice came from beyond the door.
"Yes, Annie. Please prepare the bath for me."
"I did."
"Make breakfast for me."
"I did."
"Iron some clothes for me."
"I did."
"... okay."
He opened the door, knowing that Annie couldn't prepare the bath attached to his room, meaning she filled the one further down the hall. He did not mind using it, everything in his house was clean and luxurious. Otherwise, the maids would be fired long ago.
Annie moved to the side, letting him walk past her into the corridor. She did not even blink at the sight of his package dangling with every step he took, she was already used to the fact her young master was a degenerate. She only sighed and looked at her watch; she had to go to her own school, but she couldn't take off before Glottis did.
"That's disgusting, Glottis. Cover this thing when you are walking in shared spaces."
"I barely woke up 5 minutes ago and you are already the third person to talk to me, hiya... If you don't like what you see, keep your eyes up. My eyes are right here, you know."
Glottis opened the bathroom and entered, allowing his brother one last glimpse of his buttocks.
"Animal."
He heard one last remark before he closed the door behind him and dipped in the water.
After twenty minutes of pleasure in the hot water, he used a clean towel to dry himself and left the bathroom.
"Young Master, here is your underwear, please wear it before you go to the dining room."
"Right."
Annie was waiting for him outside, handing him dry and warm underwear. She knew her employer too well.
"Would you like to wear your clothes before you eat?"
"No, it's better to eat naked. What if I spill food on it? You don't have time to iron another outfit."
"Young Master, you have more than one ironed outfit."
"Ah, still, it'd be a waste of time."
Glottis, now at least with his private member covered, walked to the dining room where he found fresh bread and a plate of frittata Annie had baked before he even opened his eyes. He ate the delicious dish quickly without savoring the taste.
"Don't tell me you wear nothing under the table."
Glottis raised his eyes to see his big brother sitting in front of him.
"What if I am? Girls put this part in their mouth and let me rub it all over their faces, you know? There's nothing to be disgusted at," Glottis fired his reply. His head still throbbed from all the alcohol he drank last night, and he had no desire to enter a banter with Leo.
"Ew. Want me to rub mine in your face then?"
"Go ahead, I will bite it off."
"Whatever, go to school," Leo sighed and surrendered. He couldn't enjoy the banter when he found the whole thing repulsive. He often found his brother too shameless and vulgar.

"Shouldn't you be at work? Why are you here?"
"I have a little matter to attend on my own. How about that, I have a business meeting today at 4 PM including a late lunch. Wanna join?"
Outside their silly fights, they were on good terms, and Leo often tried to involve his irresponsible brother in the family business to help him get some responsibilities.
"No, thanks. I have a date," Glottis lied. It was not entirely wrong though, he knew he'd be able to pick up a girl on his way. All he needed was to stop his car and slide the window down. One whistle or a honk, and there would be at least one gold digger who would jump in.
"You mean one of these sluts that take advantage of you for free drinks, hotels, and food? You need to become more mature, Glottis. You will eventually have to join Dad and me in representing our company."
Glottis just stuffed his mouth with food and looked at his big brother with a frown.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" he muttered, tired of his brother's nagging about growing up. He had plenty of fun as he was.
"I am your big brother, that's why you should listen to me."
However, Glottis already stopped listening. His eyes widened in surprise, and he only noticed he dropped a piece of chewed egg from his mouth after it happened. The source of his astonishment was an ethereal screen that opened in front of him.

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.
