Lost between worlds

After high school, Krimson and Alora didn't want to stay idle or depend on their parents. They kept hustling, focusing on their modelling gigs and maintaining their influential lifestyle until they could secure spots at their dream universities. Their bank accounts were stacked, but some outsiders labelled them as greedy. They didn't care; they had a vision and stuck to it.

When the time came to leave the country to apply for their dream universities, saying goodbye to their families was harder than they thought. They had never lived on their own before, and as celebrities, they were anxious about how people would treat them. To ensure their safety, bodyguards accompanied them on the private jet they had arranged.

Meanwhile, Max and Iris didn't need to travel since their dream university was close by.

The morning of departure was bittersweet.

"Mona, Mom, Dad… I'll miss you all so much," Krimson said as he slid into the car. "Tell Iris and Max I'll catch up with them later, okay?"

Mona, staring at the car, felt an ache in her chest. "Damn, this sucks already," she muttered under her breath.

The driver picked up Alora from her mansion next. She waved to her family with a bright smile. "Bye, Kiki, Mom, Dad… Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Once in the car, Krimson turned to Alora. "Yo, I can't believe we're really doing this, one step closer to the dream, huh?"

"Feels unreal," Alora replied, leaning back and staring at the car's roof.

When they reached the airport, they boarded their private jet. Before take-off, they had one of the bodyguards film a short video to say goodbye to their fans. Moments after posting it, the comments section blew up:

@Kelly: "These two are always grinding! I went to school with them, no cap."

@Mary: "If I were famous and rich, I'd skip university, fr 😭."

@sigma_boy: "Big sigma moves right here 🗿."

They laughed at the comments while on the flight.

"Hey," Alora teased, "what if we don't end up marrying, huh?"

Krimson smirked. "Nah, you're already my wifey, don't play with me."

Her cheeks flushed red. "Pfft, no way. I already got a hubby, and it's not you."

"Oh, for real?" Krimson opened his Instagram DMs dramatically. "Bet. Lemme holla at one of my crushes real quick."

Alora tried to act cool but couldn't help feeling a twinge of jealousy. She looked away, pretending not to care. Meanwhile, Krimson scrolled through his messages and froze when he saw one from Kiki.

"When the hell did she send this?" he thought, opening it. His eyes widened. Kiki had confessed her feelings and proposed to him.

"WTF," he muttered aloud.

"What's wrong?" Alora asked, curious.

"Oh, nothing," Krimson replied, quickly showing her a random meme to dodge her question. Alora chuckled and relaxed in her seat.

The rest of the flight was uneventful, and they dozed off until they landed an hour later. A car waited for them at the airport, ready to take them to their new mansion.

When they arrived, they were stunned.

"Damn," Krimson said, staring at the enormous mansion.

"This is insane!" Alora added, her jaw dropping.

The interior was even more impressive: an indoor pool, a private theater, a casino room, a bar, and a massive waterbed in their shared bedroom.

"Yo, this bed is so big, Diddy could host a whole party on it," Alora joked, laughing as she collapsed onto the mattress.

Krimson cracked up. "For real! And he'd still have space for the VIP section."

They filmed a house tour video, which Alora uploaded in episodes across their social media platforms. Fans went wild:

@Itsiris: call living lavish innit

@max_the_realest: hitting on that bed gonna be like hit the centre of the universe

@kenny_boy: That theater? Netflix and chill goals

@its_vicky: That bathroom is for 2 for sure, my and my man will create all our babies there.

@skibidi_toiletguy: 🗿

That night, despite the bed's massive size, they ended up cuddling close, unable to resist the warmth of each other.

The next morning, the maid, Isabel, knocked on their door. Krimson opened it, his irritation vanishing instantly when he saw her. She was gorgeous.

"Damn, she's hot as fuck," Krimson thought but quickly reminded himself not to cheat on Alora.

"Sir, it's 6:00 a.m.," Isabel said politely.

"So?" Krimson leaned against the door, his thoughts running wild. "Is this where she rides me at 6 every morning? Shit, life would be amazing."

"Sir," Isabel interrupted his fantasies, "your schedule starts now. Breakfast is ready."

"Right. Thanks," Krimson mumbled, trying to shake off his inappropriate thoughts.

After breakfast, they headed to the bathroom, only one bathroom for their room , so they had to share. Alora didn't hesitate.

"C'mon, don't be shy," she said, pulling Krimson in.

As they showered, Krimson stood frozen, unable to focus. Alora rolled her eyes. "Yo, we don't have all day!" she said, spraying him with the showerhead.

"Ouch, fuck, that's hot!" Krimson yelped, making Alora laugh uncontrollably.

Later, dressed in formal wear, they headed to the university for registration. It was a prestigious institution, just as they'd imagined. Students swarmed them, snapping pictures of their arrival.

"Damn, this feels like a movie," Alora whispered.

"For real," Krimson replied, linking arms with her.

After meeting the principal and finishing their registration, they returned home. Alora checked the comment section of their house tour video, laughing at the wild reactions.

The next three days passed quickly, and they settled into university life. Though they were placed in different classes, Krimson studying Astronomy and Alora focusing on Biology, but they found ways to stay connected. They also befriended Vicky, a quiet girl who had once commented on their house tour video.

Unlike other students, Vicky didn't chase after their fame or money. She intrigued Krimson with her authenticity. "There's something real about her," he thought.

As their university life began, Krimson and Alora remained grounded despite their fame, ready to face whatever challenges came their way together.

After a long day at school, Krimson and Alora finally reached home. This time, unlike their usual lively selves, they were visibly exhausted. They changed into their comfortable house outfits and headed to the hall to unwind. Turning on the TV, they saw breaking news: Alora's mom and dad had just won another international award.

"Damn! They be working really hard," Krimson said, leaning back with his arms draped casually around Alora.

Alora smirked and replied, "That's my parents, always on top of their game."

Feeling inspired by the good news, they decided to throw an impromptu house party. Invitations were sent out to their classmates, and by 7 p.m., excitement buzzed through the air.

When the clock struck seven, guests began arriving. Within an hour, the mansion's yard was packed with more than 50 cars. The DJ set was lit with DJ Ketchup, one of the most renowned DJs in the world, hyping up the crowd. On the dance floor, the famous dance group and music band DTS had everyone going wild.

Krimson even took the mic for a short performance, sending the crowd into a frenzy. It was a party to remember, and the energy was electric.

As the night wound down, Krimson and Alora decided to slip away to their room to celebrate their successful bash. However, they were greeted with an unexpected sight—six of their classmates were tangled up on their king-sized bed.

"What the fuck?" Krimson blurted, his jaw dropping.

Alora gasped and muttered, "Are you shitting me?"

Without hesitation, Krimson called security to kick the rowdy guests out. Their maid quickly replaced the bed linens while Alora rubbed her hand against Krimson's cheek, her lips curling into a mischievous grin.

"I told you we should've locked the damn door," she teased.

Krimson chuckled, pulling her close. "Guess I'll listen next time," he replied before locking the door himself.

What followed was a wild, passionate night that left them breathless. When morning came, they woke to an eerily quiet house.

"Wow, yesterday was fucking insane," Krimson said as he stretched.

"You still have school today, sir," Isabel, their housekeeper, reminded in her usual formal tone.

Krimson smirked, glancing at her with a playful glint in his eye. "Yeah, yeah, we'll get ready," he replied.

Isabel caught his flirtatious look but chose to ignore it, walking away with a faint smile.

After a quick breakfast, Krimson and Alora made their way to school. The party had made them even more popular, with students stopping them in the hallways to compliment their hosting skills. But not all attention was positive.

School life wasn't just about classes and homework; Trisha made sure of that.

While Krimson and Alora's popularity skyrocketed after the party, Trisha grew increasingly bitter. She wasn't just a bully—she was a master of chaos, always scheming and stirring up trouble.

One week, Trisha decided to pull a stunt during gym class. While everyone was in the locker rooms, she snuck into the gym and swapped the basketballs with ones filled with glitter and confetti. When the game started, the first bounce sent glitter exploding everywhere.

"Damn, Trisha, you're seriously trying too hard," Alora muttered as she brushed glitter off her hair.

Krimson laughed, grabbing one of the glitter-covered balls and tossing it back into the hoop. "Guess she thinks this shit is funny."

Trisha, hiding in the bleachers, recorded the whole scene, cackling as she posted it online with the caption: The glitterati squad.

Another time, during chemistry lab, Trisha thought it'd be hilarious to add food coloring to Krimson's and Alora's experiment when they weren't looking. What started as a basic reaction turned into a green, bubbling mess that nearly overflowed onto the floor.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Krimson growled as the class erupted in laughter.

Alora smirked, wiping her hands on a paper towel. "She's got time today, huh?"

The teacher wasn't amused and sent Trisha to detention, but that didn't stop her.

One Friday afternoon, Trisha turned up the chaos by hacking into the school's internal email system. She sent out a fake announcement claiming that Alora and Krimson were holding a secret fan meet-up in the library after school.

By 3 p.m., the library was packed with students waiting for autographs and selfies. Alora and Krimson were caught off guard as they walked past and were practically mobbed by the crowd.

"What the actual fuck is happening?" Alora yelled as she was shoved toward the bookshelves.

Krimson, trying to push through the throng, shouted, "We didn't plan this shit! Everyone, chill!"

Meanwhile, Trisha watched from the hallway, laughing so hard she nearly fell over.

But Trisha didn't stop there. On Spirit Day, when everyone was supposed to wear their school colours, she convinced a group of students to show up in neon pink instead. She even managed to spray-paint a giant pink "T" on the school mascot statue.

When Krimson and Alora called her out, she just shrugged. "It's called creativity, babes. Maybe you should try it sometime."

The final straw came during senior prom. Trisha managed to spike the punch with hot sauce, turning what was supposed to be a fun dance into a chaotic scene of students coughing and yelling. Krimson and Alora immediately knew who was behind it.

"Trisha, what the fuck is wrong with you?" Alora snapped, cornering her by the dessert table.

Trisha smirked, unapologetic. "Relax, it's just a little spice. Can't handle the heat, queen?"

Krimson shook his head. "You're gonna burn out one day, Trisha. Just wait."

Despite the constant pranks and antics, Trisha's presence added an unexpected layer of excitement to their high school experience. Krimson and Alora found themselves both annoyed and slightly amused by her unrelenting schemes.

After a long stretch of high school life, Krimson and Alora were finally on the verge of graduation. The excitement was palpable as they dialled their parents and siblings to share the good news. Their parents arrived two days before the big day, and the anticipation was growing.

On graduation day, the crowd erupted in cheers as celebrities like Alora's mom, dad, and sister, as well as Krimson's parents and sister, were spotted in the VIP section. The atmosphere was electric. After a while, Iris and Max joined the VIP section as well, having completed their own graduation ceremony. The crowd went wild once again upon seeing Krimson and Alora's families and friends.

The day quickly became the best of their lives. Both families gathered for photos, along with their friends, capturing the memories. The constant stream of students and guests wanting pictures with them continued, though they tried their best to accommodate everyone.

Alora took the opportunity to introduce Vicky to her parents as their only true friend throughout school. Mrs. Ria and her husband, touched by the gesture, handed Vicky and her family a generous sum of a million dollars. Krimson's parents followed suit, making sure Vicky's family was also well taken care of. The ceremony wrapped up, and the families left together in a long convoy, heading to Krimson and Alora's mansion for a well-deserved rest.

That night, everyone slept at the mansion, and they couldn't have been happier. After the celebration, the families headed back to their home country, where life continued with new beginnings.

In their old country, Krimson and Alora began signing up for future jobs. After three years, Krimson achieved his dream and became one of the most successful astronauts in the world. Alora, too, found her place as one of the most successful doctors in the country. Meanwhile, Iris and Max excelled as two of the most distinguished soldiers, setting new standards of success in their field.
