Micah hadn't realised just how much damage that one stupid post would cause until it was too late. At that time, his only worry was his mother, Elina. Since she was a well-known professor on campus, it didn't take long for her to hear the rumour. And Micah was sure Elina would chew his ear off. And right on cue, his phone rang.
Micah answered with dread. "Hello?"
"Oh, my! What's with your depressed voice?" Elina said, "Trouble in paradise? Did you have another fight with your hot boyfriend?!"
"Mum!" Micah said, cringing. "Not you too! It isn't anything like the post claimed! He was just helping me!" Micah practically yelled in frustration.
"Well, I was really disappointed thinking my only son had hid something this important from me. And...Ah.." Elina sighed on the phone. "I had to hear it from my archenemy in the faculty."
Micah bit inside of his cheek. "I'm sorry…"
"Why are you apologising? It's good news. You can invite him to your birthday…"
