Chapter 292 - THE SICK FRAT RITUAL (1/2)

Aiden wanted to say no. He wanted to lie and tell Clark that he had other plans, but for some stupid reason, he did not.

Instead, he goes to the party with Clark and his other workmates

Looking back now, if he only said 'NO' then he might have lived his life as ordinary as how it always was.

But that was not his fate.

His fate that night is death.

On the night of his death, Aiden arrived at Clark's apartment with a boring plain white shirt and a hand me down faded jeans.

When Clark opened the door for him, he was wearing a baby blue 3/4th sleeve polo shirt and black slacks that are a little tight-fitting on the lower part.

As soon as Clark saw what Aiden was wearing, his faced grimace and asked him with an exasperated expression.

”What the hell are you wearing Aiden?? Where is your outfit???

”I don't have an outfit.”

Aiden replied as if it is a matter of fact.

Yes, of course, it is.

”It is a party we are going to, Aiden. You need an outfit!!

He snapped before massaging his glabella.

”I guess we will have to improvise.”

Clark pulled Aiden inside his apartment and began rummaging through his closet.

”I have a couple of clothes here that might fit you”

The inside of his closet was practically bulging out with different formal men's wear. That is all good for OOTD  and 'instagramable' outfits.

Most likely, those are what he used to wear during his dates to impress girls.

Is that where he spends all of his salaries????

”Here”

Clark said as he handed Aiden a black tuxedo

”Put this on and we will combine it with a bow tie to complete you perfect 'groom' looks.”

”Do I really have to wear this??? And a bow tie you say??? You even have that one???!”

”Yeah, I have one leftover from last year when I used to attend a debut and have to dance as one of the eighteen roses”

Aiden took the black tuxedo from Clark and went to his bathroom.

Two minutes later he wandered out dressed up like a groom

The bow tie sticks on his neck uncomfortably making him feel like something was choking him.

Clark helps him gel his hair and fix his hairstyle then he eyes him up and down with approval.

”Woah, dude! You look hot! In fact, you look really hot. I'm such a legend for transforming you!”

Aiden was not too sure how to react, but once again he was compelled to remain his silence and not to argue

Aiden and Clark left his apartment and headed to the fraternity house party.

Along the way, they run into their other workmates who were all amazed by Aiden's transformation from a 'Nerdy Boy' to a 'Handsome Groom'.

One of them even run up to Aiden's direction and gushed out in delight

”Clark, you are such a legend! I can't believe you really got him into that suit. Boss Jay will surely like it.”

”Shut up Mark!!!”

Clark snapped back, becoming weird and defensive.

”Wait. Who is Boss Jay??”

Aiden asked suspiciously but Clark just shrugged his shoulder and answered

”No one---Absolutely no one.”

Before Aiden could ask for more questions, Clark already draped his arm over Aiden's shoulder and began talking about what happened on their work that day.
