**Brandon's P.O.V**
"Cheers. To a new life and all the ass holes we may come across along the way." Everyone laughs and I raise my glass. "Also to Sir Bowman. The greatest ass hole I've ever known."
He laughs be grudgingly and I smile.
Everyone cheers and drinks down their champagne. I sit my empty glass down and take my seat. While everyone is into their own conversation I pull Bowman to the side.
"Nice party, huh?" I ask with a smirk.
He looks around the room. "I'd appreciate it if we didn't went all out on the wine. There's no such things as money trees, ya know?"
"Then maybe we should plant some." I take a sip of my champagne and he eyes me. The music starts playing and everyone but us move to the dance floor.
"Listen, kid. This is a program to-"
"Cut that interview shit out, Pops OK? I know what the fuck this is and it's not what you say it is." I look at him in his eyes. "We all could be making real money off of businesses that other people create and build off of them."
He scoffs. "I know what your getting at. And I agree. But you all are college students. Freshmen's at that. No one is going to listen to any of you when it comes to business. To them you all are just kids."
I shake my head at him. "I could have sworn in one of those interviews you did, you specifically said, and I quote, 'I believe in you all'. Sounds like bullshit to me."
"I believe in every last one of you!"
"Then prove it!"
A man with a wine bottle walks over and we both turn away from each other. He fills our glasses up and leaves. I take a sip and he gulps his down.
"You, Charles, Xavier and Austin are good to this program," he says and I scoff. "And if you want to take this program to a whole new level, you should first speak with them. And I appreciate you bringing it to my attention, but I need to think about this. There are more people coming into this game here and it's up to you four to decide who stays and who leaves."
"Too much people is a distraction," I said. I turn to him and we both say in unison:
"Keep the relevant and get rid of the irrelevant."
We both smirk at each other then look away. Guys and girls smiled and danced on the dance floor. Most looked over at us and caught us watching and tried to show off.
"Glad to have this conversation with you, ass hole," I said and finishes by wine.
"Shut the hell up and call for more wine."
