He was really excited about the party and was looking forward to it. But his dreams could become reality, as during the lunch hour, Mark met him and told him that he would not be attending the party as a first -- year student but would rather be working in the party as a waiter. And if he disagreed to his proposal, the entire college would see the video film of his during the party. Hearing this, Edward was petrified & readily agreed. He was told to go to the caterers & enroll his name as one of the wait staff for the evening. He readily did that and when the other boys asked him that why he was doing so, he said that he was in need of money. He knew that the waiters would get fifty pounds for that evening. The other boys knew that he was a rich man's son so they asked him again the reason for doing so. Then he said that he didn't want to be dependent on his rich father and wanted to earn money on his own and show it to his father that he was capable of doing so. This was quite a valid reason and they also liked it. Time came for the party and everyone was very excited. Edward reached the party hall rather early and was given his uniform, and was briefed about the way he was to work. The party began at 8 p.m., and all the waiters began their job. Then came Mark, the personal responsible for making Edward work as a waiter in the party along with his friends -- Michael, Christopher & Joe. They all were looking very handsome and you could see the feeling on Edward's face looking at them. Mark was the first one to spot his boy -- Edward, & as soon as he did so he summoned him by snapping his fingers. He came with a tray of drinks in his hand and served his seniors. Edward served them. Then Mark told him that he was still to be punished for the mess he had made on the bed the previous day. Edward begged him not to say anything here as he had agreed to work as a waiter on his command, so he should not disgrace him in front of the entire college. He said that he wouldn't but had had another plan on the back of his mind. He secretly told something to Michael as Edward left him. He was about to hatch a conspiracy and create a situation so that they could humiliate Edward. After about fifteen minutes, Michael summoned the waiter -- Edward, and somehow, as he came they made him spill the drink on Mark's shoes. This infuriated him and Mark started abusing the waiter, saying that he did not know his job and should not be working there. Hearing all the commotion, the manager came in and told the waiter, Edward to clean Mark's shoes. He had to do what the manager said, as he wouldn't have been paid his salary for the day otherwise. He was humiliated on cleaning Mark's shoes and could see the evil grin on his face showing that he had won again and had showed Edward his actual place. After he cleaned his shoe, Mark told him that this was his first level of punishment and the others would continue in the room and would go on if he did not serve them as they wanted him to. He even told him that from then on, he was not only Michael's butler but also was Christopher's, Joe's & his "butler" and he himself would have to go and tell the warden that he wanted to work for them as he wanted to earn money. And if he did not do so, he would be in for tremendous embarrassment and humiliation. The party went on till late at night, all the waiters including Edward did their job and was freed after cleaning up. All the boys enjoyed a lot and were dog tired after the four-hour long dancing till midnight. They returned to their rooms and just went off to sleep, as they were too tired to do anything else.
