Last night, Nathan arrived at his hostel, tired and frustrated. He tiptoed in as Devin was fast asleep and he didn’t want to disrupt his sleep. Nathan’s mind was hazy so he opted for a good long sleep after he had showered.He woke up to a very sunny day with the aftermaths of a sever headache. Unfortunately, he had to live the day with the headache. He could hear loud bangs in his head. These bangs persisted even untill the afternoon. There was no way in hell he could focus in any class so he stayed away from class. He secluded himself in the school’s library, where it was relatively quiet. And he couldn't feel much pain.Luckily he had escaped everyone, and didn't tell them were he was. And he hoped they wouldn't find him soon enough. But Rose came into the library then, looking as stunning as ever in a red body-con dress and her hair tied into a ponytail. It seemed she had taken extra care on how she looked today. He felt a compulsive desire to explain to her what had happene

It was the second time Nathan was summoned to the deans office. First time was when he had a fight with Cayden during the basketball ball game.Unlike his first where it was just him and the dean in the office,today, he was summoned together with Velma and surprisingly, Rose's friend he had seen before, the curly haired chestnut skin who was the prettiest in the group. What was she doing here? Was she a witness? Or some form of plaintiff?There was, sitting beside the dean, a police officer. He looked low ranked, a bit taddy and pissed off with his situation, thereby looking for someone to take it out on.Velma was quite composed.It seemed like she was used to the deans office which was somewhat choking Nathan. He just didn’t like it in here.“Good morning Mr. Blueberry,” Nathan said. “You asked for me.”“Same sir,” Velma said.“Yes, yes, I did ask for you guys.” the dean said, as if trying to find his footing and wits in placing this whole situation “It is no news now that Rosetta

Nathan awoke from his painful and unending sleep . The sun rays were pouring in through the parted curtains. Standing before him was Mr. Swack together with two nurses. He felt like he had been kept in a fridge or locked up in an ice ball. It was freezing in the room and goosebumps formed on his skin.“How do you feel now?” Mr. Swack asked.How did he feel? Nathan didn't know. He turned around to flex his muscles before speaking, “Light, I feel lighter.” Nathan said.“How long have I been asleep?” He asked.“An estimated thirteen hours Sir,” replied one of the nurses.“What the hell, it does feels like I've been asleep for a hundred years,” Nathan said, trying to sit upright on the bed. His body still ached all over, but the pain had reduced substantially from what it was before, he was a lot relieved“Go get a shower and put these on,” Mr.Swack said, tossing over a transparent pack containing a white shirt and black trousers, and a new white towel to Nathan. “I'd be in my office,

It took some minutes of quiet and cuddling for Velma to get herself together.“I'm really sorry, it must still be fresh in your memory to give you this amount pain, I never knew.”“It's nothing. I should be thankful to you. I really needed to tell someone I feel lighter.” Velma said.“Cayden must have loved him so much,” Nathan said, with a straight face.“Our dad was Cayden’s world. When Cayden lost him, he lost every good virtue in him.My mum and I mourned for some months but Cayden mourned for over a year. It got so bad that I, on many occasions, caught him hallucinating. "He would get into his room, lock himself up and start speaking to my late dad. He would beg my dad not to get the basketball again if that was what was keeping him from coming home.” Velma said. “His unquantifiable sadness turned into rage.”“And all that had been the reason he'd ambushed me with his gangsters?” Nathan carefully introduced that question. "I don't know why he did that. If I had known I wouldn

Tension filled Nathan's thoughts as he was going to get into Mr. Khorsrow’s mansion later in the evening to find out Rose’s exact location in the house, and what would be needed to get her out alive.He thought of it all through the day, fervently praying and wishing for his last class to end.“Nathan!!” Letha called out as Nathan was about boarding a taxi home. He told the taxi driver to be wait while Letha ran to him.“Are you ever at a place? This minute you’re at the Library, the next you’re at the Cafeteria, and the next after you’re boarding a cab.” Letha said, exhaling deeply.“I’m always on the road, and considering there's something crucial I need to get done.” Nathan replied.“It’s tiring to always have to look for you,” Letha said with a sad face. “I was hoping we could hang out, at a restaurant or…” Letha was saying, before Nathan interrupted. “Letha I really appreciate it but I have very important things to do and I'm not really available at the moment.” Nathan said, pa
