Chapter 1

Richard Campbell walked into Alicante university with his black bag which gave him joy and inner peace. He has finally gotten into the university of his choice after so much struggle and hard work.

He went straight to his hostel as all the information and school map has been sent to him already. Richard was already missing his grandma as he had never been away from her before. Grandma Eleanor has been the best person in his life,all he could think of is if she'd be able to fend for herself as she was already old and weak. All he remembers as a kid was her. He have no memory of his parents or childhood and she wasn't willing to tell either.

He wished he knew his parents or how they looked like but grandma Eleanor wouldn't spill.

She worked her heart out just to send him to the best schools. She was once a cleaner in my highschool and getting this scholarship was the best thing to happen to me.

He got into the hostel and three other boys were seated. He walked in and they came at him.

"Ohhh! Welcome lad. Who's kid are you? Are you the heir to an electronic company? Telecommunication? Which one are you?" A guy with a ginger hair asked. His eyes were black and he was muscular. Richard was scared of him because he was tall and tiny. He had a black hair and black eyes too and he wasn't the type to gym or keep fit.

"Let the boy be George. Let him settle down first." One with a blonde hair and caramel eye spoke.

He dropped the bag his grandma had bought for him.

"It looks so expensive. How much did you get that? Is that a limited edition?" The third guy asked. He was also muscular and very handsome. His face was pale and he was really tall. He had hazel eyes,nice sculpted face which could pass as a model anytime any day.

Richard was about to answer when his phone rang. He went out and picked it.

"Welcome to Alicante university bro. I'll help you find your way here and I'll introduce you to the hottest chick." George winked.

"Welcome. I'm George Phillips. Son and only heir of Phillips electronics. " The handsome guy who went to get a call came back and introduced himself.

"I'm Pete, Pete Morrison. Son and only heir of the biggest five star restaurant in America You know what it is." The ginger haired boy spoke.

"The Blue Lagoon." They all echoed and for the first time in his life, Richard Campbell felt among.

"Well I'm Scott Watson. Son and only heir of Watson group of companies." He winked and Richard smiled as best as he could.

Richard felt so welcomed and happy. For the first time in his life he had made friends who were nice to him.

When he was in high school,ma'am Eleanor was the cleaner so he was bullied by his friends. Everyone called him the cleaner's son and nobody wanted to be friends with him.

He got into the university all thanks to his girlfriend who informed him about the scholarship and he applied for it quickly. He wrote the exam and was the only one who passed. It was even a shock to the university. Most of the board members were against him joining the university as he wasn't the son of a prestigious family but he was later accepted in. Alicante university was created for rich and wealthy kids in America.

Who knew his happiness would be cut short. Two weeks after resuming,he got caught. Well apparently Scott has been on his neck since he had resumed and he found out he was a scholarship student. Hence,his suffering began. Scott and the rest of his room mates were hell-bent on keeping the customs and traditions of the school. They wanted to make life a living hell for Richard so he could withdraw and leave the school.

He was in class when they started taunting him again.

"Look who we've got there?" George asked immediately he entered the class.

"The boy on scholarship." He said and they all laughed at him. He felt so ashamed. He bowed his head in shame as he took his seat.

The lecturer came in and lectured them. After everything,he noticed they were all giggling and grinning. He stood up to leave but George held him.

"Who asked you to leave?" He sneered and Richard rolled my eyes.

"Let me go George. I'm not in the mood for all of this." He yelled and George shaked his head.

Richard was draged out of the class. He was pushed into the boot of the car and locked.

"Let me go. Let me go please." He begged. He kicked and punched,struggled to get out but everything was all useless.

Before he knew it,the car was in motion already. All his yells and screams were useless as no one came to his rescue.

The car stopped after a while and the boot was open. Richard came out all sweaty. He breathed in and out enjoying the fresh air.

"Where's this? Where did you bring me to Scott?" He asked as it was Scott he saw first.

He got no answer. They all looked at him like some bloody thirty vampire.

The house was a huge dark and gloomy storey building. The location itself was weird and goosebumps covered my whole body.

It looked like a frat house. There were drawings all over the walls.

"Stop please! Don't do this to me." He begged but he was carried into the house and was thrown to the floor.

There were lots of guys and girls in the building doing their thing.

"What are you guys doing?" He asked again and they smiled.

"What we do to low lives like you? It either you leave our school or you endure whatever we do to you." Pete glared and he knew he was in trouble.

"I can't leave. I've gone through a lot just to get into this school. I can leave the hostel for you,infact I won't even let you see my face again." Richard promised but Scott smirked.

"Do you think I'm joking here? Alicante university was built for heirs like us. This university was built just to train heirs and no for lowlifes like you. You're tarnishing the image of the school and that of we the students who attends this school." Scott glared at me and he was scared. His heart began to beat faster and he didn't know what to do.

"Should i run away or fight them back?" He looked at himself his arms and that of George,Scott and Pete and he knew deep down that he wasn't a match for them.

They grabbed a Kindle stick each. He stood up to run but he got hit in the back and fell on the ground.

"Scott! We don't have to do this." He said but they continued the torture.

He cried and begged for life but it fell on their deaf ears. They beat him to a pulp and they stopped when they got tired. They threw him out in the dark,rainy night and left him all alone by himself.

His body was swollen and sme parts were bleeding. He had no money on him for a bus not to even talk of hospital bills.
