The first time Ajax came to Richmore University, he was awed by its beauty. Tall gigantic buildings stood tall and elegant. Students walked by passed him. Some alone, some in two’s, some in groups.He had come on one of those visits in which parents take their kids to different colleges of their choice. It was Vaughn that took him.He used to think when he gets in he would be either walking to class alone- because Caroline was not studying the same course as he was. Then when returning from class, he would be with his girl, Caroline.Life always threw curve balls, twisting and turning plans.Here Ajax was, with a girl as he speculated. The only difference was that it was not the girl. It was Elena and her Mum.The both of them; Elena and Ajax had resigned from their job at Parker’s café.Elena was moving into her dorm that morning. So was Ajax.Ajax watched Elena walk into the female dormitory with her mum helping her to carry her things.He had no one to help him so he carried the

Few weeks have gone since Ajax’s meeting with Nicholas. He had vowed to eradicate system from the earth because that was what his parents. If it was their mandate and also the reason they died, he wasn’t going to let their death be in vain. When he vowed that, he was hell bent and it felt like the right thing to do.Not until when he was on his way home from the meeting that he started replaying everything in his head. He had a system in him. A system that Nicholas knew nothing about. Would he be a hypocrite to wipe them all away and spare his own? Because he had sort of grown attached to her. Literally. Yup. He still referred to his system as she/ her.And what about the good ones? Because his system was good. It was the reason he could attend college. Without her tasks and missions, he would not have earned enough money to keep him in college.Even Vaughn had no idea about his system. He had even lied to Vaughn that he had enough money to keep himself in school. It wasn’t a lie th

Ajax had accompanied Elena on the way back to her dorm. He could not believe that nearly everything he thought he knew about her were lies. Apparently, he was being too inquisitive the day they met and she had to lie just to be safe. Ajax could not just tell her that he was not the one that was being inquisitive but it was his system.He could already picture her staring at him like he had grown two heads or like he had gone mad. So he kept quiet and walked her to her dorm.“Thank you for tonight. I’m really sorry it had to be cut short.” Elena apologized as they got to the front of her dorm.Ajax nodded. “It’s fine. It’s not your fault. I do hope your roommate is fine. We could do this some other time if you don’t mind though.”Elena smiled at him. She reached forward and gently placed her lips on his cheeks, pecking him good night. She turned and disappeared into the dorm.It was dark and still raining hard. Ajax started his walk back to his dorm that was not so far away. He rep

It was weekend and Ajax had no lectures. He and Raphael headed to the labs.“Are we taking an Uber?” Raphael asked as he shut the dorm door behind him. He was dressed in a white cooperate shirt and brown plain trousers. The shirt was buttoned to the top and a black tie rested loosely on his collar. Ajax just had a T- shirt on with light blue denim jeans trousers and some casual shoes.“Yeah, sure.” Ajax replied. He was deep in thought. The events of Halloween night could not go out of his mind. He was surprised twice. First Elena’s boyfriend was Nate. Did she even know who Nate was? And secondly Raphael.***“Is he bothering you?” Nate asked as he got to them.“Nate?” Ajax said staring at him dead in the eyes, his features torn between surprise and anger. Surprise that Elena was dating that douche bag. How long have they been together? Okay, that aside, he was pissed that Nate found Elena was wanted to use her the way he used Caroline to get to him.The thought pissed him off that he

“Alright.” Nicholas said as they walked in. “You love the place yeah?”“I do Mr Baldwin.” Raphael said nodding enthusiastically. “Mr Nicholas.” Nicholas corrected.“I’ll see you both out then myself.” He said turning to the lady.It seemed like she got the message because she bowed and left the office.Nicholas ushered them out and they walked the hallways heading down to the parking lot.“Can I see my parents’?” Ajax asked breaking the silence.Raphael and Nicholas turned to him. “What?”“I mean their office And labs?” Ajax clarified.“Oh, I would love to but it’s out of bound at the moment.” Nicholas responded with a sad face.Ajax rolled his eyes. “Like you are not the one making the rules.” Nicholas chuckled. “Sorry. You can’t get in there. Any little mistake could result in years of work being destroyed.”Ajax kept mute as they kept walking. He tried his best not to let his face show how much he loved the place. Grey’s labs was beautiful and it used to be his drea
