OLIVER'S RISE TO INFLUENCE

At about 1 PM, Oliver, a slender and athletic individual, confidently rode his power bike onto the campus of Bechem University.With his appearance, one could think Oliver was a billionaire or a wealthy model, but his reality was far from that. Oliver was a struggling delivery guy who could hardly afford his meals.Every day was a struggle for him, juggling part-time jobs and often missing his classes. When he wasn't running errands for wealthy students, he was occupied with his part-time work. It was safe to say he was the poorest student on campus.Oliver had initially been admitted to the university on a scholarship. However, a few months later, due to the vice chancellor's greed, his scholarship was suddenly revoked, and he was forced to start paying tuition fees. So he had to hustle twice as hard to pay for his tuition and other fees.Glancing at his watch, Oliver realized he was running late for his delivery. Determined, he started his bike and headed onto campus. He had one las

Oliver was fuming with anger. He'd just been humiliated in front of the whole school by the woman he loved and thought loved him back. He had spent all his money on her, believing in their relationship, only to be left devastated. All his savings were gone, and there was no way to get them back.The situation was even worse because the whole thing had been recorded and was spreading everywhere—school sites, W******p groups, and social media. The popular girls made sure it went viral, adding to his misery.He kept replaying what happened over and over, each time feeling more hurt. He had trusted her and believed in their relationship, but she used him and then discarded him in the most public and cruel way. It wasn’t just about losing love; it was realizing that what he thought they had was nothing at all.Oliver would have loved to hit Harry, the cause of his humiliation, but the auditorium where everything unfolded was like a spotlighted arena, a mini coliseum where everyone gathered.

When Oliver opened his eyes, he was disoriented. It was no longer evening but morning. He had been out cold for hours, and he couldn't remember how long.He found himself in a fancy hospital room, equipped with the latest medical gear. The room was brightly lit, and he was lying shirtless on the bed, with bandages wrapped around various parts of his body. Medical devices were hooked up to him."Where am I? Shouldn't I be dead?" he mumbled, confused. The last thing he remembered was being beaten up. He tried to piece together how he ended up here, his mind racing.As he tried to make sense of things, the door creaked open, and a man in a white coat with a stethoscope walked in. Oliver recognized him as the doctor."Doctor, where am I? Why am I restrained with all these devices connected to me?" He attempted to sit up but winced in pain."Thank goodness you're awake! Don't worry, just stay calm. I'm here to administer your final dose of medication," the doctor reassured in a soothing vo

Inside the cinema, Sophia and Harry occupied the VIP seats, surrounded by a festive buzz of conversation among the students. However, everyone kept their voices down as per Harry's request for silence.The aroma of popcorn filled the room, heightening the excitement for the upcoming movies they were about to watch."Honey, can we change the movie?" Sophia asked, wrinkling her face as she attempted to make Harry budge."Sweetheart, today's movie is the official selection. Changing it wouldn't be fair, don't you think?" Harry attempted to persuade her with a smug grin, but she remained determined."I don't want this one, I want 'Mepa Cappadocia'," she stated confidently.Harry stood up and went straight to the cinema manager, after a brief conversation with her and a generous tip, Harry returned to his seat with a confident smile gracing his face.With pride swelling in his chest, he made his way back to his seat, and to add to his satisfaction, Sophia leaned in affectionately, and thei

The entire cinema fell into a stunned silence as Oliver’s bold statement echoed through the whole room. The audacity of his threat left everyone stunned.Sophia’s eyes widened in shock, her mouth hanging open as she tried to comprehend everything Oliver had said. As the shock began to disappear, the atmosphere shifted from stunned silence to a whirlwind of excitement and speculation. The students erupted into hushed conversations, their voices filled with disbelief.“Did he really just threaten to shut down the entire cinema?” one student whispered, the voice trembling with excitement. “No way! Did he actually challenge the bouncers? That’s absolutely insane!” another student exclaimed, the eyes wide with amazement.“Oliver’s got guts, I’ll give him that,” someone else remarked, most people would have folded under the pressure, but he just stood his ground.” a tone of reluctant admiration in the voice.“Did you see the look on the bouncers’ faces?” another added, grinning widely. “T
