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.~~~~Richard~~~~He walked back to the hostel under the rain made my wounds sting. The fact that he would be returning back to the same hostel and to George,Pete and Scott made him scared. He wrapped his hands around himself as he was shivering.He called my girlfriend,Chloe Thompson but her number wasn't going through. He got to the hostel about an hour later.He took his bath and changed into a dey and comfy clothes. He laid on his bed and after few minutes of wincing and crying in pain,he slept off.Immediately the door flung open, Richard woke up immediately and stood up."What are you still doing here?" Pete asked. His eyes shinning with the help of the full moon."This is my room." He replied and Scott laughed."How was he able to get this room? I thought its locked." George asked.My grandmother had saved up so much money. She couldn't pay my school fees so the least she could do was to get me the best room in the hostel. And why were three rich guys sharing the same room in t
~~~~The Next day~~~~His wounds were healing slowly and the pain had subside. He got a text message on his phone which seems to brighten his face."This is amazing. Yes!" He raised his clenched fist up in the air as he celebrated his victory.His favorite club which he applied for when applying for scholarship has messaged him back accepting him as a member.Richard walked to school still staring at the text message on the phone. He'll finally be joining the honorary member in school. This meant a lot to him as he had always wanted to be a member. Just wanted to feel rich and elite for once and it would also be feature on his CV when he wants to apply for a job about graduation.He wore the club uniform as it has been stated in the text message he received,a black trouser and a white shirt. He walked into the hallway and nobody was there which seems so weird to him.It was empty!He brought out his phone to check the time and he wasn't even a minute late. He was right on time. He hea
"Do you know how much this costs? I got it for $11,000." Scott screamed on top of his voice. His veins popping out of his neck."I don't care. Chloe let's get out of here now. Give him back the ring." Richard grabbed Chloe's hand and removed the ring."Give that back. What's wrong with you." Chloe tried to get the ring back from Richard but failed woefully. She slapped him across his face again. Richard rubbed his cheeks."What's wrong with you Chloe? Scott is not the kind of guy you'd want to be with." Richard said"Scott is the kind of guy I want to be with. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. He has a future not like you. He's the heir to a big company. He doesn't even need to apply for a job,he has a job waiting for me. He just got me a diamond ring and a dress worth $1100. How many people in your generation have seen that kind of money before?" Chloe went on and on and on until she ran out of breath."Where's the manager of this place? This is getting out of hands?" Sc
Mourning his grandmother for days and suffering in the cell. Richard became week and lean. His body became sore. He felt like if he would another day in police custody,he was going to loss. After a week,luck smiled at him and he was released by the officer."Mr Scott asked for your release on one condition. He asked for you never to go close to miss Chloe. He placed a restraining order on you too." The officer announced and Richard just walked out.He was too shattered to listen or pay attention to the officer. Who will he run to now? What's the essence of living? Where will he go? Who will he lean on?He walked out of the station into the cold night. "Maybe I should just end it all. Maybe I should just die." He said.He walked passed the bridge but he couldn't jump into the water. He was scared. He really wanted to end it but he needed a little push.He stared at the water again but he couldn't. He couldn't jump in. He moved away from the side railings.Richard walked down the roa
"Go upstairs and get some rest. I need to attend a zoom meeting urgently." Richmond said as his phone beeped."Sure sir. Thanks for finding me sir. Thank you so much." Richard answered."I had to. You're my grandson. My own blood." Richmond replied.With a clap of Richmond's hands,the maids and the butler stormed the living room immediately."My grandson is finally back. Please take him to the room and give him whatever he wants. I don't want to hear any complain from him." Richmond said and they all bowed."Let's go young master." The butler said and Richard followed them.They reached a white door and the butler opened the door. The room was huge and gorgeous. A king size bed laying in the middle of the room,a huge television hanging by the wall and a wardrobe by the order side. A big window and a balcony with a beautiful view of the city."Is there anything else you need young master?" The butler asked and Richard could only shake his head.They all left and Richard was all alone
Getting home Richard was taken to the garage to go pick a car of his choice. Normally he should have been used to thing kind of things already but he had a surprised look on his face when he got into the garage. Infact,he was flabbergasted. His mouth was wide open."Young master! You should close your mouth." Desmond said and Richard obeyed.So many cars,he didn't even know where to start from or what to pick. After going round and round,he finally picked a black Rolls-Royce."I think I like this one." He said as he admired the black car."Okay sir. This would be used to drive you to school tomorrow sir. You can also change your car whenever you want to or if you're tired of this." Desmond the butler said."Really? I'm allowed to change cars if I want?" Richard asked and Desmond gave him a bright smile."You own everything in here young master. Please do well to always remember that." Desmond said "Can't wait to take this to school tomorrow. Everyone is going to be surprised,includi
He was woken up by the butler with just a clap. Richard was too lazy to stand up. He was sleeping peacefully without an worry for the first time in his life."Young master! It's time for school." Desmond said."I'm tired." Desmond grunted."Do you want me to go tell your grandfather?" Desmond asked.Richard struggled to get out of bed. He eyed Desmond before he walked into the bathroom,took his bath finished up and wore a blue chinos trouser and a white polo. He wore a sneaker and his bag had already been packed by his butler.He got downstairs and the maid has arranged the dinning table."Good morning sir." They all bowed as they chorused.He had bread and jaw with tea."Where is my grandfather?" Richard asked."He'll be down shortly." Desmond answered. Just before Richard could take another bite of his bread,he heard his grandfather's voice."Good morning son! How was your night." Richmond asked."Good morning grandpa. My night was fine,yours?" Richard stood up."Sit down son. I s
