~~~~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 the first place? They could have easily rented a house. Or come from house to school?"Fine. You'll stay here but you'll have to sleep on the floor. Close to the door." Scott ordered. He opened his mouth to talk but he couldn't say anything. The fear of being beaten to a pulp when his old wound's haven't healed yet. The naive and scared me couldn't say anything."I'm such a fool." My subconscious added."Why why should I sleep on the floor? I paid for for this." Richard stammered. He was still scared of them but he wanted to stand up for himself. He wanted to fight for himself,defend himself and show them that he's a man.He still feel the pain of the previous beatings as he leaped and bent just to endure the pain."Are you seriously asking us that?" Scott yelled and Richard shaked his head.Richard took his blanket instantly and laid on the floor.George removed the blanket from his body."Lowlifes like you don't deserve warmth." Scott glared at him and they all went to sleep while he laid on the cold,hard floor wincing in pain and agony.***The next day***Richard was kicked in the butt which made him wake up. Richard stood up immediately as if he was a soldier who was ready to go for war. He winched in pain as his whole body hurts."Go get me coffee." George ordered. His eyes red as he batted his eyelashes."But I have a class this morning and it's really important to go. I have to get a perfect attendance." He informed.George threw a glass cup at him. "Are you crazy? I asked you to get me something and you're telling me trash. Are you trying to challenge me?" George yelled as he threw some notes on the floor. Richard took the money and scurried off.Richard was already tired of this kind of lifestyle. He felt like a slave already. He felt used and he don't have peace of mind in school. Life was better when he was with his grandma and doing odd jobs and hustling together. It was so much fun and he was always happy to go home unlike now. He has three monsters in the house waiting to devour himHe got the coffee and came back to give it to George. George took a sip and spat it at him"What did I do?" He said almost in tears."What did you do? What did you not do?" George repeated as he stood up and poured the coffee on Richard.Richard screamed as loud as he could. it burns. He was already in tears."That's what serves you right." George eyed and he moved away from him."Go get the right one." George barked as he ordered.Richard waited for him to give him some money but George only yelled at him."Get going you idiot. What are you waiting for?" George stood up and Richard took some steps towards the door."I don't have any money on me." Richard said."Do you think I care. All I want is my coffee so out you go now!" George pointed at the door and he knew better than to run out of the house if he valued his body and his dear life.He checked his phone and the only person he could call was my girlfriend Chloe Thompson.He called Chloe and asked to her for some money."What's wrong with you? I've been with you for six months but you've not given me anything. I want diamond earrings, take me shopping Richard. Take me on a vacation. I want you to drive me around with a car. I want to show you off to my friends and now you're asking me for money?" Chloe yelled into the phone."I'm sorry dear I promise to give you the life you deserve but just give me this just once please. Just $50 please." Richard begged."No,Richy,I'm not doing this with you today. I don't have any money to spare for a lowlife. Don't call m ever again." Chloe screamed"Babe come on. It's not up to this. Okay fine,don't send the money again. I don't want it." Richard said"Even if you say you don't want the money again,I don't want to have anything to do with you ever again. I hate you Richard and I regret the day I met you. I curse the day I accepted to be your girlfriend." Chloe screamed."Babe! I'm sorry. I wont be poor forever. When I graduate I'll get a good job and give you the life you deserve." Richard assured but al Chloe did was to laugh like a maniac."You're nothing but an idiot. So you want me to wait for four years. Your level of thinking is also low just like your life." Chloe said then hung up the call.Richard was sad. He didn't expect to hear such word from Chloe. They've been dating before they got into the university and she had never acted this way before."How would I get money to buy the coffee?" Richard asked himself as he paced round the coffee shop.Richard decided to call his grandmother for help."Hello ma." Richard said after his grandmother ma'am Eleanor picked at the first ring."Hey Richy. How are you." Eleanor said as her voice sounded weak and low."Are you okay grandma. You sound weird?" Richard asked."Nothing is wrong with me. I'm fine. I just woke up from sleep." Eleanor lied."I need some money urgently grandma. It's really important for an assignment." Richard lied."Sure. I'll send you some money right away. I don't really have much. I'll send the $100 I borrowed." Eleanor said and Richard sad face brightened.At least he'd stay out of trouble today. He got an alert and quickly went to buy the coffee for George.He came back with the coffee and George was nowhere to be found."I just wasted money." Richard said as he sat on the bed waiting for George to come back. He has missed his class and he had nothing more to do.He tried calling Chloe's number but it wasn't going through.~~~~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
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 hi
