Liam got into the white Bugatti as soon as the Chauffeur opened the door for him, and they drove straight to Hilton’s college, moving through the avenue that led to the students’ parking lot until Andy parked the car, and alighted at once to get the door for Liam who was at the back seat. At that point, the attraction of all the students who were in and around the parking lot marveled at the sight of the exotic car that they had not seen before on the school premises. Sights of admiration were gazed at Liam as he stepped out of the car, and adjusted his clothes with a confident smile on her face. Coincidentally, Larry was also at the park with Pamela and Dan, and his spotlight was stolen from him as everyone who usually wanted a photo of him or just wanted to say hi including the ladies changed their focus to Liam whose entire appearance was both intriguing and catchy. “Who the hell is that?” Larry’s eyes stared curiously at Liam who was surrounded by almost all the students in
The three companions continued to stare at the building where Liam had entered even though he was out of sight. The silence that existed in their midst was accompanied by a lot of suspense and tension that made them very afraid. At that moment, most of the students who were busy talking about the new hot student had started heading to their various classrooms, ignoring Larry and his companions whose time had elapsed entirely. “How did he know about Liam?” Dan broke the silence after a long time, and then he changed his focus to Pamela who was dealing with the guilt that surged through her veins even though she tried to hide it. “Pamela?” Larry called out to her with a low but firm tone, trying to be confident even though he was very nervous. “Did you tell anyone about Liam?” Larry asked with a low tone that also expressed his nervousness, but Pamela felt offended by his words and lifted her eyebrows in shock. “Why would you even ask me that? I mean, why would I tell anyone a
Liam became the hottest topic in school that morning as everyone who saw him walking through the hallway had their eyes on him, wondering who he was, and when he had gotten into the school. On the other hand, he knew his way around the school, and that made everyone who saw him walking confidently to the locker room for the senior students to wonder how he was able to know all of that since he was evidently new to the school. Most of the new students who had come to the school always needed someone to show them around, but the dashing young man seemed to know even more than some older students. The bell had stopped ringing for the students to move to their classrooms, but some of them were still standing along the hallway, talking about the new student or some other topic that they had left out as a result of the weekend. Liam listened attentively to know if any other person was going to talk about him and the tragic incident, but it seemed as though he didn't matter at all. A
There was a sudden silence in the room which even attracted the attention of the Professor, but he felt the students had decided to behave themselves for once without being told to and continued writing slowly on the board. Larry felt a bit embarrassed by the fact that Liam ignored him, he looked around quickly, and he could see that the rest of the students were eager to see what he was going to do. They had always known him to get what he wanted no matter what, and they were certain that the situation was not going to be an exception. “Didn’t you hear me? I said you should get up from my desk!” Larry’s voice was still imperative, but Liam still ignored him and acted as though there was no one around him. This made Larry feel more embarrassed, and he felt that his reputation was at stake at that moment. He looked around the classroom, and he could see that the eyes of all the students seated in the classroom were waiting eagerly to see what he was going to do to the new stude
The last lecture they had was on anatomy before the bell for lunch break went off, and everyone left the classroom except for Liam who sat back, waiting patiently until everyone was out. “Brina? Are you there?” “Always.” Brina’s voice echoed from within his head, and he sighed softly while he looked around to be sure that he was really alone, and that no one was coming into the classroom. He was about to speak when he saw two ladies walking into the classroom with coy smiles on their faces. Their steps were slow but steady, and it was obvious that they had something up their sleeves as they walked up to him.“Well, it seems you have some admirers already.” Brina teased, but Liam said nothing as he stared at the ladies who were already close to him, and were definitely going to see him if he said anything to Brina. Liam looked at the ladies closer, and after noticing that they looked identical, he realized that they could be sisters. They had the same long raven-black hairs, w
Liam looked at the student who was still on the floor while everyone laughed at him, including the twins who were standing close to him. He recognized him as Noah, one of the Junior students with impaired sight who was bullied by almost everyone in the college. “He is so clumsy! What a waste!” Zoe said with so much ridicule laced in her voice while she and her sister continued to laugh scornfully at Noah who still couldn't find his eyeglasses even though it was right in front of him. Looking at Noah at that moment, Liam was reminded of what he had gone through at the hands of Larry and most students who bullied him the way they wanted because he couldn’t do anything, and obviously needed to work for them in order to afford his fees. “Get up! Out of the way!” Larry kicked Noah on the belly, causing him to grunt in pain while he stretched his hands across the floor, still in search of his glasses that he needed to be able to see clearly. Some of the students who saw how hard
Liam gave Larry a glare while the bully was forced to take two steps backward, seeing that Liam was getting close to him with a stern look on his face. “You don’t know when to give up, do you?” Liam snarled angrily at Larry while he forced himself not to throw a punch on his face. He could feel Brina urging him not to even though she refused to say a word. At that moment, every other person had backed off, including the female worker who slowly returned back to her position, and decided to watch from afar. No one was willing to interfere in the affair of the two of them as they waited eagerly to see what Larry’s reaction was going to be. “Why won't you mind your business, newbie? Can’t you just stay in your lane? Must you try to poke your nose into things that do not concern you?” “Oh, I assure you. I will always be here to stop you from bullying other students, Larry Prescott. I am your bane, your Waterloo.” “What?”“Yes, Larry. I can see that you are very stubborn. I un
Liam spent the next five minutes in solitude while he thought about the best way to handle the situation. Obviously, he didn’t have any evidence to prove that Larry pushed him down from the building, but he was definitely going to find a way to make him pay. “You have done well, Emrys. Lord Phaunos made no mistake in choosing you as his successor.” Brina’s serene voice said from within his head, causing him to adjust himself on the seat while he sighed softly. “But you tried to stop me from helping him out.”“You were put in a situation that was meant to scrutinize you, and you have shown how noble you are, how kind-hearted you are. You are the right one for this great task, Emrys.”Liam blinked severally, and then he lifted his brows to form a furrow.“Wait…” He huffed some air before he continued after looking around to be sure that no one was watching him. “Are you trying to say that that was a test?” “If that is what you choose to call it, then yes, it was a test.”“Wh
