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 his floor, still in search of his glasses that he needed to be able to see clearly. Some of the students who saw how hard Lar
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
The hungry and thirsty customers at the Blackwood Diner sat at different corners, making orders, and consuming the food and drink served to them. Liam Robinson was one of the waiters, a twenty-three-year-old College Student in Boston, who had dreams of becoming a medical Doctor someday and struggled to achieve his dreams. Liam was an orphan who grew up in a foster home all through his life, and knew nothing about his identity. He managed to secure a scholarship in one of the prestigious Colleges in Boston and had to deal with the ridicule and callous demeanor he received from fellow students who bullied him and even some of his lecturers who felt he didn’t deserve to be in Hilton College. Clad in his waiter uniform, and with tiny sweatballs running down his face, he carried the cup of black coffee on the tray and walked toward table 22. “This is the last order.” He whispered to himself amidst the anticipation that made him forget about his exhaustion. “Here is your cup of c
Liam was speechless, he couldn't believe what was happening as it was happening fast. Standing there at a corner of the hall amidst the loud music and the crowd that was dancing and drinking to mark the end of the year, Liam felt tears trickling down his cheeks. “Oh, no. Poor thing. Don’t cry.” Larry placed his right hand on Liam’s shoulder, pretending to care about him. “Get your filthy hands off me!” Liam hit Larry’s hand off his shoulder, fuming with so much annoyance. “You think you can do whatever you like because you are rich! How dare you try to steal my girlfriend from me?” Liam voiced out angrily, and then he turned to look at Pamela whose eyes fired shots of displeasure at him. “Pam love? Please, tell me this is a joke. Look, I got you this.” Liam quickly opened the box and pulled out the necklace“I have been saving up for this, and I just finished completing the payment. It's perfect.” Liam tried to wear it on Pamela. “Get that cheap thing away from me!” Pamela
“Emrys! Wake up!” “Emrys! Wake up!” Liam heard the loud whispers, but he wasn't sure if he was supposed to open his eyes or not. “Emrys! It’s time! Wake up!” The whisper returned, and this time, it was louder, causing Liam to attempt to open his eyes almost immediately, but it felt as though he couldn't control his body. Suddenly, the memories of the encounter of the previous night surged into his mind, and he grunted in pain, shaking his head as he saw flashing images of his body plummeting from the tall building until he crashed to the ground and blacked out silently. He gasped! His eyes opened widely, and he blinked severally, panting at the tension that he felt all over him. “Where am I?” His mind questioned as he saw the bright stars that looked like they could be reached with a single jump, and the color of the atmosphere was glittery like nothing he had ever seen before. “Is this…heaven?” He struggled with the uncertainty that nestled in his mind as he looked arou
