Almost startled by her presence, Liam turned to look at Brina who had had her gracious smile intact and admired him from a short distance. “I think we might need to do something about that.” Brina pointed to the amulet that bulged up from inside his suit, and then she walked up to Liam who was curious to know what she was up to. “Let’s see…” Brina moved her head backward a bit and after she had observed the amulet for a while, she snapped her fingers, and it changed into a silver necklace with a small pendant that was shaped like an ace. “There… I think that’s better.” She nodded in satisfaction while Liam felt the weight of the amulet lessen and was forced to reach out to the inside of his cream shirt. “What?” He said softly as he pulled out the necklace, and looked at it with his eye widened. “You like?” Brina inquired with an anticipatory smile, but Liam’s countenance gave way to a gloom that appeared a few seconds later. Realizing that he was saddened by the memories t
Brina sat down beside Liam who slept peacefully until the next morning with a smile that showed how peaceful his sleep night was. “Emrys! Wake up!” Her loud whisper resonated in Liam’s ears, causing him to grunt as he turned to the other side with his eyes still closed, and his arms widely spread across the bed. “Emrys! Wake up!” Brina tapped Liam on the forehead, and he opened his eyes instantly, groaning as he turned to his right. “I had the most amazing dream last night. I wish it could come to pass.” Liam said with a weak tone, and then he turned to the other side of the bed, yawning with his eyes closed. “Whoa!” He almost jumped out of the bed as soon as he saw Brina seated on the bed with a smile on her face. “Good Morning, Emrys. I can see that you slept well.” “It wasn't a dream?” Liam wiped his eyes with both hands and when he was done, he blinked severally to be sure he wasn't hallucinating. “You are real.” He slowly touched Brina who chuckled softly while look
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
