Lennox's POV I pleaded with the secretary to know why the scholarship was cancelled but she didn't answer. “Please ma, the scholarship is my last hope of returning back to school." I pleaded with the secretary but her mind was made up. She was only following instructions. Tired of begging, I started dragging my feets slowly on the floor ready to go back to the orphanage when I heard a little voice in my head. “Giving up so soon? Let's sit down a bit before heading to the orphanage." Where was the voice coming from? I asked myself and just like the voice could hear me it replied again. "I'm in your head dummy. It feels so good to be back.” The voice said with excitement and a small laugh. I decided to follow the voice's instructions and I sat down on a nearby bench inside the school compound. A luxurious car drove inside the school compound and slowed down where I was sitting, the glass of the car was wound down and the occupant took a look at me before the car drove further inside the school compound. “Very arrogant.” I mumbled to myself before I slept off. A lady was running under a full moon with her clothes torn and I don't know what was chasing her but she kept running in the woods with no direction in mind until a tree stump fell her down and her blood dropped on the floor. A tap from the secretary woke me up from my sleep. The lady running in the woods was all a dream but it felt like reality. “The chairman said he would like to see you." She said softly and I stared at her. I thought she was annoyed earlier so what changed? I stood up from the bench I was sitting on and followed her quietly. “You're quite lucky. It's always rare to see the chairman change his decision after he has said his mind." She said afterwards. “You can enter the office." She pointed at a door that says “office of the chairman." I knocked the door softly before entering the office. “From your scholarship application I'm reading, I found out that your name is Lennox Hensley.” He said without raising his head from the tablet in his hands. "Yes sir.” I answered nodding respectfully. “I found you special and that's why I'm giving you this opportunity." He said, finally raising his head from the tablet in his hands. Our eyes met and my heart skipped a bit, the aura I'm feeling from him is very strong. He's the same occupant of the car that entered the school compound “Do not misuse it." He concluded and handed me an envelope containing my admission letter. "I won't misuse it sir.” I promised. "Welcome to Wesley High School.” He said finally giving me a smile and I smiled back too. The secretary gave me my school uniform and other necessary things too including my locker number and key and also my timetable. I'm meant to resume on Monday morning, I got back to the orphanage to deliver the good news to everyone who cared to listen. And Vincent, I didn't get to see him all through the weekend. I really can't wait to break the news to him. Monday morning came quickly, I woke up very early and prepared for school. I got dressed in my grey skirt with white shirt and a grey jacket and on the left pocket of the jacket, “Wesley High School” was boldly written on it. I stared at my reflection in the mirror but I was really convinced. I decided to let my hair fall to my shoulder after so many years. “This looks better.” I said to myself and strapped my school bag to my back. I took a bus to the school and I dropped a few meters away while I walked the remaining distance, I took a deep breath countless times before entering the school compound. I saw lots of students arriving in different luxurious cars and I felt different among them. “Am I ever going to vibe with them?" I asked myself. I located my class with the aid of the school map, classes were about to start when I entered the class. "I think we have a new student in our midst.” The teacher in class announced and all eyes turned to me and I felt very nervous. Their eyes were filled with curiosity probably to know more about me, I decided to introduce myself to the class before the teacher instructed. “Um… My name is Lennox Hensley. It's nice to be here.” My voice came out calmly like I never expected. “Welcome to Wesley Lennox.” The teacher said and pointed to an empty seat. I walked over to the empty seat and sat down quietly, my eyes quickly scanning through the class. While others were busy preparing to learn, the guy next to my seat had his head on his desk and was sleeping comfortably. The first period was over when he suddenly woke up and stretched himself. The pressure in the class suddenly felt very strong and I felt my tummy twist too. He stopped stretching and turned to stare at me before releasing a smirk. Am I his next victim? Or did he know I'm a scholarship student? I suddenly remember the little voice in my head. I wanted to speak to the voice. “Are you there?" I asked but I got no response.The voice doesn't even exist, I was only hallucinating. During the next period,we had to move to the science laboratory for pure and organic chemistry, the laboratory was filled with different test tubes and modern equipment I've only seen in textbooks, I tried paying attention to the class but a sweet smell kept distracting me. Who was it coming from? I tried sniffing around and my eyes met with the guy that came late to the class today. He was the one with the sweet smell. I quickly looked away before our eyes could meet. I continued walking around and my view was blurry until I bumped into someone. “Seems you love bumping into people alot madame.” A familiar voice Said. I raised my head to check who it was, “Vincent?" I called and he smiled. “Yup that's me." He said with a giggle and I couldn't help but laugh. “You school here too?" I asked even when I saw he was wearing a uniform. “Dummy! I'm wearing the school uniform too, How did you get in here?” He asked. "This was the school I applied for the scholarship “I thought the scholarship was cancelled?" He asked. "I'm kind of confused, Vincent Is anything wrong?" I asked. “Nothing is wrong but you have to be careful." He said and walked away. Is this school dangerous or are they involved in shady business? Why am I having blurry visions?
