Twisted fate

It was new life here at the University, it was all new to me and all I hoped to get was great archivement that would make my mom proud of me. Talking about it, a day had reached when i had to go in for my first lectures since i had just come to the University. Being the fact that i was wise i came on government payroll and when i entered class Mr.Ozulu, my lecturer welcomed me and mentioned it out to the students . Later on after the lectures as i was popping out of the lecture room , i met Malife and his boys who were studying the same course with me, and they started bullying me, calling me names since i had answered one question in class. With too much fear I tried to run away from them and i ended up falling from the stairs and dislocated my knee. I was taken to the hospital by Sheila my roommate where I was given cratches which i was supposed to use as I was walking. My lecture room was having different types of students for example the nerds, the music students, the three masketers, and Clinton the richest kid at campus. Different girls yearned being with Clinton but all in vain. He was an attitudetidical guy who gave girls the worst attitude whenever they would try getting close to him. Talking about the different types of students in my class i really was on my own because all my focus was placed on what brought me since i knew my background and i did not want to be like the most of the students who only enjoyed partying. Malife and his boys continued to tease me, they always threw my cratches away and ordered me to go pick them up like i was a puppet, they even assigned me to always do their assignments and i would not refuse. It is Monday and as usual i have to go for my lectures and this time around, i was being accompanied by Sheila my room mate. As soon as we arrived at the campus gate, there you go, Malife and his boys. They exchanged words with Sheila that they even gave her a hot slap. All of this was happening in front of Clinton who was standing on the balcony but did nothing at all to help us and as usual, they threw away my cratches and ordered i go and pick them up. They threw their books on the ground and ordered "we must find our assignments done else you won't like what we will do to you". I cried alot and after my business at campus was done, I went back home. The next day I took the books to malife and his boys and as usual the teasing began but surprisingly Clinton the rich guy came in and ordered me "your on my favourite spot but I'll forgive you only if you follow me". I had no option rather to follow him since he was my angel who tried to save me from danger. Why do they do this to you? He asked me. Why don't you save me each time you see them doing that to me? I asked him too. He told me that he had always been trying to mind his own business but he thought this time around they were out of line. As the conversation went on we arrived home and i moved out of his car but i wouldn't stop my eyes from crying. He moved out of the car and asked me why i was crying and i told him that no one had ever helped me and that he was the first then i thanked him and moved on heading to my hostel. Wait. Is that your hostel, he asked and i said yes. Surprisingly, the next morning he came to pick me up and drop me off at school. I entered the car and thanked him again. He asked me why i kept on thanking him and I told him that it was because he had saved me from malife and his boys. He promised me that they would never do that to me again. Since Clinton was rich he always had all girls attention on him and they noticed that he dropped me off at school. Of course it took seconds when the news got to nana, the girl who loved him. She confronted me immediately she set her eyes on me. I promised her that I would stay away from Clinton. During lunch time as i was walking around the campus i saw Clinton sitted on the school sculpture alone lost in thought. Hi Clinton what are you doing incase you need my help i will be here or you can always tell me, at least that's the least i can do for everything you have done for me, I said to him. Why is it that you girls have to keep running your mouth, he yelled at me. Am sorry, i apologised. Am sorry for yelling at you, he apologised too. He went and picked a seat and gave it to me to sit. How are you. Clinton great me. Am fine. I replied. I asked him what was stressing him and he told me how he always had to pay off someone to do his assignment since he felt like reading was hard for him. I told him that he didn't have to pay someone to do for him his assignments because I would help him to read and do them on his own. He kept on picking me up from my hostel and drops me off to campus. Afterwards we would go sit somewhere and read. It became our everyday routine to read and he started to like it. One day nana who was in love with Clinton confronted me and told me all sorts of abusive words and from no where Clinton showed up and gave her two hundred thousand for her to stop bothering me. He told her how he didn't love her and asked her to backoff if not he would expose her dirty secrets he had searched about her to the media. To me i felt relieved. The next day as i was going to our favourite spot I found Clinton on the phone praising the lady on the phone and afterwards told her how he loved her so much i turned to go away but he had seen me then he hung up on her. He asked me why i was leaving and i told him that i had come to wish him success in tomorrows exams. Are you jealous? He asked Am i? I replied. As usual he dropped me off home. Time for our exams reached we did them and finished them. Luckily my knee was fine and this time i could walk without cratches. One day as i was moving out of my hostel i saw malife and almost died from shock thinking he had come to tease me little did i know he came to apologise for everything he had done to me. I forgave him and we were cool. That very day in the night Clinton came to my hostel and requested me to go with him to check our results since he did not want to do it during day with the other students around. On reaching their as i cross checked i found out that we had passed with me in first class degree and him in second class degree he was so happy that he could stop himself from kissing me. It felt like i was on cloud nine since it was my first kiss and from the man i had fallen in love with. Later he told me that he loved me alot and wanted to be with me forever. I asked him why a very rich man like him would leave other beautiful girls and rich like him just to be with a poor girl like me. All he told me was, love is blind and i prefer peace of mind over looks and money. Clinton became the CEO of his father's company and I was employed as a managing director in the same company since i had passed well in school. Two weeks later, he took me to see his dad, bad enough his mum had passed away long time ago. His father liked me and in front of him he proposed to me. Wedding plans went on and as we went to visit my mother she thanked me for making her the most happiest woman on earth and making her proud of me. She again thanked Clinton for marrying me and bringing so much joy into the family then made him promise to take very good care of me. Indeed love is blind and beautiful. We are now married with two beautiful kids Ishan and pearl.
