Standing from my locker I could see his glaring, it wasn't the glare of hatred or rage rather of sadness and fear.

He had stood at the front of the door watching me, I had wondered what he was thinking while staring at me he finally decided to walk pass my locker, and all I could do was to start searching for an anonymous object in my locker I just needed him to walk pass me then I would hide my way to class. I could hear the whispers from all angles of the hall-way, everybody was either talking or pointing at me or maybe doing both, but nevertheless everybody just had something to say about my failed relationship with D.H.U hottest jock.You know that story of the crazy nerd that falls in love with the hottest jock in school and they live happily ever after, yes, that was me at some point in time at D.H.U, but unlike your normal sweet story mine ended before it could even begin and I shattered it myself with my own hands.

Nini, yes that was his name, he was a tall, handsome, well body-built guy, he had very dark hair and, he was dark in complexion, he had pink lips and a set of white teeth that shined brightly everytime he smiled. He studied software engineering and was in his second year, he was very good at school buh was always nonchalant, he only came to school with his friends to eat and play games and most especially sleep. He didn't live in the schools accommodation for students buh lived off campus with his friends. He was always very quiet and reserved so people thought he was rude rather he counted his words daily. His style and habits were very unique from most guys at the school, he always wore a hoddie to school and sneakers and was always seen chewing gum, he was always seen sleeping at every time and moment he got, in class, at the computer lab, at the cafeteria and most especially the library, the library was the place people saw him more because it was quiet and nobody cared what he was doing. His routine was always the same daily if he wasn't sleeping he was playing games but if he wasn't playing games he was sleeping and he was always covered in his hoddie.

Unlike the quiet and reserved but yet smart Nini, I was the opposite, I was loud and mostly crazy, I was very cheerful and always had something to say in every conversation and I smiled in every situation which made my parents think I would study law buh rather I choose to study computer science because I hated staying in school for long. My family had moved for some personal reasons but mostly because of safety and well I was also very good at school, it was easy for me to get transferred into the ivy league "DREAM HIGH UNIVERSITY" (D.H.U) after staying home schooled for almost 3 years.

************

I had met Nini at the S.A.O office where I was getting a briefing of some important affairs of the school. My parents had dropped me off at the schools hostel, they helped me.carry all my luggage to the room that morning and helped me set my bed but I was in a hurry to get all my documents in its right place before thinking of settling in the hostel. I waved my parents good bye and set out to the main building administration block to get all the proper information.

The S.A.O was a nice,elegant and well-mannered woman. It was obvious that she was married because of the ring in her hand and the loads of pictures of her family around her office and one close to the name tag that said

"STUDENTS AFFAIRS OFFICER"

"MRS CYNTHIA.O.LEIGH"

Unlike her secretary at the front desk,she smiled at me looking so bright and elegant in her black skirt and a red blouse that fit her fair complexion and the heels that gave her a unique height, the make-up on her face made her look extra beautiful. When I knocked the door of her office as directed by her secretary I heard her sweet-soft voice for the first time and as I stepped into the office I could only but wonder if she was an angel.

"come in", as I walked into the office in my Jean trousers and a black t-shirt and my sneakers and a not so large back-pack, I stared at her from head to toes and wondered why she looked so beautiful and her face was so smooth, so immersed in my thoughts, I heard my name ring loudly

"Miss Ruby"

"oh yes" I immediately came back to reality

"have a seat" she softly responded

"thank you" I replied as I drew the soft but wooden chair in her office and had a seat.

The conversation was quiet easy and simple, she asked me very interesting questions about myself and that of my family in which I had very solid and quick answers to the only thing I could not say was why I was entering university after three long years of graduating high-school and took classes from home . As she talked about the important rules I needed to note, I had a recap of my life I recalled how many grades I skipped being the smartest in the class. Because of that I graduated high school at the age of 16 not 19 but because of an health issue I had to stay back I was enrolled into a home setting university program by my dad so as not to get brain-drained from sitting home daily . As I thought wide of my three years at home and at the hospital the speech Mrs Cynthia was giving wasn't clearly clicking-in. I could hear her but her voice was daze and all I did was stare and nod at places i felt it was necessary,suddenly a sharp knock on the door got my mind back and I blinked twice as if I was asleep the whole time.

"come in" Mrs Cynthia commanded as if she was expecting someone.

I turned my head to look at who was coming in and I saw a male-like angel walk into the office. He wore a black hoddie and I could get a glimpse of his lips moving cause of the gum he was chewing as slow as possible. Turned out Nini's quietness had him lack interactions with other students and lecturers at school other than his friends and he didn't join any extra-curricular he only slept daily and attended class when needed. It was a rule at D.H.U that all students had to join one extra-curricular in other to improve their C.V in the nearest future

"Great timing Mr Nini have a seat" Mrs Cynthia said to the angel-like being, he walked towards the seat and sat down, he let down his hoddie and all I could hear was the angels blowing the trumpet in my ears as I stared closely at him, I stared more and all I could wonder was if only angel-like people were allowed into this school but then I remembered Mrs Cynthia rude as hell secretary. He sat down and looked at me staring at him, I immediately looked forward at Mrs Cynthia and gulped a little then put my back at the seat

"Excuse me for a moment I have a pending discussion with this young man" Mrs Cynthia said to me and I nodded in assurance

"Well, Mr Nini you didn't join the robotics club or the masters at coding club" she said as she looked at a file and then at Nini

"Well, Mrs Cynthia, they said they didn't need new members" he replied staring right back at her

"And what about the student volunteer club"

"Well,am not very keen with free service"

"Well you have to join a club or you volunteer yourself"

"Doesnt being a good student count"

"No it doesn't, you to at least interact with both students and lecturers"

"Am sure you know that am not the interacting type and besides I already interact with my friends Luke, Andy, Kayle, so what other interactions is needed"

"The students volunteer needs a member and you are joining"

"i thought you are to recommend a memeber not force a member"

"Well, Mr Nini you will be forcely added because you have no choice if you want to get to your third year"

"Wait, I have to joining a club to get to my third year I don't think fair"

"You escaped it in your first year doesn't mean you could do the same now, either you join the students volunteer club or you probate another year, and mind you they have regular meetings and you have to attend regularly"

Nini sighed buh not of relief but of annoyance and anger

"Fine Mrs Cynthia I'll join"

"Great, as an official memeber your first assignement is to take this young lady around the school and make sure she gets to meet all of her lectures and she gets abreast with the schools surrounding"

Nini stared at me with annoyance but we both knew that he had no other choice

"Alright fine" he said to Mrs Cynthia with a frustrated look in his face and suddenly turned to mi

"Hey you let's go" with a commanding tone looking straight at me

"Oh and lest I forget Nini you have to do this yourself because I would be getting proper feedback from her and the president of the student volunteer club and also she is also transferring to your year so she needs proper tutoring for some of the first year courses she would be retaking as a smart student that you are and a member of the volunteer club you are also issued the responsibility of giving her tutoring" she said this command with a smile on her face while staring straight at Nini

"Isn't that wonderful" Nini replied in a sarcastic voice.

He got up from the chair and walked out of the office, Mrs cynthia looked at me and gave me a signal that said go with him, I thanked her for the other notes she gave me and left the office following Nini behind.
