Walking past the front accommodation Ann meets a group of boys standing at
parrade ground having an argument, they called Ann to ask her questions about the subject on board. "Are girls easily impressed with money" the tallest guy asked her, "not all girls " Ann responded to him. She proceeds, few steps away from the front accommodation, a guy approached her , "Hi , I'm Samuel what about you" , I'm Ann she replied him. Samuel looked so gentle and also friendly. "Can I be your escort this evening" Samuel asked Her. Ann felt safe and also happy to have someone walking with that evening since she was all by herself. Samuel took her to the cafeteria for snacks and walked her back to her room, both exchanged contact. Samuel promised to call her. She wakes up the next morning and starts her normal routine, praying, sweeping her room, bathing then get's ready for lectures."Hi" she received a text from a strange number on texting back it happened to be Samuel whom she met the previous night. It was finally time for lectures and Ivy was already waiting for her in the hallway , Ann rushed out to meet her friend so they could go to class.on thier way to the department they met Samuel ,Ann and Samuel smile at each other and pass by. "The day is so long and the lecture is very boring too" Ivy whispererd to Ann who also whished the lecture ends early so she can return to her room for a rest."we'll continue from where we ended the next time I come here" the lecturere told the class, both girls where glad and hurried to their room. After waking up from a nap Ann recieved a call from Samuel inviting her for a mid-week service. She accepted to join him. After service Samuel suggested they go on a walk. They walked along the pavement and curved to the administration block, from there they walked to the school garden to spend some time together. "I feel happy been around you Ann" Samuel said, "I feel safe too" Ann replied. "What do you do at your leisure time" he asked Ann, "I normally read and sometimes I watch YouTube videos " she replied." For me I play video games or hung out with the boys "Samuel said. It was 8pm and everywhere was dark so they had to leave the school garden. On thier way back to the back accommodation,they chose to use the footpath instead of the main road because it was a short cut to thier destination. Almost a the accommodation she felt a sting at her toes " I think I have been bitten by as inscect or something, it's hurts so much" Ann said in a shaking voice, Samuel turned on the touch on his phone to check what it was, to his surprise it was a scorpion, he killed it and assisted her to sit on a nearby bench, he called Osborn the infermarian to ask to if the school doctor is around. Osborn told him to come with Ann to school doctor's apartment and from there they will rush to the sickbay. On reaching the school doctor's apartment, she felt very week and tiered as the pain increased. While waiting for the doctor to come out, two other boys from the front accommodation followed Osborn to verify what was going on, the distance between the doctor's apartment and the sickbay is a bit far, at that point too she couldn't walk, the boys compelled Samuel to carry her to the sickbay. Samuel carried her on his back, despite the pain she was going through she kept staring at Samuel and feeling his soft dark skin. The school doctor gave her two injections on her leg to releave her of the pain, the doctor gave her some drugs to take at the moment and also some to keep for the next day. After the treatment Samuel carried her on his back and walk slowly towards the back accommodation. He kept on comforting her while they were going, He asked her to sit on a bench and wait for him, he rashed to his room at the front accommodation and came back with a minty ointment along. "Put your leg on my laps "Samuel said.He begun to apply the ointment on the part the scorpion stinged ,As he applied the ointment on her leg she couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort and safety in his touch. "I'll always be here for you to take care of you no matter what. You deserve nothing but the best and I'm going to make sure you get it ". He spoke with a softness in his voice that she had never heard before. Every word he said was filled with love and tenderness, and she felt her heart swell with affection for him. As their eyes met, time seemed to stand still. They both knew in that moment that they were meant to be together. Both look away as they heard foot steps approaching. "Goodnight Ann " he said to her as she entered her room. There was angry Alexander waiting for her,"I've been searching for you all over, where have you been Ann," Alexander said in disappointment. Ann explained all that happened to her and her encounter with Samuel to her roommie."Sorry about that Ann, I got you a gift from home" Alexander exclaimed and passed on a box to her ,when she opened the box it was a very expensive DIOR bag which she had never owned one the whole of her life. Alexander was from a very family, her dad was a business tycoon and her mom was a famous TV presenter in her country. Ann shows gratitude to her only roommie for the gift. The following morning,Ann finished taking and descided to watch some videos because she can't go for lectures in her condition. There was a nock at the door and Alexander attended to the door. " It's a boy at the door, he wants to see you" Alexander shouted, "let him come inside"Ann suggested. It was Samuel, he had come to check up on her and brought her breakfast,"I'm very sorry about what happened to you yesterday night, I insisted we should go on a walk" He apologized to her . "It's not your fault dear I'm getting better now"Ann urged him. Latter in the day Ivy came to check up on her. Ivy came to gist her about what happened in class in her apsensce, Alexander also join the conversation. In the middle of the chat someone nocked on the door and it turned out to be Samuel, he had come to visit Ann with lunch and some ice cream, Ann introduced Samuel to her friends. After the introduction he said he had to go and left.
