Olivia and her two roommates

Olivia could not believe her sight, Emelda was pacing frantically around the room, trying to please lucia. She was like a loyal dog waiting to be beckoned to do the wish of his master.

 Before lucia came back, this same emelda has filled her ears with gossip about her (lucia), she talked down on her at every opportunity, scorned her, warns Olivia about her despicable she is and boasted to Olivia how she deals with her and her nonsense and Olivia was even secretly looking forward to their fight. But this eyesight is not what Olivia bargained for, Emelda was looking like a different person almost bowing to the annoying, dark, slim figure sitting sitting in one corner of the room, she looks almost unbelievable.

' it's already dinner do you want to go downstairs to get your food' emelda asked

' no ' lucia answered after hesitating for some time

' the menu today is beans and plantain' it's really good, can i get your share? Lucia continued picking an imaginary thread in her dress

' this room has been empty without you, I am so glad you are back. Your dress is pretty, what is the name of your sunscreen, where do you get your body cream from ' emelda continued shamelessly.

Olivia gave up, become tired and decided to leave the circus going on in her room she went to change and go downstairs for dinner.

Emelda has changed in a twinkling of an eye like a chameleon, she no longer pay mind to her she no longer remember that she 'queen Olivia ' is still in that room.

The cafeteria is a long white hall, it was especially scanty that afternoon which is normal , because porridge beans is the least favorite food in sky university campus , students treat it as leftovers food made for animals. Fortunately for olivia beans in every form is her go to food in any occasion. She always revered Thursdays when beans is normally cooked in her home and here in this school these 'spoilt brats ' are treating beans with such disrespect.

' Such a waste', Olivia muttered under her breath.

As Olivia dragged herself to the server to get her food. One thing Olivia has noticed about the servers is their reluctance and dismissing atitude they serve student with. They always look at you with disdain if you come to get your food like a hungry begger that constitutes nuisance. With time Olivia noticed that this is not how all the students are treated. There are particular set of students theses servers Serve with all their heart and devotion, they greet them with smile on their face, when they come and serve them generously with the best part of meat and fish. This classism even among the rich is one of the realities Olivia has come term with in sky university, classism among the Rich could be more intense than the one between the rich and the poor, there are levels to this wealth. If you are Rich you just have to be rich enough unless you will be regarded lower in a circle of richer people and trust that hurts than being discriminated as a poor man.

Olivia noticed a mass of this black hair on a head, when she got closer to the servers counter. the deep, bass toned voice was talking to the servers, who in turn was replying cheerfully and excitedly unlike their usual sulky self. Olivia assumed that he must be one of the vip students.

" There is no food again ' one of the server , the youngest among them scowled.

Olivia noticed this particular server hates her for no reason.

' but you just served someone food now ' Olivia was too stunned to speak

" I said there is no more food' she closed the cooler as if Olivia would look inside and see food there, " i just served the last portion"

Then he turned his face, his eyebrows thick and dark, his dark hair full and shiny black , his lips was full and his face was perfectly sculpted. All these Olivia did not take notice of, but only his expression that seems as if he is mocking her and telling her you can't do nothing. Olivia can't explain why his face hold her in fascination, but she brushed the feeling aside because this is not what she came for. Olivia was brought back to the reality by the voice of the server complaining about some certain students that can't keep to the rules or to the time and make a scene whenever the want, the other servers were moping at her as if she committed the highest crime. Olivia already had enough for the day and decided to abandon the whole scene and seek peace somewhere else.

The peaceful environment, the fresh air, the cool breeze and natural landscape stretched before her, all these Serves as free therapy to Olivia who needed a break from everyone and everything. There was also a building facing her, the building is the school library, the school library is Olivia's favorite place in the school, the only place where she can refresh and rejuvenate her mind. Sky university library is one of a kind boosting an excellent collection of books in different discipline, a stunning architecture and beautiful interior, constant electricity and access to Sophiscated digital devices and equipment, it also has a modern computer for indigent students that can't afford one. Olivia get to use devices and software she would never have dreamt of using in her life , she explored book that she didn't know that exists, her favorite are science encyclopedia especially the ones about deep sea exploration and space exploration.

There was a renovation going on in the library so Olivia could not enter today.

The past few days has been rocky for Olivia, ever since the third roommate came back that room has been hell for her. Lucia and emelda sort of have isolated her and made her a loner in that room, they made many side talk of mockery against her, sometimes even directly to her face. Just two days ago lucia asked her to remove her belongings from where she kept it saying that that was originally her space, Olivia was surprised because emelda originally told her that, that was a Free space. Emelda now turned around to lie that she warned Olivia it was Lucia's space. Then They kicked her properties out. 

"What are you thinking about" Olivia was jolted back to reality by that voice, she has lost count of how long she has being sitting there lost in her thought.

" It's nothing", it's the thick haired, handsome boy from the cafeteria earlier on.

" I have been talking to you for quite some time but you didn't respond, you must be in deep thought "

" Don't mind me" Olivia said

" The cafeteria people might be mean but don't allow them get to you" , Olivia nodded in response.

" Anyways i am Williams and you" 

" Olivia" she replied

". Oh Olivia, you look like a fresher" 

" That is because i am a fresher" 

" What department"

" Media and advertising" said Olivia

"Ohh under which faculty" 

" Humanities and communication science"

"Hmmm" , for some reason Olivia was expecting him to say ' oh i knew someone in this department ' maybe because of her experience with emelda.

" What about you" Olivia asked.

" I am in electrical engineering"

" You must hate this school right?, Williams asked as he leans closer to her.

That action of his was so abrupt that Olivia heart skipped a bit, he leaned so close to her that she can feel his warm breath and his hair brushed her skin. Olivia draw back before she answer his question.

" I can't say, because i am not gonna jump into a hasty conclusions, but it has been a bumpy ride so far"

" You have to be tough to survive in this school " Williams said

"I am tough" Olivia answered

" You don't just have to be tough, you have to be very tough , in order to survive you have to be you have to be tough enough, sharp, avoid the wrong clique " 

Olivia was quietly swallowing everything. She cannot comprehend why this strange boy took an unusual interest in her.

" Here " Olivia turned to see him handing her a food pack.

" These server can be cranky at times, just make sure you come and get your food early at all times" Williams said.

" No i can't just take your food like that"

" Don't worry it my portion from the canteen"

" What are you going to eat, no i can't just take your food "

" Not to brag but i can do without the cafeteria food, i don't need it, i will be fine " 

Olivia was speechless as he handed her over the food pack.

" See ya " Williams said walking away and waving at her at the same time.

Olivia was confused but at the same time grateful for this strange boy, that took interest in her and brought her food. Olivia opened the food and to her utmost surprise it was the VIP package, the one that was exclusively for top students
