Chapter 1
notes i didn't get to write mine
and i thought since you had Dan
write them for you we could
share."
I watched us the girl seated
infront of me in the lecture room
anxiously talk to the snobbish
looking girl seated beside her
since the lesson was simply
boring me to death and i needed
some drama.
"well you thought wrong Angel
am not sharing my notes with you
smart ass." she snarled.
"B...but i always let you borrow
my answers."
me stupid? FYI i can get my
assignments done without your
help."The cindy girl rudely
replied to the now confused and
scared girl.
"I..i didn't mean it like that."
"i don't care just don't speak
to me you loser . "cindy said
embarrassing the girl us her other
bitchy friends filled the class with
their irritating laughter.
"hey you can have mine am not
using them at the moment."i
intervened offering her my
communications notebook.
She looked back at me almost in
disbelief as i outstretched my
hand handing her my book with a genuinne polite smile not my
fake one which seemed to appear
every time i talked to people i just
felt close to her.
she gave me a once look before
she went down to writing the
notes.
"what?" i snapped to the cindy
girl wheni found her glaring at
me but she knew better than to
surpass my don't fuck with me
face.
I was once told if looks could kill i
would be a serial killer.
"have a fantastic day students."the
tiresome professor said as he
got out of the hall Not sparing
us a glance and the students not
wasting another minute in the lecture hall they all scrumbled out
and i was definitely one of them.
"hey excuse me Elsa"i heard
someone call out my name as i
rushed out
"oh you."i said recognizing the
girl i gave my book.
"i wanted to return your
book."she said confidently this
time not stuttering like in class.
"oh yeah i had even forgotten
"i said taking the book from her
since she didn't seem like she was
going to hand it soon and i wasn't
in for a chit chat.
"your money ."she said handing
me five thousand kenyan money.
I just stared at her outstretched
"you know what I'ma pretend
am not offended and tell you
that normal people say thankyou
and it's not always about the
money some things are done
with kindness girl."i said walking
away from her.
"hey wait elsa Am sorry i didn't
mean to be rude please here me
out."she said sincerely as she run
in her six inch shoes trying to
catch up with me.
"what?i said turning back to her
making her stop abruptly almost
tripping on her skyscraper shoes.
"thankyou elsa.., thankyou for
lending me you book I c."
ahead "your welcome miss.?"
"it's Angel."she introduced
herself I almost didn't catch it
already walking away since my
stomach was already growling for
food.
"elsa wait. "oh my god why did
i even lend her my book i can't
scrup her off.
"to show that am really sorry can
i invite you for lunch."
She asked a glimmer of hope on
her face well i won't turn dowm
this one.
"lunch sounds great."i told her as
the smile on her face grew wider.
"you'll love this place."she said
drugging me along.
down but i didn't know it would
find me this soon i bet my orbs
grew wider and wider in every
step i took in the grand vila rosa
kempinski hotel it was beautiful,
magnificent and most of all it
spelt money it was those kind of
hotels you make reservations for
months before i actually though
it was a joke until i saw people
being turned down . Angela just
mentioned her last name and a
table was magically available for
Us.
Everything was so elegant the
made me feel under dressed with
there uniforms and the guests
didn't let it go some of them even
went ahead to stare at me,humans
so judgmental.
My baggy blue jeans and yellow
off shoulder made me look cute
with my five foot height.
sorry i wasn't planning on
coming for lunch in a five star
hotel.
after leading us to our table
another waiter brought our
menu's a strained smile on him
i bet his mouth hurt with all the
smiling.
leaving us in awkward silence
before Angel decided to break it.
"so you study at strathmore
University."
"obviously "i answered but it
the worry in her face she's so
sentimental.
i didn't mean to..i was just
trying to make conversation."she
sighted
"am sorry Angel i didn't mean to
sound rude."
"it's fine"she shrugged
"soo what was all that about?,back
in class"
misunderstanding with my
friend but we are cool now."
"it didn't seem cool to me they
were practically bullying you"
"No it's nothing like that cindy was
just mad she failed the exams."
and you passed "i stated but she
didn't seem to fancy it.
"cindy is my friend i should have
helped her with the test she said
guiltily
"you mean done it for her i don't
see how that makes her a friend
she is just exploiting you and you
are letting her."
"But i..
friendship works." i said
"so what do you major in" iasked
trying to keep the conversation
going.
"Umm mechanical
engineering."she said looking
at me as if searching for some
assurance.
"wow smart."
"and you"
"am a law student."i said proud of
myself i love law.
"You seem to like it alot by how
you speak."
"i do it's so interesting the best
thing ever."
"i do"'she said excitement lighting
her face.
"I love it ,it's my everything."she
added but seemed to be into
something else.
"enough about school so where
do you stay at."
"school hostels but am thinking
of moving out i can't stand living
with all those people the dormns
are really congested but it was
the best option for me in my first
semister since i was new in town
"i said as the waiters brought our
food
"have you found a place yet?"
taking another bite of the overly
delicious delicacy.
"umm can i ask you something?"
"sure?"
"would you mind living with
me."i could sense the nervousness
in her voice.
"uum and why would i do that?"
"well you said you were looking
for a place to move in."
"yeah i want my own space."i
clarified to her.
"W.well you won't have to see
me if you don't want to the house
is that big and i just wanted
someone there with me."

"i don't have to know you Elsa it's
enough that you make me feel
