COUNSELOR’S OFFICE ★ ★**
Ava and Freya were already at the counselor’s office.
He was counselling Ava, and advising her also on the course to choose.
One that she would be capable of studying.
The counselor advised her on some many things.
“Thank you,sir” Ava said respectfully after she had listened to the counsellor very attentively.
After that,Ava did her clearance and registration,was also given list of courses.

“Okay,so here are the science and practical laps” Freya said as she began showing Ava places.
“Our department and class. Oh,come here,this is where I sit” she said,pointing at her seat.
“Cool” Ava smiled and said.
Freya is studying Animal Science, and that’s the course Ava chose too.
“I know right. We don’t have any classes today,you would have sat next to me” Freya excitedly said.
“Let’s go,you have a lot more to see” she said pulling Ava by the hand.

“Dark zone! This is the last place you ever wanna come to,especially at night”
“People get k!lled by some gangsters in that place almost everyday,including rapes” she told Ava.
Ava crossed her hands over her b*obs,as she stood to look and listen to Freya.
They were even some students inside the place,smoking and having s*x.
“Ewww! So disgusting,no shame” Ava said,irritatedly as the guy continued to bang the girl hard.
“Why does it look dusky even though it’s day time? Ava asked.
“It’s always like that even in the day,it gets darker at night.
“That’s where most gangsters have their night clubs,rape and k!ll people” Freya explained.
“Hmmm” Ava hummed.
“Let’s get outta here” she said,taking her hand.

“This is the school dance studio” Freya said as they got to the beautiful and large dance hall.
“They also host concerts here,there’s a big one coming up soon” she excitedly said.
“Wow! This is extremely beautiful” she gushed.
“You can say that again, Freya smiled.
Some dancers were already in,while some were still entering.
Jaxon and Leo walked in too,not long.
Ava was still admiring the hall when she suddenly bumped into Jaxon.
She and Freya were about leaving the hall,cos they sighted Carla and her gang,which means trouble.
Since they didn’t want any of their troubles,they chose to leave,but bumped on Jaxon and Leo.
Ava’s face hit Jaxon’s chest,she gasped and raised her head to look at who she bumped into.
There he stood,staring deep into her eyes.
“Do you need glasses? Cos I will gladly buy dozens of them for you” Jaxon jibed and rolled eyes.
The students in there started laughing,making Ava to look stup!d.
He pushed her aside as he proceeds to call his dancers.
“So sorry,Ava. This is what happens everyday. Bristol University is for the highs and mightiest”
“Just don’t let them know your weakness” Freya said.
But Ava was already shedding tears. That’s her weakness she just can’t hide.
“Stop crying and let’s go” Freya said.
They started walking out of the dance Hall,but were blocked by Carla and her gang.
“Did your filthy body just touch my Jaxon? Ivy questioned.
“Gosh! I need to get him a strong perfume” she said.
“What are you both even doing in this hall,this place is for classy people,not dirty rats like you” Isla said,referring to Ava and Freya.
“Wow! She changed into something else,quite cute.
“Except that you still look stup!d and will never fit in. Now leave” Carla thundered.
“Next time you see him,just fly in the air,don’t even go close to him. I won’t be this nice next time” Ivy said.
“f_ck off,losers” Harper said as they all walked away.
Ava ran off,heading back to the hostel.
“Ava,wait!” Freya said and ran after her.
Ava was already out of sight,as Freya didn’t see her around anywhere.
Ava never stopped running until she got the hostel.
She went in immediately to look for Olivia. She was fortunate to find her in her bunk,reading a novel.
“Ava,you’re back” she sat up to look at Ava.
“Wait, you’re crying. What happened? She questions.
“Can I have my clothes,please? Ava asked,ignoring Olivia’s question.
As if Olivia understood Ava quite well, she didn’t ask anymore questions, but brought her clothes instead.
“Thanks” she said and got into the bathroom.
She quickly changed back to her own clothes and heads back.
She handed over Olivia’s clothes to her.
“No,keep them. They’re all yours now” Olivia said.
Ava smiled shortly.
“Thank you” she simply said and started walking away.
“See you tomorrow, Olivia. Thanks for everything” she turned back to say thank you.
After that, she left the hostel,but met Freya half way.
“Are you going home,already? Freya asked.
“Yes, Freya. I have had enough for one day,besides it’s evening already. I should be heading home” she forced a smile.
“Thanks for everything, Freya. I don’t know how my day would have been like if not for you.
“I would have probably given up already, this school is indeed for the highs and mightiest” Ava said as a tear dropped down her cheek.
Freya hugged her.
“You’re welcome, baby. Be safe okay,try and get home before dark” she said.
“I will, thank you” she sniffed.
“Bye,see you tomorrow.
“We’re having two classes by 10Am and 7Pm tomorrow,can’t wait to see you.
“And they’ll be having a little dance show,tomorrow. You won’t wanna miss it” Freya smiled.
“I won’t miss it” Ava smiled.
“Bye” Freya hugged her.
“Bye,Freya. Thanks again.
******
Ava was trekking home,cos she had no money on her and it was already getting dark.
She was half way away from school, when she started hearing footsteps.
She looked back but saw no one.
She continued walking, till she heard the footsteps again, but they were faster this time.
Ava increased her pace and began walking faster.
“Stop right there! A masculine voice thundered behind her.
