Amaal pov

"You got just a week to pay your fees " I sat up stratled , even in my dreams  those words were hunting me . Yesterday after coming from the college , I had fallen asleep while thinking about it .to my luck mom was not present at home as she would have bombarded me with lots of questions on how did I got those bruises and why do I look so glum and sad if she was present .

" How am I even going to pay " I Buried my face in my palm , there was no way that I could pay such a large sum and that aswell in a week " I think I should give up , there is no way that I can pay . Even it's better if I drop out because that monster cant--" thinking about the monster, something flashed my mind " shit " I cursed when I remember of slapping him and telling him that I wasn't scared of it anymore and even myself told him to share it " oh shit " I face palmed mentally . It was all because of the rush of adrenaline that I reacted that was, it was all on a go of angry and frustration .

" What should I do , I really don't want him to tell that to anyone" I cursed myself for not having control over my mouth " shit ,he must have posted it and now all the students would know about it, shit " I hurriedly took my backpack and phone from the table and scooted out . My fingers scrolled on the screen to dail alyan number .

I wanted to make a deal with him again of keeping it a secret by saying I would be his servant for 18/7 " please pick up the call alyan " I nibbled my lips in anxious while waiting for him to pick the call to see the call being declined .

" I contect him ASAP " I ran as my life depended on it and made it to the bus station .

...
I looked around in the college to see students doing their own work , no one was giving me that judging Gaze that they used to give to anyone when the Tnews had story about them to say on the social site. They were all busy in their own world .

' I guess alyan didn't shared it yet '  I mentally noted and moved to the cafeteria to find him to see no sign of him ,I even went the play ground and basket ball court to find him to see no sign of him .

" Where did this guy disappeared? , Did earth swallowed him up or sky eat him " while I was wondering on where did he go, peon marco suddenly halted beside me .

" O amaal , thank god I got you here , I was about to tell the school manage staff to call you" he said with his heart warming smile .

" Is it about the fees ?" I asked while fidgeting with strip of my bag , I knew it was again to ask about when I would pay the fees .

I walked into the principal office to see principal Alan in a good mood " come amaal ,take a seat " he said while denoting at the chair . His cheerful mood really left me doubting .

Before he could say anything, I thought of speaking first" Principal Alan could you please extend me more days "

" That's the reason I have called you " He said while showing a white-yellowish set of teeths" you're really lucky amaal, after loosing your scholarship yesterday, your name was black listed and someone had come all along to donate Their money and take a student under their scholarship and for your luck they choosed you because of your previous class scoring   " stupified would be word to describe as I was left flabbergasted , i couldn't believe at what I was hearing .

" Really?"I asked again to confirm and he nodded , the excitement was much that I couldn't hold myself from brusting into tears ." Thank you thank you so much principal Alan "

"Don't thank me , thank the one who gave you the scholarship  "  he was beaming with happiness as I knew they must have paid him the donation as he was super happy .

" Can I know their name or something ?" I asked regarding their contact to call them and show my gratitude of appreciation  .

" They didn't say anything more about themselves, it was some foundation that donated a scholarship to you I guess "

"Okey , thank you once again principal Alan "

" You can go now and attend the classes" he said with that so fakey not dropping smile .

"Thank you again" I couldn't stop myself from thanking him so much ,even tho I knew he wouldn't have done anything ,it was may be allah help and answer to my prayer. I didn't know whether I was lucky that I was saved up at end moment or unlucky that I always landed in troubles .

"Alyan didn't reply my texts , even he left me on seen "the girl who passed by me mumbled to her friend while dramatically pouting her lips ."I even tried to call him ,but he is ignoring me"

'Alyan '

" Shit I forgot about him " I immediately stood up and walked out the campus to look for him .

After wondering around and looking at every place of the building ,I couldn't find him ,even I tried to call him but he was not picking up my calls .

"I really feel sick " I stood at the side of the corridor, I was too tried after searching for him around the building ." Where did he go ?" I wondered where this man had disappeared and why aren't he was picking up my calls .

'something was really odd'
