She followed till they got to the rooftop where a small pink cake is sitting on a table with an expensive ÇOçktail.
“Cake?” She said surprisingly.
“Yes, it’s called good luck cake, eat from it and you’ll do excellently well in your presentation, let’s eat it together Dahlia” he smiled.
“Together?” She asked, looking at him.
“Yes, you don’t want to?, It’s fine if you….
“You brought me this far, I can’t refuse” she interrupted and he smiled.
“Thanks Dahlia” he said and picked the knife beside it.
He cut the cake and placed it on a plate, then he raised the plate and brought the cake to her lips.
“I can eat it by myself”
“Please, just humor me and eat from my hand” he replied and she smiled lightly before opening her mouth.
She took a bite from it, and he ate the rest immediately.
“Say happy birthday” he said and her eyes widened.
“Today is your birthday?”
“Yes”
“Then you should celebrate with your …
“Family?, I have none” he interrupted and she went silent.
“You know Doctor Claudia George, right?”
“Who won’t know that rich, popular medical practitioner, but it’s a pity she passed away early this year, her husband passed away last year too, heard her only son attends this school but I don’t know him” she replied.
“It’s me” he said and her eyes widened.
“Ronaldo George?”
“Yes, I’ve always wanted to celebrate my birthday with someone, even when they were still alive, they had no time to stay at home, not to talk of remembering my birthday” he said and she continued staring at him.
“Don’t look at me that way, I’m not asking for pity” he smiled.
“Sorry, but… it’s surprising” she replied.
“Thanks for eating my cake with me” he said.
“Happy birthday… Ronaldo” she smiled and he returned it before pouring her a drink from the wine bottle.
She drank from it and he drank the remaining one.
“But…you don’t have any friends?” She asked
“I’ve always lived a lonely life, I h@të associating, you’re the first person I spoke to in our major” he replied and she smiled.
“It’s funny”
“I know” he sighed.
“What are you presenting on?” She asked.
“The spinal cord, you?” He asked.
“The cërvjx” she replied and he checked the time.
“It’s almost time, let’s go” he said and they left the rooftop together.

FIRST YEAR ENGLISH LH**
Ixora was coming back from the library when she came across Eve.
Since she locked her in a restroom in Florida, she has never spoken to her, they’ve never bumped into each other too.
She made to walk past her but she grabbed her.
“Ixora..
“Why did you do it?, Did Wendy force you to do anything?, Tell me now” she interrupted.
“No one forced me” she replied and Ixora smirked.
“Really?”
“Yes, so get away” Eve snapped and took her hand roughly.
“I know you’re a maid for the Holland family” Ixora said and Eve stopped with wide eyes.
“I know you’ve been deceiving me, right from the day we became friends, I know you don’t have a category” Ixora continued.
“Ixora..
“I was waiting for you to tell me by yourself, but you didn’t, instead of doing that, you decided to be a puppy to Wendy, I’m so disappointed Eve” Ixora said flatly and Eve started crying.
“I’m… really disappointed” Ixora said and walked away.
Eve rushed to her and held her arm.
“I’m so sorry, I’m….
“The picture of November and president Newton at my sleepover that night, you snapped it, right?, I know you’re obsessed with Newton too but come on, that’s too petty to do, what else did you do?, Who else did you hurt while acting like a saint?, Who else!” Ixora shouted.
“Ixora I’m sorry….I was just scared and….
“Damm your fears!, What’s so bad about being a f*cking maid!” Ixora snapped.
“I’m so sorry…
“Reflect over yourself properly, then come back to face me” Ixora said and left her standing.
Eve squatted and continued crying bitterly.
She brought out the flashdrive and wrapped her palms on it.
*POST IT ON THE SCHOOL WEB WHENEVER I TELL YOU TO*
She remembered Bora’s text and cried harder.

MEDICAL STUDENTS HALL**
The presentation is already ongoing.
November felt her palms becoming sweaty as she watched those who are presenting with confidence.
She has been preparing for this with Newton since Florida, And she didn’t even sleep last night cos of reading, she spent half of yesterday in the library with the girls too, reading.
Her preparations should make her bold but she strangely started feeling scared.
Her body shook on her seat till someone held her hand.
She quickly turned her neck, only to see Newton sitting beside her.
“Silver” she whispered.
He started caressing her hands secretly.
“Don’t be scared, you prepared a lot for this, please don’t be scared” he whispered back with an assuring smile.
“Can I really do it?, I’m so scared right now” she replied.
“Trust me and say you can do it” he replied.
“I can do it” she said and he smiled before kissing her hands secretly.
“I love you, be good ok?” He said and she nodded.
He left secretly, just the way he came.
That kind of built up her lost confidence.
Ricardo came on stage next, he’s the first to present among The Emperors.
“Hi doctor…
“Hi?” Doctor Roland said through his microphone.
“Hey doctor” Ricardo said again.
“Hey?” Doctor Roland said.
“What’s up doctor…
“Ricardo!” Doctor Roland shouted.
Ricardo scoffed.
“This is an official presentation, behave like everyone else!” Doctor Roland said.
“Dude, calm down” Ricardo said and doctor Roland fell on his seat shockingly.
“Dude?”
“He’s back to his old self” Dahlia mumbled.
“Exactly, this is how he used to behave before November came, rude and arrogant, egoistic” Monique replied.
“That jerk” Keaton muttered.
“Y’all know my name, and I’m presenting on the kidney” Ricardo continued talking, putting on the projector.
Throughout his presentation, he didn’t smile.
He remained blunt but students kept clapping cos every point he made, makes too much sense.
He didn’t bother to bow like the others before leaving the stage.
“What’s up with him?, I thought he changed” Doctor Roland muttered worriedly.
Newton came to present next, and November felt proud of him throughout.
He’s almost at the same level as Ricardo but…. Maybe Ricardo is obviously more brilliant.
Francisco came next, and even his simple elaboration swept doctor Roland off his feet, he’s really next after Ricardo.
Kennedy came in next.
“Goodmorning doctor Roland!, I love you more than your girlfriend I swear!” He said loudly and everyone laughed.
“Mad boyfriend” Esme smiled.
“I have a wife, not a girlfriend” doctor Roland mouthed, rolling his eyes.
“Oh I love you more than your wife Dr!, Kisses!” Kennedy replied and blew him kisses.
Everyone laughed again.
“What the f*ck is he doing” November laughed.
“Start already, or you’re losing two marks!” Doctor Roland said.
“Ok doctor, I’m Kennedy Killarney by the way, popularly known as…
? KK!!!, the sweetheart of all the girls in this college!!!!
Everyone chorused in reply.
Esmeralda smirked.
“I’m a great lover of pu$$y, I’m obsessed and I can die for it” Kennedy continued.
Everyone laughed.
“I’m having headache” doctor Roland held his forehead in frustration.
“This guy” Francisco laughed.
“Bastard, what’s he even presenting on?” Newton laughed too.
“The V@?i?@” Francisco replied and Newton gasped.
“What the f*ck”
“And luckily, I’m presenting on my favorite topic, The V@?i?@” Kennedy continued.
? Whoa!!!!
“Firstly, if you’re a guy and you haven’t licked the V@?i?@ before, raise up your hand” he said.
“Oh no” Newton fell on the chair as he laughed
Francisco fell on him.
Everyone started laughing.
“Kennedy Killarney, get out of this hall right now!” doctor Roland stood.
“My Kenny is so mad” Esmeralda laughed.
“But I just started presenting” Kennedy said with an innocent look.
Doctor Roland took off his right shoe.
“Get out!!!’ he shouted, flinging the shoe at Kennedy.
