SAVE ME

Chapter 18

Morgan Smith

It's exam week and it has been so stressful for us all, we couldn't take this morning's exam because our lecturer was sick and she had the questions with her so it was postponed for another day.

Ricardo told me earlier that he wouldn't be able to take me home because of some work he had to attend to so I am on my way to meet with Ann at Gale's Hall so that we can go home together.

I heard my phone beep and I took it out of my pocket, it was a message notification and I thought it was from Ricardo so I opened the messaging app and checked the message that just came in to see that it wasn't from Ricardo, rather it was from a private number and the message read 'Be safe'

I frowned and wondered who it was. Who would text me with a private number? There isn't anyone who has my number aside from Ann, Ricardo, Amelia, Richard, George, Mrs. Addison, and her husband, then Richard too. I have a small circle and am not the kind of person to just give my number to anyone I don't know.

I am thinking it might be a scammer. I have heard in the past about how some of the scammers will go to an extent of getting their prey. I am just going to tell Richard since he is an IT guru.

I left the class after my second paper and went straight to the cafeteria, we can't leave for Olah because of exams, We don't want to go through that stress of going to eat outside and then rushing back in to meet up with time.

When I got to the cafeteria, I spotted Amelia sitting with George and Richard and I was kind of surprised to see him there since he is always with Ricardo when they need to head for the office.

"Hello Morgan" George greets me when I came closer to their table I smiled and then waved at them all.

"Hi" I greet them back then sat down beside Richard.

"How was the exam?" I heard Amelia ask when I brought out the toast, mayonnaise, bacon, and ham Ann packed for me before she left for work.

"It was great and easy" I replied.

Amelia took a toast then put two slices of bacon on top, spread some mayonnaise put another toast, put a slice of ham, added some more mayonnaise and lastly put another toast on top.

"Ready to eat," she said then took a larger bite from it "Ann, right?" she asked when she chewed and swallowed the food in her mouth.

I nod my head in response and she continued eating. We all are pretty much used to how she eats, she just needs to know how to eat ladylike in public.

"Richard, you didn't go with Ricardo?" I turned to him as I asked and he shook his head.

"No, I still have more papers today and he said that he can handle things over there and I should just concentrate on the exams" he shrugged and I nod.

"Okay" I brought out my note so we can all revise on our next exam.

...

After we were done with our exams for the day, we all met at the parking lot. George took Amelia home, Richard offered to take me home but I declined and said I wanted to get to Gale's Hall to meet Ann then we can come home together but he insisted on taking me to the nearest bus stop which I accepted.

When we entered his car, he started driving towards the bus stop leading to Gale's Hall and along the ride, we talked about just anything and cracked jokes, Ricardo also called to check on us both and updated us on what was happening in the office before he excused himself because of a meeting he was having that moment.
