     Uncle, don't forget to use your drug and eat, I prepared your favourite(Rice with Vegetables). I have to be on my way now because the lecture is gonna start by eight o clock and I don't want to be late for it. Okay son, do quick and be on your way( Uncle Keyton replied).

     Samliz! Samliz! Samliz! I am waiting for you outside, Michael called out loud.  Samson, is that not Michael calling you and why is he calling you samliz or has another girl fallen into your love trap again. Uncle,don't worry about that, just make sure you use your drugs and eat well so that you can have enough energy to play chess in the evening. Okay son, safe journey.( Samson scurried out of the house and saw Michael at a distance).

     Michael, how many times have I warned your dumb ass never to call me that nickname again, my real nickname is Samsat. I'm sorry bro but it is clear that this girl loves you more than normal out of all the guys in the Lobito mandem( the trouble makers of the school); Michael replied. See, it is better you stop all these nonsense and let's go, time is going and you know Dr Mendy will never allow us in if we get late to his class( they both walked faster towards the bus stop). Michael still asked " Do you know next tomorrow is Lizzy's Birthday? ". Excuse me bro, can you just shut the fuck up pending the time we will get to school, I have more important things I really want to do with my life rather than indulging myself in some stinking expensive shits of no worth( Samson added). Ouchh, that is too harsh bro, Michael reacted.

     ( They later got to school after one hour).
     Samson  walked into the school with his rough hair and thuggery dressing( he has been known for that). As he was about to enter the class, Lizzy also want to get out of the same class through the same door, due to this , there was a simultaneous contact between both of them causing Lizzy to fall down. The lecture room turned into an emotional atmosphere as Samson ran towards her, help her up after giving out his handkerchief which she used to clean her body. I am sorry, i was at fault ( Samson admitted). I should have allowed you to go first( in an emotional voice). Don't worry, I'm okay( she replied). Samson later went to his seat as the emotional scene ended.
     The lecture later got cancelled as Dr mendy's wife is terribly sick and has been hospitalized in the hospital for more than 3 weeks. Samson with his friends( the Lobito mandem) jumped out of the class with joy. 

     Lizzy and her friends walked out of the class as their trick later worked on  Samson. Samson has not been giving Lizzy attention, they planned everything so that lizzy could get samson's attention. I couldn't believe what I saw, Bridget tapped Lizzy. I told you guys it was going to work out but you didn't believe me at first(Tina said). Anyways, thanks to Tina who brought out this idea, I couldn't believe Samson could be as caring as that, he was so emotional and gentle, what a lovely sight to behold, I must admit you are already in love with this guy( Bridget added). I just like him naturally though he has some flaws such as his uncombed hair and his thuggery dressing but I still like him like that although he is brilliant, Hmm hmm, how I wish that  scene repeat itself again....( Tina cuts in) " in your dreams". I think you should give bright a chance too.

     Lizzy, Bright has been disturbing all day because of you. This disturbance is so high that he even calls me at night, I had to shout and insult him so that he won't disturb me again. I even called him a dumb fuck lunatic but despite all this, he never back off but kept on disturbing. He confessed to me that he likes you and will want both of you to explore a relationship. Lizzy, you need to see how this guy's voice is shaking on phone, he loves you more than normal, I think you should give him attentio....( Lizzy cuts in), tell him that he is just wasting his time and I don't date stammers( Tina laughed out in a mockery way). That is too deep, the guy is just too disgusting( Tina added). You guys need to see the way his voice is shaking. That is none of my business, tell the motherfucker to find something to do rather than wasting his time on a futile mission because I can't date the son of an ice cream seller( All of them laughed out in mockery ways).

     Bright later came to school that day after two lectures had been done, he had to help his father to sell some of the ice cream because that is where he would get money to take to school. As he was entering, some of his mate started mocking him as part of his cloth is torn at the back, he was rushing and later hit his leg hard on a big stone in front ( he has presbyopia, a sight illness). As this happened, the mockery volume increased in multiple folds. When Samson saw this, he stood up with a speed of light and ran towards him as nobody stood up to help him. He ran so fast and later got to the scene in order to get him up, he noticed that he is bleeding already, he took out his white handkerchief and use it to clean away the blood and to put pressure on the wound so as to stop further loss of blood. He tried to make him walk to the school clinic but noticed that he couldn't walk very well. So, he had to carry him up( Samson is very strong). He carried bright like a baby to the school clinic where he would get a better treatment. As they were about to enter, they met a doctor outside who was receiving a call. He later ended the call and ushered them in.

     Bright was later stabilized and the doctor later commended Samson as a true friend. So, what is your name? ( the doctor asked). I'm Samson but you can also call me Samsat. Ohh, that is alright, I'm Dr Wilson , the chief medical staff of this clinic. Nice meeting you sir ( Samson replied). I want you to continue this good behaviour of yours and the respect you have for humanity. Okay sir, thank you, Samson replied.

    ( Bright and Samson later moved northward from the hospital and sat under a tree to discuss).
       Thank youuu sooo... mucccch( He is a stammer). Don't mention bro, I was only trying to respect humanity. I bought you food so that you can use your drugs so as to quickly pull over. Ohhh, than....k yo...u I really appreciat..e. Bright, can I ask you a question? Yes( Bright replied). Why is it that you come late to school everyday? I come late because I need to help my dad sell some ice creams so that we can get money to buy my drugs and food in the house.( This statement gave Samson a confused state of mind) Your DRUGS!!!  What do you mean by saying your drugs? Ohh don't be surprised I have sickle cell anaemia and presbyopia. Things often appear blur in my sight and that was why I hit my leg with the big stones in front of me, the money I get from the ice cream I sell is what I use to buy the drugs that I need to use so that my sight can improve and the other ailment.(He stammered all through). I noticed you don't do well in class too( Samson asked). Yes bro, I have some challenges pertaining to that, I have gone to meet some guys in the class so that they can teach me but most of them would always despise me, some even called me a sick poor rat of nobody. I am tired bro, it seems as if the whole world is against me. Is it my fault that i'm a sickler, is it my fault that I sell ice cream( he started shedding tears). Stop(  Samson quickly consoled him). Don't worry, I will try my possible best to help you in order to improve, just stay strong and never give up on yourself. Okay bro, thank you ( He started shedding tears again).
