The boy wandered off to go deliver the message.

“Who is she?” Smart asked.

“She is one of your class members, I don’t know why she sent for me.” Dave said.
“OK, go answer her.”

ONE WEEK LATER
.
Smart had already gotten acquainted with his friends and was already getting quite popular in class because his intelligence but one thing surprises everyone, he doesn’t associate with girls, all the time in the company of Dave and do.

It had been one night, during prep, Smart was in the reading hall, bent over reading his literature text book, he was trying to understand a thing or two about the poem “SHALL I COMPARE THEE TO A SUMMER’S DAY” by WILLIAMS SHAKESPEARE. he wasn’t getting along due to the noise made by some students who we’re not reading in the hall. After many futile attempts, he dropped the book and made to take a nap, when he felt a person tap at him, he raised up his head to behold a sight.

It was the girl who kept looking at him through class all the time.
“Hi.” She greeted.
“How are you? ” he asked
“I’m good, mind if I join you?” She asked.
“Nope you are free.”
She sat down and Smart sat up.
“I’m Gloria.” She told him
“Nice name you got, I’m…….” He made to talk but Gloria interrupted by Gloria.
“There is no need for that, you are Smart
You already quite popular.” She said.
Smart only smiled and turned back to his books.

“What is that you are reading?”
“Ohh!! Literature but the place is kinda noisy, so I’m not concentrating.” He said.
“It is usually normal here, especially at the absence of the functionaries.” She said and Smart nodded in agreement.
“I’m sorry for what happened earlier.” She said.

“What happened?” Smart asked quite confused.
“What happened in your first day in class.” She said bending her head downwards.
“Ohh! That is already a bygone affair.”
“But that’s very wicked of her, she is just too full of herself, proud, rude and saucy. She doesn’t associate with anyone in class, always keeping to herself.” She said in disgust.
Smart chuckled and looked at the girl and said.
“Its normal everyone has his or her life to live.”

As they we’re still speaking Sandra walked past their seat, she fixed her eyes on Smart and walked past them.
“Speaking of the b---h.” Gloria muttered.
She turned to Smart and saw him straighten up the white vest he was wearing over his wine red colored day wear trouser.
“Can I ask you a question?” She asked.
“Go on.” Smart said.
“Why don’t you like associating with girls? Most of the girls do say you only associate with boys and that’s only Dave and his two friends. “Please can I know why?”
“It is personal, there is no need bothering yourself.” Smart said and said and started opening his book, which signified that he was getting tired of the discussion.
“It seems your mood changed immediately you saw her.”

“Hmm!! I don’t know what you are talking about.” Smart said averting his gaze. “Please if you don’t I would like to read, the hall is quiet now.”
“No problem but I hope you wont mind if I come to you for help, anywhere I find problematic in my academic work.”
“You are welcome.” He said and turned back to his books and she left for another seat, Smart had read for a while, he turned to stretch his neck, when he saw an envelope at the place Gloria was during their discussion, he looked around he didn’t see her. He felt she might have forgotten the letter. He picked up the white envelope to see what that pricked his curiosity. The inscription “SMART IT IS MEANT FOR YOU” it was written on the letter.

He tore open the envelope and saw a piece of paper that was folded properly.
He opened it and read it.
