Sarah jumped up from the bed,sweating profusely. It was a dream,a terrible one at that. She had sleep off while she was crying that afternoon. She looked at the clock on the wall, it was evening already. She still felt the slap given to her that afternoon. She was so tired.
‛‛I have sinned against God by trying to abort this baby, and despite my sins,He still saved me from the hands of death.'' She thought to herself.
She knelt down beside her bed and began to plead for God's forgiveness. After the prayer,she was so hungry . She has not eaten anything since morning. She decided to go out to get something to eat since she was too tired to prepare anything.
There was a restaurant in her street, not too far from her hostel. She bought rice and stew and was heading back to the hostel when she heard her name. The voice sounded familiar, she turned to see who it was and realized it was the same guy that walked up to her the day she was heading back from class before the whole gossip stuff began.
‛‛How are you?'' James asked.
Sarah gave no answer,she just stood in front of him holding the plate of rice.
‛‛Well, I know you still can't remember me,but I really hope you do.'' James said.
‛‛Please can you excuse me,I have a lot of important things to attend to''. Sarah said to James and started walking away. 
James quickly ran after her.
‛‛Why are you ignoring me?'' James asked her and she still didn't answer. 
Sarah felt James was starting to disturb her,so she told him to leave her alone and never talk to her again

. But James insisted on becoming friends with her. He insisted on walking Sarah back to her hostel even when she told him not to. When Sarah saw that he wasn't going to stop following her. She stopped,turned to him and gave him a resounding slap on the face.
‛‛What is the problem with you? I want nothing to do with you. Are my problems not enough,why do you want to add to it?''
Sarah shouted at James angrily and walked away.
James couldn't believe what just happened.
‛‛Did she really slap me?'' He asked himself.
Some of the students around were looking at the whole incident,wondering if he was going to run after Sarah to return the slap or just let it go.
One of the students walked to him and told him he was very stupid to have allowed a street dog slap him and do nothing about it. James didn't say anything,he picked up his book from the ground. It had fallen when Sarah slapped him on the face.
Sarah got back to her hostel. She was so mad at herself.
‛‛Why did I slap him? I have to apologize the next time I see him.'' She thought to herself. 
Few days later,she was heading back to her hostel from school with Bola when they heard a gun shot. Everyone started running for safety. Bola quickly held Sarah's hand. They started running,looking for a safe place to hide when Sarah fell down. Bola quickly helped her up,they both continued running. They could not run towards their hostel become of the crowd,everyone was running for survival. They stopped at the boys hostel and knocked heavily on one of the doors. The door was opened for them and they quickly entered the room. Sarah held her stomach in pain. Bola was terrified,she fell on the ground beside Sarah. What could be going on? Sarah raised her head to look at the occupant of the room and discovered it was James. 
She was about saying thank you when she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She noticed something flowing down her right leg. She felt very weak and lifeless. She tried opening her eyes wide but all she could see was a dim light. She touched the substance on her leg and looked at her hand.
Blo...o...d. She said and fainted.
