The new me

I rub my blurry eyes trying to open them after the alarm started ringing. I cant believe that its finally Monday and I have to go back to campus. It's been almost three days since I met Tamima. Alot of things has happened in just three days. I feel like I have known her for the longest time ever.

I rush to the shower. As the hot water covers my body, I can't stop imagining what has happened in the three days. Being chased by wolves then going to that secret society. This seems like a movie and its hard to believe that this things happens in the real world.

As I open the closet I begin to stare at the clothes. I must select the best outfit today that will make me stand out. I want everyone to see the new me. The stylish and elegant guy. I know am starting to behave girlish but have to do this. I have to be extremely smart today.

I open the drawers in the dressing mirror. I gape as I stare at the jewelries. From the wrist watches, rings and necklaces they are all masculine but so elegant. I pick one silver coated wrist watch and a fancy looking but simple necklace. I don't want to over exaggerate this.

"Wow!!!  you looking so handsome today", I point at my reflection in the mirror as I stare at myself. It's been long since felt this good. It's been a while since I admired myself.

"Blake wow... Where are you heading to. You look so elegant", Tamima lifts a brow at me as I seat in the dining room.

"To campus", I inform her. This time I am courageous. I stare at her not blinking with no fear in me. What is happening to me. I feel like something inside me is driving me to be more bold. It's a force that is pushing me to be something that am not used to being. It's like I have another person inside my body controlling me.

"Interesting how you feeling", she asks as she bites her burger.

"Aaaah... strange I can't understand what am feeling", I inform her and she lightly chuckles.

"Just relax you will understand that later. One of my chauffers will take you there", I can't believe this. I will be dropped to campus in one of her luxurious cars.

"Really... Wow I can't believe this ", even my own uncle didn't do this for me. With all his wealth and numerous cars. He just treated me like trash.

"Yes Blake relax you deserve better", she grins at me and I notice the switch in her mood.

"Thank you so much...".

"The chauffeur will come back for you after your lectures. You will be staying here for the meantime", she informs me and I don't know how I can thank her.

"Woow thanks so much ", I grin at her widely.

As we head to campus I feel so good despite of the strange things that has been happening to me. I have to do this and make it in life.

Being courageous doesn't mean that am not fearing now. The two go hand in hand. I will face everyone that made me desire death. I will show them that ain't a weakling as they view me. Though my heart beats fast as I remember the horrible things that happened to me. My fingers tingle from excess adrenaline, I am a warrior and ready to fight whatever comes my way.

As I step outside the rolls royce. Most of the guys around stand to see who was coming out of that car. My heart beat accelerates. Am a bit nervous since I don't love attention at all. The chauffeur  closes the door.

"Wait is this Blake", I hear a lady's voice.

I pretend i didn't hear her. I walk majestically like a superstar actor who was just awarderd an Oscar award.

"Blake!!! What happened to you. Wow you look so dope ", Anna asks me. She is among the people who didn't despise me. She isn't among my closest friends but she really helps me in studying.

"Aaaah I just did shopping" , I lie. I can't tell her that Tamima gave me all this. She would start thinking that she's my sugar momma or something.

"And that car... Is it yours", she asks me pointing at the departing car. Am now confused what do I even tell her.

"A friend offered a lift", I lie again.

"Oooh wow I love the new you", she says staring at me. I have never seen her giving me this look before. Is this girl crashing on me.

"Thank you", I grin and head towards my lecture room.

As I enter I lift my head high and enter like a king. Everyone who was present gapes at me. Before I wasn't even caring of how I looked. I didn't make my hair or style my beard. I didn't wear elegant clothes. No one could even desire my style. But now everyone is admiring me. This feeling is so good.

"Hey Blake what happened to you", Tony the guy who was always bossy wanting everyone to bow at his presence was now astonished by my looks.

"I just upgraded a little ", I inform him and he chuckles softly heading towards me. 

"Upgraded just a little with this wrist watch...", He points at my watch. I turn to look up at him and wonder what is problem was.

"Yes so...", I lift a brow at him and watch his mood change dramatically.

"You just talked rudely. Do you know talking like that to me it's an offense huuh little Blake", he says and I frown at him. Am no longer that guy that they laughed at and took advantage of.

"I know who you are. What do you want I worship you or ...", I softly chuckle and am also wondering why am getting this courage from.

"You now talk back. Do you dare mess with me or you will regret it", he threatens me. His furious face looks like an ogre and I can't stop laughing.

"Do your worst man", I challenge him as I walk towards the seats. I have to show them that ain't the desperate, broke and timid guy they once knew.

"Wow so your now talking back at him. What happened to you. You seen so different now", Jay my friend asks me. He couldn't believe that it was me of all people talking like that to Tony.

"Change is the only constant thing", I inform him like a boss advising his staff.

"Yes boss I take the advice", he slightly grins at me and I nod.
