Starting Of Her Problems

Julianna

I didn’t know what had happened a while back there but I couldn’t help but my heart was beating uncontrollably, ready to limp out of my chest.

Why would he even dare think and try such a sinful thing with me? I made a cross sign why hurriedly stepping out of the building like my life depended on it.

“Julianna Gabby’s?” The receptionist questioned, were I had finally reached the admin block after almost being molested. I shook my head, apparently I was still quite shaken up unable to think properly.

Get yourself together Julie.

The woman pushed her head back to the laptop in front of her, probably checking and confirming the information which I had given her.

“All your tuition fees has been cleared and completed, thought you resuming this late isn’t going to be a good thing for you.” I gulped, already expecting something like that. Flicking her eyes from my face, she continued, bringing out some stake of file from her desk. “This is your time table, including a guideline to help you get yourself familiarize with the campus, your hostel and room number are in here, including everything you need to know about this institution, Good luck Ms Gabby’s.” She painted her face with a plain smile which I returned.

Holding the files I walked out, but still I had some contemplation running through my thoughts. It felt like I should have reported the incident, because who knows what would happen after this, I was getting an eerily feeling about it.

If Father Corbin were to be here, he would definitely have report to the school authority about this because me keeping quiet was a sin itself. After much thinking, I went back into the office having the receptionist giving me a questionable look.

I cleared my throat, not knowing why I was even being afraid when I had done nothing wrong, I had hit him out of self defense, yes it was self defense.

“I would like to make a report about something which happened to me, is there a disciplinary body I could report too?”

The woman apparently had her gazed hooked up to me, it took her a whole minute or more before she responded, “Yes, there’s actually a disciplinary body and an anti-bullying panel to report too. Is there something wrong?”

“Ah…..” The words had silently died in my throat because the woman soon continued disregarding whatever I wanted to say.

“On a second thought, I don’t want to even know, if your looking for the panels, it’s the next building at the right, painted blue. You can lay your complain there.”

Exiting the building, I could still feel the woman’s eyes gaggling at me like I just said something wrong or it wasn’t something to be said in the first place.

I still had some few places to visit, like getting my IDs done and some other things which including me getting the necessary books which I would be needing for my course. I was given admission to study literature which was actually my first line of choice.

Thank God I didn’t have to struggle much before finding my assigned hostel and my room, but let just say that it wasn’t something I had hope to see which met my gaze.

Knocking on the door, I didn’t hear any voice from inside telling me to have come in. The room was suppose to inhabit three girls and I was taking the last spot since my other two roommates had resumed a week earlier.

Taking the initiative, I opened the room. My eyebrow furrowed whereas the lights were turned off, and I couldn’t help but pick a faint sound coming from inside the room.

Maybe I shouldn’t have flickered the lights but when I did, I soon regretted it because my eyes were plague with the most unimaginable sight.

“What the fuck!” Came the groaning voice of one of the girls. She was completely naked and she wasn’t the only one, the other girl on the bed was very much not clothed too.

How could they both be naked, lying on the same bed, my mind refused to picture what I had witness again.

“Who the fuck are you bitch!” The high voice of the girl reached my hearing again. Her hair was ginger red, and irritation spread across her face.

I blinked profusely, were I was trying to bring my words out, and when it came out, it was coherent and shaky too. “Hmmm, I was assigned to this room---”

“Close the fucking door and come inside, would you.” The second girl finally spoke out, weaving her fingers in her hair while she adjusted the covers of the bed to cover her nakedness.

The door was shut behind me, and I didn’t think it was a smart move from my side. I tried continuing with my statement, “I have been given this----”

“I fucking heard you the first time bitch, fuck I hate your witching voice already.” She got out of the bed not bothered about her nakedness. Much amount of irritation fill the red headed girls tone and I could already get the feeling that she doesn’t like me.

On the other hand, the other girl spoke. “Shouldn’t we be welcoming to our new roommate Nate?” Her words directed to the other girl. The Nate girl raised her middle finger, while gulping down on a bottle of something which I smelt from were I was standing. It was alcohol.

The second girl got up, having the blanket wrapped around her body, she walked to were I stood and with a bright smile she welcomed me. “Welcome to our room, my name is Flora but you can call me Ora, and she is Nate.” She pointed and the other girl wasn’t bothered enough to even spare me a glance.

Flora’s eyes matched up to mine, before questioning, “What’s your name?”

“Julianna.” I responded.

“Your not from New York? I mean your accent is giving the British vibe.” Of course she was right, I had a thick British accent, and it was normal for me where I had never stepped out from England.

“I’m from England.” She shook her head, and then she pointed. “You can take the bed space over there and if there’s any problem you can ask me.” I smiled at her, thankfully she wasn’t going all mad at me, unlike someone….my eyes tailing on Nate, where I had immediately received a hateful glare from her.

Soon they both stepped out and I didn’t question the reason why they were naked in each other’s arms. I was only minding my own business.

Getting my things arranged in my space and putting things up was very tiring. Once I was done I head out to get some food before heading back to my room. My roommates still weren’t back.

The next day arrived and I was really excited and nervous at the same time, the first course of the day was dance which was strange to me because I don’t know how it was related to Literature.

Hearing the clicking of the door, my head spurred to the door.

“Hi..” Flora entered. She didn’t sleep here last night and so did Nate.

“Good morning…” I greeted, before focusing on picking some few books into my bag.

“Getting ready for class? What course are you offering?”

“Literature.”

She shook her head, “Art kids.” She collapsed on her bed, sighing and groaning at the same time.

Thought I was firm on the decision of minding my own business, my tongue wasn’t ready to obey orders, so I had questioned. “Aren’t you going to class?”

She popped her head to face me. “I will, the Professor won’t mind me coming late.” She flashed a smile were I couldn’t help but take a mental note that she was addicted to smiling.

I was ready to head out for class when something had occurred to me, I was actually planning on reporting the man from yesterday, I had decided not to let it slide because it was wrong in every sense.

“I actually need an opinion from you, something had happened to me yesterday and am planning on reporting, but I don’t know we’re to go, the disciplinary body or the anti-bully panel.”

“Disciplinary body is actually for educational stuffs and the Anti-bully panel is for everything outside education, I don’t know if you get it?”

My mind took a moment to grasped on what she worded but it actually made some sense.

“Thank you, now I actually know where to go.”

“Did something serious happen.” She leaned out her thought of curiosity.

“Nothing that serious.” And with that Flora shook her head not furthering the question.

I made my way to the anti-bully panel office.

“It’s really quite early to know that some people aren’t up to no good, bullying a freshman is something I get a lot as complain. I hope you weren’t hurt physically?”

I shook my head, “I wasn’t.” She then shook her head, bringing out a form for me to fill out, which I diligently did.

Submitting the form back to her, she skimmed through it while saying. “Don’t worry we will make sure to get to that person-----” She halted with her words, her eyes pinned on the paper before racing back to mine.

“Is there something wrong? Did I not fill it out properly?”

“No, you can leave, I’m sure you have classes to attend, we will handle it.”

****

Watching Juliana leave, the lady sighed out heavily, shaking her head before she picked her phone.

“Good day Professor Grey, a girl just left my office just now and she filled an assault complain on you.”

“Oh did she?”
