So one Saturday night as I was walking from school after attending the university christian union fellowship that had lasted upto nine pm I came across Mr Lennox our English Lecturer,he was in his black Subaru that he had parked outside West Bar and Restaurant.

The lecturer was drank but wasn't drank that much.Mr Lennox knew me very well since I was among the few students who had made the English literature class lively.

I had always made Mr Lennox class lively by interrupting him and asking questions and sometimes I even answered questions on behalf of the lecturer.This behavior made many of the coursemates hate me.

Some naughty and jealous girls like Deborah always talked about me to other collegemates but that never bothered me at all.My single mother was struggling to pay my school fees and therefore I knew myself very well.I wanted to learn and avoid bad peer influence that might ruin my future and shutter my dreams of helping my mum raise my two younger siblings and even be able to gift her a nice home to live.

My mother had managed to acquire a one bedsitter house that she paid rent every month of ksh 3k.The house had housed my siblings and I to this time.

She usually did some casual work for a day's pay so that we could survive and that is why I believed that I had a debt to repay my mum.My mum is a strong woman imagine in a day's pay he had managed to raise three kids,pay rent,pay school fees and everything.Life wasn't easy for us though as we grew up.

If you ask me if I have ever slept without eating,I will just laugh.Here in campus I was living by the grace of God.I had to survive so that my young siblings can have something,that is why I never wanted to waste my life with people whose families were well off and had a future even if they failed to graduate in university.

Mr Lennox saw me walking past the car,he then lowered the car window and called me,stretched his hands towards me and we Shook hands.

“ How are you Cate?”

“ Am fine sir”

“ Where are you from this time of the night”

“ Sir am from the CU meeting that we always have on Saturday evenings.You know am the CU Vice chair”

“ Ok can I give you a ride”

I tried to refuse but after persuading me so much I had gotten into the car and the Lecturer had driven.

Where I resided wasn't far,it was less than a kilometer away but since the Lecturer had insisted that he wanted to offer me a ride,how could I refuse.

The lecturer was a good person and the thought of him doing any harm to me didn't cross my mind.Futhermore I was among the best in his courses even when it came to exams and this gave me confidence.He must admire how I take my work seriously,I thought.
