He’s Sam as per what I heard from the other man whose head he was banging was screaming.”, Kelly narrated the fateful night. “You should have seen his eyes. They were bloody red. He looked like a raging demon. Everyone were scared to watch him bash that man black and blue. The sight was terrifying. Anyway , the police arrived and arrested him right away.”, she continued. Everyone listened to her with great intent.  She couldn’t believe a nice guy like him could hurt anyone. “I don’t know. One moment that    guy helps me walk to the college because I was hurt.

I think I can manage", she smiled weakly. "Fine", he said softly. He didn't insist her with his offer to help. She limped few steps and then fell down. She cried in pain.

Three years had passed. Still those memories were fresh in her mind. It was a sunny morning. She got ready for college. She was bored resting at home due to flu. Now that she was feeling fine, she decided to go to college. She sneaked through the kitchen to get some breakfast.
