JULIE CRIED

I met Julie in our year one in the university and we became friends when I discovered her simplicity and decency although in different departments in the faculty of Engineering.

We both came from a poor background but mine was favourable to an extent compared to hers but I
wondered why she was not a flirt even with the lack she was going through and with her beauty.
It was three days to our second semester exam that I saw Julie in a moody look as we studied for our exams. I questioned why she was moody, she delayed to say anything until I forced words out of her mouth and she said to me:

You have really being a friend and a brother to me but I never wanted telling you the current need since you told me your uncle that promised you some cash failed his promise. I have an assignment which will cost me 500 naira to get it done but I called my widowed mum and she said no money
I brought out the 600 naira on me and gave her, for the first time she hugged me as tears rolled down her beautiful face.
