Chapter 1 AZ University Financial Office

It was a hot afternoon when Belle entered the dean's office and was sent directly to the Finance office. She was so confused as to why she was summoned to the finance department.

She braced herself, took her time and knock on the door with complete confidence.

"Come in" a woman's voice was heard from the other side of the door. Belle twisted the door knob and enter the office. She walked in and found that there were several people in the office, which seems like they were waiting for

"Afternoon" she found courage to open her mouth and greet the panel in front of her.

"Afternoon Miss Jean, please sit down" one of the people responded while showing her an empty chair.

Belle sat down quietly with a confused face.

One of the woman in a panel started talking, not wanting to waste time. "Miss we won't beat around the bush, it is almost lunch time and we have to eat"

"Okay" Belle responded

"We called you today because you are owing a lot of money to the University and you won't be able to write your quarterly exams and you will be suspended from classes and sued" The man with big beard told her the reason for the meeting

Belle frowned not understanding what he just said, she was soo confused in a way that a headache hit her right there. "My scholarship have already paid for my yearly fees, how can i owe a school, what are you talking about? " She tried her best to be calm

"Miss, don't try to act smart with us. Your scholarship have already reversed your tuition fees, you owe fees for registration, modules, computer access, tutoring, resident, books and food. An impatient personnel spoke with anger.

Belle was now confused, "funds reversed? " she was thinking out loud. "But why? Why were there reversed? Do you know the reason why? When did it happen? She asked so many questions in one breath.

"Miss, we must be the one asking you those questions. It is your scholarship, not ours. You also have to move out of the student resident you were placed in." An impatient woman continued with insults.

"Miss you can check on your student portal, you will see how much you owe the University. You can also call the head office to find out the reason why the funds has been reversed. You also still have a month before quarterly exams start, you can pay the funds and continue studying. I can tell that you are lost, you were not informed of the funds reversal. The man with big beard, told her with pity in his eyes. "You can work part time and pay the funds bit by bit. "

The panel got up and exited the office without another word. Only the big beard man was left behind. "Miss, go rest, think about it"

"Thank you sir" Belle responded with sadness in her voice. She got up and left dragging her weak legs.

She went and sit under the big tree trying to think, but only she can find contradiction in her brain, she was unable to think straight. She also tried to play soul music to pick up her soul.

She found it hard to live, she went to her dorm. She reached out to her phone, scroll the numbers until she reached the headquarters numbers. She press dial and heard it

"Hello this is student achievement headquarters how may i help you" A woman's voice can be heard on the other line of the phone

"Hi, this is Belle Jean, i'm calling regarding my scholarship, the funds of my fees have been reversed a month ago, i wasn't informed about it, may i please know the reason for funds reversal? " Belle spoke with a heartache.

"May i please have your ID Miss"

"My ID is ************"

"Okay Miss, wait a minute while i look at the date base.... Miss, yes Miss your funds has been reversed due to fraud. It seems as if you didn't deserve the scholarship, it might be because of negligence. Is there something else i can help you with Miss".

"Nnn... No, it is okay, thank you for your help. She hand up and went to the bathroom.
