Incredible! How you summarized what seems to look like a long story into few words. I feel sorry for Dan, there's nothing really wrong with being a nerd that doesn't belong. You're an incredible writer, ride on.

Of course there's nothing wrong with it. "Nerd" was what people thought of him, he really shouldn't have minded their opinions. Thank you, I appreciate your kind words! ☺️

It's sad indeed. This might just be fiction but it's the reality of many college students, especially in Nigeria. And like you mentioned, it's important that we always look at the "bigger picture" regardless of our insecurities. Thanks darling 😊❤️.

You're right dear, it's what is applicable to us today, we see these things every now and then, we just keep praying for God's guidance. You're welcome dear, I'm glad I did 😊.

Damn... This was rough. You did a good job with the Title. I clicked immediately I SAW IT! Hmph.... This short Story basically sums up cultism, fraternities, and sororities all in 50words!
