Prince was a smart boy who studied at the best university in the country. He became famous because of his smartness and his lovable face and these things made him selfish and cruel. Everyone talked about Prince in the university but because of his arrogance, he refused to associate himself with other students.
Students do go to Prince for help in regard to their studies, but he always finds a way of escaping from anything relating to helping other students because he didn't want anyone to be better than he is.
He was constantly in the top ten list of smart students in the university, and all the girls wanted to be his girlfriend, but due to his arrogance, he rejected them all because he always thought that he deserves to be with the most beautiful in the university.

Prince went to college one certain day and as always he didn't look at anyone but all of a sudden he bumped into a pretty new girl who looked like an angel. Prince was mesmerized with such beauty that he lost all his senses. The pretty girl snapped him out of his fantasy world, and she said;
"Sorry sir may I ask you something?"
Prince's entire body was still trembling, and he gazed at the girl for a while before replying with a shaking voice;
"Sure, you can, but I've never seen you around."
The pretty girl smiled and said;
"Yea I'm new here, and that was what I wanted to say. I don't know anything here, please can you help me?"
Prince was happy because he thought it was an opportunity to spend time with her. When other students saw Prince with the new girl, they were stunned and every one talked about them. Prince showed the girl the whole university, and he asked her to be his friend, and of course she agreed gladly.
Prince spent his time with the girl every now and then, and sometimes he skipped his lectures just to be able to see her. Day by day, Prince fell deeply in love with her.
Prince became care free about his studies and all his lecturers noticed this. However, Prince cared less about their opinion and continued skipping classes just to see her. Seeing her smile made him think he was the luckiest person on the earth, and then he decided to express his love to her.
On getting to the University that fateful day, he waited for her but unfortunately, she didn't come to the university neither did she answer his calls. Prince was so sad to the extent he didn't know what to do. He couldn't even concentrate all day in class and so, he went home sad.
At home, he couldn't stop thinking about her. He asked himself many questions like why didn't she come? What's happening to her? Is she sick?...... He fell asleep while thinking of all these things.
The next day, he woke up, got out of his bed, and prepared himself for college. He again waited for her, but it was of no use because she still didn't show up.
Many days passed, and his love was still nowhere to be found. He then decided to search for her, and he spent many days searching for his love.
He finally found her address and went to her home. Unfortunately he realized that she passed away in a car accident. He cried his eyes out and almost died knowing she was no more.
Many years passed by, and he still couldn't stop thinking and talking about her. He told everyone that she wasn't just a human, but an angel who was sent by God to teach him lessons of life.
One of the many lessons is how to be humble. He was determined not to ever get married, proclaiming that his love for her was endless.
"There is nothing stronger than the power of randiness."
Joking aside, people only really change when they allow it, as much as you want to change, change only starts when you act in a different way to external events. Passion is something that transforms worlds.
You are so right.. Even though change is the only contrast thing in nature,it only happens when you are truly ready for it... Thanks for you comment..
You give us a story with a moral. Prince thought he had the world figured out and he was above everyone else's concern. But then he fell in love and lost that love. This humbled him.
Thank you for sharing the story with the Ink Well community.*Have you read and commented on the work of at least two other writers this week? (See The Ink Well community rules on our home page.) This helps our community thrive, and also makes you eligible to be chosen for a spotlight in our weekly highlights magazine. Thank you!
I'm glad you picked something from this story... In the case of Prince, love humbled him, we can never tell what might humble us... Perhaps we might not have another chance to make amends. We just have to be very careful not to allow our pride take the better of us.
I will definitely do the needful by reading the works of other authors.
Thanks so much for your comment.
My biggest hope as a reader is that he finds the girl. If only the story was wrapped with more dramatic scenes, it would be very cool.
He can't find the girl because the girl is dead.. Had it been you read the last part..you would have seen it

Thanks so much for this.. It means a lot to me. I am so motivated now.. I appreciate
One way or the other, we would find someone who will teach us lessons of life. The girl had successfully taught Prince how to be humble but it's a pity she died in such little time.
@dreemport led me here.
Yea.. It's so sad she died.. But I believe it was meant to be... Some people come into our lives just to teach us a lesson and afterwards, they disappear. I believe that's the case here
It is so sad that she had to die for a lesson to be learned but at least he learned something.
By the way, got here through @dreemport
Sure..he learnt from that..maybe it was meant to be.. That's why he said she was an angel
Most times smart people feel proud and it takes humility to see them associate with others they classify as dumb but love knows no boundaries, it humbles even the proud, and that is what happened to the prince. It is quite unfortunate he was unable to profess his love to her and so sad she died at a young age.
Guess everything happens for a reason. She came into his life to make him see reasons why he should change and then she left.. Guess she came for a purpose and when it was fulfilled, she left.. Prince was humbled by love, something he never thought would happen to him.
True love is something that is endless and no one can forget it. And in the most if the cases two true lover are unable to meet in this life. It is really a butter reality that lovers can't meet and can't be one happily because there are a lot of hurdles and troubles in their way.
I got this from @dreemport.
Sometimes lessons are learnt the hard the way,although it's not the best but we still have to learn all the same...let's always try to humble ourselves to learn what we need to without treading the hard path. Thanks for this piece davidbright.
