Chapter 51

2019.04.11

I celebrated my birthday with Sally and the editor of Science Society (Sam). Zarina was frequently absent to class. The annoying guys were as usual making Sally and Sam uncomfortable and mad. But I started to not to feel uncomfortable nor comfortable around them. More likely I did not care about their existence anymore. Yeah, Sam became one of us now after Zarina left.

I studied hard but not hard enough. I was always distracted by new drama in the Utube. And also I listened to music a lot that made me forget the context of some lessons. Sometimes I stayed up till the next day and it turned out it was not fruitful at all. It was like I was fooling myself and my parents for sure. I was waiting till the last moment to study.

The annoying guys stood out of the class. Sally was panicking with fear. "Stop looking at them. I am there. Do not be scared." Sally did not listen to me. She looked at them and they signaled her to come out. She quickly looked down and refused to look. I peeled the tangerines that I bought with me and passed the slices to them and popped some in to my mouth. "Pretend to be chatting and laughing." I sketched out a plan. Sally saw that her old friends who are also her boarding mates talking with the boys. "I think it is them who said our names." She was indeed boiling with anger. I turned my head to see two of her ex-friends talking with the boys. I silently pooped another slice of tangerine and slowly calmed my nerves down.

They now were approaching in to the class from the behind door. Sally and Sam were panicking. I slowly gestured to calm down and that I will handle it. Thank lord that they approached my side. "We want to talk with you." I turned my head towards them. They were standing behind our backs. Sam did not turn. She turned to a monk. Sally was facing the front and did not look at them because there was one boy who was flirting her. Sorry more like stalking just like the Mathew's friend. You know it is so unfair that I am so hot than Sally but no one approach me may be because I am savage? What a bumper! "Yeah sure, what do you want to talk about?" "Stop with the English. Why do you not know (Native Language)?" Do not get pissed off Anna, cool down. I was chanting myself to not to get angry. "Fine we will talk in the language you like." I shifted from English to our native language. I regret it. I should have not. There were six of them standing in a row like a train and my admirer was absent. It seemed like he did not want to get involved and he clearly was nervous around me. "You were the ones who wrote about us on the black board." I knew what he was talking about. "No, it was not me." I did not include us. I talked to myself on this situation. "We saw that you came out of that classroom." I smiled. "You meant Hannah (one of Sally's ex-friends) saw me." "No, hey you are the one who saw her right?" He quickly diverted to the guy who was standing behind Sally, the guy who liked her. He became so nervous when I faced him. He quickly denied and all of them kept saying that it was him. It was fun to watch. He was afraid of me. I did not know why he was scared of me. He barely knew me. "It is true that I went to that classroom. And I went to chat with some of my friends." I interrupted their conversation. Then another guy spoke, "Look at her lying without any fear." "I should be in fear if I had wrote about you." And I raised my eyebrows at him. I could tell at all of them were shocked. "We have CCTV camera proof also." I slowly thought about the angle of the CCTV Camera. It was facing the other way and no one can tell who wrote it. "Okay. You can go and complain in the front desk that someone is harassing you. And you can even can give my name in." I told with full of confident on my face and crossed my arms. The guy on the very corner to the left was standing in front of my desk. He looked at my book. I knew he was looking at my letters. And I know that the letters that were wrote on the blackboard was different from my letters. I looked at him for a while and closed my book.

"No. We are not saying that you wrote. We want to clarify." It worked. He continued talking, "Like, you do not know us and you have nothing to write about and then there is Sally. She can write because she is loving (the boy's name). [Sally said, "Stupid" under breathe.] And then that girl we have no idea who she is…" I cut him in, "Wait who is loving who? Oh! You meant he likes her and she does not like him." I said out bluntly. The guy who was looking at my book got shocked and clung on to his friend's shoulder who was speaking this whole time. Something was fishy. "She does not love him." I shook my head and said a 'NO' with no emotion. "Then why did she say that she likes him?" Sally was mad. "I do not like him and I did not tell I like him and you should go and talk with the one who told you that I like him." She was talking about Hannah and her other ex-friends. I kept quiet and observed their reactions and continued with my talk, "Like you said I do not know most of you except for you three. And why should I write about you?" "We are not doubting you. We want to clarify. Do you know who wrote?" Like seriously that is doubting right? They are trying to calm things down. They seemed not sure what they are talking now also. I replied, "No I do not know. If I knew I would have told you already." He continued to wine, "You should have seen what they wrote about my girlfriend." "You have a girlfriend? So, what did they write?" I lied effortlessly. He sighed. "You do not need to know about it. It is useless talking about it." I could only smile at their pride.

Sally's admirer talked next, "I was mad when that (Mathew's friend) came and told me to stop bothering Sally and she was hers." I was shocked at this new scene. This now has been a confessing drama. It is like they forgot for what they came for. Sally clutched her fists tightly. "That has nothing to do with us. She does not like anyone except for me. She does not belong to anyone except for me. Okay?" I made an okay sign with my right hand. Andi continued, "I do not mind if you think it was me who wrote. You are welcome to go and complain about me and they can take any action they wish to." They said no and told the same thing that they were clarifying not doubting us. Idiots! They did not expect us to answer in this lady manner. They thought that we will be scared-cats.

Sally and Sam breathed in relief. I looked down and saw that the food had made my belly pop out. "Oh no!" "Why?" Sally asked me worried. "Do you think they would have noticed my belly? Sh**! I should have held it in." Sally laughed and said "No, I do not think so that they saw it." I was genuinely worried about my belly, I was keeping a very good image. Then finally Sam spoke, "You should be like Anna. You were so awesome that you talked with them without any fear." "Are you crazy? I was scared…" Sally nudged me and whispered, "Do not say that." And turned to Sam and said, "Yeah, You were cool."

The whole class were looking at us. Ninety percent of the girls over here hates that boys. Only some like Hannah talked and liked them. Then a gossip who is clearly the annoying guys friend came in to ask what happened as if she did not know. I gave her the exact answers I gave the boys. And I also added that they are crazy and how can I have time to look at them. And also swore at the people who have done it and added that we were in trouble because of those people. The gossip took the bait. I am sure that she will tell them the exact thing they wanted to hear.

Later that evening when the class finished. I slid my bag onto both my shoulders and walked out of the back door. Before I could pass through the door, a hand pulled be back in to the class by my arm. I lost by balance. The girl who pulled be held on to me making sure that I will not fall. I looked at who it was. It was the girl who wrote on the blackboard last week. She said, "thank you for not giving my name away" in native language. "I warned you. Did not I? Be careful next time. Do not worry your secret is safe with me."

I went to the classroom were many people hang out and sometimes they eat in groups. I went to meet up with one of the girl who promised me to give a novel to read. The classroom was almost empty. Except for two girls and the girl who was waiting for me. I took the book from her and saw the two girls writing on the board. I watched them write and they saw me and panicked. "I think you better erase it up before they see these writings. You might fall in to trouble." One of the girls spoke, "They have to see this and know that not all people like them." I sighed and said, "Suit yourself." I kept the novel on the table and read what they had written. From what I read I knew that they had bad blood. It was not new for me. I did not like them either. I accidently placed my hand on the floor's stage and hand got covered with chalk. I went out to wash my hands immediately. When I left the class, I saw Hannah walking to another class and she saw me coming out of the class with chalk dust on my hands. No wonder she thought that I wrote. Sally and Sam were not in the class. They went out to get some candies, which made them think that they were with me. I came back to the class and took my book and told them to hurry before the fangirls catch you red handed.

I went to the class and at the right moment Sally and Sam came in and shared their candies. I saw the two girls sitting in the class. And I turned my head to right to see the annoying guys going up the stairs. They will see it now or never. I counted to ten but they did not come down. Then later they came down with anger on their face and they looked in to our class. I pretended as if I do not know and Sally was cracking jokes so it was very natural.

After class was over. I went home and so did Sam. Sally waited till her ex-friends come. I nudged Sam to go with Sally to the street at least. Because I knew they will definitely ask Sally about the blackboard.

As I predicted the ex-friends were pushing Sally to the edge saying that they knew who wrote. She was dumbfounded. And Hannah revealed that they will come on the next week and ask us. That is when I prepared and did not tell anyone what actually happened.

After a month passed I told Sam and Sally. They were mad that I did not tell them. But if I had told them they would have told the boys who did it.
