Chapter Nine:
Another Day
Lara decides to be careful as much as possible so that no one will ask her about her world. She does not want anyone to know what she has been through or what she has been through...
Lara sits in the classroom next to Nada and the others have Rose to sit next to her too
Nada starts talking to Rose: Why did you sit here???!! This is not your nature...
Rose disapproved: my nature???!!!
Nada: Yes, you are... you are always introverted. You don't talk to anyone...
Rose: Who told you that... are you watching me??
Nada: I am watching you when I am watching you??!! Are you a famous person???
Rose: You don't like me... that's why I didn't talk to you...
Nada: I didn't like you. Do you know me and treat me to say these words?
Rose: I'm dealing with you ... I wasn't mistaken, you don't like me...
Nada: Who do you think you are, this one.. you also don't like me.... Nada stands to prepare to hit her and exchange her. Rose ready to hold Salim Nada and Lara hold Rose so that they don't fight...
Lara: Stop it...
Selim happens to Nada: What's going on with you? You hit everyone you meet...
Nada and she turned to him .... Do you mean that I am a violent person ....
Selim, looking frightened: No, of course not... I mean her ... He points his finger at Rose...
Rose looks at him in anger: I'm a violent person??? Do you know me, this... Ah, you take the side of your sister. No wonder you two are similar in appearance and temperament...
It seems that she threw a bomb in Nada's face, which turned red.... She screamed that you are among the dead who look like who I am so much more beautiful than him..How do you look like a boy. ???!!!
Lara to herself: I knew that she would hate for someone to say about her that she was almost healthy, I almost died a while ago...
With the teacher's entry, the two calmed down and sat without talking next to Lara, who smiled and said to herself, It seems to be the beginning of a funny friendship...
*****
Lara turned around to see Sidra, who was sitting in the corner of the classroom, and she looked sad....
Lara couldn't do anything for her... but she felt frustrated and sad for her friend...
Lunch comes again and everyone heads to the dining hall to notice that Lara has rushed away to sit in the same place she sat yesterday....
Lara goes to the dining hall and buys extra food
She tells Rose and Nada that she is going to go outside for a bit....
Lara is sitting next to her friend Sidra
Sidra: Why are you sitting here???!!! You gotta get away from here.. I don't want to see you..
Lara: You shouldn't be like this...
Sidra: Who are you to tell me that??? I do not know you ...
Lara: I know, but you haven't eaten anything and you look very tired...
Sidra: It's none of your business... Mind your own business...
Sidra was all the time avoiding looking at Lara...
Lara: I hope you eat something...
Lara leaves some food next to her and enters to sit with Nada, Rose, Zain, Selim and Majed.... It seems as if they have become friends....
Everyone started talking together and sometimes you find their voices getting louder and often the sounds of their laughter...
Lara to herself: I am so grateful to hear these voices and laughter....what a comforting feeling....
After finishing, and on her way to class, Sandy and Suzy stop her...
Sandy: Hello... I'm Sandy...
Suzy: I'm Suzy
Lara: You're welcome... Jane, my name is Jane...
Laughing.... Sandy: We know... you're Hye Jin...
Suzy: Of course we know... we're friends...
Lara: Really... that's great...
Sandy: We used to always meet and greet each other and talk a lot...
Lara: Really... it makes me so happy...
Suzy: What a pity class will start. We'd like to talk more together... We missed talking to you a lot...
Lara: Of course we are friends...
They laugh together and everyone enters the classroom...
Despite the long day and Lara feeling some pressure, she became more comfortable than before and started interacting with everyone..
