A NEW FRIEND AND NAME

Why would Ella call Darifa of all people her friend, it shocked everyone to their bones but Asma was most offended.

"Oh! She is now your friend after almost killing you?"Emerens says and laughs hysterically.

"You guys should stop it and just leave me in peace."Darifa pleads.

"Or what?"

Jessica asks moving really close to Ella and Darifa, Ella wasn't having any of it so she stood against her. This time around they were standing opposite each other with their eyes burning red.

The students immediately stopped eating, focusing on the scene before them. They whispered to themselves again.

"She just resumed back to school today, why is she trying to cause another trouble?"

"This Ella girl is surely a brave one."

"I like her spirit and motivation."

Asma and Abdullah were afraid as they rushed to Ella with the aim of stopping her, but their plan wasn't successful as they were stopped by Emerens.

Emerens stamps her feet on the floor to halt the duo and it worked, they halted in fear. "What are you trying to do? Meddle in a business that doesn't concern you?"

"Ella has successfully destroyed the system of this school, some people don't seem to know their place anymore." Jessica scoffs. "And I am going to put the school system back in order."

"You are the direct opposite of your name." Ella says, although it sounded a bit off the track but it still had a sensible meaning. "Your name means rich but your body mind and soul is so poor."

Ella managed to always embarrass Jessica whenever she likes. The students couldn't hold back their laughter.

Jessica was embarrassed but she clears her throat and acts as if nothing was wrong. "If you want to make friends, do it with some high class people, not bunch of losers." She smirked at Asma, Abdullah and Darifa after the statement and everyone in the canteen understood the message.

"Mind what you say to my friends." Ella warns. "You are the real looser, get a life and be balance mentally, you piece of trash."

"Really? You calling me all these names because of these things you call friends?" Jessica asks and Ella nods in agreement. "Alright, enjoy your in the trash where you truly belong."

Jessica says and walks out like the queen she always wanted to be and her disciple followed. The students chats over the scene that just happen and continue eating.

This phase of life was a breakdown for Darifa, it was written all over her face. Ella noticed it and pitied her.

"Hey, grab your food and let's and go eat over there." Abdullah says pointing to where he and Asma sat a while ago. "You can eat with us now."

Written all over Asma's face was annoyance and being offended, she did well to hide it but Ella noticed it all. They all settled on the table Abdullah proposed earlier and started eating.

Ella was the first to hear it, maybe because she was sitting close to her, then Abdullah and Asma too. Darifa was sobbing.

"You shouldn't cry, you have me now." Ella tries to comfort her as she pats her on her back.

"You have me too." Abdullah says stretching out an handkerchief to her. "You can be our friends now, since you have turned a new leaf."

Darifa wipes her tears off with the handkerchief and managed to give a smile.

"You people shouldn't be afraid of those girls again, I am here for you." Ella fumes.

"Yes boss." Asma and Abdullah chorused. The four of them laughed and for a moment, they all seemed happy.

"We are friends now, Darifa. We should always count on each other, have each other's back and be real and sincere to each other." Ella suddenly faces Asma. "Right Asma?"

Asma was quite for a while which got everyone somehow worried, then she finally spoke. "Yes, we are friends."

Ella smiles, knowing that Asma wasn't okay with it and she was definitely hiding something.

"Oh well, Ella I have something to say to you." Abdullah says cutting Ella off her thoughts.

"What is that?"

"You seem different from us, and after I thought of it well, I realized your name was the issue."

"Really?" Ella asks with smiles.

"Yes." Abdullah nods. "Your name is quite different from ours, so I decided to give you a Burundi name, Azara."

Miss smith fell in love with name immediately, maybe it was because of the way Abdullah mentioned the name.

"Azara?" Darifa calls and Ella answers immediately. "Wow, you have started answering the name so soon."

Everyone burst into laughter except Asma, it was obvious she wasn't okay with the new development but she kept on pretending as if she was cool with it.
