Chapter 13

"Please tell me you got us food. "Was the first thing Hassan uttered to Williams the moment he got to the cafeteria.

Williams Jiddena raised an eyebrow at him amusedly. "Well hello to you too friend.I'm doing absolutely fantastic,thanks for asking." He rolled his eyes.

"Cut the bullshit,I'm super hungry right now and I'm not in the mood to play. " Hassan grumbled taking a seat next to Williams, and a very quiet Anuoluwa. He dug into Williams's food without warning and dished a full spoon into his mouth. Williams stared speechless and wide mouthed at him as he continued to eat his food without any remorse.

Anu for the first time made a sound. A small chuckle escapes his lips as he watched Hassan and Williams with slight amusement flashing in his eyes.

"Dude! That's my food! Go get your own for damn sake. " Williams recovered from his shock and dragged the plate of rice from Hassan,snatching the spoon from him as well. "Rubbish."

"Hi boys ". Sylvie Hussein sat next to Anu who smiled slightly at her in greeting.

Kelly, Evaurere, Rachelle and Kasim follow suit,taking their respectful seats around the table.

"Here Hassan,your food " Sylvie handed the boy a food tray. The latter smiled brightly in return.

"Thank you, Sylvie. That's why I love you." As if planned,the rest of the gang rolled their eyes at the same time at his comment.

"YOU PIG!." Sylvie flinched, and the rest of them at the table let out a long sigh.

"Here we go again." Kasim mumbled under his breath. By now the whole cafeteria was busy staring at the scene. A very angry Saada glaring at a very terrified Bela,her hands shaking as she holds the tray in her hands.

"Oh em gee,LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE YOU PIG!. DON'T YOU HAVE EYES?,CAN'T YOU LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING?.ARE YOU BLIND?!." Saada yelled. Bela flinched back and a few students got up from their seats to get a better view.

"I can't believe I'm going to the same school with a bush girl like you.NOW LOOK AT THIS MESS!." She let out a scream that made everyone to cover their ears with horrified looks on their faces.

"Jesus." Evaurere stared at Saada with horror.

"That is enough,Saada!." All head turned to the source of the voice. Haleema Sanusi walked into the scene,an annoyed look on her face.

"You're making a scene, can't you see?." Haleema said standing in front of the shaking girl in a protective stance." What happened was clearly a mistake. She didn't do it internationally,so stop trying to make a big deal out of it!."

"She knows what she did!."

"Shup up,Saada!." Haleema fired back,eyes blazing in anger. She pointed towards the exit door. " Go cool yourself down. And I don't want you bullying this girl again,you hear me?."

Saada glared at her sister, then at Bela. She screamed again, stormed out, stomping her feet towards the exit. She yelled out a "MOVE " to the girls standing by the entrance and pushed the poor girls away,both of them stumbling in, almost falling flat on their faces. Both girls turned to stare at the retreating figure with their mouths gaping,then their eyes slowly narrowing slits at her figure.

Bitch.

Bela pressed her lips together, staring downwards at her wasted food with tears threatening to spill from her eyes.

"Don't let what she says get to you." Bela raised her head to stare at the Muslimah girl. Haleema offered her a sympathetic smile, giving her a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder before returning back to her seat. Bela sighed, dropping the tray back with the lunch lady,then walked out of the cafeteria.

Once again,Saada Sanusi had managed to embarrass her in front of the whole school.

Evaurere twisted her body to face the exit, watching as the sad girl walked out of the room. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Saada likes to exaggerate things sometimes.

She sighed, turning back around to her previous position. "Poor girl."

No one said anything in return. But they were all feeling the same way.

They all felt sorry for her. She didn't deserve being treated that way.

Infact,no one deserved being treated like an outcast. Insulted and mocked everyday.

Heaven knows how she does it. How she's able to take in all the insults. How she isn't trying to murder Saada Sanusi at this point.

But who knows.

Maybe one day. Maybe. She'd finally snap and stand up for herself.

This wasn't a battle for them to fight for her.

This was her battle.

"Yes sir,I understand but...she...She can't leave school until closing... We will try to calm the situation,sir." Zahara Skyy stared at her vice principal, as she talked on the phone with one of her student's parents.

"Ehn,let her come home please. I've already sent the driver to come pick her." The man said,his northern accent coming out strong.

"She is so upset. And I don't think she can concentrate in class anymore." Both ladies locked gazes and shook their heads in disbelief.

"Okay sir." Belinda Bakare sighed, hanging up. She turned to the teacher."Saada again"

Zahara sighed." That girl is a real drama queen. Just because of a little accident she went to report to her father?."

"I can't wait for that girl to graduate out of this school honestly. I cannot wait. Her wahala is simply too much for me." She huffed, getting up from her seat. "Lemme go find out if she's okay,so I can prepare her for pick up"

"Look!Saada's by the gate." Zendaya Ntia exclaimed, and Muna ran to where the girl was standing with two other girls following suit. A series of hisses traveled around the classroom by the others.

"Bet you,they're going to send her back to the classroom." Kasim said and his seatmate,Hassan laughed in agreement." Spoilt brat. "
