Luella

Shen dropped Mika and Kai off in school, while classes went on a teacher suddenly stepped in and called Luella outside, after a few minutes a woman suddenly walked in. She adorned a black suit with high heels, her long hair looked messy and her eyes red as she made her way past the student.

All the students stood to their feet all except Kai whose eyes just followed her as she made her way to the back and stood in front of Mika, before the teacher could ask the woman landed a slap across his face.

Everyone was taken aback by this, she slapped him again and again but he didn't move or fight back, even though Mika practically towered over her he didn't fight back or step away from her as she assaulted him with continuous slaps on his face.

Everyone even the teacher watched stunned, the woman suddenly stopped and fell to the ground holding his shirt, she began to sob bitterly as she sat on the floor. Kai looked to see Mika, he had his fist clenched and he gritted his teeth as he bowed his head, his cheeks were red with finger marks on them.

"Please" she sobbed "Bring her back please" she cried out "Haven't you taken enough from us? Haven't you taken enough from Lu?" she asked in tears but Mika kept mute.

"Her dad is already dead wasn't that enough to satisfy you?" she asked in her teary state "You said she is your best friend yet you took everything away from her" she wailed "Give her back to me please... give my sister back to mee" the woman cried out.

Luella walked into the class to see her aunt wailing at Mika's feet, she slowly walked over to them and helped her up "Lu" her aunt said and cupped her cheek "You two are friends right?" she asked in tears "Tell him to give your mother back to us please" she said and clung to Luella "He'll bring her back if you asked nicely right?"

"Let's go aunt" Luella said in a low exhausted tone as she pulled her aunt along.

"Lu" Isabella called out.

Isabella stretched her hand to touch Luella but froze when Luella said "My mother's dead, her heart has stopped beating and she shall never see daylight again." Luella paused as she turned and looked at Mika "Do with this information whatever you will" she added before she left the class with her aunt.

The whole class was silent for a few minutes before the bell rang out indicating their normal break time. The student and teachers slowly exited the class leaving Mika and Kai alone in the class.

Mika slowly sat down, his back facing Kai, Kai watched as he brought out his lunch pack and ate quietly.

"Mika" Kai started but paused when Mika asked "Why are there cameras all over your house?" that question caught Kai off guard, he understood that Mika was trying to throw him off but of all the questions he didn't expect that one.

The class doors suddenly swung open and Luella and some of the other students walked in. Luella walked over to Mika "How can you eat with blood on your hands?" she asked in anger.

"Luella" Melanie called out to her but Luella ignored her.

Mika ignored them and continued eating, this irritated Luella "Are you deaf as well?" she asked and raised a hand to slap Mika, a hand suddenly wrapped around hers, stopping her from hitting him.

Luella turned to see Kai standing beside her, holding her hand in place. What shocked everyone was not the fact that he intervened but that didn't hear him stand up or even walk past any of them.

"You have all hit him enough" Kai said as he brought her hand down "Walk away" he simply said, surprising everyone.

"What?" Luella asked "You are siding with this murderer?"

"Who did you see him kill?" Kai asked dryly and Luella kept mute "Walk away before you have to crawl" he said staring down at her.

Isabella pulled Luella "Let's go Lu, it's enough" she said pulling at her.

They all left Mika and Kai and went to the front of the class, some other students entered the class and they all started talking Javier brought up the party they had in Isabella's place to lighten up the mood.

As the spoke about it, they all laughed and chatted, all except Luella who just gave them a dry smile from time to time.

"Hey, what would you do if an apocalypse were to suddenly happen?" Antoine asked

"Oh you are referring to the movie we watched at Bella's right?" Javier asked excitedly, they began sharing ideas on how they'd stock up on food and secure their houses.

"Did any of you stop to think what caused the apocalypse?" Melanie asked and they all looked at her "You are talking about stocking up on food, ammunitions, protecting yourselves and all that but what are you protecting yourselves from?" she added. "Is it a virus? Is it a war? Is it Zombies? Is it an invasion?"

"Javier, you want to rob a store and load up on electronic gadgets, how long do you think the power will last after you've surrounded yourself with tv screens, laptops and games, do you plan on eating them too?" Luella asked, "Eira you want food, what if the origin of the apocalypse was gotten from a bacteria in the food supply, or the water we drink everyday? How will you defend against that? You want to barrackade yourselves at home, what if it's an airborne infection? Will you stop breathing? What if its evolutionary?"

"Where do you wanna be when it happens?" Melanie asked as she looked at all the faces around her "At home? School? Church? Mosque?"

As Melanie spoke they all kept quiet till Isabella spoke up "Lance" she called out "Your nose is bleeding" she said, everyone looked to see Lance who was sitting among them bleeding from the nose.

"Are you oka-" Nour who wanted to ask of his well being suddenly paused when his Lance's head exploded.
