They were immediately encircled by the students, and bombarded with questions upon questions.
"Why were you guys called into Principal Elvis's office?" a boy with freckles asked.
"What did Principal Elvis say?" a tall guy asked.
"Were you guys punished or penalized?" someone from the crowd asked.
"Was it because of the incident between Derek and you guys?" someone asked.
"Come on, answer us. Don't leave us hanging," the guy with freckles said.
Casper and his crew were startled by the avalanche of questions.
"Uhm! ..." Joe stuttered.
"Uhm! What? Come on spit it out, spit all the juice. Don't leave anything out, give us all the sauce," Amber Akin shouted with an impatient look on her face.
"Amber, you are such a gossip," someone from the crowd said.
"Fuck you, bitch, why the fuck are you here if you aren't a cheap gossip too?" Amber Akin said with a snort.
"Anyway, open up your mouth and spit out the sauce," she added.
"Alright, you all should fuck off, get your bitch, broke ass off my lawn," Cassie shouted with an irritated look.
"We are not going to let you guys off until, you tell us what transpired in Principal Elvis Kelvin's office," Amber Akin said with folded arms.
"Really?" Cassie asked with a raised eyebrow. "The next person who refuses to let us pass or ask us a dumbass question would get a black eye next!" Cassie threatened.
"You are just bluffing, you wouldn't do that," Amber Akin said.
"Then try me," Cassie said as she leaned in and stared down Amber Akin.
The short girl shivered, but then she got her confidence when she remembered that she was in a group.
"You wouldn't hit us, we are much more than you guys. Haven't you heard that there's strength in numbers? So you have no choice than to spit the information out," she said with a smug look.
"Who's we?" Amara asked with a smirk.
"Are you blind? I'm talking about the people behind me," Amber Akin said.
"Who?" Cassie asked again.
"Us...?" Her response quickly changed to a question as she turned around and saw that no one was behind her again.
She broke out into a cold sweat as she saw that she had been abandoned.
'Curses, these bastards got no back bones, they betrayed me. This is treason, treason I say!' she said internally as she broke out with sweat running down her face.
"You were saying?" Cassie said with a smirk.
"Uhm! Nothing," Amber Akin said as she scurried away frantically.
"Hmph!" Cassie snorted before continuing to walk.
The group walked together towards the cafeteria and got their food. After getting their food, they sat down on a bench as they ate and discussed.
"Damn, those people were lucky, I would have beaten the shit out of one of them to serve as an example to the rest," Cassie said in between bites.
"Cassie, table manners," Henry said.
"Fuck you, and fuck table manners, I do whatever I want," Cassie said with a huff.
"This cafeteria food is trash," Joe said.
"I thought I was the only one who thought so," Cassie said.
"It's not that the cafeteria food is bad, it's just that we have gotten used to Casper's and Mrs. Margaret's food that other food tastes far inferior to theirs," Henry said with a thoughtful expression.
"Yeah, and I blame Casper," Cassie said while glaring at Casper. "If only he brought food from home, we wouldn't have to eat this trash."
"Sorry guys, I forgot to bring the food," Casper said as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"What can we do? We have no other options but to manage this trash they called food," Cassie said with a sigh.
"The food ain't that bad," Casper said with a wry smile.
"What..." Cassie was about to say something when a voice cut her off.
"Well, well, well if it isn't the losers," Amara Nelson said as her goons laughed behind her.
"Yo, dumb bitch, I don't have time for you today, so why don't you do yourself a favor and fuck off," Cassie said.
"You bitch, watch how I cut your tongue out and feed it to you," Amara Nelson said with barely suppressed anger.
"Ah! Why does everything you say sound like shit? Oh! I think I know why; that's because what you say is actual shit," she said.
"Amara, please, we do not want any problems today," Joe said.
"Who the hell gave you the right to speak to me you dog?" Amara Nelson asked with a distasteful look.
"Hey, don't call him a dog, try being civilized," Henry said.
"Shut it, if the queen doesn't give you permission to speak, don't speak," one of Amara Nelson's goons shouted from the back, while the other agreed with her.
"Yeah, don't speak, you peasants," another one said.
"You should be happy that our goddess is standing in your presence, you trash," another one shouted.
Hearing what the others said, Amara Nelson smiled in joy. She loved when others praised her, when they worshipped and adored her.
Everyone in the school, both the teachers and students always praise her, but only these four fools refused to praise and worship her.
"Enough girls," she said and immediately her cohort kept quiet.
Amara Nelson stared down at them like they were worth nothing before asking a question.
"Why were you called into the office earlier?" she asked.
"And how is that your business?" Cassie asked back.
"Shut up, you fool, show some respect for the queen. If she asks you a question, answer her," one of Amara Nelson's goons shouted.
"I dare one of you motherfuckers to interrupt me again and see what happens," Cassie said.
"We are not afraid of you, Cassie," another of Amara Nelson's goons said.
"Oh! Really? Then I will show you what true fear is," Cassie said as she stood up.
Henry held Cassie back from standing up.
"Cassie, not all things can be solved through violence; I'm sure we could solve this amicably," Henry said.
Cassie contemplated for a while before allowing herself to be pulled down by Henry.
"It's good you listened to him, you guys should be good dogs and obey me," Amara Nelson said with a snort.
"Hey! Can you fuck off? You are polluting the air around here, the air reeks of your stupidity. Frankly, I can't believe someone can be as dumb as you are. Who the fuck do you think you are? God? And the worst of all are those brainless bitches behind you," Casper said with an angry tone.
The cafeteria gasped in shock at what Casper said.
Amara Nelson's face turned red from both anger and shame.
