I held my bag tighter with my heart beating fast.
“Even after you ran after delvin, you are still sneaking like a thief to Lexy thinking he will give you his attention”
“Anita please stop” I begged quietly.
“Did you say stop? Stop what exactly? you this dirty slut!”
“Oh you think if you allow Lexy kiss you he will leave me and go after you? You’re dumb joker Kelsi said smirking.
I fought back the tears that was desperately trying to come out of my eyes, looking around I saw Lexy looking at us resting on his desk.
Delvin was anxiously looking at me.
“He can never have anything for you ugly bitch! You’re liar, shameless and sluty! Are you not ashamed of yourself Kelsi?” She asked walking closer to me.
“… he kissed you at Collins birthday party and what are you feeling like? After you forced yourself on him. Huh?”
I bent my head in shame, so Lexy told her what happened and even lied?
Everyone gasped! I could clearly hear the Murmurs from every corner of the classroom. What? OMG!! Lexy and Kelsi?
At collins’s birthday party? Loud whispers were coming out.
Drawing nearer to me she shook her head ‘ Now I see you took after your good for nothing mother who’s a slut like you, cheap selling her body so you can come out of your poverty stricken life”
“Tak Tsk! No wonder you lied to everyone so you can feel among, but you really are the ugly monkey he called you”
Laughter erupted.
My eyes met with hers, anger surging through me.
I held my fist to calm myself.
“You’re shame to womanhood Kelsi! You and your mother deserve not to live among us, go to where you belong you this daughter of a thousand father!”
My hand made contact with her face as I slapped her hard.
Everyone gasped!
I too was surprised at my action.
“How dare you! How dare you talk about my mum that way?”
How dare you Anita?
Shocked eyes met my bloodshot eyes with hot tears rushing out.
“How dare you? Are you any better?” I asked angrily raising my hand to slap her hard again, when a strong hand held me firmly.
I turned and saw it was Lexy.
“Stop please” He said softly.
I hissed yanking my hands off him.
“Stop?” I scoffed, turning to look at him clearly.
” you want to continue from where she stopped?”
Are you not tired of hurting me lexy?
What have I done to you?
I noticed everywhere was quiet, I could hear the beat of my heart.
“Yes! Iam the daughter of a maid!…”
“… I lost my dad, this was not how my life was, do you know anything about suffering? Do you know what it is like to live in a mansion and the next day you find yourself sleeping on the street?
I was shaking, my voice was rising.
“Answer me, do you know what it feels like to work for someone just to get little food and where to lay your head?” I wiped the tears rushing out of my eyes with the back of my hands.
Looking at the class, ” Do you know what it is like to pretend for you to be accepted?”
“Do you know what it feels like to get your first kiss from the one you first love and at the end he toyed with your feelings?”
“Do you?? Do you?” I screamed at them.
I turned to Lexy smiling through my tears, “No you don’t, and you know why?”
“Because everyone of you were born with a golden spoon, y’all have everything you wanted, so you can trample on anyone like trash and go Scott free, you’re the most popular and handsome boy in school so you don’t care about anyone feelings, damn you Lexy!! Damn you!” I angrily hit him on the chest.
“I hate you so much Lexy Ideh and I don’t want to ever see you again.”
He stood there with undescribable facial expressions looking at me, I cried falling on my knees.
He bent to touch me.
“Leave her alone!” Delvin warned sternly.
“Leave us alone delvin’ Lexy voice came out hard and thick.
“No way I’m going to do that Lexy”, delvin fired back.
I felt sick.
“Kelsi stand up let’s get out of here”, delvin pulled me up gently.
Lexy with anger yank delvin’s hand from mine.
