Still at Mia’s school
Mia couldn’t even wait for Jones to get to where she stood before she slammed her locker and walked away.
She was walking so fast that it almost felt like she was running. Jones knew that chasing after her would be the worst idea ever as he went back to where he left his friend.
“I told you she was a very bad choice” Nathan tapped Jones on his shoulder as he pressed his lips and shook his head.
“Just shut up okay” Jones walked away, he looked more sad than angry.
The next day at Mia’s school
Lakshmi’s POV
I blew some air into my cheek as I played with my hair while I sat on my desk waiting for Mia.
The classroom door wasn’t closed and I could see what was going on. Mia was trying to enter the classroom and a very cute guy was coming from the opposite direction when he bumped into her.
I didn’t find it strange that Mia tried her best to avoid eye contact with this guy because, well, that’s just Mia. But when I had my suspicions was when Mia turned around to look at him and he also tried to look at her after they have walked a distance from each other.
A big smile rested on my face as I focused my eyes on the door until the devil itself walked in before Mia could, I looked at Alyssa with disgust.
Mia comfortably walked passed her.
Alyssa just sat on her desk reading a textbook, if she wasn’t pretending. I couldn’t even wait for Mia to sit as I dragged her to sit down when she was close enough.
“So tell me everything that happened” I looked at her like a puppy waiting for a treat.
“Happened? Where?” Mia looked very confused and I couldn’t tell if she was just putting in an act to avoid the topic or if she was genuinely confused, but it wasn’t in Mia’s nature to lie so I just assumed that she wasn’t really sure of what I was asking her.
“I am talking about you and that senior. What’s up with you guys?” I asked again this time, making my question crystal clear.
“Nothing” Mia pressed her lips and shook her head.
“Mia, you aren’t hiding anything from me are you because..” I was interrupted by the noise the class was making.
Apparently someone just sent a video to everyone in class. I also got the message so I opened it.
The video showed how Mia nervously walked away from the same guy I was talking about.
I looked at everyone in class to check who it was that could have taken such a video and my gaze fell on no other person than Alyssa.
She was smirking to herself as she also found the video amusing. I could see how everyone laughed at Mia, they tried so much to hide their laughter but they couldn’t. I wanted to stand up and punch someone when Mia held me back.
“What do you want to do?” She looked up at me as he sat on her chair and I stood above her.
“I want to teach this guy a lesson he won’t forget so easily” I pointed at a particular boy in class whose laughter annoyed me the most out of everyone else’s.
“How many people are you going to fight after him?” Mia asked me again but this time she tilted her head towards the right. While she was still holding my hand, preventing me from doing anything.
“Sit down. I am not bothered about it, I am more interested in the reason why you didn’t show up at school yesterday” Mia pulled me down and made me sit on my chair but that didn’t stop me from sending the boy killer eyes.
“So tell me why were you were absent from school yesterday?” Mia focused on me.
“I wasn’t really feeling good and that Emily just had to make my day worse” I confessed even without knowing.
“Emily?? Who is Emily?” Mia asked and she was surprised due to my sudden outburst.
“Emily is my brother’s girlfriend” I rolled my eyes. It disgusted me just saying it.
“So now that your brother has a girlfriend, do you still feel like you are in love with him?” Mia asked me and her question almost made me throw up.
“Eww! Of course not” I replied, squeezing my face as if I just had something that was very bitter.
Alyssa’s POV
I was so angry, why wouldn’t I be ? When those two girls were talking and smiling as if nothing happened, I really didn’t expect this. I expected them to be sad, maybe panicking but this Mia is just too much even for me.
I just h*te her with every drop of blood in me. I still don’t know the reason mum didn’t let me end her life when I had the chance to. I touched my neck and it was bare all because of Mia, mum had taken my necklace from me. Now I was just left with very little power as I had not mastered my spells well.
While she still had her own and it hung gloriously around her neck. Now it wasn’t just about getting the necklace for mum.
The issue had completely turned into something personal and I just couldn’t stand the sight of Mia or her nosy friend Lakshmi. They both irritated me.
I felt someone take something from me and I looked at my hands to find out my classmate had snatched my water bottle away.
“Why did you??..” I was asking but paused suddenly when I had a wet feeling.
My water had poured everywhere, was I so lost in thoughts that I couldn’t even drink my water properly? These girls were seriously driving me crazy and I didn’t like being their passenger. I pressed my lips as I looked around and felt embarrassed.
“Here you go” the girl who snatched the water bottle from you handed me a face towel to clean up, which I did.
“Thank you” I managed to smile and go get a mop to clean the water that had spilled on the floor. I really couldn’t believe that two common girls could manage to turn me into a cleaner.
