At Mara’s school
“I have warned you on several occasions to stop blocking my path.
If you try this next time then I might just forget my hand on your face Wendy” Mara pointed her index finger at a girl who should be older than her by a year or two.
“Firsty you shouldn’t ever call my name in such a manner and secondly I wouldn’t have to be blocking your path if you just stayed away from Oscar like I asked you.
I don’t know why it’s so difficult for you to understand?” Wendy folded her lips and pressed on them as she turned back to look at her four friends who stood behind her.
Mara rolled her eyes in disgust.. she just couldn’t believe that a girl so young had already begun to block the path of her fellow girl over a boy.
“Wendy I really think you should get your brains checked.. because something might be wrong with you but you are yet to find out” Mara rested her hand on the handle of her school bag as she wanted to walk past the girls but they created some kind of human wall, blocking her path.
“Sorry Mara but you have had enough warnings. Today I will have to teach you a lesson” Wendy smirked as she made wicked eye contacts with her friends.
“So let me get this straight. You waited all day for school to be over.. you are currently in detention and you gathered a bunch of morons to block my path because you want us to fight” Mara raised both her eyebrows as she tilted her head in disbelief.
“You can put it in any way your tiny brain can process it” Wendy was still being so stubborn as she insisted on fighting with Mara who just wanted to go home so she could be on time for her next delivery.
“Wendy, please get out of my way. I’m begging you… if you don’t I am going to be late for work and my boss isn’t going to be happy with me so please move” Mara was calm as she placed her two palms together and was begging this Wendy of a girl who really didn’t care if she was late for work or if work was late for her.
“Show her we aren’t joking” Wendy somehow ordered her friends as two of them tried to attack Mara but she just carefully slid to the left making them both fall on the floor.
“Relax Mara.. there is no need to beat her up. You don’t need to carry out a face surgery on her. You can do this.. you are bigger than this” Mara kept on breathing in and out as she whispered to herself.
She was trying everything she could not to touch this Wendy girl but Wendy raised her hand towards Mara in an attempt to slap her.
Mara held her hand in mid air and kicked her in the stomach before twisting Wendy’s arm and beding it towards her back while her other hand was wrapped around Wendy’s neck.
“Mara.. uuh.. ah.. you…uh.. going.. to.. kill.. me” Wendy kept on stammering as she struggled for air, she needed to breathe as it felt like Mara was strangling her and was about to kill her.
“Really??…. I want to kill you? I was walking peacefully on my own when you and these morons decided to block my path.
And when I pleaded with you to stay clear from me you just blocked your ears and now I fight back you say I want to kill you??” Mara was really fed up and she didn’t know how much of it she could take.
She had been restricting herself for too long and she just felt like strangling Wendy.
“Don’t you even think about it, four of you” she warned the girls who tried to come close to her to attack her.
No one needed to tell them to use their brains as they all moved back, creating a great distance between themselves and Mara.
They knew who Mara was and she wasn’t going to take any bullsh*t from nobody.
“M.. a.. ra” Wendy struggled to free herself from Mara’s grip but she was too strong for her. It felt like she was being pinned down by a metal hand or something.
“I am not a bad person so I am going to leave you off with a warning this time but the next time you even think about such. I promise to become your worst nightmare and also your worst enemy” Mara whispered in Wendy’s ear giving Wendy goosebumps all over.
She threw Wendy to the floor and picked up her school bag before walking away. She stopped when she got to a distance.
“Oh and tell that Oscar of a guy to stay away from me as well. I don’t have the strength for the nonsense you guys are doing okay.. bye” she waved at Wendy before leaving.
Mara’s POV
“You are late…again” Keren scolded me as she sat on the bed of the hotel.
“I’m sorry” I tried to apologize.
“What’s your excuse this time?” She rolled her eyes and picked up a newspaper before she crossed her legs.
“Well I…” I wanted to explain but she just waved her hands in the air without taking her eyes off the newspaper.
“It’s okay.. I don’t want to hear it anyways. Now I want you to listen to me carefully.
This isn’t just an ordinary delivery because you will be going close to the border” she looked up at me to check if I was paying attention which clearly I was not.
“Mara!” She called out.
“Are you sure you want to make this delivery today?” She asked as it looked like I lacked the confidence.
“Yes… just run through what I need to do” I shook my head trying to clear my mind of the unnecessary thoughts I was having.
“How do you want me to do that when you aren’t even paying attention to me? What’s on your mind now?” Keren raised her voice a little as she wanted to sound as gentle as she used to and I could tell that she was getting frustrated.
“I’m sorry ma’am Keren…. What I am thinking isn’t important and I promise I’m listening so just tell me what I need to do” I assured her as I focused all my attention on her and listened to her while she talked.
