*CHAPTER SIX*
   _STUFF_

                   ***
"What did you just call me?". She asked again as she charged towards me. I thought I could stop her from giving me the intended slap but she was way too fast _damn!_ I felt the loud thunderous slap across my left cheek. I felt like a loosed a bit of my consciousness for a few seconds. I blinked my eyes rapidly to regain consciousness but I still couldn't see correctly or think of what next to do either.  Everywhere felt blurry and my eyes were dancing inside the sockets already.

"If you ever dare to call me Natasha or bitch again I will personally make your life miserable. She faked a smile of triumph and started walking away until she stopped. I thought she was thinking of reviving me with another slap but she said instead;  "so you know, no student calls me Natasha. If by any means you want to call my name, call me Tasha. Is that clear?".

" See her, she's doesn't even  have ass or breast. She is just flat front and back like the letter, 'I'. If only she learns to shut her mouth up, maybe something would grow". One of the girls in Natasha's clique hissed as they walked away. I just stood there fathoming what to do amidst the tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Riele I'm so sorry, I should have warned you about Tasha's gang, come let's eat". I heard Steph say. I shook my head and sat down. Eat? She wanted me to eat with all that had happened before her very eyes it sounded funny to me. Every ounce of hunger pangs tearing at me few minutes ago had disappeared. All I wanted to do was to stop crying and go home. I was tired of the school already. I said the universe had decided to turn it's back on me that day and it wasn't relenting on making me feel worse.

"Stephanie, you can go alone. I don't feel like eating anymore". I said. One thing I detested in my entire life was being embarrassed. If only I had just allowed her to pass by without saying a word, if I didn't let my emotions control the situation I would have been happily eating in the cafeteria.

I quietly sat down staring into nothingness. If my father made money the normal way,  I would have been listening to Danielle's blabbering.

"Hey". I wiped my eyes furiously and turned my face to look at the petite girl.

"What is it again?". I asked angrily. Why couldn't I be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet without someone barging to disturb me.

"I'm sorry for bothering you, I saw what Tasha did to you. A pause. She seemed to be observe me to know if she could go on she confirmed in affirmative and went on. It was really uncalled for especially since it's your first day at this school. She made an attempt to leave then she turned "Also I'm sorry about what Temi said to you. It was wrong as well nobody should make fun of other people's body features". She smiled sweetly.

"Who's Temi?". I asked politely.

" My cousin she's the girl that said  all those mean stuff to you".

"Oh!". I said trying to clean my face with my hand towel. I was an emotional wreck and I hated myself for that. I thought I had gone over crying over little things. I despised myself for crying on my first day of school.

"Yeah, so what's your name?". She asked as she sat next to me.

"I'm Riele". I replied.

"You have a nice name, I'm Diamond". She said, although I did not ask her.
