Chapter 31 - Confrontation

Warning: Mentions of racism in this chapter.

ZEKE'S POV

The school tour was almost over and we were on our way to the canteen, the last place I needed to show her and where we were going to eat lunch when my worst fear happened. Sage found drama and she was not going to back down.

Rosetta, the school's self-entitled Queen Bee, and her six minions were surrounding three dark-skinned girls, two were a lighter shade of brown and the third girl was a rich dark brown, this one is the younger sister of one of Diesel's friends. This won't end well... Rosetta for some reaction has been a racist bitch since she was little. Everyone in her little squad is light-skinned and blond, no one without those characteristics is allowed in her quad. Even Rosetta's own sister, who has brown hair and freckles is mistreated by them. As you can see she is a big A+ bitch.

"Sage, don't intervene." I stop her when she started walking towards the surrounded girls and whisper, trying to keep her away from trouble.

"Like hell, I won't. My mama raised me right and I may be a killer Zeke, but I still take my mama's teachings to heart. And racism is one thing I despise the most." She whispered back and got lose of my hold, taking long purposeful strides towards the circle formed by Rosetta's minions.

Sage pushed her way through Rosetta's minions and stepped in front of Rosetta, putting herself between Rosetta and the girls, more precisely in front of Rosetta and Francesca, the sister of one of Diesel's friends.

"Che diavolo sta succedendo qui!? (What the hell is going on here!?)" Rosetta frowned at Sage and pursued her lips in a scowl.

"Togliti di mezzo e fatti gli affari tuoi! A meno che tu non voglia sentire la mia ira! (Get out of the way and mind your own business! Unless you want to feel my wrath!)" Rosetta yelled, utterly outranged with Sage's audacity to interrupt her 'play time'. Sage's eyes took a crazed glint at Rosetta's last words and she started cackling like a maniac. The way she was squirming in laughter, no one could tell she is pregnant, if I hadn't known her personally I would think she is just crazy. She looks like the Sage I saw on the ring. Adrenalin running high and a thirst for blood like no other.

I have to stop her.

"Oh, ragazzina... sei così divertente! Credi davvero che una bambolina come te potrebbe spaventarmi? Il tuo sforzo è stato carino ma patetico. (Oh, little girl... You're SO funny! Do you really think a little dolly like you could scare me? Your effort was cute but pathetic.)" Sage spoke the whole time with an animated smile and even examined her nails in between words but when she got to her last sentence... She looked Rosetta straight in the eyes, scowled, and sneered the word patetico (pathetic) with so much venom that even Rosetta's minions took a step back intimidated.

"Sei bella e crudele. Ti voglio nella mia squadra. Vedo che ti troverai bene. Dovrai smetterla di proteggere questi farabutti, però, o rovinerai tutto il mio divertimento. (You're beautiful and cruel. I want you in my squad. I can see you'll fit in well. You'll have to stop protecting these scoundrels, though or you'll ruin all my fun.)" And just like that, Rosetta turns her back on Sage and click's her fingers to signal to her minions that they're leaving.

Sage gives me an is-she-for-real look and sneers at Rosetta's retracting figure. I walk towards Sage and join her watching Rosetta go away.

"Is she demented?" Sage asks me with a straight face, making the girls behind us laugh. I crack a small smile at Sage's question and shook my head softly. This will bring us a lot of trouble in the near future, I can already tell.

"Something like that." I answer and Sage nods her head.

"I thought so too." She mutters with a distasteful look on her face.
