"My ability to tolerate your silly pranks has maxed out," Maya said. With hands on her waist, she glared at Frida.
"What are you talking about?" Farida glared back at her.
"Don't play dump. You switched my notebooks. I couldn't do my homework!" Maya all but shrieked.
Chatters stopped, and everyone in the classroom looked at them. They were standing at the back, glaring at each other. Maya's grade were already bad and all the pressure was getting to her. It had been weeks since she noticed someone messing with her things. Missing books, wrong homework or notebook in her bag, and many small things like that. At first, she thought she was being forgetful, but now she wasn't so sure. She had never really cared about Frida's hatred towards her, yet she couldn't let her get away with everything. Everyone had their limits, and Frida just crossed the line.
Sarah and Sarosh rushed to intervene. "What's wrong?" They looked at Maya with concern. She was trying not to start crying and Frida didn't look guilty at all, but before either of them could answer, Miss Janet entered the room and took in the scene.
"Girls, take your seats," Miss Janet reproached. As the girls sat down, she looked at Maya and Farida. In a much softer tone, she said, "You two will partner up for our next lab project."
