Mariah's POV.
After I hung up the phone, I wished I didn't. I felt like I was being a little to harsh on her.
But Grace makes my blood boil.
What I didn't understand was why did she follow Aniya in the first place? It just doesn't sit right with me. And what I don't get, is that Aniya just let it slide past her.
Whatever I'm going to sleep.

Monday rolls around, I'm in the hallway and I see Aniya for the first time today.
"Good morning Mariah." She says looking a little worried.
"Good morning, Ani-" I stop remembering we're in school. "Mrs Parker..." I correct myself.
Her eyes widen as I almost say her name while other teachers walk by. She grabs my arm softly, pulling me into her classroom, closing the door behind me.
"What the hell was that, Mariah? You almost said my name in front of other teachers!"
"Look, I'm sorry okay? It just slipped out. And it's not like I said it."
"Mariah," she starts, controlling her breathing. I wasn't so sure on why she was this mad and this scared.
"Just be careful, okay? Im being serious. That could get us in serious trouble. I could loose my job, possibly."
I put my hands on her cheeks, smiling, "Hey, you're okay. No one's gonna find out okay? Just calm down, deep breaths."
"I know, I know. I'm so sorry." She says. "I don't know why I was acting like that just now... I was just paranoid, I guess. But you're right. It's gonna be okay. No one's going to find out."
"See?" I say, brushing my thumbs on her cheeks. "We'll be okay. I'll see you later."
I walk out of her class room then let out a big sigh of relief. I'll admit, I was scared too. We couldn't get caught and I don't want her to go to jail. Not because of me...
I walk down the hall, and as I'm walking down, I see Page cross the corner as I'm crossing. Then we bump into each other.
"Watch where you're going." I say wiping my shirt off looking her up and down.
"Excuse me, " She says. "But I wouldn't be the bitch you're being right now, Mariah."
"Excuse me? Who are you calling a bitch?"
"Look, just get out of my way. It's not that hard." She says as she pushes my shoulder causing me to tumble over a bit.
"The fuck is your problem, Page?"
"I don't want any trouble," she says then turns around "but if you wanna start a problem, I wouldn't. Really, I don't think you wanna know what I know. Okay? So just stay out of my way. And like I said, shouldn't be that hard, yeah?" She said then walks off to Aniya's room.
"Bitch." I say under my breath.
And with that she walks into Aniya's room.
'Weird' I thought.
