Afreeah

Chapter-6 we are here for you

We arrived at the hospital which we are practically living in right now, me and Maryam went to eat and we brought some vegetables for mom, because she had to eat healthy food. "Afreeah zo" mom said,
I came up to her and replied naam, with a smile,mom said I love you so much and I hope you'll always be here for me, " what do you mean mom we are always going to be here for you" we all smiled,not knowing that smile will vanish soon.

Next morning,
I got ready for school and Maryam dropped me off at school when I entered I was going to look for ishah for her to  explain what she meant, then suddenly ishah  came up to me from no where and gave me a slap across the face, she glaired at me and said "you little poor witch stay awway from my Hussein okay and if you don't you'll see the other side of me and wished you never knew me" I was so shocked that I stood there while she walked awway with saeema,marwa and ummulkairi, then I said,my life is officially over now I don't have a best friend, I felt like crying but I didn't I went to the bathroom and washed my face promising myself I would never get a best friend again or allow any one to bully me ever again, I went over to ishah while she was talking to them marwa I turned her around and gave her a tight slap, marwa sat there looking shocked with the rest of her gang members,they began to insult me that why would I slap thier member, of course I didn't care at all, I left with them saying that they will revenge.

Break time,
I went to the bathroom to wash  my face
And in my mind I said " oh God I have become a baddie, but I actually like my self this way now no one can bully me" I smirked and left. I was eating when marwa came up to me with her gang they all pored blended rotten cheese, expired milk and dirty water on me at the same time I was shocked when I saw ishah pouring the spoilt milk on me, I was disappointed at her but I stoop up and pushed all of them awway one by one, I went to her dirty bin carried it and poured it on them and the best part was that someone threw up inside the dirty bin, and ishah's mouth was open so it entered her mouth, " try messing with me now idiots" I told them and I left happily even though I smelt for the whole day.

Closing time,
Maryam came to pick me up and smelt  me her face looked like she was going to throw up, she asked me what happened but with me being a baddie now ignored her and hissed then I started using my phone. When we reached home Maryam asked me what was wrong but I did not answer her and I gave her attitude she then pulled me back slapped me and started beating me up, I started crying when she took me to mom,and mom said
" Afreeah please answer don't allow her to kill you please my child" but still I pushed Maryam awway and hugged mom and cried even though I smelt terrible, mom told me to go take a shower.

I took a shower then when I came out with towel I saw Maryam waiting for me outside with a belt I knew what she was going to do so I just prepared my self, she came up to me pulled me and said " you better tell me what happened today at school or what you did or else I will flog the hell out of you" I hissed and said "just leave me alone you witch" then Maryam lost it,she began to flog me any how i even  fell on the floor and she kept on slapping me, she hit my head on the wall and asked my again,I gave her attitude  and then she dragged me outside she romoved my  towel, she then got hot water put iron inside for some minutes, I was so scared but I did not let it show.
Maryam took the iron out of the water and pressed it on my chest I screamed while saying everything that happened, she then removed it from my body, I began to cry and cry and cry I looked at myself and saw scares on my body and ran inside,I went and took a cold shower I sat down in the tub with ice and pressed it on my chest I  did not even know what to do, I slept off in the tub and the next morning Maryam came up to me and wanted to carry me from the tub but then I refused, I then realized that she broke my ankle, I limped over to the bed and sat down, Maryam came up to me and said I'm sorry for yesterday I was upset about what happened to mom and I poured all my anger on you please forgive me, I looked at her and stoop up, I then said I will never forgive you for what you did,Maryam you scared me I cried, then I left to dress for school, I decided to walk to school so I carried my bag and left.
