She's The Winning Piece

Chapter 22: "I pitied Ayisha"

After Ayisha left, Amelia left too after minutes of awkward silence. I never knew Ayisha had this ride to her.

But what can I say? You shouldn't push people to their limits.

Diana sat down and looked worried. Probably just thinking of what just happened.

"Um.. D, what did Amelia do to Ayisha before this day?" I sat next to her. "Jas, this is not the time" she replied me.

"Oh no when's the time, uh? Y'all just want to continue keeping me in the dark. For what?" I say to her.

"I'm sorry Jas but now's not the time" she says.

"Well, fuck this and screw you" I yell and walk out of the room to find answers.

I go to the field to calm myself and I see Josh sitting there. He's probably waiting for Isaac or something.

He spots me and waves. He pats a spot next to him, indicating I should come. I smile in response as I move forward.

"Jas darling, how you been?" he smiles as I sit next to him. "I've been doing good. You?" I ask him.

"I'm alright. So, what brings you here?" he asks me. "Can't I come to my school's field anymore?" I laugh.

"Jas. We both know there's something up. You look bothered or rather worried. What's up?" he reads my mind.

"Okay fine. There is something up buh why you here anyways?" I question him.
"Waiting for Isaac. He's talking to coach" he answers.

"Oh alright" I say. "Back to our discussion, Jas. What is it?" he urges me to talk.

"Uh what ever went down between Amelia and Ayisha. Do you know the story?" I ask him.

"Oh that" he gives a worried look. "Please Josh. They all shutting me out" I beg him. "Okay okay" he says.

"On a normal afternoon, the whole 12th grade got a text message that Ayisha tried to kiss Amelia forcefully" he starts.

"Oh my God" I say in between.

"Yeah. We all knew it was Amelia. No one cared about the fact it's a girl and girl thing"

"What people majored on most was the fact it was holy Ayisha. The goody too shoes"

"Ayisha really tried to defend herself but everyone knew and believed Amelia more"

"Amelia was seen as the victim of a bear molestation, and Ayisha was the criminal and perpetrator"

"She even got suspended for 2 weeks cause of the incident. I try ink some teachers got or saw the message"

"It really damaged Ayisha. You could see the pain always in her eyes" he ends in a sad tone, a really low voice.

"Wow. So who did you believe?" I ask him. "If we're going to be real, I believe Amelia framed Ayisha" he answers.

"Why so?" I ask further. "Ayisha doesn't seem like a type to do that, plus I've had couple conversations with her to know her well"

"And Amelia is capable of doing such a thing buh what the whole set thinks, counts" he shook his head.

"This must have been really huge. Ayisha really went through a lot. I wonder what her parents did or said" I said.

"No one knows but we know her dad is a respected Imam and her mum, a morally endowed and respected businesswoman. I pitied Ayisha" he says.

"Thanks Josh. I'll be going now" I hug him and he hugs me back. "So, I don't get a hug?" I hear Isaac's accent.

"Oh hey Isaac" I wave at him. "Hey love" he smiles and hugs me.

Amelia, that little son of a bitch. Arghhh!
