CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

ANIKE'S POV

"Omo, that girl is crazy and she does not know she is messing with the wrong person. If I catch her with how she is thin like Panla fish, she would really know not to make that mistake again in her life. Is she crazy?"

"I guess she is. I saw the push and no normal human being would just do that to someone. I play a lot of sports and I know that ideally the coach is meant to bench her for that shit she pulled. We are not meant to let this go just like that. It is unfair and cruel."

Mariam replied to Mercy's earlier rant.

"The coach is being biased too because she is a professional player. It does not matter if she is or not. In fact, she should know the rules better than anyone else because she is a professional. The leg looks really bad Anike, Sorry."

I nodded in thanks, the nurse gave me a shot of painkillers and it has helped reduced the pain for now. It still hurts though and I can't imagine how worse it would be once the pain killer runs off.

"I don't blame her sha, I blame Jada. You see, she can't even come visit. She was at the court too. I thought she would be cooked up at the library but she was there getting all busy with Jeff. I am frustrated honestly; this school is filled with crazy people and I am scared for my own mental health."

Mariam said before putting her head on my bed. One good thing about the situation is the very soft bed.

I had no idea Jada was even there. Jayden helped carry me here though and I have not seen him ever since. Maybe a break from those twins would be better and that Joy, she is just like expected. A green snake in a green grass, deceiving everyone like she was the cool, good, calm girl. How could she do that just because she does not want me on the team?

Newsflash, even though the team is blinded by her pretense too, I still got into the team. And that news made the weeks of training really worth it. I just hope that my leg allows me to play well because I am currently in a cast.

"Stop frowning Anike, you should sleep. We want to eat and get some stuffs for you too and we cannot leave if you do not sleep."

Mercy said with a concerned frown reminding me of my parents the day I was at the hospital. The day that started everything that is bad in life.

"What type of criteria is that? I will fall asleep any second from now because of the shot. Go eat before the dinner period end please."

I said with a playful smile.

"Alright. We will be back before you know it."

Mariam said grudgingly standing up. I really appreciate the both of them. I have never had a friend prior to Royal but they help me believe that friends are good, and important.

"Thank you so much."

"It's nothing. Please sleep alright?"

I nodded and watched as they walked out of the room.

Once the door closed, I was left alone with my thoughts which were mainly unanswered questions.

Does Joy know I am a scholarship student too? was that why she pushed me?

How can I get my laptop?

I really want to listen to BTS right now.

The shot should help me sleep but instead my brain was at alert like something I don't know. I made to seat straight on the bed and reached for the remote on the bed side table.
