"Uh- umm- if you don't mind can I pass through? I feel a sudden need to use the washroom-"
"Why such a hurry? Won't you like making new friends?" The girls surrounded her and suddenly she felt like a small kitten surrounded by hungry wolves.
"Hey hey girls, you're making her feel nervous," the fruity-voiced girl pushed herself from between the crowd, struggling because of her small height and panted when she finally managed to escape. She locked arms with Sarah and said, "I'm the one who noticed her first, so I'll be the first one to be her friend."
"Whaat? That's not fair," the girls groaned and complained. They started squabbling amongst themselves who will go first.
"I wanna introduce myself first."
"No that must be ME."
"You stay back, Sammy."
"How dare you?"
What is happening here? Sarah thought, too stunned by their behaviour to decipher anything. She had expected that they'd abuse her or humiliate her or do something like that out of jealousy.
But, the scene of the quarreling crowd of girls in front her made her flabbergasted, what am I supposed to do now?
"Hey sis," the fruity girl whispered in her ear and pointed to the other corridor which was empty, "Let's go there."
She didn't even wait for an answer as she pulled on her arms, dragging her with herself until they reached the empty spot.
She giggled seeing the fighting girls from a distance and said, "Fools."
"Hey, can I go now?" Sarah asked with a little hesitation.
"What no! You cannot leave like this, we've just met." She pouted. "Anyways, let me introduce myself. My name is Yona. I hope you like being my friend." She tee-heed and smiled brightly with her eyes almost closed.
Somehow, Sarah thought, she looks like a typical chirpy anime girl.
"Here, here, they are here!" Somebody yelled and suddenly the empty corridor filled with angry girls.
Sarah looked at Yona with pleading eyes which said, "Help me." But Yona looked equally helpless as she just shook her head lightly.
"There you are."
Sarah turned her head at a sudden familiar voice and saw Max standing there with his one hand on his waist and the other running through his hairs. "I was searching all over for you."
She looked around herself, finding an unexpected silence spread throughout the corridor. All the girls were froze at their places with their eyeballs bulging out of their eyes like they had just seen a greek god come to earth and endow them with his magnificent beauty.
They look blessed?
She gasped as suddenly he took hold of her hand and pulled her softly towards him. "We need to talk. Let's go," he said and dragged her behind him, walking away from the crowd of girls.
Should I consider him as my saviour? She asked herself, watching the back of his head as she walked behind him but shook her head from side to side throwing away this thought almost instantly. He's a demon, Sarah. How can he be a saviour?
She looked back to wave at Yona, who was the only girl, she thought, was a bit compassionate than others. But Yona was too astounded to even notice her.
She shook her head hopelessly as she walked away.
"Why didn't you pick up my calls yesterday?" He asked suddenly stopping after they had escaped everyone's sights.
