Manipulation is key

Can i be honest?

Cairo did not want to go to school, especially to biology class, it's been a couple of days since Mr. Lamon threatened her about telling her secret...

but it's been also a couple of days since she accepted Cc's following request, she was somewhat happy about that...

"Ms Sweet, a word" the Latina shuddered at his voice, she just entered the damn building, and he was already there, like he was waiting for her...

"Yes?" Cairo asked quietly, and stopped walking, the man gave her an awfully creepy grin, which made the girl shiver and feel disgusted

"Come into my office, we need to discuss your grade" Cairo's eyes widened, and shooked her head immediately "No, if we need to discuss it, I'm fine doing it in class, in front of everyone"

she won't give in, it's not possible, she can't give in, she can't go through this again...

"Oh... but Cairo... that's not possible, I like discussing these things in private..." The girl felt extremely disgusted about this whole situation she got herself in...

"No, then I'm fine with whatever grade you give me" Cairo spoke quietly to him, and the man was visibly getting angry at the small Latina

"Cairo... don't make this hard for me, just come into my office, now" his voice started off quietly, then by the end, it was stern and somewhat angry

Cairo took a step away from him, but he only took one closer to her, the Latina felt helpless....

Then they heard the bell rang, meaning that the students will disappear in a matter of seconds, leaving them alone, unless Cairo walks away

"I have to go, I don't care about my grade" and just as expected, they were left alone in the hallway, Mr. Lamon grabbed Cairo by her upper arm, then leaned down to face her directly

Cairo had fear in her eyes, wishing that this would just be over...

"You know I will get what I want, stop resisting" he gritted his teeth, his eyes showed anger and.. obsession? was he obsessed with her?...

"Is everything okay here?" A voice behind the man made him pull away, and smile like nothing ever happened, a blonde soccer player stood there looking absolutely confused

"Yes, Ms. Sweet just lost her balance, and I caught her before she could fall, nothing else, excuse me now" Before he left, he turned to Cairo and winked at her

which made the small Latina want to throw up right there at the moment...

Cc was still confused and somewhat didn't believe what Mr. Lamon just said to her, especially when she saw that Cairo's eyes were becoming bloodshot and tears were starting to form in the corner of her eyes, she held her tears back...

"Hey, you okay?" the blonde asked quietly, Cairo didn't respond, instead she just walked out of the building and lit up a cigarette, the blonde girl followed her

wanting to make sure that she's alright...

"I'm fine, go to class or something" Cairo said as she exhaled the smoke, she didn't look at Cc, because she felt like if she would, she might just break down in tears...

"Nah... I'm totally good here, I'd have Maths anyways so, that's not important, but you are, so wanna talk about what happened? or you just wanna sit down and sit in silence? or I can leave if you really wanna be alone, but know I'm a good listener"

Cairo raised an eyebrow and looked at the girl, growing up she was never comforted, hell since she was six, her mom and dad weren't even in her life...

Not like they were there for her until she turned six, but at least until then they didn't leave her alone for months...
