Grace: Hey kid, don't you know how to walk? You bumped on me and I fell to the ground. My ankle sprained.
Neeyu: Ms. Dawson you are the one who bumped on us and don't blame her for your mistake.
Grace: Ms. Richmond I didn't ask you and just shut up.
Neeyu: You shut up Grace Dawson and don't -..
Mariya stopped Neeyu from quarreling and leaned towards Grace who was on the floor and grabbed her leg.
Mariya: Ms. Dawson I'm sorry for your pain and don't call me kid again, I have a name and call me wit that.
Neeyu: Mariya why are you apologising to her. She was the one who hit us first.
Mariya: Just leave it Neeyu and we have to clean up the mess we did.
Mariya gripped Grace's foot and turned it to other side and stood straight. Grace was shouting in pain.
Mariya: Your sprain will be okay within 5 minutes and if it still hurts then take pain killers.
