UN-FAITHFUL

Chapter 16

Understanding some one's suffering is the best gift you can ever give them. Some times that, is just enough.

Mya was lost in thought. "So what if life isn't fair?should i change my life style and all look low because now i come from a family that has gone bankrupt. It's not Calvin's fault." She was poked in the ribs by Serah just in time to find the whole class staring at her.
That's when she remembered she was in the middle of a french class. Monsieur Pierre is looking at her .
"Párdor Monsieur"and all the time she is worried if she said the right thing.
"I said Pretend you just met a stranger, from Paris, step forward and start a conversation."
"You are done for. " Serah whispered.
Mya stepped forward. Mellon was already in front. Rumour had it the grand mum was French because she always came first in the French class.
Being just her partner now made Mya insecure.
"Bonsoir mademoiselle"Mya started.
"Bonsoir Cherie, çàva?"
"Uhmm çàva bien, mèrci" Mya felt her hands sweat. Mellon looks confident.
"Jé mapélle Mellòn,je sui é stúdentè à Cambridge, jhabité á Pàrié, etôi?"
"Uhm cést moi Amyaline.uhmm....."
And that's when the bell rung. Mya's saviour that day.
As they moved out of class, Racheal pulled her back.
"When they asked you in class, you seemed distant. Are you good?"
"Yeah.. Guess i was day dreaming." Mya replied.
"You can't hide from me Mya. I know you ain't good. I know we are not close but I just can tell."
"I'm good. just the walks to the chaplain. I'm missing out on a lot of things"she lied.
" I wish I could do anything about it. Wait, i have some fries that were sneaked in, let's relieve some of that stress."
Mya felt like crying. How come she could understand her moods. She replied jokingly "I'm doing a punishment because i was caught seducing you. You wouldn't mind joining me in those fellowships?"
Racheal pulled her"come on, it's all even my fault."
"From looking at you, i believe it's not the chaplain thing bothering you. Something deeper might have happened to you."
"Uhmmm, actually.... "Mya was wondering whether to tell her when all of a sudden Po walked in panting.
" Iam from your dorm,when i couldn't find you, i came this way." "What is it?"mya asked Po who was trying to catch her breath.
"You guys just follow me."
The girls quickly got up and followed Po who talked as they went. "It's Mercy. The girls are heading to the staff quarters to confront Mrs. J.B, she claims her arm was broken by her as she pulled her out of bed and beat her up when she found her in dorm and it was time for morning prep."
"Wow.. Just what i love after a stressful day. Scandal. I don't think i will even go to the chaplaincy. Let's hurry, catch up with them."Mya said.
" i knew you would be hate me for life if you missed such mischief and chaos."Po replied. Racheal just followed quietly.
When they caught up with the other girls, it was already a mob. Some were in uniform. Some had changed to casual clothes and every one was complaining of some thing. Some one was saying"even if I'm in wrong.you don't have to be that violent. Today we should talk back to them. We can't be silent on this or else they will take us for granted."
The girls walked up to Mr. J.B's residence and knocked. When the maid opened the door, she closed it again and ran to call the mistress.
The girls started shouting. "Open this door or we'll break it down." Some others pick stones and start throwing at the glass windows.
Mya hadn't expected it to be that violent. More students who had the noise came.
Inside the house mrs. J.B panicked. She was home alone with the maid and the baby. She decided to call the headmistress. Glass was falling in onto the carpet and furniture.
More girls had come. Even those who didn't know the story. There was more chaos. Some went to the other teachers' houses. Those they didn't like. At the moment, a thought creped into Mya's mind. Johny!!! She rushed there to find some students already there. And then what happened next shocked every one. Police!!!! The headmistress had called the police.
