The Everlasting Love(A Mateo Arias fanfiction)

Chapter 2

"Class!Settle down,we have a new student.Care to introduce yourself,missy?"

"Uh..yea,I guess"

'Uh-oh shizz.Okay,okay,stay calm it's gonna be alright..Right?'

Ina slowly walked to the front.She took a deep breath and began.

"H-hi..My name is Ina and I'm from Singapore."She said.

Almost immediately,she heard murmurs from the class.A hand quickly rose up.Ina nodded towards the hand and a girl with her hair tied back into a ponytail stood.

"Can you tell us where is 'Singapore'?And more about it?"The girl asked.

"Well..uhh..it's somewhere in asia..It's quite small actually.Well...I could just show you.."

Ina pointed towards the teacher's laptop.The teacher nodded and Ina gave a small smile before quickly googling her hometown.The picture of it appeared in the big white screen behind her.The teacher excused herself and went outside.Ina quickly gave a brief description of all the pictures of Singapore she showed her class.

"A-and my favourite place,the Sultan(king) Mosque.It's a beautiful place where sometimes I'd accompany my grandmother to p-pray."

"To pray?Mosque?So..does this means you're a Muslim?"

"Yes..Why?"

"But you don't speak Arab.."

"Not all Muslims are arab.There can also be different types of races for Muslim.Like me,I'm Malay.We can speak B-bahasa(the mother tougue) and English."

"But...Muslims are terrorist!"A voice cried out.

"Not all Muslims are terrorist you nitwit!" A voice snapped.

"Shut up,what do you know about Muslims?"

"Ha,and you think you're so smart?Go on tell me about them." A same girl that asked about Singapore had stood up and was currently giving a glare towards a jock.

"If they were really terrorist all of us would be dead...ain't that right?"

The jock sprung up from his seat,"Why you little b-"

"Finish that sentence and you'd get detention after school today,Mr."

The jock snapped his head towards the teacher who had just entered the classroom.He sat down with an ugly scowl on his face.After a moment,he turned towards Ina and he shot a string of colourful words loudly towards her.

"Damn Muslims and their killing.Why don't you just rot in hell?Why did you have to come to this school,you freak?You'll never fit in."

"That's it!Damien,principle's office now!"

The teacher lead the the guy out.Ina looked down,her eyes brimmed with tears.She quickly sat down.'They think they had it worse.They never think.They never do."

The bell rang and the class was dismissed.Ina left the room quickly.She went to her locker and tried to composed herself.She shut her locker and jumped.It was the girl who stood up for her.

"Hey..sorry about that jerk's  behaviour.."

"I-it's nothing..hey..What are you doing here?A-around me,I mean.."

"Everyone needs a friend..Muslim or not.Wanna sit with me and my other friends at lunch?"

"A-are you sure they don't mind?"

"Sure I'm sure!See you at the cafeteria later!"

Ina nodded.Maybe America isn't so bad after all..
