Falling in love with the Muslim girl ✔

Chapter 28: Who's going to save you now?

Safia's POV

It was lunchbreak and boy was I hungry.. Amina and Malik just ditched me, I have no idea where they went. I just knew she was hiding something from me, but leaving me alone at lunch for Malik? I swear to God I will cook her alive if something is going on between those two without telling me.

I entered the canteen and was looking for an empty spot but I couldn't find one. Everybody was staring at me, maybe I should've also taken a few days off. I already had some girl yelling at me for 'wrongly accusing her friend for assault'. I didn't think it would be this bad, but people were actually looking at me like I was some piece of shit. I think that Nathan had alot of friends and they weren't happy that I was the reason he got expelled. Did they forget that he almost raped me? They would've treated me differently if I was another girl, someone who didn't wear a headscarf.

I was still looking around in the canteen, until I heard Britt calling my name.

"Safia, Come sit with us!" she shouted towards me. Every head at that table turned to face me as soon as she did that. But they weren't looking at me like I was some intruder, no they looked friendly. They genuinely smiled at me, not like all the other girls that looked at me in the hallways.

One guy, apparently a good friend of Nathan, practically threathened me earlier. His exact words were: 'You're lucky that Brody is also my friend, otherwise I would've finished what Nathan started'. It's just so disgusting to me that they can still support a guy that wanted to rape a girl. No way am I going to tell Brody about what that guy said. He would kill him and I don't want him to get in trouble again. I've done enough damage.

"Hey!" everybody greeted me at the table.

I greeted them back and Britt gave me a sign to sit across her.

"So how are you? Feeling better since the incident?" Britt asked.

"Yeah, how are you?" everybody asked in unison.

"I'm fine girls, thank you." I answered.

"I can't believe that I was with that douche."'one of the girls said rubbing my back.

"I'm just happy he's been expelled, but his friends aren't that happy though.." I said looking at my food.

"Did Natalie say something again?!", Britt asked.

"No no, it's just other students that give me weird looks or whisper some things, but it's fine."

"Dear, they're dead if somebody opens there mouth when we're around." One of the girls said.

"Thank you", I said and smiled at her.

Lunch was over and Amina finally texted me that she would be back in 10 minutes. I've decided to wait in front of the school for her. I said my goodbyes to the girls and left.

"Wait Safia, do you want to come over later? Mom invited you but I think that Brody wants to see you too."

"I can't, I'm grounded. My mother calls the housephone to check if I'm home." I responded, but to be honest, I wasn't in the mood anyway.. I had my monthly visit from mother nature and all I wanted to do was to lie in bed with a box of chocolate.

Britt understood and we said our goodbyes. I was happy with the 'new Britt', she's kind and compassionate. I have no idea why she made a huge change.

I was standing in front of the school waiting for the person that ditched me to arrive. I saw Malik's car stopping in front of the school a few minutes later. I saw Amina sitting next to him but they didn't see me standing there, waiting for them. I watched every move they made until I saw them making a move, a move I expected the least.
