Lela's POV

“You? What do you want?” I frowned. She had a stupid smirk on and she stepped into the room.

  “How's your arm?” She asked and she let her eyes drop to me arm, then back to my face again.
Her hands were crossed on her chest.

  'I smell trouble.'

  “And what do you care?” I asked and crossed my arms on my chest as well.

  “Come on. I'm just trying to be friendly.” She smirked and stepped closer to me. Her voice didn't sound friendly at all.

  “Whatever. As you saw, I was on my way back to class, so please excuse me.” I said and I walked past her, but she pushed me back with her right hand, then she crossed it back on her chest. The smirk on her face had disappeared. She was glaring at me.

  “Tsk tsk tsk tsk. I am not done, so don't walk out on me.” She retorted.

  “Seriously Edith, what is your problem?” I snapped.

  “I think you know what my problem is,” she said and I raised an eyebrow. “You are my problem Lela. I don't like you.”

  'I don't need her or a prophet to tell me that.'

  “That isn't a surprise Edith and don't flatter yourself so much because I don't like you either. You are too mean for my liking.”

  She laughed, “quit the drama Lela. Didn't I ask you to stay away from Temi?”

  'So, it's the Temi issue again.'

  “And I have repeated it countless of times to you that, I have nothing to do with that boy!” I half-yelled.

  “Shhh. You are so pretentious, you know,” she shook her head. “Then please explain to me what you were doing in the bathroom with him. Why did he push you?”

  “Yeah, why don't you go ask him that, you are so pathetic.” I said and she gasped, “please, excuse me.” I said and pushed past her.

  “You come back here.” She said with clenched teeth as she pulled me backwards, violently by my hair.

  I screamed, “ayyeee. Edith let go!” I fought to pull her hands off my hair and I succeeded. I finally did what I felt like doing that morning. I gave her a hard slap across her face and her head flew side ways due to the impact of the slap. The sound of the slap echoed in the room.

  She turned immediately to face me. She shot a death glare at me and her mouth gaped open. “How dare you?”

  “How dare you too, how dare you pull my hair? Are you mad?” I snapped at her and gestured with my fingers.

  Then, I felt my cheeks heat up. Edith had returned the favour. That does it! I'm going to teach her a very nice lesson today. I charged at her, pulling her hair and I saw many strands of her hair come out in between my fingers. I rolled my palms into fist and I punched at her back.

  “Arrrgghh!” I screamed. Edith had grabbed my neck and was biting into my shoulder.

  “Arrrgghh!” I heard her scream as I bit into her upper arm. I fixed my teeth there and kept biting without letting go. We kept pulling each others hair and blowing each others backs. I pushed Edith into the wall violently and she winced. I got a strong hold on her hair and dragged her by it and threw her at the nurse's table and she groaned. Some things on the table toppled over. Edith looked up and locked eyes with me. We were both panting.

  Then, she charged at me again and we both flew outside the sickbay and I landed on my back in the corridor. Edith had me pressed on the floor and was strangling me. I managed to get a firm grip on her two arms and I toppled her over and pressed her on the floor. I hit her with my fist across her face and I started strangling her.
