"Miss Hassan,we can't solve this until you cooperate with us. Don't worry,I won't let them hurt you anymore," the principal, Salih Abubakar, said.

Zammilu had told him about how Lami was bullied that day and he told him it wasn't the first time. Lami was forced to tell the principal other horrible things done to her. Like how some kids would steal her shoes and throw them somewhere in school. She'll have to keep looking around the school to find them. Or how her books were torn and she would have to tape it if she can't buy a new one.

But she never really mentioned their name. Which was why Zammilu was holding a jotter and a pen waiting for her to call their names.

"If you don't call their names I'll go to your class and get them myself," Zammilu frowned.

"Okay...I'll call their names," Lami gave up. It might make her life way much worse,it might make it way much better. But she has this sudden faith in Zammilu. That he won't simply abandon her or get tired of checking up on her in case her classmates hurt her more and bully her way worse than they do then.

She called their names.

All of them.

Zammilu went into the classroom,Aunty Gambo was teaching the class P.H.E.

"Excuse ma," he smiled.

Aunty Gambo turned and looks at him.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your class but the principal is calling some students from this class," he said.

"Can't you see I'm teaching. Do it after my class," She said expecting him to leave.

"Friday is a short day ma'am. I'm afraid  the principal can't wait till then," Zammilu replied calling their names before Aunty Gambo could have a say in it.

"Rahama Nasiru,Hauwa Maje,Abubakar Aminu,Sameera Nuhu,Zainab Isa and Binta Suleiman," he called their names.

Rahama came out,but the rest didn't.

"What's your name?" Zammilu asked her.
Rahama looked like she wanted to cry, "Rahama,"

Zammilu narrowed his eyes at the class.
"Where's Hauwa Maje?" He asked.
Some of the kids looked at the girl,Sameera's second best friend.

"Come out," Zammilu bit out. Hauwa,realizing she's been found out scowled and even hissed before coming out.

"And Abubakar Aminu?" Zammilu asked again. The class pointed at him. Abubakar shriek in horror,he came out fuming.

"Ai wallahi wallahi I'm not the one. No me! I don't do it! No me wallahi!" He kept muttering and grunting.

"Zainab Isa," Zammilu called.

A girl came out,she looked scared out of her wits and she was already crying.
