CHAPTER TWO: New maid

SAHAL'S P.O.V-

I watched as my sister made fun of Afeerah, the new girl.

That's how Sahla is, she always makes the people she thinks are a threat to her suffer. And I'm sure she thinks Afeerah's a threat.

Sahla just cares for her looks and power. That's why we're so different. Sahla's more of an idiot and I'm; not to brag but, smart.

I'm the smartest person i know and I don't think anyone's as smart as me. I like to think that I'm gifted. Because I am.

After economics, I made my way to the physics lab for physics, internally thanking God that Sahla was a social science student and i, of course a science student. With my brains, i had to be in science.

The lab was a bit empty when i entered, only a few students were there. I took a seat in the first row and got my books and supplies.

Students started filling the class and i was surprised when i saw Afeerah Mustapha enter and she took the seat next to me. She still looked terrified and her hands shook as she got her supplies ready.

"Good afternoon class."Mr James said nodding at us.

Some people replied while some didn't.

He scribbled down 'simple harmonic motion' on the white board.

We took down notes as he explained further. He asked a complicated question that needed a bit time to figure out.

I scribbled the question down and got to work.

"If he walked 35miles under the sun that burned 30°'s, in an hour and it took him 4.2hours to arrive, his total motion was 2577.56." A voice i did not expect to hear answer that question said.

It was Afeerah. It only took her about 10seconds to answer that complicated question.

I stared at her in shock.

"That's the answer Afeerah. You're really brilliant." Mr James smiled.

Thats how the class continued, him asking questions and Afeerah answering like she knew everything in the world.

What a showoff.

I don't like her at all, she thinks she knows everything.

"There'll be a quiz in our next class, which is on Wednesday. I'll group each of you into groups of three." Mr James said at the end of the class.

"Safiyya Ali, Muhammed Farouk and Amin Ilyas, you're group A."

He kept on listing the name of people. "Afeerah Mustapha, Ilham Kabeer and Mr. Sahal Othman Lukman. Group D"

I hoped i heard him wrong because that's just...not Ilham and definitely not Afeerah.

I could easily tell him to change my group and he would but i didn't like abusing my power like Sahla does.

I guess I'll have to manage with them. He continued naming people but my mind wasn't there at all.

I don't like Sahla but...i have to say she's right about Afeerah.

The last bell rang and everyone left their classrooms.

After assembly, everyone got ready to go home.
