Chapter 76

I stared at the guests in shock. I saw Aya, Basma, Christina, Joselle, Everonia, Juliana, Veronica, Basant and Jessica.
What are they all doing here ?

I stood up and hugged Basma first, then the others.
"I missed you, Adelle. Why didn't you call ?"
Aya asked enthusiastically.
"I guess I've been busy, with Mars and everything."
I said nervously.

How could I tell her that the funeral turned out to be a huge mess ?
"How did it go by the way ?"
"Alright.."

Basma walked over to us, beaming.
"Oh, yes. Aya told us all about your visit to Egypt and Notre Dame. Why didn't you tell us ? We could've went with you."
"I just didn't want to disturb you guys. It wasn't the best visit ever, you know. Nevermind about me, what are you guys doing here ?"

I asked, trying to sound happy. I was happy, just that the thought of the funeral made me upset.
"Well, your mum sent us here."
I eyed them confusingly.
"My mum..?"
"We actually don't know why, but I'm so happy to be here. I never went to America before.."

Everonia said, glancing around the place happily.
Out of nowhere, I felt Judy by my side, her eyes burning my friends angrily. I swear to God she's jealous because she has no friends !
"Well, this is suddenly getting noisy..!"
She gritted her teeth as she spoke.

She then eyed Basant in disgust.
"Ew, what's up with you ? You look ugly."
Basant is actually one year younger, a seventh grader to be specific, and she has one paralyzed arm. I guess that's why Judy called her ugly. But other than that, Basant is actually pretty. I assume Judy is partly blind.

I gasped at Judy's comment, then my expression turned to anger. I swear I wanted so bad to kill her that if my looks could kill, she'd be dead and buried.
How dare she !
"Oh, yeah ? I think she's pretty. Prettier than your face actually. What do you know about prettiness anyway ?"
Rajwan said, giving Basant a smile.

She smiled back, making the others gasp, including Judy.
"If you actually think you can actually say that to my friend without being yelled at, being slapped, or being kicked out, then you're dead wrong. Get out, Judy. And take your boyfriend with you."
I said, gritting my teeth as well.

Judy flicked her hair cockily, and went to sit back in her seat.
"Not leaving."
I rolled my eyes, not trying to make a scene.
Before I could say anything, Sadie walked towards Basant.

"Oh my god, your hairstyle is the best. That outfit of yours, where did you get it ?"
She started asking Basant nice questions about her appearance, making her smile, and answering enthusiastically.

Rajwan and Sadie save the day.

I was honestly grateful for that.

Barron stood up, and shook the girls' hands.
"Pleasure to meet you."
He muttered, smiling softly, and I couldn't help but smile at him.

That was pretty nice of him too.

The next few days turned out to be a total nightmare..
