It's another Monday
Another school day to look smart and sit in class like I know what I'm doing.
As I make my way to my table in the cafeteria after getting my food, I sight Cassandra giving a disgusted look to someone, but I ignore her.
"Hey you! Come here" Cassandra yells at one of the junior students who just enrolled last week.... I think.
The girl slowly walks towards Cassandra and her friends.
"Good day senior" the girl quietly greets.
"Hold it! What's good about the day when shabby-looking students like you walk around this school." One of Cassandra's friends, Lara says.
My table is opposite Cassandra's, so I can literally see everything they are doing.
"You look so nasty. Kneel!" Cassandra ordered.
The girl silently obeyed and went down on her knees.
"Good. Now can you explain why you look so tattered?" she sniffs close to the girl. "What's that obscene smell"
"My classmate mistakenly poured drink on me, I have been trying to wash off the stain" the girl replies.
"Juanita, why are you so quiet?" I didn't even notice my friends had joined me on the table.
"Oh...nothing" I reply as I chew on my spaghetti, now focusing on my friends who were seated on the opposite side of my table.
"We never got the chance to ask you, how did your date with Melvin go that day?" Sophia asks.
"It was fine, we went to magicland and we played like little children" I smiled, remembering that fun day.
"Wow! Really? Can we see pictures, I've been dying to see the pictures but you have been so grumpy these past weeks so I was scared to ask" Kharo says and I laugh.
"Ogenekharo, you? Scared? I doubt"
"I swear, she's not scared of anything, being scared does not fit you" Sophia chuckles.
"Ah ah! See oh!" Kharo laughs. "Have you seen when Juanita is angry? Even a lion might get scared o!"
"Abeg, Abeg. No dey hype me" I laugh
("Please Please stop flattering me")
"Please Kharo it's Juanita not 'juwanita' the 'J' is silent" I correct her.
"Ehn.. Anyone as long as you understand what I'm saying. Besides, I call you Juanita most of the time and not 'juwanita'"
"Whatever, it's pointless arguing with you anyways"
I bring out my phone and they started swiping through the pictures in my gallery.
"Aww! You guys look so happy and in love here" Sophia whines.
"Abegi" Kharo gives her a look.
("Please!")
"Look, can't you see how sweet they look in this picture"
We were all laughing when we heard the cry of someone. I looked up, only to see Cassandra hitting the junior student they had called earlier.
I glare at her and her friends. This reminds me of the time when I was being bullied by Florence and Justina.
Kharo, Sophia and I, as if on cue walked up to their table.
"What's your problem Cassandra? Why are you hitting the girl?" I ask Cassandra.
"And who do you think you are to question me? I am disciplining a junior student" she says like it's the most obvious thing in the world. "Stay out of this, spiderman!" Her friends laugh at her stupid joke.
"And why are you 'disciplining' her?" I arch a brow.
"Hey! Abeg mind your business. Don't come and poke your nose in what does not concern you. Can't you see how filthy the girl looks?" Her friend Lara defends.
