"You like who?!! Hahaha, you're such a laugh! She would never like someone looking like you!" Sasha laughed and pointed at Joanna.
Joanna almost bawled her eyes out, but something stopped her. It was a voice, calling out from the middle of the laughing crowd. It wasn't someone laughing, it was someone angry. They were yelling something, and as they came closer Joanna could start to figure out what they were saying.
"Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up! You all don't know me at all!" The voice was female, Joanna knew she had heard the voice before... She knew exactly who it was. She stayed quiet for a few seconds, probably taking a breath. She yelled again, but way louder. "SHUT UP!"
Everyone turned around to see the mysterious person. They all shut up immediantly. The crowd separate, making a walkway for the angry person.
