Sana's POV

🍁

"Where are Nelly and Leo?" Nazia asks as we wait in the line at the cafeteria.

I explain what happened in Chemistry.
And how I had to try make the teacher forgive my idiot best friend, at no avail.

She was now facing the wrath of our headmaster, Mr Crosbie-Jones, a chubby beady eyed man with salt pepper hair.
And her boyfriend sat in the infirmary with Lilly Cadet by his side, even though the liquid thrown at him seemed to not have not done any damage, aside from giving him a slight itch.

"Wow, she made it to Crusty-Bones' office quicker than me. I'm impressed." Nazia laughed, showing her pearly white teeth.

Cue my eye roll.

"What?" She asked in fake innocence. "Don't act like it wasn't you that made that name for our ever so respected headmaster."

Like I need a reminder of that.

Our turn to grab food finally arrived.
I grabbed a chicken sandwich that clearly had a Halal stamp on it and a Coke.
Nazia took three brownies and paid the lunch lady.

She gave my friend a dirty look, certainly having remembered the time when threw a pot of yoghurt over her head, claiming it an accident.

I noticed suddenly that instead of heading towards our usual table, Nazia was strutting the opposite way.

That is when I noticed the petite figure of Rachel Sparklight.

"Naz, no. I've had enough trouble for today. Let's go." I tried to steer her away.

"Relax Sana." She smiled."I'm only trying to make a new friend and make Rachel feel welcome."

"You have plenty of friends."
That's a lie.
"And she's been welcomed enough."
By Lilly.

"Oh, come on. Where are your morals at?."

I threw my hands in the air as signature of retreat. When Nazia was set to do something, no amount of arguing could change her mind.

She continued walking and I silently followed behind this time.

Rachel seemed to feel anything but welcome when we lowered ourselves to the seat in front of her.
Nazia greeted her and I remained very quite, afraid of breaking if I were to say something just now.

"So Rachel, would you rather kill a rabbit or rape a rabbit?"
She asked, shooting one of her most conniving smiles.

Rachel's skin looked even paler than normal.
