"After like a whole two months, we are all finally sitting together and having lunch. Ah...I am so happy." Sani babbled happily.

"Hey! Who are they? They are in the same class as us, right?" Alizeh asked, referring to a group of students in a distance.

"They are the most popular group in our school. They manage most of the school's functions and events." Jackson answered. "Mia is the leader of the group, she's a daughter of a wealthy family. John is the vice president and the most handsome guy. The rest: Sara, Paul, Sophia and Lucas are just members of the group, also known as screaming eagles or The Blacks."

"Sani! One French fry, please, please, please," Alizeh begged Sani cheerfully, who was carrying a box of fries.

"Hey, did you guys even hear what I just said." Jackson groaned.

"Ha, ha! Jackson, no one cares." Michael said teasingly.

"I am not giving you any French fries! I will enjoy it all by myself." Sani snapped playfully.

"Narjis why aren't you eating? What's wrong?" Aisha asked.

"The one who needs to eat less is not Narjis but Kisa." Alizeh said while laughing.

Kisa slapped Alizeh's back. "Shut up. Food is fuel and energy, and I need a lot of it to survive." Kisa explained, filling her mouth with fries.

"How about we all gather at the cafe near the school?" Michael suggested.

"Nice idea." Kisa replied.

"Let's go to the cafe after school." They all said at once.

...

A girl stepped up and walked to Mia. "Excuse me, my name is Ava. I like doing volunteer work, and I would love to help your group. Please call me next time you need help." Ava said in a very charming way before she went back to her friends.

LUNCHTIME IS OVER

｡☆✼★━━━━━━━At the Cafe ━━━━━━━★✼☆｡

"Here is madam Aisha, finally. What took you so long? We have been waiting for hours and I am so tired now." Sani grumbled.

"I am really sorry. I had to complete schoolwork first or else my mom wouldn't have let me come." Aisha apologized gloomily.

"It's okay, Aisha. We understand." Alizeh said in a comforting voice.

"I can't even recognize you without makeup." Michael commented, eyeing Kisa.

"Stop rambling and go take a shower. If I have makeup on, I have difficulty studying and I need to go to my academy afterwards so I can study." Kisa replied, giving Michael a smack at his back.

"I get low grades if I take a shower." Michael retorted jokingly.

"Both of you get bad grades on tests anyway." Sani announced putting an end to their childish banter.

Kisa rolled her eyes, an annoyed look on her face.

*＊✿❀Sani's P.O.V. ❀✿＊*

Study, study, study. That's all I have to do if I don't want to get compared to my sister again. I just want to do great like my sister. I want to tell everyone what I can do but I suffer the terrible disease of low self-esteem. Being sad and being depressed are two very different things for me.

"Guys, I have to go to the library, it's already 4 o'clock. I am so sorry." Sani said as she picked up her bag and took her leave.

"There is a kind of sadness in not wanting the things that give so many other people their life's meaning. There can be sadness at not living out a more universal story – the supposed life cycle."
