Chapter 7
✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿
Naomi and Mina ran into an empty class breathing heavily.
"That was close" Naomi said trying to catch her breath.
Linda ran in immediately and closed the door breathing heavily too.
"Why did you guys leave me there huh?!!" She yelled at them.
"Are you crazy or something? Do you really expect us to have our bones broken because of you?" Mina asked.
"Of course yes"
"If so then why are you here? Go and allow your bones to be broken while we'll wait for you here" Naomi said and Linda frowned.
"Whatever. That Chelsea girl will be out of this school in no time" Linda said with a triumphant smile.
"How do you know?" They asked.
"Cos I will get her out myself" Linda muttered and the girls looked at each other before looking at her.

Chelsea walked through the hall with the girls behind her.
"Girl. You're quiet again" Doris complained.
"Of course I will be. That innocent girl just got expelled because of me. Maybe I shouldn't have interfered" Chelsea mumbled sadly.
"She was expelled but at least she fought for herself. She didn't get bullied again because of you" Emma said as she read from a novel she was holding.
"Where did that fighting for herself bring her huh?!" Chelsea snapped and the girls stopped walking immediately.
"Girl. She just snapped at us" Doris said to Emma.
"I know. Let's leave before she deals with us next" Emma said and they ran off.
Chelsea chuckled silently before sighing. She continued walking and she sighted the boys at her left side smirking at her.
She glared at Angelo and turned to go another way when a bucket of yoghurt was poured all over her.
"Hey!!!" She yelled and removed the bucket tossing it away.
She looked at the boys and saw them laughing excluding Angelo who smirked at her and walked away.
She groaned and walked to the restroom.
She sighed staring at her clothes.
"What am I going to do now?" She asked loudly.
"You can take this" A tiny voice whispered behind her and she turned.
It was a young girl who was looking down at her toes while pointing the clothes towards her.
"Thanks" Chelsea muttered and walked to her collecting the clothes from her.
The girl turned to go when Chelsea held her back.
"Can I know your name please?" Chelsea asked and the girl looked at her.
"Avery. That's my name" She said and Chelsea smiled.
"What a nice name. We can be friends right?" Chelsea asked.
"You wanna.....be friends....with me?" She stuttered in shock.
"Obviously. You can hang out with me and my girls so what do you say?" Chelsea said and asked.
"It'll be cool to be your friend. Thanks" Avery said with a cute smile.
"You're welcome. I'll see you later then" Chelsea said and let go of her hand.
Avery smiled before leaving the restroom.
Chelsea looked down at the clothes in her hand.
It was a black hoodie with a baggy jean.
She entered one of the door and wore the clothes.
She carried her old ones and walked out of the restroom. She kept them in her locker before going back to the class.
She met Doris and Emma talking while laughing and she went to sit down beside them..
"Hey girls" Chelsea said and they looked at her.
"Are you okay now?" Doris asked.
"Yeah. Sorry for....."
"If you dare apologize, I'll punch you in the face" Emma said setting her fist to punch making Chelsea laugh.
"You girls are crazy really"
"We learned from the best" Doris and Emma chorused and they all laughed.
The teacher came in and everyone kept quiet.
It was the strict biology teacher, Mr Evan, who came in.
"Good morning class. Today we'll be talking about reproductive system but first, can anyone tell us what it is?" He said with his deep cold voice.
No one raised their hands so he glanced at Angelo.
"Tell me what it is" He said pointing at Angelo.
Angelo rolled his eyes and stood up.
"Reproduction is the ability of living organisms to give rise to new individuals of the same species. In other words, it ensures the existence of that species of organisms from the generation to generation" Angelo said.
"Good" He muttered and Angelo sat down.
"During my teaching, I'll ask other questions. Failure to answer it, gets detention for 1 week" he said and turned to face the board.
He started writing immediately and everyone did so.
Angelo looked at Chelsea before smirking.
He tore a piece of paper and folded it into a ball before throwing it at the teacher's head.
Mr Evan turned back immediately and banged the table.
"Who threw a paper at me?" He asked coldly.
"It was Chelsea sir" Angelo said and Chelsea faced him.
He smirked at her and she faced the teacher immediately.
"I didn't do that. I promise" Chelsea said.
"If Chelsea was the one that threw the paper at Mr Evan, raise your hand" He said and rose his hands.
Everyone in the class did so except Doris, Emma and Avery.
"She didn't do that sir" Doris said.
"We were here by her side and she didn't even tear a page from her book" Emma said as well.
Mr Evan looked at everyone before looking at Chelsea.
"These people raising their hands are much and they can't be lying so after school, you're to clean the whole school" he said and Chelsea stood up.
"But that's not right. I didn't do anything like that. This isn't fair at all" Chelsea said.
"Sit down young lady or I'll increase the punishment to every single day of this week" he said and she blinked back her tears.
She looked over at Angelo who smirked at her. Their hands were down already.
She looked back at the teacher before carrying her bag and she stormed out of the class.
"Girl" Emma and Doris muttered before carrying their bags as they followed her.
"Let's get back to work" he said and continued his teaching.

Chelsea walked to the rooftop and sighed.
She threw her bag on the chair and ran her hands through her hair frustratingly.
"This isn't fair!" She yelled.
Doris and Emma came in immediately. They dropped their bags on the bench before walking to her.
"Chelsea" Emma called and she looked back.
"Why do they all hate me huh? What wrong did I do?" She asked and the tears began falling down her eyes.
"You did nothing wrong Chelsea. Don't let what they're doing to affect you" Doris said.
"But I can't help it Doris. All what his doing right now is reminding me of my highschool days. Even if I'm beautiful on the outside, I still feel ugly inside" She said.
"It's not true Chelsea...."
"It is. I just wished I died that day I was pushed. Maybe all this wouldn't have happened" She said sniffing.
"Are you crazy Chelsea? If you died, would you have met us? If you died, would you have had this beautiful face? If you died, would you have met Aunty Luciana? Would you have been in this school?" Emma asked and Chelsea kept crying without saying a word.
"If you died, how will you get your revenge on the person who pushed you or on Angelo and Linda?" Doris asked.
Chelsea broke down into more tears before squatting to the ground.
"I'm sorry guys. I'm just.... I'm really sorry" She cried and they squatted besides her before hugging her tightly.
"It's okay. There's no need apologizing because you cried. There's absolutely nothing wrong in crying" Doris said.

School closed a minute ago and everyone were already leaving the school.
They made sure to dirty the whole school really well to make it hard for Chelsea.
After everyone left, Chelsea went to the janitor's closet. She carried a bucket of water with mop inside, a broom and parker.
She walked out of the door and sighed before dropping the things on the ground.
She froze when she heard footsteps coming.
"Is there still someone in this school?" She whispered to herself.
The footsteps kept getting closer.
Chelsea carried the broom and held it tightly waiting for whoever it is.
The person's face came to view and she gasped.
