"Ahhhh...my hand" he groan in pain
"I will go easy on you this time but the next time you try this nonsense with me again, I will make sure your parent dont recognise you again".she said coldly
"And you said I don't back down easily, yes I don't, because any one that offends me will not go in peace" she added.
She released his hand and pushed him. He fell with his chest kissing the floor and his friends ran to help him get up. Carissa walked to her seat and used a tissue to clean it as if it was dirt that sat on her seat.
After some minutes, a teacher entered the class room with books in her hand. She wore a white shirt and a black pant.
"Good morning ma'am" they stood up and greeted her.
"Good morning. You may all have your sit.
The lecture begins and the teacher explained the topic she wrote on the board 'Nervous co-ordination'.
"Can someone explain to me the meaning to co-ordination. Yes, you" she pointed at the pony hair girl sitting at the back.
"Co-ordination is defined as the process by which different parts of an organism work together for proper effectiveness"
"Very good" the class continued as she spoke more about the topic.
They had more classes before lunch break. Carissa and Dyosa went to the school resturant and began to eat.
"It's a good thing mom cooked for us. Am just so tired eating the food from this resturant" Carissa lamented.
"Exactly"
They brought out the food from their lunch boxes. There were so many food packed for them:Banana cue, fried chicken, pancakes, rice cakes and soda.
"Yummy, this food is the best"
"Carissa, about what happened today"
"What happened today? Pretending to have forgotten
"Your fight with that boy....what's his name again....sam"
"Oh, I have forgotten" she did not actually forget but she don't just want to remember.
"It's a good thing you did not get injuries from this fight. Your injuries from last fight has not healed up yet"
Carissa touched her cheeks and the memories of how she fought those guys came back.
"Forget it. I don't want to remember"
"Okay"
They both focused on their food, suddenly a girl came shouting....
"Carissa, Carissa"
Carissa looked up to see who was calling her. She is just a student from a different class. She is in grade 10.
"You....why did you beat Sam?" she asked, pointing her fingers at her.
"I did not beat him" she corrected
"Did he tell you that? She asked
"No! I heard it"
"Wow, news spread so fast. Did you ask him what he did? She continued to eat her food not looking at the girls face.
"No, he won't do anything to offend anyone" she defended him.
"Are you his girlfriend?"
"No"
"Are you anyhow close to him?"
"Yes, I am his school mate"
Dyosa and Carissa burst out laughing. Carissa stood up and touched the girl's shoulder.
"Girl, Sam does not know if you exist or not, all he know is that some girls are crushing on him. You are just wasting your time. Do you ever think that even if he sees you now, he will still remember your later? No, he won't even remember your name the next time he sees you"
The others at the resturant began to laugh.
"So why defending him? Let me ask you this.....ever since you got to this school, has he ever defended you like the way you are doing now?"
"No" the girl shook her head, embarrassed.
"And you are thinking about someone that does not even know you and don't care about you. Actually my time is precious and I won't want to waste it talking to you" Carissa lost her appetite to eat. Her and Dyosa packed their food and left the resturant.
Everyone began to stare at the girl defending Sam. She could not even look at their faces because she was too embarrassed. She quietly left the resturant.
After school closes, they decided to take a cab to the resturant since their mothers will still be there. Sam and his friends came out of nowhere blocking their way.
"We meet again" he smiled coldly.
"What do you want?" she asked without looking at his face.
"Revenge. Do you think just because you threaten me in class, I won't get my revenge"
I don't want trouble" she held Dyosa's hand and walked pass them.They blocked their way again.
"But I want trouble"
"You are staying in my way"
"Oh, your way" he smiled and walked to Dyosa
"Your friend is beautiful. Why don't you let us have her and I won't cause you trouble" he began to touch Dyosa.
She pulled Dyosa to her back, "Don't touch her"
"Okay then, why don't we...." he moved closer to Carissa and began to harass her.
She pushed him away, "Don't touch me...am warning you, stay away from me"
he staggered back
"I thought you said you are skilled fighter?" he moved closer to her and with a 'traa" he tore her sleeve opened, revealing her white skin.
She clenched her fist to stop her self from trembling. He turned to look at this friends smiling and back at Carissa. She punched him with her fist, he fell and before he could get up, Carissa pounced on him and began throwing several punches at him. Blood covered his face.
Dyosa found a stick and began to hit it on Sam's friends one by one. Dyosa ran to Carissa who was still throwing punches at Sam.
"Carissa, that's enough now, they won't dare to mess with you again" she pulled Carissa up. She looked at her fist bleeding.
"Let's go" she dragged Carissa away.
At twapakto resturant.
Elvira was serving food at C table when Carissa and Dyosa came in. She looked up and saw her daughter's tore clothes. She ran to her.
"Carissa, what happened?" she looked at her daughter hand bleeding. Her eyes widen. She looked at Dyosa demanding for an explanation
