It was soon closing time. Maria stood by the roadside chatting with the other teachers as they each waited for their means of to transport to go home.
Maria laughed at something one of the teachers said and instinctively turned to look at the school's entrance and her eyes met with Karen's.
Maria felt that the girl was looking at her with a weird gaze and it made her feel somewhat wary of her. Maria looked away forgetting about her.
Previously she had felt that someone was watching her. She thought it was Ad-Din and decided to turn and see thereby noticing the way Karen was looking at her.
Truth was, Maria didn't really like Karen and this was not the first time she felt that way. She felt the girl wasn't. genuine, especially with the way the latter approached her in class today.
She wasn't someone who liked to hate on anyone without a reason but strangely enough, something about that girl spelt trouble hence Maria decided to stay away from her.
