Noémie could not believe the photo was genuine. As proud as a peacock, she raised her neck " What if it's not genuine but photoshopped. ''
" Well! Elea is an expert, let her decide. " Passion uttered in the same impolite tone.
Soon after a thorough review, Elea nodded in affirmation.
" This photo is authentic. Passi does know the god of good looks. "
Noémie's mouth turned sour at that confession. She bawled her fingers into a fist and sneered inwardly ' I will make sure, this poverty ID will not be a part of such a classy grouped '
Instantly Avriel hugged Passion gladly. " You are finally a part of us. "
Noémie gasped exasperatedly.
Passion eyes lit up. " Really!!! "she exclaimed joyfully.
Elea rolled her eyes and fretted " Yes ".
At that moment, Avriel heard something dark. She then understood these girls were playing with Passion's émotions. They will never be allowed into the group, the only reason she hangs with them is that Elea is her cousin.
" As an initiation, you will have to do three things. "
" What three… " Avriel was cut shut by her cousin's sharp gaze.
Still smiling broadly, Passion shrugged her shoulders.
" During lunchtime, you will sponsor our lunches. "
" What? "
" Can't you? "
Passion thought about the last money in the card that Dawn gave, but it may be enough to pay for their lunch. How did she survive the rest of the days of this month? It was only the beginning of the month and it was her allowance for the entire month.
In a barely audible voice, sheannounced " No problem ".
Elea forced a smile " Yeah, that's is our girl "
Passion recalled the two more orders left " What about the remaining two commands. "
Noémie snorted before leaving " One a day sweetie "
Still, in high spirits, Passion shrugged her shoulders " Ok, I will leave for class now, I am already fifteen minutes late. "
Today, she had a quiz for the second period.
Therefore she needed to revise what she read but these girls took all the time plus another extra from her second most important class. ' English '.
Passion had been struggling to learn how to fluently write and speak English, she even learnt the English accent.
In conclusion, she was determined.
Noémie who has been frowning for a time now took three steps towards Passion. " Wait "
" Yes, " said Passion, stroking her hair unpleasantly.
" Help me take these books to the library. " wearing a sweet and innocent smile.
How could she take the book to the library, it was in a different direction to her class plus it would take fifteen minutes back and forth.
Passion scratched her scalp " It's in the opposite direction to my class. "
At that time, Elea cat walked over " Girl code remember. They are overdue. "
" Oui "
As soon as Passion silhouette was no longer seen. The girls burst into laughter.
The quiet girl at the corner gripped Elea's arm aggressively.
" Why are you guys punishing the poor girl? When you know very well she can't afford our dinner. Why are you people so evil?. "
' clap '
Elea slapped her cousin on the left cheek.
She hollered " Why should I spare a stranger when we dud does not spare you? "
Avriel recalled everything they made her go through. The anger in her doubled. She swore to make them pay
' Why did I ever think of you as a good person? '
" I am sorry, cousin. Avriel beseeched in a sincere tone.
" Stop the charades, weirdo. I can tell when you are lying through your teeth. " She paused and continued " Listen, if you come in between Passion and us the same way, you did between Kary and us. We will not only send your sex video to the principal but to your father this time. "
Memories of that moment flooded Avriel's mind. Involuntarily tears fell off her cheeks ruining her smokey make-up.
At the moment suicidal thoughts filled her mind, if anyone else saw that video she will commit suicide. Avriel had decided, it was the most important reason why she followed these morons like a sheep after its master.
Noémie, who was at the time texting, shoved her phone into her Gucci purse to frighten Avriel the more " And we let the world in on your secret. ``They high-five each other.
The last statement, Avriel dreaded the most. The running mascara on her face made her appear like a zombie.
A burst of sadness inexplicably rose in her heart. Looking distraught,
she sniffed and pleaded " Please I am so sorry. I …won't do anything you don't like… Please. "
Avriel flipped her hair attractively " Now, you are sincere. Good. Just sit and shut up from now on. "
Avril had her eyes set on Noémie's silver purse. She knew something was fishy by the way Noémie kept stroking the purse.
' sigh '
Since she was discovered. Noémie took out Passion's phone from her purse.
Noémie sniggered " Urgh, you can give her back. "
With that, Noémie and Elea left. It was left Avriel who sat on a swing under a broad tree where they aleen met. It had a golden bench which was invariably cleaned up by the bullied nerds.
Dismayed, Avriel went through Passion's phone to find out why Noémie had it for so long and was hiding it.
Unfortunately, she did not find anything suspicious, only random pics of Passion and her family.
' Nothing embarrassing there . ' she heaved a sigh of relief.
It was through this method, that they got that sex video. The video was recorded by her present boyfriend Antoine. Her life was a mess and it was all her fault for being too weak.
Using her phone as a mirror, she wiped the makeup off her face.
Later she played with the phone lost in thoughts.
' What did she do? What are they up to? God, you and the only one who can spare Passi, she is such an innocent girl. '

Dawn Greene looked back at the room tired. She inspected the results and nodded in affinity. " Better than thirty minutes ago. '' she praised herself in a tentative agreement.
" It is probably a basé. "
At last, she was done, dor now, it was time for her forty-five minutes break. Today was unusual, she got tired before the end of this shift.
One thing she preferred doing was cleaning rooms of youngsters rather than of sloanies. That will just be torture.
With this thought, she pushed the cart reluctantly. There was a little smile in her eyes, it was the satisfaction of having a rewarding job and a lovely family.
At that moment, a crowd of paparazzi, paparazzi ran in. It was not new for her, they usually sneak in when there is a celebrity.
" There she is . '' one of the photographers yelled pointing out to Dawn.
Dawn sighed heavily and continued pushing the cart, she smiled bitterly at the thought of them seeking for her. She was no star.
The paparazzi rushed toward her and she pulled the cart away from their path.
Appalled at the number of questions they threw at her. She could no longer feel her fingers, which clenched the stroller in fright.
" Is it true ?. " a chubby interviewer inquired.
The many mics and questions bombarded Dawn, she could not see anymore.
' Did a murder take place here?'' This was the only reasonable definition. Most of the paparazzi spoke in English and they were too fast for Dawn to understand.
She needed time to break up the words bit by bit to comprehend.
" Sorry, I don't know what you are talking about, you got the wrong girl. Excuse me. " They blocked her path again.
" Say something, Miss Dawn Greene. "
Dawn froze on hearing her name. She was about to snap when strong arms pulled her into his arms.
Mm
