"She bounced on me first". Bella said, pointing those ugly fingers that have artificial blue painted nails on them at me. She must be insane; for saying that. She picked on me first.
"Nora, you of all people should know Bella enough, not to pick a fight with her. She is an idiot''. Lilian said, standing next to me with her hands on my shoulders, trying to calm me down. "Really huh? I'm now the crazy one. Isn't she supposed to be the crazy one for sleeping with someone to get money for her mother's surgery". Goodness, can someone just kill this girl right this minute? How dare she say such a thing. "Let me go, Lilian, let me teach this bitch a lesson. She has bitten more than she can chew". Lilian was holding tight to my hands this time, trying not to make me go. However, that was not helping. I needed to beat the pulp out of her. I used every force that was in me and the anger in me, to drag myself out of Lilian's hold. Turning on my side, my eyes landed on a bottle on the table next to me, I instinctively picked it up and aimed it at her. She was damn lucky that she quickly bent over and the bottle passed over her head and hit the glass door behind her, thereby making cracks on it. I wonder what would have happened had it been the bottle had touched her. "You all should stop now, not another word from either of you". Ms. Madalyn screams at the top of her voice looking between me and Bella. By now, some people were standing around us, others sitting as though nothing happened while others perched their way outside.
"You wanted to kill me, right? I'm going to deal with you?". She clenched her ugly lips, looking at me. I just wanted to dig a pit at this moment and put her inside and make sure she never gets out. The girl is so annoying...goodness! Well, before she kills me, I would make sure to kill her first. Nonsense. "Let go of me". I told Lilian, shrugging my hands off her hold, and made my way to the counter and took off the apron on me, and gathered my stuff. "Make sure to come back tomorrow and clear off every mess you have caused here and you will need to pay for my door". I did not have all the time in the world to listen to whatever the round woman was saying. I just needed to go home and rest my head. Because, If I stay any longer here, I might cause a disaster and it is not going to be good, considering my current situation.
I pushed past her and made my way to the cracked door, without answering her. Everyone here was crazy.
" I told you to stay away from that little witch, but you wouldn't listen. Look at what this has caused you" I rolled my eyes. My mother won't even want to understand a single thing I say. Of course, I tried to stay away from her, but still, she kept coming behind me. I did nothing to her this morning, yet she picked up on me. So, was I supposed to let her go off the hook this time, no way. "I wish someone could just get rid of her and never let me see her again. She irritates me to my bones". I said before stomping into my room. The day has been a bad one and I did not want to argue with more people. To calm down my sanity, I shrugged off my clothes and put on a black shirt, and sat on my sofa. I picked up the remote control and switched on the TV. I checked the time and it was 10:00 AM. Lucky me. A smile left my lips as I turned to my favorite TV show. Maybe learning some new cooking skills from handsome Karl was going to help ease up the hurt that was in my heart right now.
They kept accusing me of what I know nothing about. How was I supposed to tell them how I got the money? This is nonsense
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, one last dish of the day before we get to the end of the show". My smile this time was broad and I'm sure that it touched my eyes. His handsomeness was now the only thing I could see at this moment. For a moment, I decided to shrug off the thoughts of the last few hours and glued my eyes to the TV. His dreads today, were plated in four cornrows as usual. He was in a white sleeveless shirt today. Large biceps and triceps were much visible. His tall frame, standing behind the kitchen table with all ingredients on it, ready to be chopped and put inside the black ceramic pot standing in front of him.
"Handsome Karl, if I could meet you in real life, I would let you have all of me, without a single thought". I murmured to myself, my hands resting on my knees as I leaned forward and listened to what he was saying. And today, he was making this vegetable called Hockenberry. He had tomatoes, onions, leeks, Maggi, salt, some fresh peppers, and vegetable oil. I listened attentively to every detail and I think I was going to try it someday soon. Truth be told, I have a spot for men who can cook, you know make their food, and not necessarily wait for their wives and girlfriends to do it for them. To me, it's so romantic when a guy cooks and serves the wife or the family. It's cool.
I had to turn to many TV stations when the cooking show with Karl was finished. I needed to keep myself off things that would bother me. The night was here and I was ready to go to bed. And tomorrow I would be going to work. I don't if Ms. Madalyn is going to fire me or not.

Nolan was already out on his hunt for the holidays and he needed to work, if not, he was not going to complete the next academy because I have no money. I already told my mother goodbye and was about to step out of the house, when a police car drove into my house.
".."
What is going on, why is a police car in my house? Who did they come for? Struggling to catch my thoughts together, when suddenly an unrecognizable girl stepped out of the car using crutches, what my eyes saw next was enough to send me into a coma. However, I stagger backward and have a grip on the wall. I needed to be sane to see the end of this.
