Lana was half dragged to school, She had refused on grounds that Her first subject was maths,
"It's only for 30 minutes" Emma reminded her,
"30 worst moments of my life, if I were a President, I would ban Maths forever" She replied unmoved,
Blake came out of his room to see the others persuading Lana to go to School,
"Why are you still in your Ninja outfit?" He asked,
"She doesn't want to go to school today" came the reply from Emma,
"And you are all begging her?" Blake asked with a puzzled face, " let's quickly tie Her up, Professor Cyan will be happy if She if she appears in school tied up"
Lana wore a horrified look, "You not gonna do that man" She replied in a Negro accent,
"Nay, I'm doin that and more" Blake replied with the same accent fetching a his tie,
Lana stood up and ran to the door, Emma burst into laughter, The rest joined in and they left together for school.
Halfway to school, Lana decided She was not going to classes but the game pitch, They had to hold her hands and pull her along,
"Stop doin' that, I'm gonna shout" Lana whispered,
"Please do, the Reds would be glad to hear you and they would definitely come to your rescue" Blake replied,
"I rather die than have them rescue me" Lana replied, with an eye roll, Emma chuckled.
The REDS was a group of bully boys who made students life difficult, The BLADES were strong their biggest opponents and they never miss an opportunity to get to them, Lana was their match in everything, She could haul back every insult with matched venom and punches with same agility it was thrown, She was the roughest of the group, She nearly had herself expelled once because she beat Rodney, the REDS king to half unconscious, it was only the intervention of Her friends and A Surveillance camera that saved her and got Rodney a Suspension for a week.
The REDS as usual was waiting for them during Lunch, wearing their red attires that Lana said was like Fire service crew men left in a Mushroom Kingdom,
"Is that the bitch from China" Erwin called out,
"Yeah" Lana replied, "the one better than your Mama"
Their was gasps, Erwin turned red,
"I see their baby boy is still with them, He is scared we would hit him if he leaves the Chicken girls" Dray slammed,
"You should be ashamed, the baby beat you in Judo" Lana replied, "and the Chickens are better than your family brood of frogs, look in the mirror bruh, I wanna spit"
Their was gasps again,
"Hey Rodney, tongue-tied?" Lana asked, "Thought you would die in the Hospital, You were calling for your Mama right? I hope she gave you enough breast milk"
"Yeah, She did" Rodney replied, "Your own Mama doesn't even care if you are dead, She is a mortician right, She gonna get some work for her broke a$$"
"Yeah, She doesn't because She knows She gave birth to a strong girl not a baby goat, meeeehhh" Lana replied sticking out her tongue, "you should have really died, You would have loved my Mama's touch"
Anne held Her hand to drag Her away before she could say another one,
"Bitchy-Dog" Rodney called after her,
"That's for your christening, I never knew" Lana shot back.
"Learn to Ignore them" Dara told her, "they are not worth your saliva"
"I can't let them have the final word" Lana protested,
"Dara likes disturbing herself, Lana would never hear" Blake demonstrated as if to an audience.
They got to their special table of Five, ordered Macroni and Cheese, with toasted bread that they believe would be the death of Emma, and cocoa paste.
As they sat to devour their food, Someone else joined them, they all looked at the intruder with mixed reactions,
"Lost you way" Lana asked with a grim face,
"Easy Lana, He is a friend," Blake replied, "His name is Hans"
Hans smiled to show his perfect dentition, "Hi my name is Hans Lucas, final year" He told them with a wave of hand and began to eat,
The girl scrutinized him briefly, He looked someone from a Model Magazine, His sandy hair was tousled a bit to, he had sea great eyes, red lips and thick eyebrows, his shirt was missing two buttons, which Lana would swear He removed himself, He had the air of someone who could be very proud and rude,
'He did not even offer his hand for a handshake,' Dara thought, 'a bad way to start'
"I don't like the number 6" Emma replied digging into her food,
"He looks like a cock" Lana spat, "Don't you have manners, you just barge in on us, you did not acknowledge our presence, you just sat down to eat"
"Easy, we are in the Cafeteria, not your room, I'm not supposed to bow down and worship you" Hans replied with disdain,
Lana became infuriated, "You gat luck we are indeed in the Cafeteria, I would have removed your Teeth" Lana said with gritted teeth,
"You can't do that" Hans replied and stood up, His two hands stuck in his pocket as if challenging Her,
Anne who was doing all She could to stop her temper from rising, already stabbing the bread with her fork, stood up and stuffed Hans tomatoes stew and ramen into his face, with a bonus slap,
Hans was too shocked to react, everyone in the Cafeteria stood up to get a better view of what was happening.
"What would you do that" Blake asked, Lana was smiling widely,
"He should learn not to lift his nose at us again because He sees us as girls" Anne replied, taking a bite from her toast, She had returned to her seat like She did nothing,
"I'm so sorry," Blake apologized to Hans,
"No you are not" Dara replied, "He is rude"
Blake sat down defeated, They were family and He knows they would never want to hurt him.
"Ok, let's start afresh," Emma suggested, "Hans, go get another food quickly, come back, ask for permission to be at our table, greet us like friends, handshake would be fine, Then join our table even though I don't like the number 6"
Hans stormed off angrily.
The girls turned to a sad looking Blake, they quickly went on their knees, holding their ears,
"We are sorry," they chorused,
Blake took a deep breath, He was their big brother and they still have that in mind, They were some how right, Hans hands was rude, He was a Prince and He doesn't like the girls, He had suggested Blake leave them which he vehemently refused, Hans believe girls are weak, immatured and annoying, Blake knew the girl must have noticed how Hans ignores them and goes ahead to Call him to come play soccer when He is walking with the girls, so coming to their table was annoying.
But he was angry they insulted his friend somehow, He just smiled and asked them to stand up.
"Best Friends Forever" Lana shouted on top of her voice,
"Inseparable and Vicious" The rest replied softly,
"End of show," Lana announced to the watching students, they all sat down and went back to their meals, The BLADES always had drama.
Hans watched from a distance how they got back together in a short while and began to eat, talk and laugh like nothing happened, He had wanted Blake to side him and The girls would in turn get angry and leave the two of them.
He hated the girls with passion, They stood in the way of his being best friends with Blake,
"He would pay back".
