"My book... Give it back..." Mia said in a low and soft voice.
The look on Mia's face, her expression and reaction, and her statement... They made it appear as though Ciara was the bully.
Mia now seemed to be the one being bullied by Ciara, and once the latter realized what she was doing, and how her actions seemed, her hands slipped, causing the book to fall back on her desk.
The owner picked her book up and continued reading it as Ciara walked slowly back to her seat. She couldn't comprehend what just happened.
'What happened to Mia...?' Ciara asked herself.
No, the graver question which was on her mind was...
"...Is that really Mia?"
********
Ciara couldn't get the thought out of her head.
Mia's expression, her demeanor... It was almost as if she was entirely lifeless. Though there seemed to be one emotion she showed. As she spoke, trembling, she displayed an emotion Ciara had never seen on her like that... Fear.
