While we were eating, we heard gasps and turned to the direction it came from only to see Samantha and her girls bullying a student. The girl was dripping food from her hair down and her face was bent to the floor. She looked so terrified and fazed. I took a closer look and I recalled her. She's the timid girl I met outside on my first day. Samantha had a smirk on her face and her girls were giggling. I looked back at the poor girl that was already crying and stood up but Gretel held my hand pulling me down so I wouldn't go there.
"what are you doing Melissa. Don't interfere in Samantha's business. She'll take it all on you." She warned me but I was determined to teach that bitch a lesson. She was being mean and it was the last I wanted to watch. I looked at Gianna but she was completely focused on her food. "You're not going to stop her?" Gretel asked staring amusingly at Gianna who shortly looked away from her food.
"Why should I? Although, I don't wanna get involved with Samantha right now, I'd like to see how Melissa deals with the bitch." She simply replied Gretel and I nodded. "Clean up this mess." Samantha ordered rudely and the poor girl bent down and started packing up everything that was spilled. That's it. I can't take this. I pulled my hand away from Gretel's grasp and hurriedly walked towards the messy scene. I bent down, took the girl's hand and pulled her back up startling her to drop the plate she held.
I heard more gasps from around us and remembered that I was standing in the middle of the cafeteria where all eyes were positioned. "Are you alright?" I asked her and she nodded still looking down. Samantha scoffed gaining my attention. "If it isn't scholarship girl." She said sarcastically. " You just couldn't mind your business, could you?" She added. "I could actually, but I chose not to. I just hate people like you who find pleasure in bullying others, it irritates me. " I replied her and She smirked.
"Touché, Well I don't care. Diana here is my slave for a week and it's not against her will so how about you turn around and head back to your little group." She said and pulled the girl from behind me holding her collar. The girl, Diana still looked very shaky and looked towards me with pleading eyes. I held on to her hand stopping Samantha from dragging her away.
I pulled her towards me. "Can you hear yourself? She's a student of this school, just like you. Here, she's your equal, you have no right to treat her like a slave. She might have agreed to be your maid but she doesn't look happy about it. How do we know you didn't threaten her into doing it." I defended. "Equal, you say." She scoffed. "Diana , did I threaten you?" Samantha asked the shaking girl but she didn't say anything. "see? Come here my little slave. I still need my lunch. " She added nonchalantly and turned around to leave.
After walking a few steps, she noticed Diana didn't follow so she turned and glared her. "Diana, didn't I just call you?" Sam asked her and Diana slowly moved towards her but I drew her back again. I faced her. " Do you wanna go with her?" I asked her and she gulped looking behind me where Sam stood. "Diana, there's no need to be scared. She can't hurt you." I told her and she shook her head negatively. "But she wouldn't let me join the cheerleaders." She muttered.
Is she for real?, She wants to join that bitchy club?. "Like seriously, what's so great about them?, There are many cool clubs in this school from what I've heard. " I told her. " I love the outfit." She timidly said. " Drama club has cool outfits too, dance club too. "Gianna chipped in. " Yeah, and swim club too and baking club is really sweet. Get it? pastries are sweet." Gret added making a joke out of it. " Really? I can join your club? " She eagerly asked Gianna looking at her with so much adoration.
" Of course you can sweetie. " Gianna replied her smiling sweetly. I gave Gianna a look. Didn't she say she wasn't gonna interfere? She noticed my look and quickly defended her actions. "I really didn't want to do this but God! I just hate Samantha's guts and I'll do anything to frustrate her. " She explained and I smiled.
"Diana!" Samantha snapped gaining back our attention. "Don't make me come to you, you'll regret it." She added in a sausy tone. Diana looked at me and shook her head signaling she didn't want to go. " She's not coming with you Samantha, she's with us now. " Gianna said to Sam. "I never asked your opinion bitch! " Sam snapped again. " I don't think it's hard to tell who the bitch around here is." Gianna retorted and I smiled.
This is real fun. "Whatever, Diana come on now." She called again. I was gonna say something but Diana beat me to it. "I'm not going with you." And I narrowed my eyes. Look who became bold all of a sudden. "What did you say?" Sam asked angrily. " You heard her. I'm sure you're not deaf." Gret chipped in. Wow. Sam looked like she couldn't believe what was happening. "You'll regret this Diana." She said again. "You can't do anything to her. She won't regret a thing. " I told her and held Diana's hand drawing her to our seat. We heard Samantha scream angrily but we ignored her.
We took Diana back to our seats and she had lunch with us. She told us of how Samantha treated her cruely just so she could join them. "That bitch never misses an opportunity to hurt people." Gianna said. "Don't worry Diana, she would never hurt you again." I assured Diana. *You're supposed to be minding your business Melissa, that was the deal.* Said my subconscious mind. I know right?, how did I end up not doing that. "Thank you guys. You're actually the first to stand up for me to Samantha." Diana said. "That's because everyone else is a coward and Sam is a bitch. You have us now so don't worry about her." Gianna assured her... ses an opportunity to hurt people." Gianna said. "Don't worry Diana, she would never hurt you again."
