Chapter 51
Thursday Morning
East High School
Senior High Building
Senior Year Three Class
Malia came to school today after pressuring her mum and sister that she is ok and she can handle anything that they will do to her.
Although she knows, she isn't supposed to but she didn't want to be the only one to stay at home.
"Hi, You came today," Kelly said as he sat down on his seat.
After what happened, Kelly asked Davina to leave his side from being his seatmate.
He threaten her and she left, So he made Malia his seatmate.
"Yes, I couldn't just be the only one to stay at home since everyone won't be at home," she sighed and stared at the girls chatting.
"Forget about them," Kelly said
"Hmmm," she nodded as they were talking, Mr. Mason, Their biology teacher came inside the class, and everywhere became silent.
"Greet," Tega said
"Good morning, Mr. Mason," They chorused.
"Good morning, how do you do,"
"How do you do, sir," They said
"Good, Today, I will just give you projects to work on which as to be done as peer work, you all will be paired." He said
"So after I have given you this assignment I will Leave this class and I want it to be submitted on next week Tuesday," he added
"Yes sir," the class answered
Everyone is whispering in the class most especially Tega, who hates Biology.
Is there no subject Tega likes, I doubt that?
"Sir, can't we skip that, like let's just write our mid-term test and leave after our final exam," Tega suggested
"No, because this is your mid-term test, I don't want a written test I want something different to test your intelligence since you all will soon be writing your final exam soon and your mid-term test is really important," Mr. Mason explained
"But sir, as a final year student, we are supposed to be thinking about our final exam," Tegan said
"Then don't do it because your mid-term test is important for your final exams, and if you don't want to graduate, then don't do it," Mr. Mason said
"Of course, I want to graduate, I have a lot planned for myself after high school," Tega said
"Then, if you want to graduate, can you just take your seat," Mr. Mason snapped at him.
Tega sat down grumbling. Christy mouthed at him and rolled her eyes," Dickhead,"
He heard her and he sighed as he stare at her taking his seat.
"So as I was saying, I will put you all in pairs just in two, So just listen to your names while the topic you will work on will be sent to you by your captain on your group chat,"
"So Tega listen," He shouted at Tega when he saw him talking to Dylan.
"Allison and Harry," he starts calling out their name
"Abel and Fay,"
"Dylan and Phoebe,"
"Wow, nice couples," Harry said smiling.
"Jason and Audrey,"
"Ivan and Mabel,"
"Kelly and Davina,"
"What," Kelly said angrily. Davina stared at Kelly and smiled lightly which annoyed Kelly more.
"Sir, must she be my partner," he asked
"Of course, Mr. Martin, you have to because she isn't good with biology and she needs to graduate from East high school,"
"But I'm both the only one that is good with Biology," Kelly scoffed and Davina sighed
"Yes, both you and Malia are the best but I don't want two girls to be together," Mr. Mason shrugged
"But sir, I ...," Kelly trailed off
"There is nothing I can do, Kelly," Mason said and continued
"Ivy and David,"
"Thank you, sir," Ivy said as she blushed and she purposely smirked at Malia while Malia sighed sadly.
"Malia and Ivan,"
"Tegan and Christiana,"
"What, that is impossible," Christy shouted angrily
"It is possible, now sit down," Mr. Mason said bluntly and she sat down immediately when he glare hard at her and continued calling out their names.
"This is unbelievable," she hissed
"Grace and Hale,"
"Richardson and Alexis,"
"Oh no, not with the nerd," Alexis frowned her face as she looked at him and Richardson adjusted his glasses.
"And finally, Michel and Oliver,"
"So that is all like I have said earlier on, I want you all to submit it next week Tuesday, I'm I clear,"
"Yes sir," They said
Christy raised her hand.
"Yes, Miss Rex, what is wrong,
"Uhmmmnn, Sir, can I get to change my partner," Christy asked
"Why do you want to change your partner," Mr. Mason asked
"Because I know that with him being my partner, it will be impossible to get our project done," she told Mr. Mason
"How sure are you," he asked
"Because our dear captain hates me, he says I'm a b*tch," Christy sighed
"What, he doesn't have the right to call you a b*tch," Mr. Mason said angrily
"Probably he does," she shrugged
"So Tega is it true," Mr. Mason faced Tega and asked him
"Yes sir, I did but it wasn't intentional," Tega said with a pitted eye.
"And I regret it," he added
"This is uncalled for Tega, you are more than this," Mr. Mason said
"It isn't something I can change, I have said it and can't be reversed," Tega said
"But Tega, do you wish to change your partner," Mr. Mason asked Tega.
"No, sir," Tega shook her head
"Is there anyone else that wants to change his or her partner," Mr. Mason asked
No one raised their hand except Kelly.
"Mr. Martin, your case is settled, you aren't changing your partner," Mr. Mason said bluntly.
When he didn't see anyone that raise their hands, he said, "it seems nobody wants to change their partner, Miss Rex bear with him,"
"Probably, he will use it to make it up with you, Miss Rex," He added
"Ok sir," she sat down and glare at Tega.
"Alright, that is all for today's lesson, get your project topic from your captain, I just sent it to him, good day class," With that, Mr. Mason left the class.
Immediately, everyone starts pairing up with their partner on where to meet and get their project.
"This is the worst day of my life," Kelly said loud enough for Davina to hear.
"Bear with it," Malia tapped his shoulder and stood up.
"I want to visit the restroom," She said and walked out.

After twenty minutes, Malia was done using the restroom and she washed her hand. As she wanted to leave the restroom holding the doorknob, The door opened and she saw Ivy, Grace, Alexis, and Davina.
Despite how she tried to make sure she didn't come across the girls but it seems fate isn't on her side today.
"Was it ever on my side before," Malia told herself.
"Ermm, what did you want," Malia asked nervously
"For you to suffer," Ivy said and stood at the entrance blocking the entrance for Malia to leave.
"I want to pass, please excuse me," Malia said
"Aww, she said please," Grace scoffed and pushed her back inside.
"You girls don't like me, so leave me alone please," Malia begged
"Why should we," Alexis shrugged
"Remember this Malia, no one will like you, in no time, Kelly will leave you too because it will be too much," Mabel said
"Do you want me to kill myself," Malia asked
"Good, that is so nice if you can do it," Ivy smiled," kill yourself, Malia, save everyone the stress,"
"This is unfair, even your mum and dad don't care," Grace said
"My parents care," Malia shouted
"Stop bluffing, you can see it for yourself that David is mine, so save yourself the stress," Ivy smirked
"We can't stay here for long because we only came to greet you," Davina said
"Yes, let's go," Mabel nodded
"You don't deserve to be outside," Ivy close the door outside with the lock.
"Open the door," Malia banged the table.
"Let's see who will save you," Alexis smirked
"Die, B*tch," Ivy said and they laughed walking away
"Someone please open the door,"
"Help,"

Ten Minutes Later
"I ain't tryna die young, so I gotta ride with one,"
"Still ten toes down in my Balenciagas,"
"He ran down on a nigga, that's a shotta, shotta,"
"Cold-hearted nigga with that blocka, blocka,"
"Gotta keep it on me, I don't wanna die young,"
"I rather be judged by twelve, than carried by six,"
"I'ma go post bail, just look at my wrist,"
"Tell me, why the legends always gotta die quick?"
Michel was coming from the extra class lesson and he is singing die young by Roddy Ricch shaking his head to the beat.
As he was singing, he heard a faint voice in the restroom. He wanted to ignore it but couldn't.
"Someone should help me,"
"Help me,"
"Someone should please open the door,"
He moved closer to the restroom and heard the voice loud and clear
"Help me," the person kept banging the door.
Is that not Malia's voice?
Or I'm I hallucinating?
Of course not, I can recognize her voice anywhere.
"Is someone there," he asked
"Yes, Please help me open the door," she said inside
"Malia," he called
"Yes," she said sobbing
"So she is the one, I can't save her," he says and turned to walk out but stopped.
"She is afraid of the dark and can die but I can't let her die because I want her to suffer before going to jail," he said inwardly
He looked at the lock of the restroom. It was a padlock. He had to look for something string to break it open.
Immediately he opened the door, Malia came out weakly and was shocked seeing Michel as her savior.
"Michel," she called his name lightly
"Who did this to you," he asked
"Ivy and the girls," she replied
"Such a weakling," he scoffed
"Your fellow girls did this to you because you are a weakling, I don't know why you act all innocent when you aren't," he hissed
"Save yourself the stress and tell the world you are the murder of Rose Wright," he added
"How many times will I say I'm not the one," Malia replied faintly.
"Really," he scoffed
"Anyway, Thank you for helping me," she replied instead
"Don't thank me, I only did it so you won't die without being punished for Rose's death,"
"You can't just die like this because you must suffer," He said bluntly.
"But I ...," She trailed off
"Don't let it get to your head because I helped you always remember I hate you," he said harshly and walked away.
"If that is what he wants, then I will do it," She said and sighed...
