Chapter 10: Don't do anything to her
Samantha's lips were turned into an unpleasant arc as she spoke. ''We can't be so sure of that. Besides, she said they're friends''
''You believe her?'' Selina asked.
''There is something you don't know about Ayah. She might act crazy sometimes; but, she doesn't tell lies'' Samantha said. She knew Inayah very well. She always acted crazy and arrogant but one thing was that she wasn't one to tell lies. Even though a lot of people did not believe her truth, she always sticks to it.
''Then, that means she was saying the truth?'' Selina asked and turned to look at Joy and Samantha.
''Don't look at me like that. We all lied about what happened, okay?'' Joy told her.
''We wanted her to get expelled but she got suspended instead'' Selina muttered.
''But, she is back now'' Joy suddenly felt a shiver down her spine and asked, ''what if they find out that we lied?''
''That's why I need you girls to shut up and not act suspicious. She still thinks of me as her best friend and I can't have you girls destroying that'' Samantha told them sternly, her cold gaze sending a silent warning to them.
''Don't worry, I hate her as much as you do'' Selina said.
...
Noah pulled over and got down with Inayah. He walked to her side and handed her the hand phones she left in his car.
''Hey, your headphones''
''Thanks''
''So, tomorrow you will go to school?'' Noah asked her.
'Yes'' Inayah replied and Noah pull her closer into a hug. ''Noah, what are you doing?'' Inayah tried to push him away.
''Stop struggling'' Noah said, tightening his embrace around her as he looks at the Maybach as it passed by them. When the car drove into the mansion, he finally let go. ''Now, Ayah. Go inside straight and go to bed''
''What? Hey, are you crazy? Don't ever hug me like that'' Inayah kicked his leg hard before running into the house.
''Aaah, she is quiet strong'' Noah smirked. He turned to the mansion and looked at it before getting into his car. he drove the car into the mansion and got down.
Noah entered the mansion and went into the hall. When he saw Jasper wearing his tie, he stood at a distance and called.
''Uncle. Don't do anything to Ayah. She is my friend''
Jasper chuckled and turned to face him. ''You have guts. How dare you come in here and tell me what to do?''
''Ayah told me that you want to buy her house. That house means a lot to her. She grew up in that house''
''So?'' Jasper cocked his left brow questionably at him.
''Can't you just let her have it? She doesn't even know who you are''
''What if she turns out to be a spy? Would you be willing to exchange your life for hers?''
''She is not a spy''
''What is your relationship with that girl?''
''We are friends, but I like her''
''Is that why you are here? To tell me how much you like her?'' Jasper chuckled and sat down, crossing his legs. He looked at Noah with a mocking gaze.
''Yes, so please. Leave her alone''
''I will decide that. That girl has guts. She called me a stalker''
''I will apologise on her behalf''
''Does she know who you are?''
''No. She doesn't know anything about me''
''Get out, I'm tired''
''Uncle, please'' Noah watched Jasper leave to his room and when he stood up, his gaze through the mirror turned eerie. It was as if he was hiding something. Noah chuckled and smirked as he walked out of the house. His gaze was nothing close to the innocent smile he always shows in front of Inayah.
....
Inayah walked out of the compound wearing her school uniform. She was just in time as Mrs. Gladys was pulling over after getting to the house.
''Hey, hurry up'' Clara rolled down the window and said to Inayah.
''Aunt, good morning'' Inayah opened the backseat to go in and Clara opened the front seat wanting to join her at the backseat.
''What are you doing?'' Miss Gladys asked Clara.
''Mum, I want to sit at the back. I need to discuss something with Ayah''
''Do I look like your driver?''
''No'' Clara sat back in the car and Inayah chuckled. Clara turned to glare at her, ''not funny''
''Oops, my bad'' Inayah said laughed again.
Fountain High School.
When she pulled over in front of the school entrance, Miss. Gladys turned to the girls and asked them. ''Girls, what did I say about boys?''
''No boyfriend until after graduation'' Inayah and Clara said at the same time before Clara added.
''The golden rule''
''Good. Now, go and study hard. Bye''
''Bye, aunt''
''Bye, mom''
''Bye girls'' Inayah and Clara waved at Miss. Gladys as she drove away. When she was out of their sight, they turned and entered into the school compound.
After they left, a familiar car pulled over and Noah got out of the car. He looked at the school and smiled before going inside.
At the hallway to the classrooms, the students murmured among themselves as they looked at Inayah and Clara walking towards the Principal's office.
''And here we are back again. News of you have already spread far and wide. You are still popular after 8 months'' Clara said sarcastically.
''I know, right?'' Inayah looked at some of the students and they quickly looked away. None had the guts to face or look her in the eye. Even though some of the students were new, they had heard about her. Some were extremely terrified of her because of the things they had heard her do.
''Are you ready?'' Clara asked.
''Who cares. Wait for me here while I go to see the Principal''
''Okay''
Inayah knocked on the door and heard a response from inside.
''Come in''
Inayah entered and closed the door behind her. She walked closer to the Principal and bowed.
''Good morning, Principal''
The Principal looked at her and nodded, ''Miss Ibrahim, I see you're back?''
''Yes, ma'am''
''Let's skip the pleasantries since we know each other. Sit down'' the Principal didn't have much impression about her because of what happened in the past.
''Thank you''
''So, tell me. How was rehab? I was surprised when your Aunt came here and asked for admission for you''
''I learnt a lot of things while I was there''
''I see'' the woman said, nodding her head. ''You must know that Samantha has also come back here''
''Yes, we met at the beach two days ago''
''I see. Actually, I didn't want to admit any of you but, as a mother, I realised you girls needed a second chance to start over again''
''Thanks Ma'am''
''Miss Ibrahim, I hope you take this opportunity seriously and not mix with the wrong groups again''
''Yes, Ma'am''
''You can go. You are still in your old class''
''Thanks Ma'am'' Inayah stood up to go and the Principal called her again.
''Inayah''
''Yes, Ma'am''
''I always knew you're innocent'' the Principal said and Inayah smiled and bowed her head before going out. The Principal's words gave her a lot of courage.
Year 3 Class C.
Inayah and Clara begun to talk about the past as they walked towards their classroom. When they turned to go inside, someone bumped into Inayah and when she looked up, she saw Samantha.
''Inayah, I'm sorry. I didn't see you'' Samantha said as she looked at Inayah.
''Or you did see her but decided to bump into her on purpose'' Clara stated and smirked.
''Is okay. I didn't see you either, I should have watched my steps'' Inayah bent down to pick her bag that had fallen and Samantha stopped her.
''Let me'' Samantha picked the bag from the floor and handed it over to Inayah. ''Here, sorry about that''
''Is alright'' Inayah replied and heard a sarcastic chuckle behind Samantha.
''You really came?'' Selina asked as she walked closer with Joy.
''I still can't believe it'' Joy added.
Inayah ignored them and went into the classroom. Clara who was behind Inayah looked at Samantha and the girls questionably and muttered, ''and here I was thinking you've changed? Still a white lotus''
Clara pushed Selina and Joy apart before going over to her desk.
''Hey!'' Joy screamed.
Clara placed her bag on the empty desk next to Inayah before sitting down. She watched Inayah as she removed her books and spoke.
''You know, Samantha. She did that on purpose''
''I know'' Inayah wasn't stupid to not notice the former had intentionally bumped into her.
''Oh, look who we have here? The nation's no. 1 most hateful student'' a classmate said as she stood at the door. She chuckled and went closer to Inayah. ''So, you really came, psycho?'' She had a mocking gaze as she looked at Inayah.
''Why? Did you wish I never came back, Sandra?''
''That is what I missed about you. Your unrelenting arrogance'' the girl called Sandra said and clapped her hands.
