Sia pursed her lips getting angry by the second, she had promised herself not to butt into Samantha’s family issue unless Samantha told her about it but her eyes couldn't block out the whisperings of some of their classmates and even the kind of conversations and blogs that went on the school forum.By just reading a few blogs on the school forum; Sia was shocked to realize that she already had a rough explanation of what was going on with Samantha’s family and she found it hard to attach the girl in the blog stories to the cheerful and punky Samantha. While still in thought, someone that she was sure was definitely Samantha plopped on the seat next to her.“I had them pack your food, you barely ate anything” Samantha started placing the packed food in between them and Sia turned to glance at the packed food before turning to Samantha who had a blank look on her face.“Are you going home?” Sia asked flatly her question, taking Samantha by surprise. She hadn’t thought that Sia would as

Kelvin had a blank look on his face the next morning when Sia showed up without Samantha. He furrowed his brows at Sia who was puzzled as to why he was looking at her like that. “You allowed her to leave?” Kelvin asked a grim look on his face while Sia chuckled realizing what Kelvin seemed to be angry about. “She wanted to meet her grandfather” Sia replied and Kelvin sighed softly. “That prick of a human” he muttered, offering an apology with his eyes before walking away. Sia chuckled seating down on her seat and placing her head on the table. Thanks to Samantha; her insomnia hadn’t acted up the night before and she had gotten some sort of sleep. Turning her head; she realized that Nate’s bag wasn’t on the seat or anything that showed that he was around. Ever since Nate became her seatmate; she had always met his bag on the seat. She always came to school late and Nate always came early. She kicked the chair in front of her and the girl seated on it turned to her with a pensive f

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIXSia sighed softly while she stared at the message on her phone, she slipped the phone back into her pocket. Samantha had sent her a message saying that she was home already. Her eyes strayed to the boys that were still practicing. They had only taken two breaks that Sia wouldn't even consider breaks they took breaks and they were still practicing.Sia refused to believe that the rival school was so so much better than them and that was why they were practicing so hard. School was over but she was still watching them play and practice. She checked the time on her phone again and decided it was time to go.Another glance at the boys and she rose to her feet and the next moment, the boy who she had been staring at for the past hour turned and their eyes met. Without thinking, Sia turned and walked out of the indoor basketball court.Even after walking-running towards the school gate, she was yet to understand why she ran. The thought made her chuckle before resuming w

As a fighter, Sia had been trained in all kinds of positions and what to do when she got into an uncomfortable situation. The moment Zurie had shoved her, everyone had yelled because the way she had done, Sia was going to fall off a whole row of bleacher stands. There was no way she was going to have that kind of fall and not have some broken bones with bruises. The moment she lost balance; Sia’s hands and body had worked faster than her brain, they had worked out of reflex.The other leg immediately shot out and rested on one of the seats to serve as support for her body. The whole basketball court went quiet seeing Sia’s posture. Everyone had a a mortified look on their faces, they needed no one to tell them that Sia wasn’t an ordinary person considering her stance. They had always known so but seeing it brought even more fear to her heart. The one who got the most terrified was Zurie. She hadn’t meant to push Sia off the bleachers, she just wanted to stop Sia from leaving.Her pare

Sia winced again while touching her lips, she hadn’t seen her face in the mirror but she knew her face spoke volumes. That meant for a while, she wouldn’t be able to go and see her mom. The woman could get agitated again if Sia lied to her that she had gotten beaten up by the bullies in her former school.She adjusted the hoodie over her head again as she kept walking. Ruminating over what Penny had told her, she knew that the latter had been telling her the truth. She couldn’t continue fighting those creeps with just what she and Lewis had taught her, she would have to find a stronger person to teach her to be able to beat stronger people, watching videos wouldn't be enough.By all means, she had to find him, she didn’t care what she had to go through, it didn’t matter what happened to her, she had to find him. That was her priority, that was the most important to her, and that was why she had entered the ring in the first place.Sia raised her head upwards and glanced at her apartme
