"Thanks"

After some time, our professor arrived and I was asked immediately to do the reporting. My hands are wet and shaking. My heartbeat is in a race and it seems like I'm not hearing anything. I close my eyes and breath before I started talking.

I didn't look at anybody. My eyes are fixed at the wall at the back. I did have a lot of dead airs and stutter a little but I made it. I finished the report with no one laughing and surprisingly they are all attentively listening.

I made it!!!

I heard a lot of compliments from my prof before I take my seat.

"Wow, you did great today." Ali was giggling and hugged me.

"Thank you, I can't even believe I did it." I whispered. I was also amaze with how it feels to be great in the things I don't usually good at. I think I overcome my greatest fear today.

After classes Ali and I was welcomed by weird stares and provoking laughter’s. They are following us with their eyes as we walk inside the school cafeteria. They are whispering with their friends as they eyed us with such a contentious stare. It looks like everyone is talking about us.

"Ali, all eyes are on us" I whispered to her.

"Don't mind them. They might be talking about my beautiful hair but I don't care. I AM BEAUTIFUL NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY..." I laughed as she sings the song loudly for everyone to hear. I really admire her confidence. I wish I have that too.

"Alison you're prettier with your tangled hair" someone shouted from the back of the cafeteria.

"Yeah, I know" Ali shouted back but she raises a middle finger. Ohhhh.

Everyone was hype up with what she did and they are shouting "Whooooooooo".

"Javier is prettier though, imagine he manages to get a rich sugar daddy. You can't deceive us anymore Nerdy slut!" he rudely attacks me. I felt stiff with his unanticipated onslaught.

I suddenly felt embarrassment rushing in my blood as the attention of everyone was now on me. They are bickering and I can't do anything but to lower down my head with my face so red. I don't know what to do in a circumstance like this. I am taught by my cruel aunt to listen and never talk or fight back.

"Fuck you Richardson!!! Shut up Bastard. She's not a slut dumbass!" Ali angrily yells at him. She holds my wrist and pulled me outside the cafeteria. I can feel her shivering with anger.

"That asshole" she said with a grinding teeth.

"I thought I was the nosiest student here in the University, now I know that I am not. Richardson is an asshole for minding about other people's affair. Well, I am peeking at other people’s life too but I'm not announcing it in front of a crowd. I'm only sharing it with you" she continuously rants and rave while she is ceaselessly taking long strides pulling me with her.

We reach the parking lot and she opened her car and push me in.

"Let's eat outside the campus. We don't belong in that cafeteria. It's cheap and full of energy drainer folks. Very unhealthy." she said as she buckled her seatbelt. I quickly wipe the tears that are flowing in my cheeks and buckle my seatbelt too. Ali looks at me and when she saw that I have tears in my eyes she freaked out.

"The hell, are you crying? Oh my gosh" she's in panic and seems like she doesn't know what to do. In the end she handed me a tissue.

 "Don't listen to them, they are all assholes. Don't cry OMG!"

"I'm sorry" I apologized for my weakness and wipe my tears. I know I shouldn't be crying with this petty thing but I am so hurt.

"Why are you saying sorry? If there is someone who needs to say sorry it must be that fucking Richardson." she rolled her eyes and say his name with too much hatred on it.

"I should have fight back and not cry." I spoke. I am always aware with what should I do but never got the courage to protect myself. Besides I don't want to be in trouble.

"Don't worry. You got me; I can really make that Richardson kneel in front of us but I don't want to be a quarrelsome rascal in front of you so I skip the trouble. And I don't want us to end up having detention knowing you have a very clean record. I don't wanna ruin that." she starts driving.

"Next time I will curse him" I pouted and Ali laughed.

"I like to hear you utter a bad word but I'm sure it will just sound so bad from your mouth. You're too holy to say bad words HEAVEN. See, It doesn't even suit your name" she really emphasized my name.

"Hey I am cursing too, but mostly just on my mind. I never said it out loud" she laughed even more while I am here being so proud that I have a bad cursing mind.

"You and you're handsome hot of a boyfriend are really opposite. I read some articles about him you know and found out he is a cursing machine with an overheated head. He is labeled as one of the successful bachelors in our country and the SEXIEST AND HOTTEST of them all. He got a bad reputation when it comes to his relationship to employees though. What a monster in a mask of a prince " She is insulting and complementing Deus at the same time.
