Chapter 10

Maoris POV

"Hey, how's that jaw?" Yvonne asked as we made our way to history class. "It's ok" Martha replied rubbing her face.

As we proceed into the class, the three of us go to our respective seats, Yvonne beside Carly, Gill beside Martha, and me beside Carl. Come to think of it, since yesterday night at Kyle's party, Martha and Gill haven't been talking, talk about weird. Mr. Todd, our history teacher is giving us a test today and I don't think Martha read at all considering she fought yesterday. "Good morning class" Mr. Todd greeted as he entered the class. "Today's test is going to be easy so, don't get to stressed out" he chuckled and looked at all our faces from the top of his glasses that were perched on the bridge of his nose.

Mr. Todd is an old history teacher; the school says he's the best. He's slightly hunched and wears suspenders every day, who does that? Trust me, when he says it's going to be easy, get prepared for the worst.

He walked around passing us our papers and when he was done, told us to start. Question 1: Who was the first prime minister of Nigeria? Are you kidding me, we aren't Nigerians, we're friggin' Americans, jheez.

The test passed really slowly and it was pretty easy, I kept taking quick glances at the clock waiting for the period to pass and at the same time trying to focus on the test.

Within some minutes I was done with the test, but I could see that Martha wasn't that prepared considering she had a fight yesterday night and she wanted to hide from mom…

Bell rings

"Finally" someone sighed behind me and I chuckled. Next is lunch. "Guys I'm going to the library" Martha airs out and starts to walk in the opposite direction.

"What's up with her?" I ask Yvonne as we make our way to our usual lunch table. Martha hasn't been this distant since what happened in 5th grade. Uh-oh.

"I should be asking you that, you are her sister, her other half" she replied in a duh time while taking out a pack of Oreos from her bag. "You have a point, but you're her best friend and…you are sitting directly behind her in class" I tell her folding my arms and leaning back on the chair.

"Hey guys" Carly greets and drops her tray. "Hi" we greet back. "Where's Martha?" she asks taking a bite out of her pizza. "Library" I try sipping my water. "Okay"

Lunch passed quickly but quietly and the next subject on my schedule is math, which means another test. The rest if the day was alright.

At home

Martha's POV

"Hello Ms. K" Yvonne said walking up to my mom and hugging her. "How was school?" my mom asked hugging me "it was fine" I replied with a small smile. "Yvie are you joining us for dinner?" my mom asked as she made her way back to the kitchen. "That would be lovely but I can't, my mom is expecting me back in some hours" Yvonne replied with a sly smile on her face, picking up her bag and going to my room with Maoris and I following her.

"Lets get this over with, shall we?" Yvonne asks bringing out her laptop and setting it on her laps. "What about your essay?" I ask Maoris, since she's just sitting down idly.

"I've done mine already" she said taking out a novel from my bookshelf.

"So when are you going to tell your mom?" Yvonne asks me looking up from her computer. "She doesn't need to know" I replied taking a space on the floor.

"Mhmm" Maoris hums while spinning her self round on my chair. "You know it's going to come out soon and then mom will be pissed" she continued.

"And also if she hears it f on someone else" Yvonne added. "Yeah, well I didn't fight in school premises" I tell them starting to get irritated by the topic.

"Well , then what if Sophie lies and blames you for everything" Maoris implies. She's right, Sophie will do anything in this state to put me at the center of everything. I can't let my mom find out. No.

"She's not going to find out ok, besides of she does" I paused "she'll send me back to counselling" I sighed "Lets just leave it between us, ok?" "Leave what between us?" mom asks her hands crossed over her chest.

What do you think Martha's mom is going to do?.
