Before Laura knew what happened she was pinned down by the two girls by her side.
"Let go," Laura shouted.
"After we finish dealing with you next time you wouldn't dare to get close to him, not to mention hurting a hair on his body," Sophie mumbled.
She raised her hand and landed a powerful punch on Laura's stomach. A sharp pain spread across Laura's stomach.
She groaned and tried to bend but the ladies refused to let go.
As this took place Tiffany stood at a spot staring into space. Her friends were too preoccupied trying to deal with Laura to care about her.
When they were done, Laura's hair was messed up. Her green and white dress were badly stained and some part of the dress was torn due to how she struggled with them.
"I swear, this is not over," Laura shouted. The ironic taste in her mouth made her spit on the grassy floor.
Laura clenched her fists when she saw the blood she spat out.
"I will have my revenge so better get ready for me…,"
"I can see you need some more beating," Nora said and advanced towards Laura.
The bruised lady hastened away before Nora could reach her.
When she had covered a long distance Laura paused and brought out a mirror from her handbag. She looked at herself in the mirror.
Her blood boiled when she saw the terrible state she was in. Not only did they repeatedly pull her hair but because they kept hitting her face, half of her face was badly swollen.
Even though the swells had started fading they were still visible.
"I got beaten up because of her, I swear that I will get even with her on this. I won't let that stupid girl off after what she caused those mean girls to do to me," Laura clasped her fist.
She glared into the far distance like she could see Joanna from wherever she was.
Back at where the incident took place Nora and the two other girls walked over to the spot Tiffany stood with her back leaned against the wall.
"Tiff, you have been this way ever since yesterday. At first, we thought you were hurt by your Grandpa's action but we are beginning to think otherwise now," Sophie expressed.
"You are not the type to easily get hurt by whatever your grandpa does or says. The old man has always been super strict with you, this is not a new thing…," Nora said. She raised her hand and placed it on Tiffany's shoulders.
"If you run into a difficult situation you can tell us. You know that we are always ready to help you right?" Nora added.
The three ladies tried to get Tiffany to open up to them for so many minutes but all their efforts proved abortive.
Tiffany continued to stand there like someone whose soul was stolen from her.
"If you don't trust us anymore to disclose your worries to us, then fine. We will leave you alone…,"
"I can't believe I was just a pawn in her game of power. I thought she adored me but I just realised that everything was fake," Tiffany mumbled. Her misty eyes got her friends worried.
"Who are you talking about and what do you mean?" Sophie and Doris chorused like they had read each other's minds.
"All my life, I was being used by someone I trust and the foolish me didn't sense this the slightest bit. I am such an idiot," Tiffany muttered and slapped her right cheek hard.
Her sentences were vague, no matter how hard they tried to piece things together they couldn't discover what Tiffany's words meant.
For minutes they tried to find out what went wrong but Tiffany only kept going in circles.
She didn't give them the details they wanted to hear.
When they realized Tiffany was not ready to disclose anything to them they decided to go to someone who might know what is wrong with their proud best friend.
They could swear they had never seen her so distressed.
Back under the shed, five minutes before the commencement of the lecture, Amos and Joanna stood up and made their way to the lecture hall.
While this took place, Sophie and her friends were seen blocking the path of a tall boy in a white shirt.
"What is it now?" Logan narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the three ladies.
"You talk as if we are enemies…,"
"Wherever all of you go, trouble always follows, and as it is I want to stay away from all of you. I have gotten into too many problems…,"
"Weren't we always on the same side so why are you trying to make it look like we are evil…,"
"We stopped being on the same side ever since we got locked up for months because of you ladies, have you forgotten that?" Logan retorted.
He didn't sound polite at all even though they were his cousin's friends.
"You are two-faced…,"
"That is enough," Sophie interrupted the bickering fellows. She shifted her gaze from the frowning Nora to Logan's.
"I know our opinions differ lately which has caused a rift in our relationship but I wish you will help us since this is about Tiff," Sophie said in a calm tone.
Logan wanted to say something but paused after Sophie's statement.
"I thought she would be fine after you girls get together so don't tell me she hasn't gotten over that yet," Logan mumbled. He sounded calmer than earlier.
"Does that mean you know what is wrong with her?" The three girls chorused to Logan's astonishment.
The worried look on their faces as they awaited his response made him realize that they were genuinely worried about his cousin and were not putting on an act.
Although the girls are known for their meanness, they grew up together ever since they were kids.
They look out for each other no matter what.
"I have classes in a few minutes…,"
"Classes can wait but we need to do something about Tiff's condition. The way she acts scares me," Sophie expressed. She held Logan's hand and pulled him along.
The girls stopped to drag Logan when they got to a quiet place.
"Now tell us what the heck happened to Tiff to make her become a walking zombie," Sophie requested.
