Chapter 7 and 8: Face slapping The Bullies.
5 minutes ago
When Gabrielle got to the mall, she saw that only one meat package was left which annoyed her to no end. Knowing that she dared not take the meat since it was left for Daniel Smith, the president’s son, she turned to go when she saw Daniel Smith and Donald Donovan walking in.
"Hey, Trouble!" Daniel called out loud and she bowed slightly to them, trying to bypass them.
"Who asked you to go, Trouble?" He asked again, making Gabrielle stop dead in her tracks.
"Your hand is empty, what did you come to get?"
"Nothing, Sir!" Gabrielle hurriedly shouted. What if they thought she came to steal the last meat?
"Say the truth," this time around, it was Donald who talked.
When Gabrielle saw that the almighty Donald was the one who asked, she dared not lie any longer.
"Meat," she replied.
Donald looked towards the meat stand and saw that there was only one left, before turning to the girl in front of him.
"Then go and take it," he said.
His words made David and Elle look at him, surprise evident on their faces.
"Donald, that’s my—" David started, before Donald cut him short.
"I asked her to take it, Dan. You can do without eating meat for today," he said.
Daniel simply kept his mouth shut. Could he dare to disobey Donald, when it was Donald’s father who helped his own father become the president?
However, Gabrielle had another thought in mind as she was already tired of this school. Everyone was wealthy and they were using their powers against her because they could tell that she was not up to their calibre. If she was facing this much problem in her first year, then how would she survive until the last year. Therefore, she came to this decision.
1. She would stay away from all the other students in that school.
2. She would refrain from receiving the help of anybody, especially the three Ds who always had to collect something in return for their help.
"It’s alright, I don’t like meat!" She whispered, before walking away from there. She had to survive this place and graduate, so she could take care of the children back at the orphanage where she grew up.
Donald and Daniel watched her leave, with Daniel’s mouth widened at Elle’s refusal to take the meat.
"She just refused now,right?" Daniel stuttered.
Donald, who was quiet as he watched Elle’s back, frowned slightly.
"Something must be bothering her," saying that, he followed Gabrielle together with Daniel.
PRESENT TIME
The girl walked towards Elle and she raised her hands, descending it on Elle’s right cheek.
"What’s going on here?" A cold voice stated causing everyone in the hall to stand still.
"Don Don is here!"
"Daniel Smith is here too!"
"Are they here to support Tyrone?!"
"Why else would they be here? To support that pauper?!"
Elle could hear the voices of the people around her, before she turned to see it was Donald who had talked. Had they been following her?, she wondered.
"Is everyone deaf in this hall? I asked what is going on here?" Donald repeated.
Tyrone was relieved when he saw the people who entered were his brother’s friends. Surely they would not leave him and support this pauper, would they?
He hurriedly walked to them, smiling sheepishly when he got to them.
"It’s nothing," he chuckled, "I was just punishing this disobedient slave of mine."
"Slave?" Daniel echoed, looking from Elle to Tyrone and finally to Donald who was also displeased by what he heard.
Even though David had proposed the previous day, that Elle should be his sister’s messenger; He didn’t mean it because he knew his sister would not use like a messenger but would treat her like a friend. But what was this that he was hearing?
"What do you mean by she’s your slave? Aren’t we in the 21st century?" Donald questioned. From the corner of his eyes, he could see Elle standing still, with her cheeks red with hand marks. Someone was going to suffer today!
"We are not forcing her. She agreed to it by herself," Tyrone hurriedly defended himself. As his own brother was not present and with the way Daniel and Donald were talking, he wasn’t sure they were going to take his side.
"I don’t care about that," Donald said.
He walked away from there to stand at Elle’s front, staring straight into her eyes.
"Bunny, I might not like you but I can’t stand bullies,"
Bunny 🐰?!, Elle screamed in her head. Why was everyone giving her a nickname?
First, David called her Kitty, then Daniel called her Trouble, and now Donald was calling her Bunny.
"Which is why," Donald continued, "I will not turn deaf ears to what I just saw. Tyrone, you gonna have to be Bunny’s slave for a week while Bunny would get to slap this filthy girl as many times as she want."
The class erupted as everyone wondered if they had heard well.
"Did D.D just say Tyrone Smith will be that pauper’s slave for a week?!" Someone whispered from the midst of the course mates.
"I thought my ears were giving me problem, did you hear that too?!" Another person asked.
Still in the spot where he was standing earlier, Tyrone was shocked beyond limits. It would be alright if it was any other person punishing him for this pauper but Donald Donovan? This guy always minded his business, only interfering in things concerning his friends so why? Why was he concerned about this pauper now?!
"I won’t accept this!" Tyrone insisted. Even though he knew how stupid his actions were as no one could ever disobey Donald Donovan and go scot free.
Donald smirked at the boy’s stupidity. "Alright then, seems like I have to get your brother here," he cast a meaningful glance at Daniel, who walked out to call David. David had not come back since the previous night as he still had other assignments to complete for his father.
Moreover, everyone knew that members of The Mafia were always active at night.
After David was gone, Donald then turned to the girl who had slapped Elle. The girl was also the daughter of a wealthy man who was very close to Tyrone’s father.
"I don’t expect you to disobey my words too," With that, he walked out of the class while leaving everyone shocked.
★★★
On getting home that day, Elle was still shocked as she didn’t know why Donald Donovan or Daniel Smith had helped her when they were supposed to help Tyrone. Had she been wrong about them, perhaps?
Shaking her head, she discarded all her confusion to the back of her mind and bent down to scoop up her kitten, Dora.
"How was home today, Dora?" She whispered, even though she was not expecting any answer from the feline.
She walked to the fridge and opened it, sighing at how empty it was. How the hell would she survive? This community was not safe, the school too was not safe. If she had known, she would have collected the meat...
A knock on her door interrupted her thoughts and she stood up to open the door.
Standing in front of her door was a man who looked like he was in his late twenties. His appearance was rough and he looked like a thug but Elle didn’t think much of it, since this was a slum environment.
Suddenly, her nose was filled with a sweet aroma as her eyes travelled from the man’s face to his hand, in which a basket of freshly baked bread was hanging from.
"Hello!" The man’s voice made her look back at his face.
"Hello?" She greeted back, "Do I know you?"
The man shook his head, a wry smile on his face.
"You don’t know me now but you will in the coming days, since I am your new next door neighbor and this," he raised the basket in his hand,"... Is my gift to you."
"Oh..." Elle nod her head, before stretching her hand to collect the basket from his hand. She was so hungry right now that she could start eating while the man was still there but thank God that she had some shame left in her.
She bade that man goodbye and shut her door, without seeing the evil smile that formed on the man’s face as soon as the door shut.
★★★
As soon as Elle stepped into the school premises the next day, she could immediately sense that something was wrong with the way the students were converged in one area. Her heart was already tense as she prayed that she was not the one who would be punished today again.
Walking forward, she tapped the arm of someone in the crowd.
"Excuse me please, what is happening today?" She whispered. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Without looking at her, the person answered, "The Diamond girls are back!"
"Diamond girls?" Elle asked again.
"Yeah! Shirley Donovan, Donald Donovan’s cousin; Eleanor Smith, Daniel Smith’s stepsister and then Karen McCallum, David McCallum sisteo
