Nikki, Renee and Teresa walked into the school cafeteria. Some group of students from their class surrounded them and inquired about the incident in the Principal's office.

"Did you get punished?"

"Did the Principal expell you?"

"Was Poppy cackling like a witch when the Principal expelled you?". A girl with freckles on her fair face said.

"Surely not, no one's safe, Poppy controls the Principal". A dark boy, wearing eyeglasses said.

Suddenly students from other classes flocked around the three girls seeking answers.

"Wait! wait!, jeez!, can't breathe, need space" Teresa said as she coughed.

"jeez, give us some breathing space" Nikki said.

The crowd around them gave space for them to breathe and talk freely.

"So now this was what happened at the Principal's office.........."

Fifteen minutes later, Renee had narrated the event that took place at the Principal's office.

"Wow!, that was amazing", a girl said.

"Or, it could be a lie"

The girls turned and looked at a girl called Camille. Camille was an henchman to Poppy, the third in command of the school ranks only to Poppy.

"Spreading false rumors, I see" Camille said. She had a red hair and it was curled into buns. "You dare talk trash of Poppy, you'll hate yourself for this" she turned and began to walk away when Nikki said "wait, wait, wait" her voice echoed throughout the cafeteria. Camille turned and looked at her.

"If you think we're lying, why don't you ask Poppy herself?. You know for years these students have been shivering in fear because of you, a student died because of you. Though you might not remember", Camille was shaking "what the?!!, you sniveling witch, you don't know what you're talking about"

"Don't I?, now who's the naughty one?. Three years ago a student named Klara died in Moonlit hospital,why?, you might ask. Because some girls who paraded themselves as queens of the school, poured water on the girl who was ill, causing........., the rest I can't even say. You bullying her,caused her death, yet nothing was done about it. Why?, because the girl was on scholarship and she was a thorn to your sides. Well that's event's passed, everything has been sorted out. But know one thing if you wish to be respected, earn their respects in a fair manner, do not taunt or try to control them, they aren't your slaves. Have you ever wondered how it feels to be in their shoes?

Camille looked at Nikki, she couldn't believe what was happening, never in her life had anyone spoken to her in that manner. She ran out of the cafeteria in tears.

"Well, that's a relief" Nikki said.

"YAAAAYY!!!" the students in the cafeteria yelled.

"Give it up for the new girl" a boy said.

"ALL HAIL THE NEW GIRL" they shouted.

"Now, for freedom from the tyrant's rule" a student yelled.

"HIP, HIP, HUZZAH, HUUZZAAH!!!" their voices reverberated throughout the cafeteria.

"Now let's look for a perfect seat and grab our lunch" Renee said.

"That sounds like a perfect idea" Nikki and Teresa replied. They grabbed their lunch and headed for their table.

" Well, you know what guys?", both Teresa said Nikki looked at Renee. "What?" they mouthed.

"Today is a special day" Renee said. "What makes it so special" Nikki inquired, she was halfway through her burger.

"Because, today is the day we proved to ourselves that we care for each other". "Oh, you're right" Teresa said.

"From now on, we'll be BFF'S, promise?". "We promise" they clasped their hands together and said "BFF".

"Hello, heeloo!!!" Nikki jolted. She had spaced out for some minutes, her friends were staring at her.

"Hey girl, you were gone for minutes" "Sorry about that" Nikki said.

"So what were you thinking, girl?" Teresa inquired.

"So what am about to tell you guys, please do not disclose to anyone" Nikki said.

"Ookay, what are we friends for?.Friends help friends, whatever secret it is , it's safe with us" Renee said.

"You know what the news said about my father's death" Nikki said.

"The news that was reported on the TV, Newspaper and the internet. I still remember that day I heard the news, I cried buckets that night. It's-its just so sad, your father was a kind man" Teresa said.

"Well you know what?, the news which was reported on the Television, newspapers and the social media. That news was FALSE".
