He held this cold stare. He stabs a piece of broccoli with his fork, eating it. I swallowed harshly. Grey averted his eyes to Innessa and he smiled, nodding his head up towards her.

"Hey Grey." Innessa would smile at him. Grey would silently wave as he ate. My gaze fell down onto my tray. This Samosa is looking quite fantastic today, I thought to myself. I awkwardly grabbed a fry from off my tray, taking a bite and then I stared off to the side. While skimming the cafe, me and Hathor's gaze would make contact.

             She smirked at me and whispered to Anansa who had giggled. Anansa happened to be sitting next to Akal who is laughing and chattering with the people around him. Erasmus seemed to be enjoying himself too.

               I felt somewhat betrayed. How could they sit with the same people who make peoples days a living hell? Now that my sisters gone. These nobodies are taking over again.

              I let out a pitiful sigh. Those girls are going to reign this school like a plague and treat us

"Hurts to see how easy it is to replace your sister, doesn't it?" Grey spoke. I turn my gaze to him.

"She's not being replaced." I uttered.

"Yet it seems that way." Grey responds.

"Can you not talk to me?" I got into his face and he would frown. There was this silence now. Grey gaze fell upon my neck.

"I could've done better.." He kept his gaze fixated on my neck.

"Oh kinky." Alala looked at me with this shocked expression.

"Its not like that. Stop." I held an angry look on Alala. She would throw her hands up in surrender. Grey would chuckle.

"She is so sensitive that it's pathetic. Pathetic isn't really my type." He says as he bites into a carrot.

"Well cows aren't my type either. So you don't have to worry." I rolled my eyes. I steal a cheese from off Innessa's place and she lightly gasped at my action as I eaten it.

"Hmm.. I'd say my type would be your dead sister. I like the soul, the body never matters to me." He held this mischievous smirk.

"Grey cut it out, she's hurt by all of this you know? She harmed her own sister." Innessa says.

"Not on purpose." She had went on. I found my mind falling languish, my mouth drawn back as I stood up.

"Nunu? Where are you going?" Innessa asked.

"I have self respect Nessa, you do too." My gaze fell upon the group.

"I'm not an outcast, so don't ever label me that way." I turn around. I walk off towards the meadow. I stopped when I felt I was far away enough to let out my anger. As I stared up at the sky I let out a loud scream. I was angry. I was angry at myself. I was angry at them. I was angry at this school. This screamed last for some time as the grass would evaporate into ash and float up into the sky.

             "Nimue.."

             I turned to the voice as Innessa just stood there. She hold a fearless gaze.

"What's wrong? I thought they were cool." She says. I frowned at her.

"I don't fit in something like that." I told her. Innessa brows furrowed.

"It's okay if you don't fit in, because I am here with you." She told me.

"It's not okay, I am not a loser Nessa! And I will never admit that I am!" I raised my voice.

"We're not losers! We're not! We just needed a place to sit and they gladly offered! What the hell is your problem? They were very nice!" She yelled right back.

"They literally call themselves outcast! How can you not be ashamed of even sitting next to them after hearing all the things they've--they've..." I couldn't find the words as I licked my lips and just stared at her.

         Innessa held a disappointed look.

"They only accepted the fact that they are outcasts because no one ever talks to them, no one wants to be around them, everyone pretty much thinks they're fools.. They're just misunderstood, and I guess you're just like everyone else Nimue ." I watched as Innessa walk away.

          I stood there and all I felt was. Guilt. I rubbed my face, letting out a sigh. I should've never yelled at her. Maybe I should apologize. As I thought about this, my gaze hovered to the cafe.

          I walk back to the cafe as I thought about apologizing to Nessa. But instead of stopping by over to the picnic spot. I walts right over to Akal and sat right beside him with a smile.

"Hey Akal." I said.

Akal would turn immediately and look shocked for a few seconds before his expression shifted to a soft one.

"I thought you were Nimana for a second." He says. My eyes soften at this. I watched as his expression changed and he pulled me into a hug. This was exactly what I needed.

"Sorry." He said immediately. Kendi giggled.

"I wished I had a brother like that." She says. Hearing that just made me immediately uncomfortable. I separated myself from Akal and pat his chest awkwardly.

"They're not siblings. They're friends. Remember?" Erasmus said to Kendi.

"Oh right—sorry, I am so forgetful." Kendi held this doe eyed gaze. Seriously? I watched as Erasmus rest an arm around her shoulder. They've truly moved on so quickly. I began to space out at the thought. It was as if they didn't care.

Anansa let out a chuckle and I frowned.

"Nimue and Nimana are practically twins." She gave me this siren gaze as she smiled. The atmosphere fell heavy on me. Kendi was eyeballing me weird and I saw Hathor rolled her eyes at me then proceed to interrupt me after I tried making conversation with Erasmus. My eyebrows narrowed downwards. I was frustrated. As they laughed over my sentences, I found anger built up in my throat.

"So uhm, Akal, have you visited my sister?" I asked him, since that's all I could talk about with him.

"Oh yeah, she's doing great. I think she'll be here soon." His voice fell hesitant. He let out a smile and ruffled my hair as if I were an child.

"Don't worry." He says with a smile. He was treating me like a child. I sigh escaped my lips. I wish he could see me differently, and I also wish he was honest.

          I was suddenly pulled into another warm hug as my cheek pressed against Akal's chest. My face felt hot. I didn't do anything else. I just sat there.

"It wasn't your fault." He told me. My eyes went big and I didn't say a word. Is it wrong for me to be in love and act this way when my sister is hospitalized? For some reason, he just makes those sorrowful emotions go away.

"I wish that was true.." I whispered without thinking. Was that how I feel? Of course it is, that's exactly how I felt. But at the moment. All I felt was his touch. He caressed my cheek, brushing away a curl from my hair.

"Come with me." He had said. I swallowed harshly and my stare shifted to the girls. Kendi had this spiteful look.

"Aw, why can't you just stay here with us? I thought we were having fun!" Anansa voice sadden. She had wrapped her hands around Akal's arm, pulling him towards her body. My glance became a glare.

"Its personal. Very personal." He tugged his arm away. Akal then kissed Anansa hand in return. This had made my blood boiled.

"Where are we going?" I asked, disrupting them. Akal turns to me and he just smirked.

"You'll see." He got up from his seat and so did I. Then we walked off together, leaving the cafe.
