CHAPTER SIX

Maryam and Zainab soon joined the volley ball practice. They both slipped into the game, thinking that the sport master didn't notice them.

"You two, Zainab and Maryam go seat over that bench there and wait for halftime." He said.

"Uh crumps." Maryam muttered and sat on the bench with a thud.  Zainab joined her as they watched the rest of the girls play.  She was cheering for her friends' team. There on the other wing  of the field were the boys playing football.

Maryam smirked at Zainab mouthing tsk tsk tsk.

When it was halftime and they were given 10mins to freshen up, Jamila and Aisha dragged Zainub to the other side of the field.

"Why were you late and what in the world were you doing with Maryam?" Jamila asked raising a brow.

"That's a long story." Zainab said.

"Zainab, we're asking you and you're giving a damn answer." Aisha said glaring at Zainab.

Zainab sighed in defeat. She knew this two will never let go of her till she said the truth. So she told them all about Maryam's confession, Isma'il's true character and more.

When she was done they both looked speechless. Jamila spoke when she found her tongue.

"Are you out of your mind Zainab?!" She said in a loud whisper. "You don't have any idea what you've done do you?"

Zainab stared blankly at her. What is she talking about? Zainab thought. She should be congratulating me because I did the right think, all thanks to Maryam.

"She doesn't." Aisha whispered to Jamila.

Suddenly the Sports Master whistled indicating that the game will begin anytime soon. The three went back and played their ball. When it was over the Sports Master announced the two winners and they all went back to their various classes.

"Zainab you've messed up, like really messed up. You're stuck." Jamila said immediately her butt came in contact with her chair.

"I still don't get you." Zainab said sincerely. She took out her bottle of water and gulped it down.

"Jamila please just stop beating round the bush and tell her how she really messed up." Aisha pleaded.
