AT AUGUSTINE'S RESIDENT.
At the dinning Cassandra kept a live conversation.
"she is so fat that I wouldn't say the effectiveness of her brain was also." Cassandra spills,
"so you mean she tried to bully you (Augustine laughs) she's got the wrong target."
"I tell you, a bunch of 'em....meanies born fools; I would have spat on 'em faces but you know what I'm a very disciplined daughter; I took after you." boastful, she spoon fed herself.
"you say what?, hell no, you didn't, your mom did a good job making you her photocopy." Augustine tells.
"I'd act like I didn't hear that, I'm going to my room." Cassandra picked up her meal walking away.
"what you doing that for?" Augustine inquired.
"I don't hear you!" she replied.
"I didn't tell no lies, Cassandra." he said loudly to her hearing jokingly.
FRIDAY;
AT THE SCHOOL'S CAFETERIA,
Taylor sat all by herself having her meal, the group of meanies approached her, Molly sat by her snatching her sandwich,
Zoey deliberately threw her cup of coffee at her "whoops!" staining Taylor's white dress.
Molly caressed Taylor long blonde hair muttering " I love your hair, but they look horrible on you." laughing manically.
Molly disposed the sandwich to the ground and moved to the next victim.
Taylor ran to the restroom trying to wash off the stain, she broke down in tears.
Cassandra came out from one of the toilet's door, noticed Taylor trying to hide her tears; she washed her hands and left in silence.
Cassandra in the cafeteria having her baguette was approached by the meanies but she wouldn't care, Molly tried snatching her snack but got slapped, this singular act got the meanies shocked to their bones.
Molly held her cheek whole Cassandra dropped her snack on her plate not caring what would come next.
Molly retaliated, and they engaged into a terrible fight.

she hated been controlled, she wouldn't care who got hurt but she hated oppression.
The two girls were called to the principals office.
their gudian were summoned to the school pertaining their offence, they were suspended for a week.
Augustine took his daughter home while Molly's granny did same.
AT MR. AUGUSTINE'S HOME.
"you should have just let go, it's not all you fight about!" Augustine scolded, mad at his daughter.
"she tried taking my fine bread and you know how much I love 'em." Cassandra spoke in a tearful manner.
"I'm calling your mom!" Mr. Augustine said heading for his room.
"I won't cry, I won't cry." Cassandra reassures herself as guilt swells her emotions.
MR. WINTLER APARTMENT.
Augustine and Arnold are seen chatting during dinner together.
Taylor stares at Cassandra; shocked but excited to see her at her house, she wouldn't believe Cassandra was Mr Augustine's daughter.
Taylor overly overwhelmed to eat, shyly stares at Cassandra whom notices her.
"why're you staring at me like that?" Cassandra asked dropping her cutlery.
"you are so bold!" she replies ..giving Cassandra a smile.
"and you are so meek." Cassandra complimented.
the two men took their meal to the sofa to watch soccer.
"you want to see my room?"
"you have some heaven up in there?"
"you bet!" they rushed up to Taylor's room.
Taylor had a lot of drawing and painting in her room, it was a gallery.
"wooh, you did all this?" Cassandra awed.
"yeah, I also tried drawing Augustine but it was ruined." Taylor informed.
"by a chewed gum?"
"yeah, how'd you know that?"
"i saw it; if I may ask whom was the rascal?"
"what rascal?"
"who ruined the drawing?"
"Carol did." Taylor faked a smile.
"how'd you take all those bullies and still remain sane?" Cassandra sat on Taylor's bed as Taylor does same sitting close.
"hmm....I guess, I'm just built to be bullied."
"who in hell told you that?" Cassandra pissed by her answer.
"I know so, no one did, I took after my mom." Cassandra points at a drawn portrait of a woman.
"yes, she is." Taylor affirms.
"where is she now?"
"I didn't get to meet her." said sadly "I'm so sorry." Cassandra feeling bad.
"it's okay (she dries her tears with the bed sheet, she added) how did you become so bold?"
"I think, I resonate with my mom after a longer thought; I thought it was my dad but he rejected it." they gave themselves a soft laugh.
"do you ever plan on becoming more than the bullied?"
"like a become a bully myself?"
"No.....not what I meant, have you tried standing for yourself and saying 'no' to the way you're treated?"
"I just cant."
"I saw the way Williams embarrassed you yesterday, don't you wanna revenge him or make him regret his actions?"
"how do I do that?"
"by been more than meek, Taylor."
"Williams really like you, just a few days and you got him and no i don't want to revenge him, i can't force him to...like me also."
"Girl you are so brainwashed." Cassandra reacted.
RECEDE MEMORY,
ON A THURSDAY:
Cassandra opens her locker and finds a pen down note; she reads it and was disgusted then threw it over her shoulders.
Taylor walked pass but bent to pick it without Cassandra realisation.
Williams had written a letter for Cassandra on how he admired her.
Taylor still had the letter when Williams and his friends had approached Cassandra whom had a bottle of water to her mouth.
She locked the bottle turning to listen to what he had to say, he presented a rose flower but Cassandra rejected it.
Taylor lurking around in a corner watching Cassandra been difficult for Williams to sway with his attractiveness.
Taylor brought out a pen and changes some details on the letter, she snuck the letter in his locker;
AT THE CAFETERIA,
Williams and his buddies approached her, tore the letter making the pieces flow from her hair to the ground.
While others found it funny, Cassandra found it 'a mean thing to do'. But Cassandra wouldn't react.
IN THE PRESENT
"what was on the note?" Cassandra enquires.
"what note?"
"the piece of paper Williams sprayed on you?"
"I had picked up (uncomfortable)the letter you threw...(Cassandra smirk) made some few changes on it, ....and ...slipped it in his locker." Taylor explained.
"you like him that much, huh?"
"I guess." throwing her gaze away from Cassandra.
"I don't want to be a bad influence but girl you need a makeover." stroking Taylor's hair.
"so what do you say?" Cassandra added.
"I'll think about it?" replies fearfully.
"seriously girl?"
"tomorrow is Saturday could you come over?" Taylor asks excited.
"you want me to?" Cassandra equally happy.
"yea, you would be my first friend from ORLAND."
"really?, you haven't had any friend in that school?"
"everyone is not so friendly." straining her eyes.
"OK, you'd be my first friend from ORLAND also..." Taylor cuts in overwhelmed "ye!, we would have a long discussion, and I'll show you around the neighborhood, what do you say? "Taylor showing off her white tooth.
" that sounds nice, don't you think?"
"yes, it's going to be fun." Taylor trying to remember "you had a fight with Molly, right?" wearing a more serious facial expression.
"yeah, I did." Cassandra affirms.
"what did the school principal..." Cassandra interrupted "I'm under suspension for a week." Cassandra sharply replies unmoved by the punishment.
