Chapter 48
Chapter 48 Edna
"Did you forget that I am the one in charge of you? If you don't behave yourself, you would rot in your ignorance." Madeline spat.
"I am happy to rot in my ignorance. Who do you think Madam Tayo would blame if I am breaking all the rules? Would it be me or you? I would like to see." I shrugged.
I don't know if this little game these ladies were playing with me was a rite of passage gone wrong, I don't really care.
To me, they have gone too far and I am not going to bear With It.
I believed in a fact, something can only happen once or numerous times?
If I let things go this time, these women might regard me as a pushover and my life for there on would be hell.
"You haven't even spent a day here and you are flaunting your arrogance to your seniors. Is this how you were taught, you mannerless whore?" Another girl with glowing pink eyes sneered.
"That's rich coming from you. If anyone want to call a person a slut, it should be me. I didn't want to be that person but you are pushing me to the wall. Between you and I, who has serviced countless men with their body? It's definitely not me. "I laughed sarcastically.
"You whore!" She replied with a pale face, "You are talking like you wouldn't be in my ranks soon. I will be here to have the last laugh."
"Jade, don't exchange words with her. Don't lower yourself to her level." Madeline said before turning to me, "It's either you go into the water and bring the book up or "
"Or what?" I raise a brow, "Madeline, complete your sentence quickly. Don't waste my time by saying big and threatening words to build your aura. Or what? What are you talking about? What do you think you can do to me? Try to be more innovative. All these things you are doing is just giving classic mean girl vibes. Do something new."
I don't know which kind of drug Madeline took. They expected me to just keep quiet and stomach everything they do. That was impossible.
I wasn't some kind of house pet. I was a wildcat. Anyone that crossed me in any way or form, would leave with injuries.
The girls stalked towards me with Madeline at the forefront.
"If you refuse to do the needful, I will help." Madeline sneered.
Before I could wrap my hair head around her words, she acted.
Her hands shot out and pushed me through the open entrance of the floating hut.
I flailed in midair before crashing through the surface of the water.
Thankfully, I wasn't falling from a very high place. The pain my nerves received as I broke through the surface of the water was minimal. This didn't stop my anger though.
I was furious.
I don't know where the water was from. It was cold and we weren't even in winter season yet.
I look at Madeline with gloomy eyes. She thought she had won.
She had turned her back to me and she was busy discussing with the other ladies. Big smiles was on their faces.
She thought she was wise but, I will let her know I was wiser. I think this lesson should teach her how to behave in the future.
Madeline continued bragging.
I paddled my hands and moved closer to the floating hut.

When I fell, the water washed me away from the hut.
Madeline was still near the entrance. She was lost in her discussion with the others.
I stretched my hands out and grabbed her ankles.
When I secured my hold, I dragged her towards the water with all the strength I could muster.
Anger played a role in my boost of strength.
Another plop sounded.
Expletives flowed out of Madeline's mouth like water.
"You bastard! Edna, you are an unfortunate being! Whore! How dare you?!" She shouted, "I will kill you."
"Bastard? No. I am not a bastard, you are. Madeline, you are just a coward that can't take the same treatment you are dishing out to others. Your head is burning with pride and evil character. It is better to use this water to lower it back to normal temperature. That hotness is causing craziness." I spat.
I swam to the shore.
My hands landed on the shore and I exerted strength. The sooner I climb up from this chilly water, the better.
It would be bad for me. I don't want to remain in this cold for a second longer.
A pale hand appeared in my vision.

It grabbed my hand, "Let me try to pull you up."
The voice was sweet and calming. I looked up to see the owner.
It was one of the women that were standing on land originally.
Her face wasn't the kind that would get classified into the beauty with seductive features category. Still, she wasn't ugly by any means. Her face was welcoming and warm.
She wasn't the kind of beauty that would captivate someone immediately but the feeling of comfort oozing from every pore on her body was a great bait.
I needed her help. I wouldn't be so stupid to reject a pillow that was offered to me when I was feeling sleepy.
I wrapped my fingers around her hand.
Her hand tightened around mine before she tried to help me up.
Our joint efforts succeeded and I made my way back to land.
"Don't mind Madeline, Jade and the others. They just like to have a little fun sometimes." The woman that helped me up said, "My name is Joanna by the way."
"I can understand what you are trying to say." I sighed, "This is not fun. I am an adult. I think I should know what fun entails. This is bullying at the core, let us be real about it." Joanna nodded slowly, "You are right. It is bullying. I just hope you don't have a grudge against them. It should be in your basic interest for you to let their childish tricks go." "What is going on here?" Madam Tayo's unhappy voice interrupted whatever I was about to say.
I thought she left. Who called her here?
