Chapter 5
Neela went home in the evening as she was at Kym's house.She was glad that her aunt was home.
"Hey there." Her aunt called out to her.
"Hi." She said in a unhappy tone.
"Everything ok?Did something happen at school today?" The lady asked her niece.
"No.Its just a stupid little problem.This guy at school wanted to copy off my work and I complained to the teacher and his friends and him are mad at me." Neela replied.
"Well you didn't do anything wrong."
"But they will hate me.Well they already do." Neela said.
"So what?You just concentrate on your studies,that's what school is for studying,not caring about bullies like them.Besides you are only going to be here for a year.The most they could do is tease you.Ignore them if they do." Her aunt advised her.
"Thanks Aunt ginny." Neela said with a smile.
"Now go and get ready for dinner!" Her aunt ordered her, jokingly.
Neela nodded with a smile and did as she said.
Neela didn't have math the next day.She was relieved she didn't have to face Ray and his annoying bunch.It was English period for her.Ms Camille gave out tests for them to do.Kym complained.
"Damn,didn't we have a math test just yesterday?Now English?arrrrrrrgh." Neela just smiled at her friend and started on her work.
At recess Neela and Kym had to face the so called bullies again.At that moment she was so glad that she will only be there for a few more months then she gets to go back to England.
"Come on let's go get some food.Don't mind them." Kym told Neela.
Ray walked up infront of Neela before she could reach the food stall.
"Are you scared of me or something?" He asked her.
"Excuse me?" Neela asked him.
"Well everytime you see me you run away,you know ever since you told Crackshaw I copied your work.Its ok you know I forgive you." He said to her with a smirk.
"Well first of all I am not afraid of you or your cracked up bunch over there and lastly I don't need your forgiveness cause I did nothing wrong.Now get out of my way you bloody wanker!" She raised her voice aware that she was being stared at.Ray raised up his two hands in surrender and moved out of the way.
"Fiesty." Nick said and as usual the whole bunch laughed.
When Ray went home,he saw that no one was home and there was a note.
Son,
Your mum passed out just now soI panicked and calledthe ambulance.They came to take her to the hospital.I will call you later and fill you in if its anything serious.
Dad
Ray put the note down with a worried look on his face.He was about to go up to his room,when the phone rang.
"Hello."
"Ray,its dad.Um i need you to come down to Huntington Hospital now the doctor wants to speak to us about your mum's condition."
"Condition?what conditon?"
"Just come now I'll wait for you at the Main Lobby." His father told him and hung up the phone.
Ray quickly took the house keys and left the house.He rushed to get a cab.He had always been carefree no matter how much trouble he was in but he was worried and anxious to know what has happened to his mother.He hoped it was nothing that serious but he was afraid,very afraid.The way his father sounded it sure was serious.Everything else was far from his mind except his mother.All kinds of thoughts were running through his head like the possibility that whatever illness it is that she's having could take her away for good.
