Bam!
"Can't you see, blind idiot!?"
The food in Zaina's hand fell on the floor as the girl in front of her slapped it away.
'Huh?'
Zaina guiltily looked down at her feet where the food had all been spilled on the ground.
'What did I do?'
She wondered, her mind taking too much time to register the event.
Zaina remembered minding her own business and trying to find an empty seat.
Then, a girl bumped into her on purpose.
Zaina glared at the smug girl in front of her.
The cafeteria seemed to hush around her, the laughter and whispers growing louder only in Zaina's ears.
Her heart throbbed as she felt her senses harden.
She knew this game.
She'd seen it play out before, in other noble houses.
Things were always the same.
Just a new face trying to trample on her.
'Let's calm down.'
Zaina thought, taking in deep breaths.
Even though she was angry, she didn't want to cause a scene.
Her family sat just barely above commoners in the noble hierarchy.
