Having to go to school the day after a terrorist attack takes place in your country is torture, especially when you are the only Muslim at school, everybody would give you the looks as if you were the terrorist who blew up himself the day before, like hello, obviously I'm still alive?!!

Blaming all Muslims when a terrorist attack occurs, became a thing after 9/11, and it only succeeded in creating more terrorists.

Personally I got used to it, I just try my best to ignore them, I don't want them to have a new reason to bully me.

And when you try to explain to them that your religion has nothing to do with that, they won't believe you, because they were

pre-programmed not to.

The terrorist attack that took place yesterday was unfortunately huge, about twelve innocent people lost their lives, and about thirty injured.

Some asshole blew himself up, and unfortunately he was Muslim, or at least that's what they said.

I was by the lockers, and everybody were giving me the looks, I ignored them, and opened my locker, that's when I was suddenly pushed into it, the edge of the locker was sharp, it was pressed against my forehead, I felt a warm liquid running down from my forehead and a sharp sting, I closed my eyes and fell to the ground but I was still conscious.

Everybody was laughing at me saying,

" she deserves it "

" Our little terrorist"

"Oh, now she will blow up the school"

I was about to cry, when I heard hard knocking on the lockers and everybody went silent, I dried the blood on my forehead and opened my eyes and it was James beating the hell out of one of the students, James grabbed the student's head and started to hit it against the locker, it looked like he was about to kill him.

" You...are...so...dead " James screamed at him.

" James stop, let him go, it's just a scratch " I shouted at him.

" How dare you?!!! You are the terrorist here!! " James continued to beat the hell out of him ignoring me.

I walked to James, and grabbed his arm.

" James stop you will get into trouble, it's okay, I'm okay " I explained.

James looked at me, saw the blood running from my head.

" You are bleeding !!! " James said in shock.

This made him even more angry, he began to kick him like crazy, I had to stand between him and the student.

" James stop, you will kill him " I said.

James was really angry I thought he would hit me too, but when he saw me in front of him, it was like he has just woken up from his anger fit, and he began to breath heavily like he hasn't been breathing for a long time.

" Let's take....you..to the doctor " he said.

I looked at the boy behind me, and he looked frightened as if he had just dodged a bullet.

We went to the clinic of the school and the doctor saw my wound.

" It's superficial, don't worry, it won't need stitches " the doctor said.

I looked at James who was seriously concerned.

" I told you so " I said trying to reassure him.

James pretended to smile, but he was lost in his thoughts.

The doctor put a band aid on my wound.

" Who was that ?!! " I asked James.

" It's Shane Montoya, I heard his father was seriously injured in the terrorist attack yesterday " James explained.

" Oh, I'm really sorry " I said in sympathy.

" Sorry, he almost fractured your skull !!! " James said.

" I can understand when people are angry, give him time " I explained.

" Girl, can you be any more phenomenal?!! " he said smiling.

We left the clinic heading to the class, it was history time, it wasn't the best day to take history, because.....what can I say ?!! The teacher, Mr Fooly was a little bit racist, he hated everything that wasn't white, I bet he hated chocolate too.

We sat down, James sat directly to my right, and every five seconds he would look at me, making sure I was still alive.

" I'm okay, James, just calm down " I said trying to reassure him.

What a great way to begin your day, an asshole attacked Jannah, and now Mr Fooly, the racist teacher as we call him, hope he doesn't mention the attack yesterday.

" Because we are trying to keep up with the recent events, we will speak today about Islam and how it spread by the sword " Mr Fooly said.

" Great, I guess this day can't get any worse " I mentally facepalmed myself.

Mr fooly started to speak, he kept bending the truth to suit his own desires, and to feed his unexplained fear of Islam and Muslims.

" The liberal media lie to you all the time saying that Islam is the religion of peace, it's the exact opposite " he said.

I looked at jannah, she was looking down as if in shock of his ugly words about Islam, I could feel her pain.

I saw tears running down her cheeks.

" Jannah, are you okay ?!! " I asked in concern.

She didn't say a word.

Suddenly she stood up and left the class without saying a word everybody was surprised of her attitude.

" This is a vivid example of how some people can't handle the truth " Mr Fooly said.

I couldn't take it anymore.

" All you said were lies and pure islamophobia " I said to him, angerily.

" Mr Wayne if you want to go after her go ahead " Mr fooly said smiling like the devil at me.

" I didn't need your permission to do so " I said angerily.

I rushed to the outside, searching for Jannah.

" Jannah, Jannah, wait " I shouted.

I heard no response, so I kept running and looking for her, until I saw her, standing alone in a secluded corner of the school, she was crying.

" All he said were lies " she said when she heard me approaching her.

" I know " I said trying to calm her down.

" That's what we go through on a daily basis, James " she said.

" I know " I said.

I wanted to hug her Soo bad, more than anything in the world, but I knew she wouldn't allow me, and I respected that.

" Jannah, I'm here, I'll be always here, for you " I said trying to reassure her.

She looked into my eyes as if making sure I was truthful, and didn't say a word.

Suddenly we heard a group of students approaching, I looked behind me, and it was Richard and his boys, Sophia and her girls.

" James, my boy, I missed you " Richard said with a smirk.

" What do you want ?!! " I said.

" Is that how you greet me after all this time ?!! I haven't seen you in ages" He said.

" We are not friends anymore " I said.

Then I looked at Jannah," let's go, Jannah "

" Wait, wait, don't you want your money ?!!" Richard said stopping me.

" What money ?!!" I said not knowing about what he was talking.

" The bet, remember " he said winking.

Then he looked at Jannah and said

" See, Jannah, darling, we had a bet about who would make you fall for him, and my friend here is a really talented actor, I didn't know that he would fool you this fast " he said with a devilish smile.

I looked at Jannah, she was really shocked.

" Jannah, don't believe him, he is lying, I told you I backed out of the bet weeks ago " I said trying to reassure her.

" Here is your prize " Richard said, throwing some money at me.

" Richard, stop it, I'm done with your antics " I shouted at him.

" My antics!!! What?!! have you forgotten about our little bet " Richard said.

" That's it " I said attacking him, and it was my worst mistake, I only realised then that it was an ambush.

He had about ten students around him, as soon as I laid a hand on him, I was being surrounded, I was being hit and kicked from every direction, I felt every opening in my face bleeding, but I didn't care, all I cared about was Jannah, I didn't want her to believe his lies.

Suddenly I heard her scream, I pushed through all the people who were beating me, to look at her and to see what's wrong with her.

She was crying, putting her hands over her head, and her scarf was in Sophia's hand.
