Chapitre 1: The library

I was too focused on the work in front of me to notice that there were four other people in the room. "We need to talk", Tali said bringing me out of my own world where I was packing books on to the shelves. I turned around to face him and was met with an unexpected expression, he looked mangry (mad and angry). I sighed, exhausted when I knew this was not going to end well. I know the stories, I am not stupid I have heard the others speak of his gang and what they do. This face before me was not my responsibility and without a proper greeting whatever answer I give will not matter, so he can just carry on. I turned back to continue what I was doing, "speak" I said without any hesitation. " I said we need to talk" he raised his voice I flinched I was shocked and afraid at the moment but I knew I was innocent so I was not to blame for his mood and I should not show any weakness in this. I am mad under all this he has never used that tone of voice with me. I calmed myself down and turned around to look at him and repeated "speak" in what I felt was a confident voice 'or at least I hoped it was'. He grabbed the books in my hands and place them in the box below and pulled me towards the desks in the open area. I took the chance to look around and saw his friends, Ndivhuwo the brute and leader of this pack, Rudzani the sports guy and Rendani the moron of the group. Tali was the brains of this unholy mix of teen boys. He pointed towards the chair motioning me to sit down and I look around the room again and saw Ndivhuwo with a smug smile on his face, Rudzani was facing the other way as if to avoid what was happening, Rendani was admiring his non-existent muscles (ok I lied they are there just its annoying when he does it). I chose to remain standing, with a small smile on my face I said, "please make this quick, I have a few tasks I need to complete before class".
