Everyone was looking at Jensika, and Mariella noticed that Jensika’s dark skin seemed to have changed to a tone close to that of fuchsia. “Strange,” Mariella thought. “I have never seen Jensika blush.” The maths teacher was snickering. “What happened?” Mariella asked her classmate. “Minguzzi,” the teacher burst out, calling her by her last name. “Think about writing your next assignment instead of annoying your classmates.” Nice, no? At the sound of the bell, Jensika ran away, followed by Rahma. Mariella was held back by Giulia, who wanted to know at all costs where she bought these magniiiificent legwarmers that she was wearing on her fantaaaastic leggings. Mariella snuck off and met up with her friends at the park in front of the school. “Well,” Mariella said, putting her backpack on the ledge, “can I know what happened? The nice one made one of his jokes again?” Jensika was sitting on the ledge, sulking, and Rahma responded in her place. “This scum bag…” she began. “I will never understand how you speak Neapolitan better than me,” Mimmo said while approaching his school friends together with Gaetano. “That has nothing to do with it. That’s only because I was born in Tunisia… do you know how many years I have been here?” Rahma responded in a haughty way.
