"I will get us some punches," Chris said, going over to the table in the center and pours two glasses while everyone is still glaring at Mala.
"Uhm... I'm very curious, did everyone in here go to the eye doctor recently? Because it seems like you guys have a major staring problem going on," Mala said, crossing her arms.
"No, and we was just wondering who the hell are you supposed to be?" A girl asked.
"Oh that's easy, I'm Mala Agarwal," she said.
"And oh my God that accent needs to go," the girls said.
"Okay that's enough, give her a break Ashley," Chris said, breaking up the situation.
"No, who the hell she thinks she is coming here showing off and thinks she's princess Diana?" Ashley asked.
"WHO THE HELL YOU THINK YOUR TALKING TOO?" Mala asked, getting up closer to Ashley's face.
"I'm talking to you skank, I don't like you, now you need to go back to whatever country you came from, I hate you," she said.
"It's okay if you don't like me bitch, not everyone has good taste," Mala said.
"OOOOOOoooooh," everyone in the room said laughing.
"Everything was so much better before you and your people came here," Ashley said.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOU PEOPLE?" Mala asked, getting close to her.
"THAT'S ENOUGH," Chris said, getting in between them, breaking up the argument.
"MALA?" Someone in the doorway yells, and waves their hand out but it is hard for Mala to see who it is because of the crowded space.
"MALA? YOU CAME," Someone said.
"YEAH YOU FINALLY SHOWED UP," someone else said. The person gets closer waving their hands up and their is more people waving their hands. When the hands gets closer, they finally makes themselves visible.
"KATHY?" Mala recognizes.
"HEY GIRL, MALA, you finally came, I'm so glad, you look fantastic, I love the bright colors, it suits you," Kathy said, giving her a tight hug.
"Thank you so much Kathy," she said.
"We so glad you here," Alice said, smiling.
"But where's the rest of you guys?" Kathy asked.
"Oh their at home sleeping, I snuck out to be with Chris, that's really the reason why I'm here," Mala explains.
"WHAAAAAT? You go girl," Kathy said.
"This was an awesome night until that thing over there started messing things up," she said, pointing and looking at Ashley while Ashley is with her girls.
"No shit, what did her boujie ass do?" Kathy asked.
"YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME AGAIN," Ashley yells out.
It is dawning on Mala that maybe she was the one who wrote that racist card letter and put it in her siblings lockers. It is all adding up to Mala now that she thinks Ashley was the one. "I know this bitch had something to do with that card note, I remember when she just says "I don't like you, now you need to go back to whatever country you came from, I hate you." "That totally explains her hatred for me and she tells me my people and I should go back to our country, that's complete racist," she informs Kathy and the rest of the group.
"So what are you going to do?" Kathy asked. While Kathy is waiting on an answer, Mala stares deeply towards Ashley. There is so much rage bubbling up inside of her. Finally she ambles to Ashley and pushes her hard to the counter.
"IT WAS YOU, IT WAS YOU WHO DID IT," Mala shouts.
"DID WHAT? GET OFF OF ME, SOMEONE PLEASE HELP MEEE, GET THIS SKANK BITCH OFF OF MEE," Ashley said.
"WOO, WOO, WOO, WHAT'S GOING ON MALA?" Chris asked, pulling Mala back from Ashley.
"SHE DID IT, HER ASS DID IT, SHE HATES ME AND MY FAMILY SO BAD," she said.
"DID WHAT?" He asked.
"SHE PUT THAT THREATENING CARD NOTE IN ME AND MY FAMILY'S LOCKERS, YOU RACIST BITCH, WHY DID YOU DO IT? TELL ME WHY? WHY DID YOU? YOU HATE INDIANS SO BAD? WHAT MAKES YOU HATE US INDIANS AND WE DID NOTHING TO YOU?" She asked.
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL SHE'S TALKING ABOUT, WHAT NOTE?" Ashley asked.
"DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME NOW BITCH, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID. I CAN NOW TELL THE PRINCIPLE IT'S YOU," she said.
"HOLD IT, HOLD IT MALA, calm down, just calm down, we needs some space, everyone out please," Chris said, but no one listens. "DID YOU HEAR ME, I SAID EVERYONE GET OUT, WE NEED SOME AIR, AND THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO KATHY AND ALL OF YOU," he demanded.
"Okay guys, let's give them some space, let's go," Kathy said, while everyone leaves the kitchen.
