Malik began chuckling, and Maggie gave him a weird look. Had he hit his head, too? She had no idea what was so funny. When Malik thanked her, she shrugged. ”I don’t care whether my life feels better or not. I just don’t want you complaining about your busted hand. It’s not like things will suddenly be better because I decided to help you.” Maggie groaned when he said it was a joke. It was always a joke with him, same as with Bree. “Oops, I didn’t mean to bump into you! I didn’t mean it when I called you that slur. Lighten up! Do you even know what a joke is?” Her sister would say. All the abuse was a joke. She couldn’t tell her parents because Bree would just laugh it off. Who’d believe the sad little goth girl over the perfect golden child? She was snapped out of her thoughts when Malik thanked her again. Maggie wasn’t expecting that. Yeah, he’d definitely hit his head.
