“For real Sara! How did you pull that without getting hit by anything?” Ivy asked me while we were in the locker rooms. I smiled at her before opening up my gym locker.

” you could have done it too, it was only about seven or eight rows of it.” I said. Ivy had a smaller figure than me and was quick on her feet, she probably could have made it if she tried. She shook her head before looking back at me.

“That was ten rows of daggers Sara!” Ivy exclaimed, not forgetting to wave her hands around to add affect. Some other girls were looking at us, probably wondering why we (Ivy) were yelling. I quickly shushed her before looking apolitically at the other students.

“Stop screaming!” I whispered at her, flicking her forehead. Her nose scrunched up before she rubbed her hand on her forehead gently.

“Stop flicking me!” Ivy said. A hand smacked the back of both of our heads.

“Stop it you guys!” Violet shushed. We grabbed our gym bags before heading out of the locker rooms. Only to bump into a familiar face on the way out. Violets face instantly changed into a look of uneasiness, Ivy had a look of disgust and anger written all over her face.

Emily was standing there with a small band aid on her cheek, looking at the three of us with a smirk.

“Look what the cat coughed up.” She said, her three henchmen giggled from behind her. I looked at ivy and started to notice the drop in the temperature. I grabbed her fist and tried to calm her down. I then looked at Emily.

” you guys can laugh all you want,” I said. “But don’t you ever forget your place.” My gaze hardening.

“Place?” Emily laughed. “Aren’t you one to talk.” She said, her arms still crossed.

I ignored her and turned to one of the girls behind her. “Isn’t that right Jasmine?” I said smirking. “you were really injured the last time we met, how’s your back doing now?” I said still glaring at her. Her eyes quickly moved to stare at the ground and her hands shook uncontrollably. I smiled.

“Right, we’ll be on our way now, see you girls later.” I said. I signaled Violet and she quickly grabbed Ivy and rushed behind me.

I glanced at Jasmine once more before leaving with Ivy and Violet.

“That Bitch!!” Ivy cursed loudly the second we got outside. She cracked her knuckles and looked at me.

“You should have let me at her Sara, I could’ve taught her to keep her mouth shut.” Ivy said. I shook my head.

“We’re not going to stoop down to her level, besides, I got what I needed.” Ivy looked at me confused.

“What?” She said. I shook my head again.

“I’ll tell both of you later.” I said. Just then, someone came from behind me and put there arm on my shoulder.

“Sup guys!” Luke’s voice rang out. I jumped slightly and quickly moved from in front of him. My face turned pink remembering the night before. I looked at the ground.

“H-hi.” I said nervously. “Where are the others?” I then heard Violets scream from behind me. I quickly turned around.

“What happe-” I stopped midway. Jacob was carrying Violet bridal style. Ivy whistled and started clapping.

“When’s the honeymoon?” She asked them, proceeding to burst out in laughter. Violet was blushing like crazy and covered her face. While Jacob was, smiling?

“That’s a first.” Luke says “Jacob smiling.” I giggled before looking at him. He looked at me smiling, I pointed to the 4 before pointing to the sidewalk. Luke looked confused at first but then understood.

“3!” We both yelled and made a run for it, rushing down the sidewalk trying not to bump into anyone. Laughing the entire time. We stopped the bus stop and sat down breathless.

We looked at each other for a second before we started laughing hysterically, I was leaning on his shoulder clutching my stomach for dear life. Once we calmed down we started walking in a random direction, we still had about thirty minutes left of lunch so we would go back in a bit.

We talking about random things and told each other small things. Till we hit a stop in our conversation. We walked in an uncomfortable silence before I decided to bring up another topic.

“Since how long have you known Emily?” I asked him. His expression turned into an annoyed one.

“Since we were in diapers.” He answered. “She’s like a Sister to me.” He said.

“But, you look kinda annoyed to talk about her?” I asked. He sighed scratching his neck.

“Well, she seems to be getting a little bit, clingy? It would be nice to take a step away from her.” He said. I nodded my head and hummed in response.

“I get that.” I said nodding.

” by the way, how is Violet doing?” Luke asked me. “Did she tell you who did it yet?” He said. I thought for a moment. Yes, I would like to tell him, but wouldn’t it just make him dislike me? After all he said Emily was like a sister to him. And wouldn’t I be making it harder on him to drop her?

“Sara?” He said looking at me worried. ” you spaced out for a bit, are you ok?” He asked. I quickly waved my hands and nodded my head.

“Yes! Yes, I’m fine. Sorry. Um, and no, we didn’t find out who it was yet.” I lied. Feeling my stomach turn from lying.

“Oh ok, well I hope you find out soon, who ever did that is seriously messed up.” He said, shaking his head in disapproval. I paused again. What I did to that girl jasmine makes me no better than Emily, what if he hates me?

What am I saying.. he should hate me.

“Sara!” I shook my head and looked at him, his face showing more concern than ever.

“Are you sure your ok? We can head back to the school if you want.” He said worried.

“Uh sorry about that. I’m- I’m-going to go back now, uh sorry. Sorry.” I apologized repeatedly.

“Hey hey, it’s fine, okay? Let’s go back to the school. ” Adam said rubbing my back softly. I nodded my head before continuing our walk back.

We got back to the school and we went our separate ways, but Luke was persistent to stay with me. After finally convincing him to go find the others, I rushed to my locker grabbing a small bottle before running to the bathroom. I ran into a stall and closed it. My breathing starting to get uneven.

I quickly removed the cap of the bottle and put two of the tiny pills in my shaking hand.

I raised my pills towards my mouth and quickly swallowed them. I stayed in the bathroom stall for a few more minutes before unlocking it and looking in the mirror. My eyes were flickering from green to red and my breathing was uneven, my uniform slightly wrinkled. I heated up my hand a bit and splashed a tiny amount of water on my uniform. I hovered my hand Ofer my uniform and soon enough all the wrinkles were gone. I brushed through my hair slightly with my hand and splashed a bit of water on my face. I took a breath before leaving the bathroom.
