I slump down on the floor of the music room and take a deep breath. I just performed for the first time. I just performed for the first time, infront of nearly the whole school. Kellin Quinn is also my music teacher. And Im definitely in for it if Theo finds me alone. I start to panic, Im alone right now. No, Theo wont know to look for me here...will he? Oh god oh god oh god! Please tell me he's as stupid as I hope he is!?! He isnt that tough, but his friends are. There's nobody around to protect me. Im not safe here. I stand up and make my way to the door when I hear voices, I listen in.
"Are you sure she'll be in here?"
"We looked everywhere else!"
"Why are you so depserate to find her?"
"Because she insulted me infront of the new teacher and publicly humiliated me, she also got me into detention!"

What? No I didnt! That was his own fault for using homophobic language, Mr Quinn spotted that, not me!

"Right, yeah sorry I forgot."
"Search the music room!"

Oh shit! Gotta hide! Umm. I hide under a desk and pray they wont see me. I hear them bang on the door of the music room and I start shaking. Then they burst in.

"Heeeaaather? Are you in heeerreeeee?" Theo asks.

I shudder. What are they going to do if they find me?

"Heather you little bitch, where are you!?!" Theo's getting angry now.
"She isnt in here Theo, maybe she went to the girls toilets?" One of his minions asks.
"We already got the girls on our side to check, idiot. She's definitely here!" Theo retaliates.

Please let the teacher come and find me in time. Please let somebody, anybody thats on my side come and rescue me!

One of the minions lies down on the floor and spots me, he smirks. "Found her!"
Theo shouts "GET HER!!!" And one of his minions pulls me out from under the desk, I cower against the wall. Theo snickers "Not so tough now, huh?" I dont respond. "Hurt her guys, she deserves it. Be quick about it too, I wanna go break some windows."
The minions look confused "We could get in big trouble if we're caught doing this Theo."
Theo sighs "DONT GET CAUGHT THEN!!!" The minions nod, one of them punches me in the stomach, making me double over in pain. "YOU'RE A BADASS HUH!?!?!" Another fist makes contact with my stomach "TEACHERS PET ARE YOU!?!?!" A kick to the ribs. "WHERE'S PRECIOUS LITTLE LEO HMM???" A kick to the stomach, Theo snickers "NOT EVEN MR QUINN WILL SAVE YOU NOW!!!" He shouts, I recieve another punch in the stomach before the door swings open. All the boys suddenly look terrified.
"What are you boys doing in my-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?!?!" Mr Quinn becomes livid.
The minions speak up "Theo told us to do it sir!"
Mr Quinn towers over Theo "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?!" Theo looks scared shitless. "BEATING UP SOMEBODY IS AWFUL IN ITSELF, BUT A GIRL!?!?! YOU'RE PATHETIC, ALL OF YOU!!!" He storms over to the phone and dials a number. "Yes, is this the headmaster? Good. I just walked into the music room to find 3 boys beating up a girl. Yes, I know. She's bleeding and I should imagine has several bruises. Uh huh. Right away sir." He puts the phone and turns to the boys "HEADMASTERS OFFICE, NOW!!!" He shouts, the boys all run away. Mr Quinn kneels down next to me "Oh my god Heather, are you alright!?!" I shake my head and the tears begin to fall, Mr Quinn pulls me into a hug "Shhh, its ok. They're gone now. C'mon, lets get you to the medical room." He helps me stand up and walks me to the medical room.

Im given an ice pack for my bruises and Im told to sit in the medical room and "see how I feel." Mr Quinn stays with me.
"Y-You dont have to stay sir, you can go and enjoy the rest of your lunch, I dont mind being alone..." I say quietly.
Mr Quinn smiles "Im perfectly alright staying here to make sure you're ok. What exactly happened?" He turns serious.
I take a deep breath "After karaoke I was surrounded by a group of people I didnt know. They were all asking me questions and I hate being in crowds. I couldnt find my friends, so I ran to the music room. I wanted to be alone anyway, I needed to process everything that happened today. Then I remembered Theo's scowl and the powerful minions he has. I was going to leave the music room, when they came and found me. Theo didnt touch me himself, but I was kicked and punched in the stomach and ribs several times by his minions. Theo kept shouting insults at me, saying I was a teachers pet and stuff like that. The last thing he shouted was NOT EVEN MR QUINN WILL SAVE YOU NOW. Then you came in." I smile. When I look back up at Mr Quinn he's frowning slightly.
"Those boys deserve way more than the headteachers gonna give them. They should be expelled for doing this to you!"
I smile widely "I think everyone wishes they'd get expelled to be honest. Im kinda glad that they didnt use anything else against me though..."
Mr Quinn gives me a confused look "What do you mean?"
I chuckle nervously "I guess you havent read my file yet, or been in any meetings that Im involved in?" He shakes his head "Thought so. I've had a pretty bad time since october 2010...My home situation is pretty difficult...I see 2 counsellors at the same time, I guess you didnt know that either huh?"
Mr Quinn shakes his head "Are you comfortable talking about it? You dont have to, I wont force you."
I shake my head "I would tell you, I just think if you read my file it'll give you more information than I can give you. I guess you could speak to Chris, he's one of my counsellors. Tracy, my other counsellor, wont tell you anything, because our meetings are completely confidential. I think if you tell Chris what happened today, and tell him who you are, he'll tell you my story." I laugh and shake my head.
Mr Quinn raises an eyebrow "What do you mean? Why would he tell me if he knew who I was?"
I blush and laugh nervously "He uh...he's aware of...you and...I've told him exactly how much your band has helped me...you guys have umm...saved me and...I talk about you a lot in my meetings..." I trail off.
Mr Quinn chuckles "Well thats good to know, at least SOMEONE here likes me!"
I raise en eyebrow "How can anyone NOT like you!?!"
Kellin laughs "You'd be surprised! The kids I havent taught yet say Im probably exactly like the last music teacher, Mr..Mouche?"
I burst out laughing and have to wipe away tears "OH MY GOD!!! SORRY, WHAT!?!?! Mr Mouche was like the worst teacher ever! He taught us about music that wasnt from this century or last. Literally! Classical this, and old african tribal music that. I dreamed of the day he'd bring up Green Day! They were the only band I would have a chance of him bringing up seeing as they're pretty old. As for sws, well thats about as likely as Albert Einstein coming back to life!"
Mr Quinn laughs "That bad huh?" I laugh and nod "Well Im glad I saved you all from that then!"
I hold a hand up "So am I!"
Mr Quinn chuckles "What are the chances of having a fan in the school I teach at?"
Im thoughtful for a moment "Uh...I think its about 1/7 but Im not COMPLETELY sure."
Mr Quinn laughs "I wasnt asking for an actual fraction!"
I face palm "Of course you werent, stupid, nerdy me!"
Mr Quinn shakes his head "Are you a nerd?"
I sigh "Sadly yes. Top set for English, Maths and Science. Also a sci-fi and youtube nerd. Have you ever watched Pewdiepie?"
Mr Quinn nods "Yeah, he's FABULOUS!!!"
I laugh "Ok, watch this!" I say just as Mr Gould walks past. "GOULDIMORT!!!" I shout, Mr Gould spins around and sees me. He smiles and does the peace sign over his eye "SWAG!!! How are you? Woah, what happened!?!"
I wink at Mr Quinn and he laughs in realization at what just happened.
"Buncha boys beat me up Sir, Mr Quinn saved me. You've heard me ranting about Kellin Quinn, right?"
Mr Goulds jaw drops "I THOUGHT I RECOGNIZED HIM!!!"
I laugh "Yeah, you should've seen me when I came to that conclusion this morning!" I hold up a hand as though saying it doesnt even have to be said. And it doesnt, Im a fangirl. Its pretty obvious what happened.
