*Brooklyn's POV*
What the heck just happened?! Macey, the bully, just made out with me and I did it back. I saw Laura walk in the building and I felt guilt all over.

*Jessica's POV*
Omg! I feel so bad for Laura! I knew Brooklyn was no good for her! As soon as she got into the building, I ran to her.
"Hey, you okay?" I ask. She shakes her head. "Don't cry." Grace joins us and we walk out to the fields.
"I knew something was gonna happen," Laura says. I hug her. No one should be treated like this, especially Laura...and what happened last time.

*Laura's POV*
I honestly can't believe Brooklyn! I knew that something was gonna happen...just like last time! It's a good thing I have my best friends who care for me. And I've got 7/8 of the middle school on my side. I feel tears trying to come out of my eyes.
"No," I say. "I won't cry over this."
"Don't," Grace tells me. "You shouldn't cry over a guy who doesn't like you." She's got a point and I smile at her...the smile is 100% real.
"Are you guys going to the Chelsea match today?" I ask.
"Can't," Jess says. "I'm hanging out with my friend before she goes back to Brazil."
"Me either," Grace says. "Now my mum wants to go shopping with me. I hate having split parents!" I sigh. I hate going to matches alone. And now that I've been stabbed...it doesn't help.
"Hey Brookey!" the three of us hear. It's Macey. "Want to go to the Chelsea vs. Arsenal match with me?" I know Brooklyn won't say yes.
"Sure," he says...great my misery will be continuing until late tonight. They start kissing again and I think Brooklyn liked it. He backs her into a wall...I look to Jessica.
"Can I borrow them?" I ask.
"Laura...I don't know if you should," she says. "Eden will kill you if he finds out!"
"Please," I beg.
"Okay," she says. We walk back inside the building and we head for Jessica's locker. Thank goodness Brooklyn is in none of my classes, but Macey was in all of mine. Jessica and Grace follow me to the bathroom and Jess hands me a blade.
"Where do I do it?" I ask. "How...do I do it?"
"You just put the sharp end on your skin, and slide it across," she says. "There'll be a scar by the end of the school day." I do as she says, three times...one right below the other. It looks like a cat scratched me. Yeah, it did hurt, but it felt good. No! Don't think that, Laura!

*after school*
I made my way to the elementary building at the end of the day going to Yannis' classroom. His teacher gave him to me and he grabbed my hand. I don't want him to see what I did.
"Want a piggy back, Yan?" I ask. He nods excitedly, and I lift him onto my back.
"Laura!" I hear someone shout as I'm about to leave the parking lot...Brooklyn. I keep walking and he jumps in front of me nearly scaring the life out of me. I move to the side and keep walking.
"What did I do?!" Brook shouts. He's so freaking stupid! I feel tears falling from my eyes and I stop and turn to him.
"It's funny how you don't know what you did," I say. "Leave me alone." I keep walking with Yannis when he finally asks me what's wrong.
"Nothing," I tell him, trying to smile. The tears are still coming out as we make our way to Stamford Bridge which is only ten minutes from the school. Natasha meets us at the entrance and Yannis runs to her. I can't let her see me like this, so I say "hi" and keep walking. Montana Yorke greets me next. I love the wags. We chat while walking to our usual section.
"Laura Hazard!" paparazzi are shouting at me. I ignore them, like I've been trained to, and when we get to the section Montana shuts the door and locks it.
"You okay?" she asks. I have the most dead like stare on my face.
"No," I say. Montana hugs me and I just stand there. She hasn't caught my arms yet...thank goodness.

*after the match*
Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-0. I was on Instagram most of the game and was liking edits of me on fan accounts. I particularly like this one account: @shannonterry_cfc. She's a fan of me and Eden and she nearly freaked when I liked her photos. She sent me a DM and asked me a couple questions, which I gladly responded to. My phone starts beeping...a lot.
Brooklyn🔫: Laura! Answer me please! I wanna talk!
I ignore his texts and make my way to the dressing room. I talk with Andre and soon enough him, me and Montana are the only ones left. Just as I'm about to leave, he grabs my hand and turns me around.
"Laura," he says, concern on his face. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," I say...I'm not.
"Did you cut yourself!" he basically screams. I look at him and the tears are just coming out.
"Why?" Montana asks. Andre welcomes me into a hug, and I cry into his chest.
"I knew Brooklyn would probably do what he did." I say. I started from the beginning. "I just can't deal with that." I don't know if either them understand.
"I'm sorry that happened," Andre says. "I did that to a girl and she never wanted to be part of my life again. She transferred to another school just because of me."
"I don't wanna go to school tomorrow," I say. "I've got a match on Sunday and I want to try and get my mind off this." I just realize that Eden always leaves me.
"You need a ride?" Andre asks. I nod and he leads me and Montana to where he parked. The match was at 3:45 and it's now 5:30. My phone beeps.
Eden👏: going out to dinner with Natasha and Leo. Yannis will be at home. Have fun😘
Me🙌: thanks for the alert. Luv u and have fun also❤️
At 6:00, we pull up to my house. I grab my stuff and walk to the driver door.
"Thanks Andre." I smile. He smiles back.
"Don't let this get to you," he says. I walk to the front door. Yannis already opens the door for me and screams my name. He tells me he isn't hungry and I ask him if he wants to play football in the backyard. He goes to put on his boots, and I do the same. I adore my black Magistas. He has Eden's red mercurials...haha I can see the family relation.
