The phone rang. "Hello?" I answered. "Mandy, this is the principal. I've contacted Hannah's parents and Hannah will be suspended for 2 months." the principal said. "Okay." I replied. "Bye." I hung up. I walked to the living room and found my dad making a sandwich.

"Hi, dad." I greeted. "Hey, sweetheart." my dad replied. "The principal called." I said, opening the fridge. "What did he say?" my dad asked. I grabbed a water bottle. "Hannah is suspended for 2 months." I replied, taking a sip of the water. "Good." I heard my dad mumble.

"Dad, I'm gonna take a walk around the park." I said. "Be careful." my dad said in a serious tone. I nodded. I walked out of the house. I stopped walking when I saw my mom's house. I decided to knock on her door.

I knocked 3 times. My mom opened the door. "Hannah." my mom said with no expression. "Mom." I replied, looking down. "What are you doing here?" she asked, giving me the 'You-Better-Leave-Right-Now' look. "Leave...now!" she yelled. "Mom, what made you hate me so much? What did I do wrong?" I asked as tears started falling down on my face.

"You worthless piece of shit, get out of my house right now!" she shouted. "You don't belong here." she stated. "Mom, I'm sorry for whatever I did. Please stop hating me. Stop abusing me." I said. I cried. "Mandy, I don't want you here. Leave or I'll call the cops." my mom threatened. "Oh really? Then I'll tell them that you have been abusing me." I talked back.

"DON'T USE THAT TONE TO ME, BITCH!" my mom shouted. "Well, it's true." I replied. Then, I felt a stinging sensation on my cheek. My mom slapped me. She threw me on the ground and began kicking me. I groaned as the pain starts to rise. "S-stop." I managed to speak out. My mom took out a small knife and began cutting my arms. "Stop, mom. It hurts." I said, crying.

"YOU DESERVE IT!" she yelled, cutting my arm deeper. I managed to run away. I ran back to my dad's place. I slammed the door and cried on the bed. "Mandy, are you okay?" my dad asked. I shook my head. "No." I quietly said. "Everything will be alright." my dad said, hugging me. I hugged back. "What did she do to you?" he asked. "She kicked me. She c-cut me." I stuttered.

Just then, my dad grabbed the phone and began calling 911. "Dad, what are you doing? Don't call 911." I said. "It's for your own good, Mandy." my dad replied. I ran to the bathroom and locked the door.

My dad knocked on the door. "Mandy, please open the door. I called the cops. They will arrest her." my dad explained. I opened the door. "Dad, I love mom. I don't want to see her in jail." I said. "Sweetheart, if she is not in jail, she would continue hurting you. I don't want that to happen." he replied.

I sighed. "Dad, I'll go to the beach." I said. "Be back before 6." my dad said. I nodded. I walked to the beach. Once I arrived, I sat down on a bench. I wore earphones and listened to music.

5 minutes later, I stopped listening to music. I put my phone and earphones in my pocket and entered Starbucks. I spotted Chandler and Claire talking. I decided to eavesdrop. I grabbed a newspaper and pretended to read it. Here's what I heard.
C=Claire Ch=Chandler
C- Chandler, I need your help.
Ch- On what? Claire, I'm supposed to tutor you.
C- Help me get revenge on Mandy.
Ch- Hell no. She's my girlfriend.
C- I'll pay you a hundred dollars.
Ch- No way.
C- How about 200 dollars?
Ch- Fuck no.
C- I'll make it 500 dollars.
Ch- I am NOT doing it, Claire.
C- Whatever.
Ch- I'm serious.
C- Here's what you're gonna do. You break up with Mandy and I make-out with you in front of her.
Ch- Hell no!
C- I'll pay you a thousand dollars. I'm rich, Chandler.
Ch- Claire, I'm supposed to tutor you in math and that isn't happening.
C- Whatever.

A smile formed on my face. I knew he wouldn't listen to that bitch. I walked outside and accidentally bumped into a guy with light brown hair and dark brown eyes. My jaw dropped open when I saw his abs. "You like?" he asked. I nodded. "I'm Austin." he said. "I'm Mandy." I replied. "Love that name." he complimented. "Aww, thanks. I love your name, too." I said.

"Is it okay if I have your number and we can hang out as friends?" he asked. "Sure." I replied. We exchanged numbers. "I'll see you later, Mandy." Austin said. I smiled in response. He left.

"Who was that?" someone said behind me. I turned around to face Chandler. "He's no one." I said. "Are you sure?" he asked, crossing his arms. My phone dinged. I took out my phone and saw that Austin texted me. He wrote: 'Hey, wanna hang out after school tomorrow?'

I texted back: 'Sure. Pick me up in front of Etowah High School.' He replied: 'Sure. We can go to Starbucks.' I smiled and texted: 'Okay:)'

"Earth to Mandy!" Chandler said, shaking me. "Who was that?" he asked. "Chandler, it's no one." I said, putting my phone back into my pocket. "It sure is someone. Mandy, give me your phone." he said. I handed him my phone. He looked at it. "Who is Austin?" he asked. "He's just a friend." I said.

"Mandy, I don't want you to hang out with him." he said. "But Chandler---" he cut me off saying, "NO BUTS! I DON'T WANT YOU HANGING OUT WITH OTHER BOYS, MANDY! I DON'T TRUST THEM! DO WHAT I SAY!" he yelled. A tear slipped out of my eye. "IT'S NOT FAIR, CHANDLER! YOU GET TO HANG OUT WITH CLAIRE!" I yelled back. "BUT WE BOTH KNOW HER!" he shouted. "WELL, I DON'T TRUST HER!" I screamed. I started crying. "Mandy, I'm sorry." he apologized.

He wrapped both of his arms around me. He kissed my forehead. "I just don't want to lose you." he whispered. "Me too, Chandler." I whispered back. "I love you so much, Mandy." he said. "I love you, too." I replied. His lips attached to mine. "Chandler, I have a question." I said as we let go.

"Sure, what is it?"

"Is it okay if I hang out with Austin tomorrow after school?" I asked. "Are you guys hanging out as friends or as a relationship?" he asked. I laughed. "As friends, Chandler." I said, kissing his cheek. "Okay." he replied. "Thank you so much." I said.

"What time is it?" I asked. "6:37." he replied. "Shit, I'm supposed to be home by now. I'll see you later, Chandler. Bye." I said as I ran to my dad's apartment. I went on the bed and fell into a sleep.
