Stuck In High School with One Direction

Chapter Sixteen

"This punch tastes funny!" Harry shouts into my ear in an attempt to be heard over the music.

"That's because there's vodka in it," I giggle, taking the glass away from him. "How many have you had?"

"Vodka?" Harry's eyes widened and he grabs the cup back from me. "Only 5 glasses I think." He downs his drink. "Lets dance!" He pulls me up from my seat on the couch, and I twirl around, slightly dizzy from my own glasses of alchohol.

Soon we're twirling and jumping on the dance floor, punch sloshing everywhere. Most of the people here had clearly had one too many of the drinks, I thought, watching a girl throw up into an empty bowl.

Just as Maddie joins Harry and I in a twirl around the room, Emma bumps into me, causing me to fall to the ground.

"Oh, didn't see you there," Emma smirks, as Maddie helps me up.

"Fuck you," I roll my eyes. Immediately the rest of my friends had gathered by my side, Niall had his hand on my shoulder and Maddie was standing partially infront of me.

"Excuse me?" Emma replies, her friends also grouped around her.

"You heard me," I snapped back. "I said fuck you."

Before I even realized what was happening, one of Emma's friends had leaped forward and had grabbed my hand in an attempt to pull me to the ground. I immediately grabbed a fistful of her hair, swinging as hard as I could to knock her head into the table. Her head knocked pretty hard and she groaned as she fell to the floor.

I heard Diana scream as Nialls arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me away. I turned just to see Maddie punch the girl who attacked me. Suddenly I felt Niall's arms unwrap from around my waist, and as I turned to look he had kicked one of the football guys in the jaw, causing them to release Harry, who he had grabbed. Harry immediately continues attacking the guy he had originally been fighting while Niall was throwing punches that the guy he pulled off Harry.

Not knowing where to turn or who to look at since everyone was involved in a fight somehow, I threw a punch at Emma instead. Just for the fun and drama. Her nose started bleeding and she reached forward, scratching my arm. As soon as I saw blood form, I jumped on top of her, knocking her over. I had her arms pinned down by my legs and she tried to squirm out of my grip. I smacked her hard againts the face before I was ripped off of her.

Lots of teachers had gathered and was working on breaking everyone apart. Everybody except for Zayn, Liam, Georgia, Diana and Olivia had joined in the fight. I was breathing heavily as I straightened out my dress and hair.

"UNACCEPTABLE!" Someone was shouting followed by grunting. I was still being held back by a teacher so I tried shaking him off, which only made his grip tighter.

"You need to calm down." He told me firmly, now restraining my arms.

"I am-" I try to wiggle out of his grip. "calm!" I gasp as he grabs my arm and twists it. I cry out in pain as he forces it to bend down and my arm starts burning.

Harry and Niall attempt to pull him off of me, but he doesn't budge and I was still trying to remove my arm from his hands. Suddenly I hear a sound and everyone around us goes silent.

Harry had punched the teacher holding me. I was let go and I fell to the floor by how he had pushed me. Before I could even comprehend it, Harry was pushed up againts the wall by the teacher. Niall is immediately by his side and shoves the teacher away from him. I couldn't even hear anything anybody was saying.

Another teacher steps forward. A woman. That was important to me, I didn't want another male teacher near me. She touches my hand gently, lifting it up to look at the red marks on my arm from where the man had held me.

"I'll take care of it." She winks. Finally my brain comprehends that she is my drama teacher. I smile back at her.

I'm not sure what happened after that, all I remember is we ended up in the hallway with our principal and three teachers. My drama teacher was showing my arm to the principal, pointing at the teacher who had hurt me. Maddie had her arm around me, glaring at Emma.

"I saw the whole thing." My drama teacher concludes.

"She was out of control." He spits at her and turns to glare at me. "I told you to calm down." I remain silent.

"That is no excuse to be forceful with a student." The principal says. "The fight beforehand-"

"They acted out of self defense." My drama teacher interjects.

"Yes sir, I can't believe they would just attack all of us out of nowhere." Emma pipes up, making sure to show the blood she had wiped from her nose.

"False. Anna over here attacked Riley first. Riley reacted and they pulled her away." She gestures to Niall. "Anna was going back to attack Riley so Maddie stepped in."

"And the rest? They should not have been involved."

"When everyone starts to jump in to attack your friends, you have to defend your friends." She replies, not breaking eye contact. They continue staring.

"It's too late to call your parents but they will be informed first thing on Monday morning. You will have tonight to at least warn them beforehand."

"And since you are no longer officially students as your finals have passed, there will be no punishment." my drama teacher claps, smiling widely.

"No punishment? I'm not sure abo-"

"No punishment! Enjoy your evening!" She waves us off.

We walk away silently, returning to the hall.

"Anybody else a little confused as to what happened?" Louis asks, his arm interlocking with mine. I rest my head on his shoulder and sigh.

"No fucking clue."

"Who cares?" Harry sighs, interlocking his arm on the other side of me. "We're just here to have a good time, right?"

"They're about to announce prom king and queen." Olivia points out.

"They'd expect us to go home anyway." Zayn says, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Are you suggesting we skip the crowning of the prom king and queen? That's like the entire point of prom!" Maddie whines, hitting Zayns arm lightly.

"No, the point was to have fun." Zayn pushes her hand away.

"And we've had plenty of excitement already." Liam adds, slinging his arm over Olivia shoulders.

"To the library?"

"To the library!"
