Me, Mike, Halley, and Josh all left the ISI building together. Out in the sunlight I noticed that Josh had a big bruise on his face.
"Josh?", I asked.
"Yes?"
"I don't mean to be rude, but what happened to your face?"
Halley gasped and slapped my arm, "NIKKI!! THAT WAS RUDE!!! THERE IS NOTHING.............," she looks at his face, "oh never mind."
"What?"
"There's a big bruise on your face. Does that have something to do with why you were in ISI?"
"Yes actually."
"Well then why were you the only in there?"
"Okay. Well I saw ya'll in the hallway earlier when that dude, I think his name was Rick, um.. pushed you against the locker. When he left and you slid down the locker you were as pale as a ghost and so I took a step towards you to help, but Rick saw me about to go help and he punched me in the face. So, I punched him back, but I'm the one who got caught."
"That's how it always ends out when you get into a fight with Rick. He has connections so he can't get in trouble."
"Well, unless you're a prep around here and the teachers see you do something, you get caught. But they can see the preps do stuff and let it slide. I just think that's plain racist!", Halley added.
"How is that....."
He didn't get to finish his sentence, because someone jumped on my back.
"NIKKI!!!", my gay friend James screamed as he jumped on my back.
"AHHHHHH!!!!!! James, WTF!!!"
"Hi."
I looked over at Halley for help but she was pouting.
"JAMES!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!! I WAS GONNA JUMP ON HER BACK!!"
"Sorry?", James smiled widely at her still on my back.
"No your not.", she glared at him.
"He never is."
I turned to see his boyfriend had joined our group, and our conversation.
"Hey who asked for your comment?", James asked.
"No one."
"Then why did you?"
"Because I wanted to."
"Hey guys. Calm down. James?"
"Yes."
"Why did you jump on my back?"
"I heard about what happened in Mrs. Cheers class."
"What about it?"
"IT WAS AWESOME!!!"
"I know right."
"That was awesome.", Josh butted in.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Nikki's new boyfriend."
"OOOOOO. Good choice."
"Just joking................... I'm her prostitute buddy."
"WWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!! No!", they still ignored my protest.
I just ignored her comment.
"OOOOO. Even better."
Halley gaped at me, "WHAT! When did this happen?!"
I was shaking my head and I could feel the blush creeping onto my cheeks.
"IT NEVER DID!!!"
"Just joking. I'm the new kid who also got put in ISI with her because I laughed at what she said."
"Oh. Okay.", he said looking kind of disappointed.
I glared at Mike. All he did was laugh.
"Okay. So now that we have that situation handled. Who are you?"
He pointed at Josh.
"This is Josh. He punched Rick in the face after he pinned me to the locker."
James looked at Josh, "YOU punched my step-brother in the face?"
