Class Fight

A week later, after many torturous rehearsals, I was waiting patiently to be called on stage. The school's production of Swan Lake was a bit dodgy. There was only a handful of students that could dance, with Lindsey being the best dancer.
Although Lindsey had the best role in the whole show, the swan queen, all she did was complain about the role. She never seemed to be happy.
Miss Griffs was stressed, constantly pacing up and down the corridor, and asking me repetitive questions like "Have you memories everything? " or "How are you feeling? ". Somehow I wasn't worried, it was only the school play and my parents weren't coming anyway, so why should I bother?
Five minutes till the show started, suddenly the urge or panic fell over me. What if I mess up the whole play? What if my hands get a cramp? Looking over at Lindsy she looked like she was about to throw up from the nerves. Miss Griffs led me to the piano, hidden behind a curtain next to the stage, peeking around the curtains I saw no one I recognized, just a lot of parents eagerly clutching cameras. Students began to fill in the front rows, the first year's sat at the front, looking happy to be missing lessons. That's when I saw him.
Cillian came in with a group of first years, smiling as he sat down in the front row. I smiled, watching him laughing with the first years. Looking around the curtains, he caught my eye and began to mouth the words Love you.
A cold hand wrapped around my wrist pulling me back to the piano, Miss Griff harshly looked at me before snapping her hands. This was my cue.
I began to play gracefully as a round of applause was given for Lindsy, not me.

An hour later it was half time, peeking around the curtains many of the first years already looked bored. Catching eye contact with Cillian again he smiled at me before he returned to his conversation with another teacher.
"Diana You're doing brilliant! " Flo said, running up behind me and hugging me.
"Flo, what are you doing backstage? " I said, in shock.
"I said I would help with costume changes, that was a mistake, " she giggled, "Lindsy won't stop yelling her head off as supposedly you were out of time? "
I turned around to face Flo.
"Did you not know? " Flo began to look worried.
"Maybe if Lindsy wasn't such a shit dancer, I can assure you I was in time. " angrily I snapped my hand through the air.
"It's fine, " Flo said slowly, " you guys are friends, right? "
My facial expressions changed completely, "no we're not friends anymore, "
"Oh god, " Flo looked worried, pushing her black frizzy hair back with he hands, "we should report it, "
"no! " I snapped, "Dont report it that will just escalate things, "
"Then what should we do? " Flo nervously kept pushing her hair back.
"It's fine, " I pulled Flo's hands away from her hair, "I can deal with Lindsy, "
"But I don't want you to get hurt, " Flo said in a panic.
"I won't, " I said calmly, "What's the worst Lindsy can do, huh? "
Flo nervously giggled before hugging me again.
"I have to go, but stay safe, " Flo said while walking backstage.
Stay safe. Lindsy isn't that bad.

Once again the curtains were raised and I was being snapped into cue. I wasn't out of time at all if Lindsy wasn't such a crap dancer then maybe she would be in time.
***
The applause was given at the end, not for me though. Only for Lindsy as I was hidden behind a stage curtain. Miss Griffs walked up to me, smiling from ear to ear.
"well done, Diana, " she awkwardly hugged me, "All that hard work paid off, " she said, slapping me lightly on the back.
Once again she smiled at me, "Come backstage, we are having a little celebration, " she said, walking off.
I followed Miss Griffs backstage, lots of people surrounded Lindsy congratulating her and complimenting her.
Flo walked up to me, passing me a drink.
"Well done, Di," she said, opening her can of drink.
I opened mine, watching Lindsy smile as everyone congratulated her. Maybe I was being selfish, but I had never hated somebody so much in my life. I mean how come she gets so many compliments and not me? She is such a narcissistic bitch-
"You alright? " Flo cut off my train of thought.
I looked at her in confusion before taking in what she said, "Yes I'm fine thanks Flo, "I said looking back at Lindsy.
Lindsy caught my eye as her smile slowly began to fall, she stared at me for a minute before passing her drink to someone.
"oh god, why is Lindsy walking over, " Flo whispered in my ear. Lindsy marched over to me, cornering me and Flo.
"What are you staring at? " Lindsy said, "Supposedly you have been calling my dancing shit? "
"I didn't, " I said quickly.
"Sophie heard you two slagging me off, " she hissed, "are you calling Sophie a liar? "
"Supposedly you called my piano playing shit, " I hissed back.
"Maybe if you were actually in time, " Lindsy declared.
"Maybe if you could dance, " I murmured.
Lindsy shoved me, pushing me back and making me spill my drink over my shirt. I gasped in shock before pushing her back harder.
"Bitch! " she screamed, slapping me across the face. With this I grabbed a handful of her blonde lush hair, pulling it as hard as I could.
"Girls! Girls, " Miss Griffs came running over.
"Lindsy stop! " Flo screamed still trapped in a corner. Soon enough we gathered a crowd watching us, and mainly cheering for Lindsy to win. This pushed me further to make the first punch to her stomach. Miss Griffs grabbed us both by the arms to try and stop her, but she only found herself getting pushed to the floor as she started screaming for assistance.
Soon enough Lindsy and I both scrambled on the floor in a tangle, kicking, punching and screaming at each other in pain and fury.
Soon enough Miss Griffs had several teachers pulling us both apart, one of the teachers was Cillian, unfortunately.

Both of us were finally split, although still screaming insults at each other as teachers held us back.
"I swear to fucking god when I see you again! " Lindsy screamed, as Miss Griffs pulled her back further. Lindsy was in a mess with bits of her hair ripped out, a bleeding nose, and scratches all over her face.
Although I wasn't any better, I had a bleeding nose, a scratched cheek, a black eye and bits of ripped-out hair.
"What are you gonna do slap me, " I screamed back, getting pulled away by Mr Murphy, "slag! " I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"Whore! " she screamed back, being dragged off by several teachers.
