"What! Did you tell the coaches?" I exclaimed hearing what Tom had said to Jadon and he shook his head negatively."Why didn't you say? he can't say that Jadon!" I asked in shock.

"what's the point?" he sighed.
"the point is you're being punished and he's not when it's not your fault," I said frustrated. Jadon didn't reply to me and just sat there in his thoughts.

"Tomorrow when you go to training go and tell the coaches what happened" I said and he nodded. "come on let's go to school", I said standing up before pulling him up.

"so are you excited for your first day?" I asked him excitedly trying to lighten the mood.
"I guess." he smiled nervously
And I laughed a little "you will be fine"

When we arrived, Tom was waiting outside the gate for me like he normally does but I just wasn't in the mood to talk to him. "let's go the long way" I suggested and Jadon agreed.

We walked round and into school then went to our lessons, Tom was in the year above so I didn't have to worry about him until, the break that was.

Jadon, my friend Tyreese and I walked out of our classroom onto the playground when I saw Tom standing with his friends.
I began to walk past him looking down to the floor but he spotted me.

"Do I not get a hi?" he asked looking a little upset, but I didn't respond I tried to continue walking but he grabbed my arm tightly, a little too tightly. "ow!" I muttered quietly but I think Jadon heard as he looked mad.

"Baby, what's up? Why are you airing me?" he asked. "Because you're a racist," I replied angrily.

I heard him laugh a little before speaking "What do you mean babe?" he asked me like he was clueless and don't think I didn't notice how he randomly started calling me nicknames like 'baby' thinking it would annoy Jadon.

He then turned to Jadon "What shit have you been telling my girlfriend?" he asked.
"Hey Tom calm down, give him a break it's his first day" Michael, the only one of Tom's friends I like said. By this point, a lot more people had come around to watch instead of going to lessons. "what happened Zuriel?" he asked me.

"What happened is that Tom called Jadon the N-word!" I said angrily. He looked to Tom who was trying to laugh it off, "you think it's funny?" a boy from year 11 asked pushing him.

"I didn't say anything there clearly lying!" he said but everyone knew that wasn't true. Tom went over and shoved Jadon, who stumbled back a little before getting his balance and running at Tom.

Tom pushed Jadon back towards me and went to hit him but missed terribly hitting me instead of him. Teachers had now spotted the commotion and had started to sort it out, My head was hurting and everything was spinning. Michael and Tyreese began to help me up, I could hardly stand because everything was spinning so much, I just wanted it to stop.

We arrived at the nurse's office and they gave me an ice pack me a plaster for my elbow which was bleeding. Everything had stopped spinning now but I had a bad headache, I look to Tyreese who was sitting next to me and he smiled sympathetically.

"Zuriel sweetie we have to send you home as you might have a concussion, we have spoken to your parents, your mum is on her way and I assume she will take you to the doctor" The school's nurse smiled sweetly and I nodded.

My mum soon arrived, and then she and Tyreese helped me walk to the car. Once I was in the car my mum began to drive to the doctor, "what does the school mean about you being in a fight?" my mum then asked.
