Chapter 9 Ending Her Reign of Terror

Chapter 9 Ending Her Reign of Terror

At lunch, I told Erica to meet me at the parking lot. I also told Aaron that we were going to take his car so that people wouldn't know what I had up my sleeve. I'm going to give Trance a big makeover today and no one is to know about this until tomorrow.

I saw Selena's little minions walking up to Trance. I started walking over to see what was going on. As I got closer, I heard, "So now you're bringing an extra pair of clothes?" Or are you developing a habit of stealing?" One of the boys was about to hit Trance square in the face, but I tapped him in the shoulder just in time to stop him. The boy got annoyed. "Who the fuck..." he trailed off. He slowly put his hand down and loosened his grip on Trance.

"Three feet," I ordered. Immediately, they stepped back and gave me a clear view of Trance, back against the wall. I slammed my books on the table and dropped my bag on top of the stack of books. Everyone flinched, standing there is a neat line like little kids who just got in trouble.

"Trance, are you okay?" I asked him as I got near. He still looked a little taken aback from what just happened, probably trying to register everything.

"Yeah, I'm fine, thank you." I gave him a hand and asked him to follow me.

"Get Selena over here. Immediately," I said as calmly as possible, trying to keep my voice leveled.

The guy who was planning on hitting Trance left to get Selena. By now, I've gotten most of the attention in the school cafeteria. Selena walked over to me, accompanied by Erica, who was curious at what was going on. Sam had already came to my side.

"I'm sure that bullying people is really fun, am I right?" I lectured. All of them looked down at their feet. "Take a seat." They quickly followed directions.

Selena was behind me. "Selena, is it fun?" I asked, waiting for her reply, but she never gave me one so I continued. "I thought that you're habits have changed, but I guess not. How much, exactly, do you enjoy bullying people? You have a history for it, don't you? And you were hoping that I would become your best friend and stand by your side?" I stated unbelievably.

People have started whispering as soon as I had mentioned 'history' because most of the people here don't know what I was talking about. I wasn't planning on embarrassing Selena in front of the entire school, but if she keeps it up, whatever she's doing, then I can't make any promises that I won't embarrass her in front of the school.

I turned back to the kids sitting down at the table. "Are you guys going to keep this up? Or are you going to stop from now on?" I asked. They didn't reply."Does it make you look tougher? Do you feel tougher now?"

"No," they said in sync.

"What are you going to do with her?" Sam asked, motioning to Selena.

"I could care less. If she doesn't know what's good for her, then I can't help her," I answered. Turning back to the rest of the kids, "I don't want to see this happening again, do you understand?" I said strictly.

"Yes."

"Apologize to Trance." Everyone of the them apologized to Trance and swore that it won't happen again. Sam and I turned to leave the cafeteria with our friends following us after I grabbed my stuff and the lunch boxes that I've prepared. We decided to head for the football field and have lunch there. I had been working in the kitchen two periods before lunch began, which is why I have food with me.

The staffs had tried the food that I prepared and they had approved. Now, I'm letting my friends give me an opinion.

"I'm sorry that I didn't let you guys gets lunch before you came here." We had all settled down on the grass and many of them were lying down. "I guess you guys can eat these instead," I said as I handed them each a lunch box. Each of them gratefully took a box from me and started eating. Their facial expressions were amusing as they took a bite into their food. Sam and I just looked at each other and smiled, knowing that they enjoyed the food. Trance stopped eating after he took a few bites and just stared at me as if I grew another head.
