The Good Girl Can Fight

Chapter 2

Alisha's P.O.V

The bell rung and I was out of English. I walk towards my locker. Once I get there I see Josh Campbell making out with a girl just 10 lockers away from me. I shiver in disgust. He was the player of the school. He is basically a legend. Yes he is the same age as me but no we don't talk. He doesn't even notice me. Thank God! I wouldn't want to be one of his...victims? I don't know. I get my books out for my next class after lunch and slam my locker shut. In the corner of my eye I look at Josh. He pushed the girl away and walked off. I guess he was finished with her. Time for another.

He walks in my direction and I look down on the ground, not wanting to make eye contact. However, I can feel him looking at me. I suck in a breath and look to the side. I was right he looked at me for..3 seconds and smirked. God I hate him. I'm never gonna let him get to me. My first kiss was reserved for the right person.

I rush off to Starbucks across the street. I get a pumpkin spice latte and go back to school. I don't do cafeterias. Thats where everybody talks about gossip and what not and the populars would just target me. I sit in the hallway alone. I'm fine with it. Really. I like the quietness. Then suddenly, I hear clacking. Just my luck it's Becca and her minions. Nina was there, and when she saw me her eyes widened with worry. I knew what was coming but I most definitely did not expect this.

"Hey Ughlisha!" Rebecca says in a high pitched voice. Her minions laugh, except for Nina.

"Rebecca," I say in almost a whisper.

"So all alone again? Being all innocent? Yeah I think not! I saw what you did. You just couldn't keep your eyes to yourself and you looked at Josh! And then he looked at you! Stay away from him cause he's mine!" She yells.

"First of all, I never wanted him to, look at me. Second of all I don't care if he's yours! Third of all..." But I couldn't finish. Becca just pushed me against the lockers, hard. Then her minions grabbed me.

Their were 5 of them, including Nina. 4 of them grabbed each part of my body. My arms and legs. I tried running away but their nails dug into my skin making it bleed. I hold back a whimper and just think of happy things. I looks at Becca and she looked mad. She comes closer and slaps me across the face, real hard. Then she punches me in the face almost a dozen times and then in the stomach till I fall to the ground. She kicks me at least 5 times and walks away. But not before pushing me against the lockers, again. I feel the bruises on my arms, shoulders, legs...basically everywhere. I couldn't stand up. I was to weak.

I've dealt with her before but never once has she been abusive. She usually just verbally bullied me, never physical. I lay on the ground helpless. I didn't bother trying to call for help or getting up. It was useless. But the worst part is, Nina didn't even care! She watched me get tormented. And then walked off with her new bestie. Suddenly I hear laughing and talking from guys.

Shoot I gotta get out of here! I think to myself.

I tried getting up but I ended up hitting my head against a locker and falling. Now I felt light headed but I urged myself to stay awake.

Come on Alisha be strong! Yes you haven't been hurt this badly before, but you gotta stay strong! Don't cry just breath. I told myself.

But each and every inch of my body ached. The footsteps and laughter got closer. But I could barely hear it, even if they were close. I knew I was going to black out but I had to stay strong.

"No way! She may look pretty but she was a terrible kisser!" One guy said.

I recognized the voice barely. Shoot! It was Josh and his friends! They turned the corner while one if his friends says:

"You've done better! Remember that girl..." But he trailed of. I knew they saw me. I saw blurred faces.

No Alisha! Stay awake! STAY AWAKE! I kept telling myself.

"What's the matter bro?" I hear Josh.

"Look behind you," his friend said pointing at me.

All 5 of his friends turned around. Including Josh.

"Oh My God," Josh said and ran towards me.

My vision was getting blurry almost to the point where I couldn't see. There was blood everywhere. Probably from Rebecca's, perfectly manicured, minions.

"Luca go tell the nurse to keep a bunch of medical things ready or whatever!" Josh yelled at the boy named Luca. He ran. Josh picked me up bridal style, and kept on looking at me. And then....I blacked out.
