I walked away in determination, I was ready for anything that Duke Hamilton was going to throw at me. I had just reached my locker when I received a text message from someone. I was shocked to see who it was from.

Casey: I'm sorry Rosette. Thank you for what you did for me. You're a good friend

I could feel tears of joy fill my eyes when I saw those words. I still had her as a friend. This small text message brought up my courage even more. I quickly shut my locker door and hurried to get to class.

~~~

"I'm home!" I yelled as I came through the front door. I walked into the kitchen to greet my mom.

"Hi, Rosie. Welcome home. I just started making dinner." She replies. It smelled like she was making meatloaf and I absolutely love meatloaf. My little brother Michael was on the couch playing on his iPad.

"Smells great!" I said. "I'll be back I'm gonna go change." I tried to hurry on my way upstairs but my mom stopped me.

"Wait. What happened to your pants?!" she asks in horror. 

I hesitated for a second. "I caught my pants on something sharp and it ripped," I lied hoping that she will believe me. I can't tell her that I am being bullied at school my mom would freak out. 

"Well, be more careful with your clothes they don't grow on trees you know," she said. She then continued preparing dinner.

My little brother looks up from his iPad and looks at my ripped pants taped up with duct tape and laughs. "You must have looked pretty stupid walking around like that!" he giggled

I give him an evil glare. "Be quiet vermin," I said sternly. I then walk over to whisper in his ear "Or I'll tell mom about the candy you have stashed underneath your bed."

His eyes grew wide, he just looked away and continued playing on his iPad. I walked upstairs to my room which was a total mess. It hadn't been cleaned in weeks. I changed out of my clothes and put on some Pink sweats and a T-shirt. I decided to work on some homework before dinner was ready just to get it out of the way. I started to day dream about all that happened today. I especially thought about Greyson and how nice he was to me. I smiled at the thought of him, his blue eyes, olive toned skin, masculine jawline, and his short  sandy blonde wavy hair with a few hairs that just comes over his eyes. 

I ended up thinking about him the whole night. I drifted off into sleep thinking about that moment of kindness he gave me on the balcony.

~~~

I entered school with everyone staring at me. Why don't they just take a picture it lasts longer.. I had just reached my locker when someone approached me.

"Hey Rosette." the boy says with a smile. I could tell it was a fake one.

"Hi," I said in response but turned my attention to my locker. 

"So I heard how you retaliated against the H3 and I thought that was pretty brave of you," he said. 

"Um...thanks," I said.

"I thought that I would help you. I know of this plan that will take them down. I have always hated the H3 and how they bully everyone, but, I can't do this plan alone...Would you help me?" he asked with an innocent face.

I was silent for a second thinking about his request. It wouldn't hurt if I actually had someone on my side to help me with this so called 'war' I'm in. "Sure," I finally said.

"Great!" He then grabbed my wrist. "Come with me I'll tell you our plan but, I can't tell you here. Too many ears to hear." We then started running through the school.

"Wait! Where are we going?" I asked.

"You'll see," he responded. Within a few minutes, we were outside, at the back of the school. Barely anyone came back here.

"Here we are now no one can hear us."  

"Okay but I don't see why we had to come all the way back here," I said to him. Suddenly two other guys appeared in front of us. "What's going on? Are these guys apart of the plan too?" I asked with confusion.

"You could say that," He now had a scary look in his eyes. All three of the boys slowly started walking towards me with the same look as him.

"What are you doing...Get away from me!" I said. I was now pinned against the wall. 

"Don't worry we won't bite," one of the men said as he took a hold of my arms.

"He-help!" I screamed as loud as I could. My voice was instantly stopped by a hand. 

"Shut up! Grab her legs." And just like that, I was on the ground underneath them. One holding my arms and the other holding my legs. "Somebody help me please!" I screamed. I could feel the tears coming down as I tried to scream louder. I felt a hand unbutton my jeans and my eyes open wide in horror. "No!" I screamed.

"Scream all you want nobody is going to hear you," the guy said who was holding my arms down.

"Get off of her," I heard a voice behind them say. All three of them stopped what they were doing to look at the guy who interrupted them. They all looked in horror and immediately let me go. I looked through watery eyes to see Greyson looking down at me with sympathy. 

"Gr-Greyson, why did you tell us to stop? Duke said-"

"I don't give a damn what Duke said. This is inexcusable. Leave. Now. Before you guys wish you had never been born," And just like that, they were gone in a flash.  Greyson walked toward me and stooped down to my level because I was still on the ground on my hands and knees. "Are you okay?"

I looked at him for a second and just started balling. Tears were coming out of my eyes like a waterfall. Greyson had saved me once again. He had been my savior two days in a row. Plus I have cried in front of him twice. How humiliating. Suddenly I felt something around my shoulders. Greyson had taken off his jacket he was wearing and put it on me to comfort me. 

"I'm sorry...No one should have to go through that," he said. He then walked back inside. I looked at his black leather jacket he put over me and hugged it tighter over me to somehow give me some more comfort of what had just happened. My sorrow then turned to anger as I remember what one of the men had just said about Duke telling them to do this. Curse you, Duke Hamilton. You are a despicable Human being. You're going to regret you ever met me.

~~~

"You guys did what?!" I yelled at the top of my lungs trying to control my anger. 

"Well, you told us to get rid of her," one of the guys responds.

"Yeah get rid of her not rape her you, dumbasses!" I had hoped that they would be able to finish the job so Rosette would want to quit school.

"We didn't even do anything because we were interrupted by Greyson," another guy responds. I was silent for a second.

"Grey was there?" I questioned.

"Yeah he told us to leave her alone." the same guy said.

Why did Grey go against my words? He should know that she is the schools target. Does he like her or something? There's no way. No. Impossible. I push the thought out of my mind.

"Well, you guys once again failed," I said as I punched one of them in the nose. He moaned in pain as blood started gushing out. "I guess I am going to have to think of a different plan to get her to quit school". I sat for a few minutes and I thought and thought...suddenly I finally found the answer I was looking for. Yes! This plan was definitely going to work. Tomorrow I am going to set my plan in motion. I then turned to my three minions. "Okay, guys! This is what I want you to do next..."
