My feet skid on the ground as I try to come to a stop. The force of the blow on my face started to settle as I slid across the ground, crashing into one of the desks and falling back hard, hitting my head on another desk. Half the kids had there phones out in a second, hoping to catch an amazing fight. Well, I was about to give them what they wanted. The girl, the person who was supposed to be my best friend, but had turned against me for the oh, so popular Sahara Jake's, smirked as I struggled to my feet. Mari got a fake-frightened look on her face and giggled as I slowly neared her. I stopped right in front of her.

She giggled some more. " Aaawww! What are your going to do? Cry for your mommy?" She asked, her voice laced with knowing. She know's my mom died two months ago. And she's using it against me. Anger churned inside me, a raging fire that I wasn't even going to try to control anymore. " When I'm done, you won't be able to talk for a week." I say, my voice steady and cold. Fear races in her eye's for a second, then it's gone. " Oh? And how do you plan to accomplish that?" She asks, and I can't help notice how short her skirt is, or how she wiggles her hips lightly at the end of each sentence. My best friend has turned into a slut.

" I'm going to bust your lip so hard, you'll be gulping down bucketfuls of blood. Your throat will be so raw, you won't be able to speak for a week, a month." Everyone is probably surprised because I don't talk all that much. In fact, I think I've barely said about two words in each of my classes since the beginning of the year, which started about six months ago. Yeah, we have long school years. I took another step forward and, true to my word, I punched her in the face, hitting her lower lip. She stumbled back a few feet, then fell back, crashing the back of her head against the edge of a table. She looked up at me, tears brimming her eye's, making me feel so sad. . .Ha! I couldn't care less.

Just my luck, at that moment the teacher walked in. She stopped for a moment, taking in the scene, and her face clouded with anger. " Mari Branch and Blake Frost! Principles office now!" She nearly shouted, and I jumped a bit. Mrs. Boru hardly ever gets angry, so this was a rare occurrence. Mari nodded and we left the classroom, staying as far away from each other as possible. I started speed walking and made it to the principles office first. Mrs. Malice looked up at me and shook her head. "Your teacher just phoned in and told me what happened. Principle Sophism will see you in a moment." She said, showing no sympathy. She probably hates us now. . .I couldn't care less.

I sit down at one of the chairs next to the Principle Sophism's door and played around with my phone a bit. Suddenly my phone buzzed in my hand, signaling a text. Mari. M: Thnx a lot Frost! This is all ur fault! It read, and I peeked into the health room where Mari had been settled. I sighed before answering back. B: Leave me alone. I typed, then pressed send. I could feel another crack appear in my heart. Too late. It had already shattered, already been broken a long time ago. Way to go Blake! Your a disgrace! See, this is what happens when you trust someone. when you open your heart enough to let them in. They crush you and destroy you! How could you turn against yourself like that?! You can't trust anyone! No one! I scold myself.

Suddenly someone clears their throat and I look up into the angry eyes of Principle S. The same angry look my dad gets before whipping me with his belt. I flinch and stand up quickly. He motions me and Mari into his office, walking stiffly inside. I gingerly sit at the edge of one of the seats, Mari sits as far away from me as possible, and Principle S sits in his chair, smirking at me. What was he planning? I started shaking, and I couldn't stop, no matter how much I tried. I bit my lip, drawing blood. Mr. S noticed and smirked some more.

" Well, miss Frost, you have officially broken the record for most fights in school. Mari, your parents will be called and your receiving a months detention, and Frost will be suspended. Mari, please leave my office and wait for your parents. I have something I'd like Frost to do." Mr. S said, and their seem to be some kind of spark in his eyes. Mari nodded and rushed out of the room, terrified. Suddenly my stomach started to hurt like it always does when I know something bad is about to happen. I was right.
