Danger Love Ahead

Chapter Four: Torments for The New Girl

(April's version)

It was Tuesday morning the next day. Mom, unfortunately for me is our new drama teacher since Mr.Haleway had took the job as football coach. Speaking of football, my mind went back to yesterday afternoon when I had seen Brandon and Dave watching my audition for the cheer leading squad. I was slightly stumped he didn't recognize me and was hoping I could jog his memory. Unfortunately we didn't have a chance to talk since he had to go for his training which I had thought was canceled. I had made the cheer leading squad thankfully and had made new friends like Amanda an Asian brunette. She was quiet and as far as I've seen, spoke to make a sarcastic remark and Mariah who seemed always giddy but also very tough. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I let out a surprised scream when I tripped over a students foot. I fell face forward and all my books were scattered everywhere. The group of girls around me burst out into a fit of laughter.

"Oops..sorry,"a tall, skinny blond girl with light blue eyes who I guessed to be their ring leader stepped forward. "but I guess I shouldn't be apologizing, it was you who tripped over my foot." I glanced at the girl, she seemed really familiar. My stomach dropped when I made out Kira's face. The girl who tripped me yesterday. I shot her a dirty look before collecting my books. I reached for the last book but she placed her left foot on it firmly."I heard your mummy is our new drama teacher."

"What's it to you?"I asked angrily tugging the book which wouldn't budge beneath her foot. No one said public schools were anything like this. The school hallway was full and those who actually noticed what was happening to me just laughed or went on their merry way as if this incident happens everyday. It probably does, I thought. Only to people like me. "Fake barbie wannabes,"I muttered.

"Let me here you say that again!!!" Kira said in an outraged tone and I let out a scream when she stamped the high heel of her shoe down on my fingers.She twisted it and smiled satisfactorily as she heard the slight crackling of my fingers. I bit my lower lip so hard that it began to bleed. The heat of the pain shot right through me like electricity as I struggled not to scream. The bell suddenly rang and Kira took her foot off angrily and made her way to her class with her friends. I didn't dare cry or scream at the pain, I knew my fingers were broken and my hand was red/purple. The tears began to sting my eyes as I sucked in a breath holding my wrists.

"Are you alright?" I jumped at Brandon's voice. Just great, the last person I wanted to see me like this.
