Chapter 2
Mickie’s P.O.V.
Our first class was English. I walked into the classroom behind Zack. I immediately got glared at by a cheerleader type girl with short, curly, brown hair that had run up to Zack.
“Who’s the freak?” the girl said, not even trying to be quiet about it.
“Mickie Graison,” he said, and then she nodded and walked away. One of the three guys standing there with him asked a question that I couldn’t hear. “Back off…mine!” was the response I heard from Zack. I pushed through them and walked up to the teacher’s desk.
“You must be Michelle.”
“Mickie. Where can I sit?”
“There’s an open seat by Emmilyn,” he said, pointing to a kind looking redhead. I sat down and flung my stuff on the floor.
“Are you Emmilyn?” I asked her.
“Yeah. Who are you? I don’t mean to sound rude or anything, I’m just to the point,” she explained.
“No that’s cool. That’s how I am too. I’m Mickie Graison.”
“You’re Matt’s little sis aren’t you?”
“Yeah, how do you know Matt?”
“I’m his mate.” I nodded in understanding and then class started. I sat bored through the whole class as I had already learned this. Class finished and I grabbed my bag off the floor. When I looked up, Zack and his friends were surrounding my desk.
“Creepy much?” I said as I stood up. I ignored them and turned to Emmilyn. “What’s your next class?”
“Math, you?”
“Same, walk with you?”
“Sure.” We started walking to the door but Zack’s friends blocked our way.
“Emmilyn, I’ll walk her and we’ll see you in class.” She looked angry but agreed and stalked off fuming.
“What? I thought you couldn’t work with me?”
“I’d rather not get expelled because of you.”
“Whatever, where’s math?”
“Follow me. These are my friends Tanner, Lance, and Derek.” Tanner had short black hair and green eyes. Lance and Derek had short-ish brown hair and blue eyes. All four of them were built like houses. We rounded a corner and I saw Matt talking to Emmilyn. He looked up and his eyes darkened. I cursed in my head as he walked up to Zack.
“What are you doing with my sister?” he demanded.
“Showing her around.”
“Well I suggest you stop.”
“Not likely, I’m not getting expelled because of her.”
“Fine but do anything to her and you’re dead.” Zack nodded and mouthed something that I couldn’t see. What I could see was that it made Matt even angrier. Zack laughed after Emmi forced Matt to leave the hallway.
