As I storm around the school to find Monica, Kayla grabs my arm and slows me down. "Whoa there speedy, trust me, we're all angry with what they did to you too. But we can't react this fast, wouldn't you wanna get them in a better way than just fighting, right off the bat?" Kayla smiles calming me down. "Yeah, you're right..sorry about that." I sigh and try not to get fired up again. "No problem, just try to ignore everyone." She replies and smiles. Easy for you to say. "By the way, Nathan really stood up for you back there." Adrian smirks and nudges me. I blush and laugh a bit smiling. What is it that makes guys extremely hot when they're angry. Took me everything not to make out with him right th--what am I saying??! Blushing red, I snap out of it. "Let's just head to class." When I walk into class and sit down all eyes are on me. This is going to be a long day. Oh crap! I forgot to thank Nathan!
Rolling my eyes at my stupidity, I take out my homework and notebook, soon after class begins.

"You've got to be kidding me." I stare down at the note that was just passed to me, saying how much of a slut and whore I am. Third class and the second time something like this has happened. As I turn around and see a group of girls laughing and looking at me, I smile and stand up walking over to them. I don't care if it's the middle of class, I'm not letting people walk all over me and letting them see this kind of stuff can get to me, it'll just give them more power. "You know it's pretty sad that you had to write this in a note because you couldn't say it to my face. Oh, and actually think about what you're writing, from what I've seen? I'm not the one who's a 'whore or slut' ". By now everyone was staring at me, in shock that I've said everything out loud without holding back. I smile sweetly at their pissed off expressions. "Ms. Shields! Take a seat." The teacher yells at me angrily. "Sure thing." I say and take a seat. Kayla smiles at me proudly and I laugh a bit. I couldn't help it. Usually I'll ignore stuff like that, but those girls happened to be a few of the ones who had their hands all over Nathan. I face forward and start taking notes again for the rest of class.

Making my way through the cafeteria to my usual table of friends, I hear hollers and whistles from guys left and right, saying they'd take nudes from me any time or just making comments on my body. This is really uncomfortable. Gulping, I try to quickly make it through the crowd of people. That is until two guys decide to step in front of me. "Hey sweetheart." Oh my god when they call me that it sounds so revolting, like every inch of me is vulnerable. When Nathan says it, it sounds like I'm the only girl he's said that to. Almost as if I was the only one he's ever had feelings towards. Obviously that's not true, he's gorgeous, I'm sure I'm not the only girl he's ever liked. Suddenly, I come back to reality and stare up at the two guys in front of me while staying quiet. "There's not going to be any parents at my place this weekend, how about you hang out with us. Wouldn't that be fun?" One of the boys smirk. "How about you keep your eyes off my girl. That sounds fun to me." The male says as I feel an arm slither around my waist and pulling me close to their side. Immediately, I feel safe knowing this is Nathan by me. "Calm down we were just having a little friendly conversation, isn't that right Iris?" The boy smirks down to me. I'm calling him a boy because this jerk doesn't act his age. "Next time you ask her anywhere you'll be dealing with me. So please, get out of our way." Nathan fake smiles and pushes past them, keeping me close. "You okay Iris?" He asks as we sit down at the table. "Yeah I'm good. So have you guys found out who Monica is?" I ask and look at everyone. "Monica is--right behind you." Hunter says not able to finish his sentence. I turn my body in the direction behind me and look at the dark brown brunette, covered with make up. "Aw, how sweet. Her friends are sticking by her side." She fake smiles then walks up to Hunter and Nathan who are sitting next to each other. "Since when did you start hanging out with these outcasts. Lexa misses you Hunter." She pouts and then looks to Nathan. "And you, you're too good for someone like Iris, she's a no body. Has been ever since she showed up at this school, I mean come on, wouldn't you like to have more fun with someone like me?" She bites her lip flirting. It's taking everything in me not to beat her the fuck up right now, but Kayla was right. In time, we'll be able to get them back. So I'll just keep my cool and talk back to her a little. "Look, we aren't outcasts and I'm not a no body. If you ask me you're the one who had to cake your face with make up. What's wrong? Low self-esteem? Well isn't that just sad." I frown. "Don't worry hun, soon you'll be old enough to get plastic surgery." Smiling sympathetically, I pat her hand that's on Nathan's arm. Quickly she pulls back and puts her hands on her hips. "At least I don't have to send nudes to get a guys attention." Monica shoots back. "Aww honey, you're the one who started a ridiculous lie by bribing the schools man whore." I smiled, resting my hand against my cheek and leaning in. "So actually, I didn't send anything and I feel just peachy knowing that you're just that desperate for a guys attention." After I finish speaking she just stares at me blinking. Damn this feels good. "Nothing left to say Monica? Well then you should close your mouth, don't wanna catch flies." I say and she closes her mouth giving me a dirty look. "This isn't over." She huffs and stomps away frustrated. "Damn, way to go Iris. Didn't know you had that in you." Adrian smiles. "People like her piss me off." I say and drink my water. "Well, don't worry, it won't go on for long. I've got a plan." Kayla deviously smiles. Raising an eyebrow I look at her. "Anddd what plan is that?"
