chapter 3

What happened to your face I ask Emily. She says "my dad hit me for talking back to him."

"what? We should go tell somebody. " "no, then he just gets worse."

*************************

That day, some of the popular kids come up to me and ask me if I want to eat lunch with them. I say yes. That day at lunch, I go and sit with them at the benchs. "so you ride?" One of the girls asks me. I think her name is Molly, but I can't remember. Right then, Amanda, the school queen bee walks up. "what is she doing here?" "she rides, just like you, your short one on your team, and her brother is Patrick." "who is he?" "the hot one you keep talking to after school." "hi, im Isabell."

3 months later.

"hey Izzy!" I hear Amanda and Rachel call. I turn to go and meet them. "Ready for the competition?" "Ya totally." That weekend, we have a jumping competition. "Hey Isabell." Blake says as he approaches. Black is Emilys brother, the one that I used to hang out with. "Hey" I call back as I head towards honors chem which is my first hour. "See ya at lunch." He is one of the cute hot boys and I have a crush on him. As I walk in to chem, Alex waves at me. He is one of the smart geeky boys, yet he has somehow managed to capture my heart.

*************************

After lunch, I have free period/study hall and walk in to the library to do my APUSH. I grab one of the open computers before they are all taken. Victoria and her best friend Alice come in and sit down at the two other computers. "Did you hear what happened to Emily?" Victoria asks Alice. "No, what happened?" "She slept with Eric!" "Omg, your boyfriend?" "Ya, Im gonna get her!" Eric is really the opposite of Victoria. Shy, quiet, but smart as can be. He and Victoria has been dating for 6 months. Crap, Emily slept with him????? Whats up with her?

*************************

The next day, nobody, and I mean nobody, would talk to Emily. Everyone knew that Victoria hated her. That day at lunch, I was in my usual spot, with Blake sitting next to me. Victoria walked up to Emily and told her to stay away from Eric. Emily called her a slut. Thats when Alice, Delilah, and Greta came up and surrounded her. You can only imagine what happened after that, a big fight started. Emily was getting creamed, so I asked Blake "why don't you go help her?" "Nope, it's a girls fight." An unfair one. By that point in time, I was the queen bee of the school. I walk up to them and they all stopped what they were doing. My girls Amanda and Rachel follow me. ,"What are you doing to her?" "um, beating her up, what does it look like?" "Well you should stop." They all leave quickly. "Emily are you ok?" "Ya, thanks for helping me out." Later that day, Amanda asks why I defended her. I have to tell her the whole story, starting from lunch of the day of the accident.
