Chapter 4 lets go! Thanks again for reading xxxx! Be warned that this story may have mature language and themes so read with caution :)

Rene: 

No way in hell was I eating in that cafeteria. People were already staring at me, I didn't need to draw any more attention by sitting alone at lunch. 

I sighed. Sure, I was the new kid so I understood why people were looking at me and whispering but did they have to do it so much, and for so long? I looked down at my outfit and sighed again. Probably shouldn't of worn something so attention seeking. 

As I grabbed my sandwich and noticed the guy who had smirked at me during first period. A girl was sitting in his lap but it was clear he was uncomfortable. I rolled my eyes. She probably thinks they're in love when clearly whatever love she had for him wasn't reciprocated.

I paid and left the cafeteria, planning on finding a quiet place outside to eat. After wandering around a bit I did. A beautiful weeping willow tree stood in front of me. The sun shone through the leaves, painting dancing shadows on the ground. I smiled and walked through them, letting the green consume me.

After 30 minutes I decided I should go to my next class. As I walked into the building, I looked at the clock. 20 minutes until it started. 

Guess I could go to my locker.

There were quite a few people wandering around in the hallway that a bunch of lockers were. 

Damn. 

I walked past them all and opened my assigned locker, half expecting something to come out of it. Luckily nothing did. 

Without warning I felt trapped and I knew that people had surrounded me. 

So someone is trying to piss me off today. Wonderful.

I turned around, shutting my locker as I did so. I raised an eyebrow at the 3 girls standing in front of me. 

"Can I help you?" 

I recognised the girl in the centre. It was the one I saw sitting on that guy's lap. 

"You know you shouldn't come dressed as a slut to school." She sneered at me.

So she was one of those girls. I rolled my eyes.

"Right, yeah of course. I'll think of that next time I get dressed for school." 

I moved to leave but she pushed me back. I glared at her, she glared back.

"Don't mess with me, whore. You're just some new girl who is a loser and should go back to where she came from." She spat. 

No way in hell was I gonna let some stupid bitch talk to me like that. 

"Yeah I guess you're right." I smiled before I punched her in the face and left, walking down the hall. As I turned I made eye contact with the guy from tutor class earlier. He was standing against the opposite wall and once again he was smirking. His eyes laughing at what I had just done. I ignored him and continued turning.

I felt everyone's eyes on me as I walked past. Squaring my shoulders, I smirked slightly and turned down the corridor to my class. 

Wow, you just punched someone on the first day. Well done, Rene. That was a real good idea. 

I forced my thoughts to be silent and marched on to class. I didn't need anymore negativity. This day had already been a shit storm.
