The next day was Monday. As I left home my knees began to shake. I sat by myself on the bus. I didn't talk to anyone at all.
'Hey what's wrong?' Bonnie asked me in music.I told her about how I was avoiding Fran and her friends, and what happened on Sunday.
"Everyone knew Dylan would dump her."Bonnie said "Don't worry."
During our first break, Bonnie told Nick, Reede, Cat, Jen and Luc what I told her.
"Don't worry they can't do anything." Nick said. For a split second I believed her. I was with all of them for the next to periods, but at lunch Taylor cornered me in the girls room.
"I see a new bee trying to get in the way of the queen bee. Right girls?" her girls nodded. Lexi was one of them. " I don't like you. Dylan doesn't like you. Nobody likes you. Not even your sister." She punched me."Enough chit-chat. Get her," She stepped aside and two girls came forward, they were taller, bigger and scarier than me. They beat me up. Kris and Jessie, those were their names. Kris is blonde, and jessie is a red head. They left me when my nose started to bleed.Then they ran out of the bathroom.Alex stayed "Sorry Erin" She said as she helped me up. She helped me wipe of the blood on my nose and under my black eye," Here wear these," She gave me her sunshades and I put them on.
"Erin. I'm afraid you can't were shades during class." Miss Tallulah said in class. I pretended as if I didn't hear her.i kew everyone was staring at me so I put my head down. ' Erin, shades of.' Miss Tallulah said.
I didn't take them of. 'Erin! Do as you're told now!' I wanted to cry. She walked straight up to me and pulled of the shades. "Erin! Did you get into a fight?! What the hell?! Who did this to you?!!"she sent me to the sick bay and I didn't attend P.E.
My first visit wasn't very pleasant. It was from Taylor, and this time she came alone. She asked the nurse for a minute alone with me.The nurse left.
"You had better not rat me out. Or I'll make wish you never came to this school" I hate high school. I know people started being mean in middle school, but highschool was horrible.
My second visitor was Bonnie. She brought me some snacks and told me about how Dylan had dissed Taylor cause he thought she had something to do with what happened to me.Well he wasn't wrong about that.
"Morning Nancy." A familiar voice said.
"Have you had something to eat?" I heard the nurse ask.
"Yah. Is she still in there?" he asked.
"Oh. The poor girl who got beat up? Yes, she's still there."
"Can I"
"Sure." There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," I said. He waked in.He peeped in first actually.
"Hey," he said as he came in."I'm sorry about what happened to you,"
"Don't worry. You can't go through high school without a few fights right?" I tried to laugh but it hurt so hurt much that I had to stop.
"Wow you must be in pretty bad shape if laughing hurts," he said.
"Hah." I said. "What pills do you need pills for?" I asked him.
"Oh. I'm...I have a problem."
"What? I have one to. I have asthma." I hoped that would raise hie spirits a bit.
"Im anemic," there was a pause.
"You don't seem like someone with anemia," I said "Really."
"Tanks. Enough about me, how are you feeling?"
"A lot better. Thanks for asking."
"So... who did this?" he asked touching my bad arm gently.
"I don't tink you'd want to know" I said.
"I want to."
"Tay- I mean I ran into a pole" I tried to laugh again.
"Erin," he held my hand, "I'm not stupid. Taylor set her girls on you . Didn't she?"
"I...maybe." He bent and moved closer to me.
"Meet me at the park any day after school." He kissed my forehead and left the room.

Suprisingly Fran was being really nice to me after school.
"How are you feeling sis?" she asked.
"A lot better thank for asking," I said.
"It's the least I could do after how mean I was about the whole Keith thing,"she said. "Erin I'm sorry I was so hard on you. It wasn't your fault he broke up with me. I talked to him today."
"Really?" I asked her.
"We're still friends though." She was nice for the rest of the day.
That night I heard strange noises from her room. I peeped in. OMG.
Someone was fucking Fran doggy style. He was backing me so couldn't see him. He looked liked Keith cause of his hair. It was aloso like Jeremy's, but it couldn't be Jeremy. Right?
