Chapter 2

Claires POV-

The next day, I had physical education first. I love sports, but first thing on a Wednesday morning, I just couldn't be bothered! Especially athletics, running is not on my to do list in the mornings.

Me, Gemma, Jess and Rachel had sports together so we claimed the corner of the changing rooms. Jess was also from Shane and Michael's old school, but I didn't want to ask her anything about Shane in case they got the wrong idea.

When we were getting changed, I saw someone fall over. But someone pushed her, because she fell quite hard. People started gasping and shot their heads her way. Standing above the poor girl was the 'it girl' from Shane and Michael's previous school, Monica Godfrey.

'What a stupid bitch you are, you do NOT stand up to me like that again' I heard. We rushed over to where the girl had fallen, and I noticed the poor little Emily white, trembling on the floor.

'Emily, get up, you can come get changed with us' Gemma said, helping Emily up. Now everyone had made a circle around Monica and Emily.

Monica sneaked her two follower's right behind her. She looked Gemma up and down. 'And you are?'

'Gemma Kemp' she replied.

'Oh, the famous girl Michael uses' she said, rolling her eyes. She started laughing with her two followers, who started cracking up, especially the one on the right.

'Oi! You don't even know him, he doesn't use her at all Monica Godfrey. And also, I heard you got dumped by Shane Collins, my cousin's best mate. Good one, after getting dumped you still have the guts to come and talk to my best friend like that!'. I hated when people said something rude about the people I care about, and that coming from Monica was so stupid, wow.

Everyone around us was talking. Monica's face went red and she shouted 'You little bitch, who even are you?'

'Why do you need to know?' I replied back, sharp.

'Do you know who I am? Don't act all big with me, you have no idea what I can do! I can make your life hell!' Me and Gemma started to laugh because she had nothing to say against us so she started threatening us. What a low life bitch.

'I'd like you see you try' Gemma said, still laughing.

I tried to laugh extra hard to annoy her. She noticed and came close towards me.

She pushed me, hard. I fell and hit my head on the sharp wooden edge of the cupboard where people put their bags. There was blood on the top of my cheek, the side of my eye. Gemma gasped down and knelt down beside me, and pulled me up.

'CLAIRE!' she screamed. Everyone tried to see if I was okay, for once they wasn't scared of her.

Monica and her friends started laughing and walked off.

'Its not finished here' she said whilst walking off.

'You are the biggest bitch, I'm not scared of you.' I called out. Her laughter stopped but she was too far to tell. I hate when people are rude for no reason, what did we do to her in the first place?

The girl that we was sticking up for finally spoke. 'You're bleeding, are you okay?'

'yeah yeah im fine, honestly!'

'Thanks for sticking up for me, I'm Liz'

'It's okay, we're not scared of her, shes such a bitch!'

'Claire I swear to god I'm going to kill that girl, you wait here!' I had never seen Gemma this angry. Actually I had, once.. when Michael kissed some other girl at a party. But still, she was fuming.
