Chapter 2:
I decided I would go pick up Amanda a little earlier so I left early. I drove to the school in my usual outfit. I want to see how people treat Amanda during school so I arrived while school still had one hour. Our school is weird. We have six classes but then they keep you in school for another hour for ‘free time’. Anyway, I just wanted to make sure that nobody treats Amanda badly because they all know that I am very protective of my friend. And our parents are friends so Amanda’s mom made it my job to make sure she’s alright. But, she would tell me if someone was treating her bad wouldn’t she?
Everyone knows I come at about 2:45 because school gets out at 3:00. But now that I am here at 2:00 people might act differently. I didn’t want anyone to see me so I went behind the school to park my bike. Then I walked towards the front of the school and hid in my bush. Yes, my bush. It’s the perfect spot for when I don’t want to be seen. It covers a hole in the ground so I can just sit in the hole and peek through the branches to see what’s going on.
Everyone is acting normal but I don’t see Amanda. Oh wait, there she is. She slowly starts walking in and has a scared and worried expression on her face. She stops and freezes and stares directly at something as if she were paralyzed. I look to what she’s staring at and see everyone in ‘the crew’ except for Austin and Alex and the school sluts walking towards her with smiles on their faces. Aww, does Amanda have some friends now? I thought. I looked away for a second but quickly turned to see what was happening. I see Amanda on the floor holding her cheek in pain and crying softly. I look up to see what happened and I see one of the sluts holding her hand as if she was going to slap her again.
I darted out of the bushes and made my way to the group hurting my best friend. I was as quiet but as quick as possible. By now everyone was watching me walk up to them to see what I was going to do. Austin and Alex were staring at me wide eyed, wait when did they get here? I was now a couple feet behind them. “What? Aren’t you going to fight? Oh yeah, you can’t because you need Samantha.” “I’m not afraid of you and I won’t let you treat me this way!” “You wouldn’t hurt me!” none other than the one who slapped her said. I thought this would be the perfect time to let them know that I was here.
“But I would” I said threatening. They all turned around and gasped when they saw me. “First, Austin and Alex help Amanda. I trust you. You hurt her, I hurt you. Now, onto the people who decided to gang up on my friend. How about I talk with all of you for a minute.” Everyone nodded their head except for the one who slapped her. I think her name was Nicki.
“Uh, no. That bitch deserved everything she got” she spat at me in a totally face voice.
“You’re all probably wondering why I am so calm instead of beating the crap out of you. Well, I just wanna talk to you guys to set you off with a warning but first, uh… you – slut… Nicki! Come here real quick” I said in the calmest voice I could persuade them with. I was definitely going to get physical. I have to go up against 3 boys and 3 girls including Nicki. I look to my right to see Alex hugging Amanda in a nice comforting way and Austin staring at me with pure horror.
Nicki finally came forward and I signaled her to come closer so she did.
When I thought she was close enough, I whispered in her ear, “Bitch, you better run.” She pulled away and looked confused. I didn’t give her time to say anything though. I pulled her head down and smashed in on my knee, breaking her nose. She was bent over bleeding. She fell on the floor and I watched her for a couple seconds then looked back at the group and devilishly said, “Who’s next?” they all ran away as fast as they could, but I wasn’t gonna let them go that easy.
I started chasing after everyone. I got the other 2 girls first and at the same time. It was pretty easy because they were wearing high heels. I tackled them to the floor and thought that was enough. I got up off the ground and looked around for the boys. I found Zach, Robert, and Tyler holding Austin, Alex, and Amanda. I don’t care about the boys but Amanda can’t get hurt. I walk over to them and scan over every movement they make.
“Give me Amanda” I said through gritted teeth. I was beyond pissed right now. This was going to end now and it wasn’t going to be clean.
