As Ariel and Brandon walked to class, Ariel couldn't stop smiling, and clearly she wasn't good at hiding it either. "Whats up with the smile?" Brandon asked her, glaring at her with those emerald green eyes that Ariel loves so dearly. Ariel was just about to answer when she stopped dead in her tracks, and the smile quickly faded. "What is it?" Brandon asked her with a curious look. He looked to where she was gazing and saw the horror. "Who did this? Why did they do this?" Brandon said, raging with anger. Ariel slowly walked to her locker to see get a closer look. Her locker was busted open and all of her books and things were scattered around it. The words "SLUT" and "BITCH" were written on the front in a permanent, red marker. Ariel felt the sting of tears in her eyes, and she couldn't hold it back. She started to cry. The words stung her entire body as she kept reading them over and over again. She didn't know what she had done wrong. While she was having a meltdown, Brandon was sweeping the hallways, yelling at people. "What is wrong with you people? Why would they say that? Who the hell did this?" He turns back to Ariel. "I swear to God when I find out who did this i'm gonn-" Ariel quickly interrupts him and says "This isn't your problem, Brandon. You have nothing to do to with this. I just want you to stay away from me for now until I can figure out what to do." Ariel walks away from the scene as Brandon stares at her, stunned.
