The Start Of Problems

Chapter 2- The Start Of Problems

I started the school day like I have the past week. I finished my first classes of the day and was headed to lunch. Today was spaghetti day for lunch. I stood in line and waited and got my food. I looked around for a place to sit, I hadn't really met anyone I wanted to sit with yet. They all look at me like I'm the maggot in their perfect little school. I found an empty table and sat my tray down, just as I was getting ready to sit down with it I found myself being pulled back by someone. I looked up to see the big football player/bully of the school behind me and the other one in front "What the hell?! What do you want?" I asked "We want you out of our school" the one in front said "Well that ain't happening so it looks like you're shit outta luck" I gave him a cocky grin "As you can see here, nobody likes you here" the guy in front said pointing around the cafeteria "I bet you your parents don't even love you, I can't imagine anyone caring about you" the guy behind me said "You asshole!" I screamed and turned around and punched the one behind me right in the jaw. As he recovered he grabbed my arms and held them behind me. He was too strong and I couldn't get loose. As he held me the other one punched me in the stomach causing me to lose my breath. I let out a gasp when next thing I know I didn't feel the arms on me anymore and I crashed down on the floor next to the table. I turned to see what made him let go when I saw a guy beating the shit out of them but by the looks of it he was getting beat up too. I got back in on it and was trying to separate them when I saw the principal walk in. Crap if he calls my dad it's a guarantee I'll probably get beat to death AGAIN when I get home. "Ms. Waters! Mr. Richards! What is going on here?" He asked "Dad we were just being nice to the new girl when Drew got jealous and started beating the crap out of us. Then new girl got in on it and did this" the guy that was behind me showed a cut on his jaw that must've been from one of my rings "No that's not what!-" me and the guy they said was Drew said but Mr. Shanley cut us off "My office! Now!" He yelled. As we walked behind the principal to his office I got my first real look at the guy who saved me. I looked at him outta the corner of my eye. He was pretty hot and had that skaterboy look. He had on white and black DC's, jeans, a long sleeved shirt that said Ramones on it and a black hat. He had studs in his ears that added to his whole tough look. He noticed I was looking and he glanced up at me and gave me a sweet smile and his blue eyes twinkled, I returned the smile and we arrived at the office. "So you two decided that the cafeteria was a good place for a wrestling match?" Mr. Shanley asked "You don't understand. They started picking on me first. He was just helping me, he shouldn't be in trouble" I said pointing to Drew. "Well you'd think your sons would be a little tougher being football players but they sure got their asses kicked" Drew said while leaning back in the chair. I couldn't help but laugh and I tried to cover my face but it didn't help any. "You think that's funny? Well you two clowns can spend after school detention together and I'm calling your parents and letting them know" Mr. Shanley said and I felt my heart sink. He can't tell my dad "No please! This isn't our fault your sons started this and you can't call my Dad!" I said "You know you're supposed to treat every kid the same not just worry about your sons. You don't know half the crap they do" Drew said "Both of you shut up! There's no discussing it. I told you what's happening, now get to your classes" he yelled handing us our detention slips "Yes sir" we both said with a sigh and walked out. We were walking down the hall towards lockers "I'm really sorry you're in trouble" I said to Drew "No problem, I'm the one who got in on it. I just couldn't sit there and let them do that to you plus I had the same problem when I started here" he said "Really? Why?" I asked "Same type thing I guess, my 'style' didn't fit with their school" he said "I'm sorry" I said. The bell rang so we had to rush to the next class "I'll see you later?" Drew yelled down the hall to me "Yeah see you later" I said and we took off our separate ways.

---Drew's P.O.V.---

The bell rang saying school was over and time for detention yippee. The only thing good about this is seeing that girl again. I've got to figure out her first name. Anyway me and her basically ran into each other at the door of detention. We went in and sat down next to each other, Mrs. Chandler (one of the old lady teachers) was the one watching us. "Hey kids. Have you been in detention before? Not you Drew, I already know that answer" she said "Yes m'am" the girl said and nodded "Well then you two know the rules" she said and we nodded. Mrs. Chandler immediately dove into some book she was reading and hardly looked up at us. I reached into my book bag pocket and grabbed a little piece of paper and a pen. I wrote "What's your name?" On it and passed it to the girl. She quickly jotted down something and handed it back it said "Rachel :) I'm assuming you're Drew since that's what everyone's calling you lol". I smile came across my face, Rachel...It fits her perfectly. I wrote "Yep that'd be me :)" and passed it back. She looked over and gave me a smile. That's when I noticed she had a black eye. I just remember them hitting her in the stomach and that's when I stopped them, how'd she get a black eye?. I knew this wasn't something I was going to ask over a note so I waited until we could talk. "I'll be right back, if I hear noise in here there'll be two more detention slips issued" Mrs. Chandler said getting up and walking out. I saw Rachel giving her a confused look "She does that every evening detention. She goes to the bathroom she'll be back in about a half hour" I said with a laugh "Eww" she said cracking up and I saw her twinkling blue eyes and beautiful smile "I know right" I laughed. How could anyone ever hurt her. I figured I should wait until tomorrow to ask her about her eye when maybe she'll know me a little more and feel more comfortable. "Why haven't I seen you before?" Rachel asked "Huh?" I asked confused at first "I've been here a week and haven't seen you until today, we have science and health together. How come I've never seen you until now?" She asked "Oh, I was sick" I answered "Oh ok" she said with a nod "Yeah". I knew I had to get to know this girl and I wanted to ask her about her eye still "Hey um, you wanna hang out after school?" I asked her. Her happy smile fell "Sorry I can't" she said "Oh ok no problem, maybe tomorrow" I said and she nodded but I had a feeling she'd say no tomorrow too. Of course she talked to me but she was still really shy looking almost as if she was hiding something and didn't want people to see the real her. You could tell she's been hurt.

---Rachel's P.O.V.---

Detention was now over and we were getting our stuff to leave. Don't get me wrong I love talking to Drew but I know I can't get too close to him or he might find something out and if Dad saw him it would be all over. I'm not looking forward to tonight thanks to the principal calling Dad. Me and Drew were walking down the hall together to the front doors. We walked out the doors "See you tomorrow?" Drew asked "Yeah see you tomorrow" I said. I saw Dad looking at me with an evil face before I turned to see Drew getting in his own car obviously cuz he was in the driver seat. I got in the car and just kept my head down. He stayed completely silent again, until we got home. We pulled in the driveway and went up to the door. As I went through he shoved me from behind causing me to fall straight into the hard tile entryway. Everything flew out of the front pocket of my book bag that for some reason I had unzipped. I turned around still sitting on the floor and looked up at him. He hit me in the face "You better have this shit cleaned up fast! And you can forget dinner tonight!" He screamed and I just nodded as he walked away. Believe me I've tried to beat the crap out of him before when he hits me but it just makes it worse. I hurried and cleaned everything up before going upstairs to my room. I looked in the mirror and saw the marks from yesterday plus the bloody busted lip that just happened when I got shoved in the door. I threw my book bag down and stripped before getting into the shower. I got in and washed all the blood off my lip before washing the rest of myself. I got out and threw on some sweats and a XL tshirt. I was pretty starved due to the fact that I didn't have breakfast this morning. Then me and Drew were in the office the whole lunch time and I know with dad being in the living room I couldn't go sneak food. And I didn't have homework so I just decided to relax and go to sleep.
