* One Week Later *

"You coming?" Jada asked.

It was lunchtime and they were headed to the cafeteria. But Arnell didn't feel right because the humidity was wild in the morning and her hair looking rough.

"I'm going to go to the restroom but I'll catch up with you later."

Jada nodded and proceeded to walk to the cafeteria.

Arnell walked into the restroom and stood in front of the mirror. It was the only one in that restroom. The others had been broken or taken down. She took down her hair and began splashing water in it. Just then, Mercedes and her minions walked into the restroom. They eyeballed Arnell as she continued to do her hair, but she ignored them like she hadn't even seen them come in.

"I need that mirror so you gone have to move." Mercedes demanded. Her friends smirked in the back.

"Uhh, well It's clearly in use so you gone have to wait." Arnell replied mocking Mercedes slang. She was tired of letting this bitch push her around.

"Look bitch, you got three seconds to get lost, or I'm beating yo ass."

Arnell scrunched up her face. She knew Mercedes was all talk and no bite. So she turned back to the sink and do her.

Mercedes grabbed Arnell's bag off the counter. Arnell sighed and gave Mercedes a dirty look.

"Give me my bag back." Arnell said.

"Nah, bitch. You should have left when I told yo ass to"

Arnell reached for her bag and Mercedes moved it further away. She tugged on it until it was fully in her grasp. One of the strapped flipped up and hit Mercedes in the nose causing her to let go. The bag was now back in Arnell's possession.

"You Bitch!" Mercedes yelled while holding on to her nose.

She began charging at Arnell in a rage. Mercedes threw the first swing but missed so Arnell took that advantage by swinging and landing a punch to her nose. It immediately began to gush out blood. Arnell kept throwing punches as Mercedes struggled to recover from the first blow. Mercedes got ahold of Arnell's hair and she used that to wrap her arm around Arnell's neck putting her into a head lock . Arnell grabbed Mercedes by her ponytail and yanked it until she was out of the head lock and Mercedes was on the ground. Arnell got on top of Mercedes and punched her until the fight was broken up by to administers.

"You bitch!" Mercedes called out. "Wait till I see yo ass, Ima have my brother fuck you up!"

Arnell was not phased by Mercedes at all. She continued to walk to the office. When she got there, an administrator put her in an empty room to cool down.

Five minutes later she heard Mercedes finally make her way into the office. She could hear the anger in her voice as she shouted random obscenities. But, who wouldn't be mad if they just got their ass whooped? ;)

"I swear to god! Wait until I catch up with that bitch!! Ima..... Oooooh!"

Arnell just sat in the room calm. Not caring how Mercedes felt. Arnell could only take so much before she snapped.

"Lemme call my brother!"

Of course, every time Mercedes got into some shit she called big bro to save her ass.

The door to the the room she was in opened and in walked the assistant principal and a cop. Arnell has never been in trouble before so she began to grow nervous.
