The Pastel and the Punk {On Hiatus}

New Counselor

<E>
"Hahaha!" I heard someone laugh behind me. Who just shoved me?
"Ye like that, Pinky?" A boy said. Pinky again, god damnit. Im not Pinky! Wait... who is that?
I turned, leaving me sitting on the hard pavement. I looked up to see a group of boys, looking down at me and smirking.
"Heh, that's a pretty bad bruise."
"W-Where?" I said, looking at my arms.
"There!" He said as he kicked my arm.
I tried to get up, but I was immediately shoved back down. I felt my face get hot as warm tears fell down my face.

<J>

I was walking with Samantha for a while, until we heard crying and whimpering. Samantha grabbed my arm and dragged me to the source of the noise.
We turned the corner to see Elizabeth being beaten up. Knowing Samantha, she would've just walked away. This time was different.
We both soon realized that the boy beating up Elizabeth was Matthew,
Samantha's ex-boyfriend.
Matthew was in a group of emo kids, who included Matthew, Charlie, Ryan and Alex. I was horrified. I was an ex-member of this group, Samantha was the one who gave me a reason to quit.
I was grateful for that. My eyes were glued to the scene in front of me and Samantha.

<S>

I was furious.
He had the nerve to do this.
To beat up an innocent person.
Not thinking, I dashed to Elizabeth and Matthew. I kicked Matthew in his stomach, grabbed Elizabeth's arm, and pulled her to Jake.
"Take care of her, I'll handle those whores." I told Jake.
I turned to the emo group. Matthew looked at me and locked eyes.
"Heh, look fellas! The bitch came back." I wanted to kill him right then and there.
"Hey, Samantha, how about we get back together, you can stop hanging out with that gay nerd-" I punched him in the face and walked away. Jake and I took Elizabeth to school, making sure she didnt fall.

<E>

I sat down at the table with Samantha and Jake. My second day, and I'd already been bullied. At least I had friends. Well.. sort of. Samantha sighed.
"What's wrong?" Jake asked.
"Um.. I kinda beat the hell out of Mr. Lee, and I dont know if he's comin' back.. if he doesn't, I can't swear. Fuck." Samantha complained.
"Im sorry, Samantha." I replied, half sarcastically. Samantha shot me a look that told me she wanted to stab me. I can never be sure, though.
A young female walked into the room. She looked about 20 years old.
'Fuck.' I heard Samantha whisper into her hand.
"Hello. I am Ellie Jenson, your new counselor. Before I say anything else, there is someone else joining us!" The woman said happily. I saw Samantha scoff, she'd picked up the memo that this girl was trying too hard to be happy.
"The girl joining us is... Ashley Thomas!" Ellie announced. A girl with bright red hair walked into the room. She was wearing a flannel, baggy jeans, and white glasses. She sat down in between Jake and Samantha.
"I'll be back in.. around ten to twenty minutes, I have papers I need to sign and some other stuff too." She walked out, leaving us four alone.
Immediately, Samantha gave Ashley a look, the same one she shot me when I had been sarcastic. Ashley looked frightened, and shuffled closer to Jake.
"Hi. Um.. I'm Ashley." She announced.
"Top of the mornin' Ashley!" I said, trying to be comforting.
"Hi. I'm Jake. That's Elizabeth, and that's Samantha." Jake greeted.
Samantha didnt say anything, she just stared at the door. Jake and I explained what this place was. Suddenly, Ellie bursted through the door.
"I'm back, guys!"
"Clearly.." Samantha mumbled.
"So, I'm now aware what all of the issues are. Ashley, obsession of *mumble*, Elizabeth, disorder.. Jake, g- *cough* and Samantha... okay then. So, lets start."
One by one, we said what our problems were. Jake said he wasn't gay, but he was told to stay anyways.
This girl was nice! I could get used to this!

<S>

I fucking hate this lady.

There was nothing wrong with her, but she was nice. It pissed me off. I couldn't find anything bad about her.
Finally, the girl mentioned the true thing that was wrong, but I only thought two people had this problem. It turns out there were four.
