As I got to school I was greeted by a rushed kiss as Eli ran past to go to the drama room to write some play script. At the steps I noticed Imogen crying. I ran up to her and sat down next to her and put my arm around her and asked her “What’s wrong Imogen; you’re supposed to be with this cute girl?”

She looked at me and said “She just used me, she took photos of me when I was really drunk and us kissing and posted it on the internet and comments on everything saying ‘I met this crazy girl she kissed everything even girls she is a messed up, drugged up, drunken lesbian.’ And she won’t stop posting more pictures. So every person that walks past me shouts lesbian and laughs.” Imogen continued to cry into her hands, seeing Imogen so upset pissed me off a lot

“Who is this bully?” I growl,

Imogen looked at me with a scared face and said the name of my worst nightmare “it was…..Melissa Morgan”.

I nudged back a bit and said “You would never fancy her or do anything with her remember you promised in Year 9!”

she shakes in fear and says “I know but she was at the party so I couldn’t avoid her and she looked like she was having so much fun so I joined in with her, but I never wanted to kiss her I only did that because I was messed up.”

“Really Imogen…you never took and drugs you only got drunk!”

“Becky! I took more than just drinks I took Weed as well…”

“Imogen how can I trust you. You said you would never touch that stuff and you still mingled…oh wait KISSED my worst enemy ever since the start of high school!” Imogen then burst out into more tears and she couldn’t keep her hand still it was shaking so bad she couldn’t stand either.

I looked away and thought to myself, I turned back I stood her up and I said “I know you broke every rule in our friendship but I never want to see a crying Imogen from now on”. She smiled at me and I smiled back and we both walked into the locker hallway to start our marathon day.

As it came to lunch Eli was approaching from across the field as Imogen had her head down in sadness I signalled to Eli to turn around and I’m sorry but I’m busy for the day, and I also texted him the same thing and he got the message and texted back ‘See you at the end of the week maybe, Bye xo’.

Imogen looked up and stared at her food, she didn’t even touch it. “You must eat in this situation you need your strength to fight on” I said

She gave me a stare and said “No, my life is ruined and all you say is eat food...Becky I’m sorry but I’m broken!”

I hugged her and said “Let’s confront this mean, ugly, annoying, selfish, cruel…..”

I was then cut off by Imogen saying “Becky I get it that she is all of the above but let’s go and kick her ass!” Imogen and I got up and packed our stuff and headed over to the rebels hallway.

We see Melissa, and Imogen stops in a sudden jolt I look at her and whisper “Let’s fight this, we are going to kick her ass remember bestie.” She looks up and stomps her way to Melissa and takes her eyeliner out of Melissa’s hand and throws it on the floor. Imogen then stomps on it with all her anger and the eyeliner splatters all on the floor and the covering is shattered to tiny bits.

 Melissa is in shock but Imogen stares at her with piercing eyes. Imogen then leans into her face and says “Your kiss wasn’t even worth as much as you.”

Melissa stands up in anger and says “Well crazy lesbian, shouldn’t you be hanging around with the drunken idiots club” Imogen then edges closer to Melissa.

“Well Melissa, I can spread the real truth to the whole of the school if I wanted to, don’t you remember you sent me the photos and videos to prove it when you were drunk as well. Melissa stood back and said “Please don’t post the pictures or videos, please I have a reputation!”

Imogen smiled to her and said “I can show the whole school that you wanted to kiss me first!” and she held her phone in her face and showed her the video of Melissa touching Imogen sexually and then pashing her and saying she is sexy.

Melissa then gave in and said “fine you win I’ll tell the school it was for drama class and that the whole school is a bunch of idiots for believing the lesbian story. Imogen smiled and watched Melissa change everything on the internet on her computer.

Imogen then walked away and she smiled to me and said “Victory is ours!” As we left the rebel hallway I heard Melissa whisper to her friends “that stupid lesbian” I can’t help it; that pushed me way off the edge.

I turn and walk back up to Melissa and do something I’ve always wanted to do; my fist goes into the air and slams into her face, I hear a crack and when I pull my hand away I see blood trickling out of her nose in a rush. I turn back around and walk down the hallway with Imogen who is in shock, I hear Melissa screaming in the background and I grin with success.

“That stupid bitch deserved it” I say looking at a now grinning Imogen.
