Because Of You

Chapter 3

[Next day]

Melanie's pov

I walked down the hallway, my books in my left arm as my back pack hung loosely on my shoulder as so.

"Hey stupid!" Ashlee screamed at me from across the hall making everyone stop and glare at me. I rolled my eyes, let out a sigh of annoyance and kept walking down the hallway. I heard the clink clink clink of Ashlee and her dumb friends with their heels walk towards me faster down the silent hallway.

"Did you not hear me call you? Are you deaf?" Ashlee said again. She was just a few feet behind me and I turned on my heel to face Ashlee and her shadows.

I call her friends 'shadows' because they're constantly around Ashlee as if they really were a shadow.

"What. Do. You. Want?" I gritted through my teeth.

As usual Ashlee and her shadows were dressed sluty. Ashlee had a light blue T-shirt that basically made her boobs fall out. She had dark denim jeans with her black heels showing open toe. At the space between her toes was a blue bow. Her shadows wearing black heels while one had a black long sleeve and the other a white shirt. They're blonde hair was matching making it seem as they were related.

"I just wanted to know how you're doing." Ashlee said with the fakest smile ever.

"Fine. I just came back feeding the homeless and finding homes for cats," I said sarcastically,

"Now what do you really want?"

"Oh look at her dumb hair," Ashlee said as her and her shadows surrounded me into a circle like sharks.

"And her dumb clothes." She pushed me into her friend and as I ran into her she pushed me back to Ashlee who was know in my face.

Don't loose your cool. Remember your bad temper.

"Why are you even alive?" She asked me. Her eyes only had evil. Or that's at least what I could make out of her.

"You're so pathetic." Her friend told me as she kicked my leg. I knew a bruise was forming but I ignored the pain.

"You're worthless." Ashlee told me slapping me.

I cracked.

I dropped my books and I picked her up and dropped her on the floor. People already had their phones out to video tape us.

I got on top of her and repeatedly punched her, with all my might, in the face. Then her friend grabbed my arm and punched me in the face. I kicked her in the stomach and then punched her in the side of the head. She then fell asleep.

Ashlee was holding her nose and blood was dripping. She had a black eye too. Then her friend that kicked me tackled me to then ground and as she tried to punch me face, I moved my head making her punch the tiled floor. I heard her hand crack knowing she broke it. I pushed her off me and kicked her on her side then punched her a bunch of times in the face making her fall asleep too.

Ashlee then came running at me and she started to pull my hair with one hand and punched me in the face with another. I punched her in the face with one hand and her stomach or sides with another. I then grabbed her hair and yanked it so hard she fell on the floor. I then punched her until I felt someone pull us apart.

"Frick." I muttered.

You're screwed.

"We do not tolerate this kind of behavior at this school. Ashlee," Principal Rogers said looking at her.

We were all in his office. Ashlee and I sitting on leather maroon chairs as Principal Rogers sat in his black leather chair. The shadows were standing behind Ashlee each touching her shoulder and sending me cold look of pure hatred.

"We are expelling you including Cameron and Rebecca. You will be kicked out of this district and each of you will be sent to different districts in order to make sure you will not bully anyone else. You cannot have contact inside of school. It will be up to your parents if you may have contact outside of school. You're last day will be next Friday. Until then you three will have lunch detention and 30 minutes of after school detention." He said looking at the girls. All of them had their face in their hands and their heads down as their shoulders shook in the result of crying.

"As for you, Ms. Avila. We understand this was out of bullying as we saw in the videos. But in result of fighting you will have lunch detention with these girls the whole next week."

You got off easy.

"Meanwhile you are not allowed to talk to each other for the rest of their time they are here." He said.

We all shook our heads and silently left his office as the shadows shot me glares as I rolled my eyes and ignored them. We then went our separate ways in the hallway. I went to my locker and America was the first one to greet me.

"How did it go?" She asked worriedly as I opened my locker and put my books inside and grabbed my calculus textbook along with my note books.

"They got expelled. Their last day is next Friday so all of us have lunch detention all next week. Oh, and they're all moving to different districts." I explained as I closed my locker.

I grieved of going to next period. I sit next to Rebecca in cac and I'm sure she will make it hell. The bell dismissed us to our last period.

"Bye." America said as she hugged me and then hurried down the hall to get to her music class. I then dreadfully walked to my class that was across my locker. I sighed as I sat down. Rebecca was already there. Her face was bruised and she walked with a limp from kicking her in the side multiple times. I hid my smirk by licking my lips and looking down. I didn't want to laugh at her either. She sat down glared at me then the lesson started.

"So I heard you kicked some butt." Lamar said as we meet under the tree after school. Many people high fived me and clapped since no one likes them. I laughed as Lamar laughed, too.

We then walked home and I really didn't want to go home since I knew what was in store for me. And I didn't want to face it.

My parents.
