Miracle Worker

Chapter 19

"Ah! STOP! STOP!" Katie yells as she gets punched in the gut. I run to a teacher. "Can you help?" I ask. "What?" the teacher says. I look back over to see that the girls that were once beating her up were now helping her and asking if she was alright. "Never mind." I say. I run up to Katie and asked what happened.

"Well, I was walking with Morgan and Kacey, then two other girls came up and all four started kicking and punching me. I don't even know why." After Katie was finished talking, the girls walk by and say, "watch your back; cheerleader."

I called Katie that night and asked what they did, obviously not cheerleaders. She said they do archery and dance. "They think they are better than me." She said, sadness in her voice.

The next day, I saw Payton. She was with Lily. Alright, is Lily overprotective when it comes to Payton, or is it just me? Lily shot me a warning glance. I kept my distance. "Hi Sky, long time no see." Payton says. I wave and give her a hug. She hugs me back. I must have crossed the line, because Lily ran at me, and tried to put me in a choke hold from what it looked like. I veered out of the way just before she reached me. Instead of choking me, she did it to Payton.
