it was the next day, i was in last period and there was 15 minutes left until school is over. it was tuesday so i have hip hop at six. that was what was keeping me going today.

as soon as the bell rang and i bursted our of the classroom and bumped right into..

take a guess.

emily.

"get out of my way bitch." i rolled my eyes at her as she stepped directly on my foot and i screeched in pain.

"ow!" all of a sudden about a fifth of the school gathered around us, i saw chase looking at me shaking his like, 'be careful, don't do anything stupid.' right then i felt it coming i had to. i punched emily glazer right in the nose. blood began gushing out of her nose so fast as she fell to the floor and everyone tried to help her and starting yelling at me. my mind was going blank, i didn't know what to do.

in that moment, i knew i messed up, but it also felt kind of good. i looked at chase as lauren showed up next to him we made eye contact and they just walked off. i tried to run after them, but it was almost like my feet weren't letting me move. i looked down at emily, who was holding her nose, blood all over her hand, face, and her white shirt had drips of blood all over it.

i looked out the window and the buses had left, i either call my mom to pick me up or walk home. i chose to walk home so i started walking towards the door when someone pulled me back, it was brandon, one of emilys friends. "what was that for? why are you such a bitch to her?" he asked me as he turned my body to face him. i just shrugged. "you know she's going through a lot and you seriously hurt her every day."

i shrugged it off not knowing what to say and looking at emily who was still on the floor, toms of people hovering over her, as me maynard walked out of the office, i froze. i had to get out of here. "kelsea." she glared at me.

"this wasn't me i swear!" i held my arms up in defense.

he glared at me again, meaning for me to be honest.

"it was all her, she punched emily in the nose and then walked off like the bully she is." brandon blabbed to him, as i glared at him, he just winked at me and turned around and walked back to emily.

"why?" was all mr maynard said.

"i don't know. i- she was rude so i panicked." i said breathing heavily.

"come in my office."

i then followed him into his office taking a seat in my usual spot as he close the door. "i am sick of this. you say you're gonna be better but you still don't fix it! emily is crying out there i saw, brandon is a great student i believe him, especially after what you've done, i'm calling her mother and we are having a chat with her, you will not leave until we settle this."

i slumped down in my chair, biting my thumb nail nervously, i watched as he dialed the number on the phone sitting on his desk, he put it on speaker and my moms voice came through the phone, "hello."

"hello, mrs. besson."

"hello, how are you?" my mom said with a sweet voice.

"i'm good, i have your daughter here with me in the office right now, she would like to tell you something." he looked at me to tell her.

"what do i say?" i mumbled.

"tell her what happend today."

"you can." i pulled my right leg on the chair leaving my left leg hitting the floor, as i held onto my leg.

"your daughter got into a fight, with emily glazer, i got the nurse to go get her and take her to the office as well but i have your daughter with me. her nose was gushing blood and there is nothing wrong with your daughter. i have many witnesses of this and i think we need to settle this and help out kelsea, because this school isn't working for her. she's causing many problems and i can't put up with students like this i have given her many many chances." as he said those words i started crying but not loudly more of a soft quiet cry, he didn't notice there were only a few tears falling down my cheeks which i wiped away quickly.

"i can assure you my daughter means no harm,  she has her issues." my mother spoke, her voice cracking at the end.

"i think we need to expell her for the year or until further notice. i am going to have you pick her up and we can go from there, sound good?"

i didn't say a word or make another sound as mr. maynard hung up the phone and walked out of the office, probably checking on emily. i got up quickly locking the door as i sat in his chair and got on his computer, it was left on. so i quickly just scrolled through it not knowing what the hell i was doing. when i came across, brandon westenburg on there, i clicked on his name and read through everything. when i found my name there was so much written, i just left my page and back to brandon's. i thought to my self, why not change something. so i went to his gradebook and changed every grade to a D-. i didn't feel bad at all. as i quickly for off that tab and rushed back into my seat after unlocking the door, my heart was beating as the principal came back in, sitting down without a word.

"your moms on her way now. emily's nose may be broken her mom is coming as well to pick her up, you can talk to her mom as well." he said i just shrugged.

"i'm sorry." I mumbled under my breath.

"don't just tell me that, tell everyone in this school."

that hit me. chase and lauren probably hate me as well and deserve an apology i ignored them all summer, the texts, calls, everything. when they saw me today in that moment with emily hurt the most when they just left. i didn't deserve them, they were amazing friends.

as soon as my mom got there the door opened and mr. maynard stood up to greet her, "let's walk and talk." i stood up as well as we walked into the main office, i saw emily holding her nose with a towel, standing next to her mom.

emily's mom gave me a major death glare because her daughter probably was off to the hospital now and no one wants to go there. i just shrugged it off.

mr. maynard spoke up, "so kelsea you will be under an expell, and emily i'll give you two days off to rest up and heal. i want you to make sure you're all right." she nodded and grinned at me which i just rolled my eyes. "i'll give you a call later mrs. besson." emily and her mom stayed back as my mom thanked him and we walked out to the car. i sat in the passenger seat keeping my backpack on and hiding my phone so mom wouldn't see it to think about taking it from me.

"what's wrong with you kels? why would you think that's okay to do that? did you look at her? it was bad." mom shook her head.

"i- i don't know."

"i have made up my mind. you are going to stay with your brother in california, doing online school and bettering yourself and if you can't do that, you will come back here to virginia and go to a rehab center. got it? have you been taking your pills?" mom spoke quickly.

i sunk into my seat looking forward as mom drove off.

"understood?"

"understood."
