Lola stomped up to the pair and snatched Samantha away from Riley. Once she understood what was happening, since she was still obviously immersed in the kiss she had shared with Riley moments before, her eyes widened. Lola then, without any hesitation, punched her straight across the face.

She falls onto the floor clutching her jaw. Some spots were starting to form and there were droplets of blood on her fingers. Samantha tried to get up, but she was glued to the floor.

Riley stares wide-eyed at Lola. Both of their eyes connected and they stared at each other for a long time. He barely whispers, "What did you do that for?"

She sharply inhaled, "What did I do that for?" Lola raises her head so she is full-on staring into his soul. "What did I do that for?!"

A noise echoes through the dense hallways as she slaps her brother. It vibrates through the lockers and it's quiet. It was so scarily quiet she felt like a ghost might rest its hands upon her shoulders and whisper about the decision she had made.

Lola breaks it, "How dare you, Riley. How fucking dare you. You have a girlfriend and you're messing around with the bitch who has been bullying her?!"

He doesn't reply and freezes. All he does is watch as Samantha gets up and limps away. Then, he reaches for his sister. She simply slaps his hand away and turns around and begins to walk in the other direction.

"Wait."

Lola stops and turns her head slightly, gazing at the boy who she had put all her trust in.

"You won't tell Victoria, right?"

She gives him an emotionless glare.

"You don't control me."
