It's been one week. One whole week without talking to Noah.

I got out of the hospital after two days, and stayed at home for one. My mom has been asking what happened, and I don't know exactly what to tell her. How do I tell her that her little girl is straying onto the "dark side" of the school crowd? I hardly talk to any of my old friends now. I quit the cheerteam and the pep group. I don't feel like myself anymore. So now I sit with David and Eric at lunch.

For the first two days, I thought that maybe one of my "friends" would come sit with us. Boy, was I wrong. They avoided me like the plague now. The story that was circulating around school as to why I was in the hospital was that Noah had Kaylee attack me so that they could date, because I was trying to get Noah after a one night stand.

At first, the rumors didn't hurt me. But then I found out that Kaylee and Noah were the ones who were saying them. Kaylee, well I couldn't care less about her. But Noah, now that hurt. I only have these little memories of him talking to me in the hospital, but I can't remember everything. All I CAN remember is him telling me that he wants me to stay away from him. Then it all goes black.

It's frustrating, not knowing it all. Because every now and then, Noah looks at me, and I get this feeling. I get a feeling that tells me that something more happened in that hospital room, but I don't know what.

I slammed my fist on my locker. "Because I can't fucking remember."

"What can't you remember?" Eric came up behind me. He usually met me by my locker before lunch, then we met up with David at our table.

"Nothing." I mumbled, putting my after lunch class books in my back pack.

"Doesn't seem like nothing."

"Shut up."

"Tell me."

"Screw you." With those lovely parting words, I walked away. I knew Eric would take no offense, because that is probably the fourth time it has happened.

I walked into the lunch room, looking around a bit. My old friends still sat at their table in the very front, surrounded by the other jocks and cheerleaders.

My table was as far away from them as you could get. Unfortunately, it was two tables away from Noah.

I took a sharp turn, away from my usual table. I walked straight up to my old friends. I sat down, and they immediately quieted.

Of course, Hannah Johnson was the first to break the silence.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Oh, I had always hated her voice, but it seemed especially bitchy today.

"I'm sitting Hannah. I know you have a third grade education, but I thought you knew how to sit." This worked perfect for me, because she was leaning on some football player. I saw my brother at the end of the table, but he looked the other way when our eyes met.

Some guy, right?

"I meant, what are you here for? You are a freak now, and you made yourself this way. We don't want you around, because we don't want to get whatever S.T.D you got from that loser, Noah." She stood up, and walked over to me. The lunch room seemed to quiet a little. There were still a few conversations from the nerds, but for the most part, everyone's eyes were on us.

"I'm still a virgin Hannah, unlike you." I stood up now, crossing my arms.

Some guy in the background yelled "CATFIGHT!"

Hannah took one step closer.

"Of course I'm not a virgin. Just ask your brother." I don't know why, but when she said that, something in me snapped. It could have been that I was trying to revenge my brother for being an idiot and sleeping with her, or it could be that I just wanted to fight. I reached out and pulled her hair, hard.

She screamed, and she clawed at my arm to make me stop. I used my left hand to slap her face, and then I let go. She stood up to her full height, holding her cheek. "You bitch." She hissed.

"Takes one to know one." I hissed back. She reared at this, and launched her right fist into my gut. I doubled over, surprised. Her bony little hands were like bullets.

She slammed her hands on my back, pushing me down onto the ground.

Oh no, it was starting to get a little fuzzy again. The doctor told me to not do anything physically straining for at least three weeks.

Suddenly, Hannah stopped pushing me down. I felt two hands on my face, and looked up. It was Noah, and he looked a little bit like an angel. Clichê, right?

"Can you stand?" He whispered down to me.

I nodded, hoping I could. Well, we are about to find out, now aren't we?

He grabbed my elbow as I pushed up off the ground. I stood with his help, then looked around the crowd. I saw my bestfriends face peeking out from behind everyone. I decided to not talk to her, just in case she didn't like me now too.

I turned away from them, and started to walk away. Noah was still hanging off my arm, and I shook him off. "I've gone a week without you, don't ruin it now." Wow Maddie, that was harsh.

I calmly walked to my table, pretending that I didn't notice the major staring going on right now.

I sat down, facing away from the crowd. We were the last table you saw before you left the cafeteria, so I was facing the doors.

"Maddie, are you okay?" David put his hand on my arm. His act was brotherly, and that made me angry. I pulled my arm away. My own brother didn't care, but some dude that I met last week did.

I realized that my reaction was probably hurtful, and I felt bad. David has only been nice to me. "Sorry," I smiled, "and yeah, I'm okay."

David nodded and smiled, then pushed a sandwich towards me. "Eat, you'll feel better."

I thanked him, then took the sandwich out of the wrapper. I bit into it, and tested its flavor. It tasted good, so I finished chewing and swallowed.

Before I took another bite, an arm slipped around my waist as someone sat next to me. For a second, I thought it was Noah, but then I realized it was Matt.

"Hello gorgeous. That was a good fight, too bad Noah interrupted, right?" In the past week, Matt has sort of been taking Noah's place.

"Yeah, great." He had been watching? Why didn't he stop it? He knows I'm not allowed to do anything physical. Shouldn't he be worried for me? Why was Noah worried, but Matt wasn't?

"Don't feel bad sweetie, I'm sure that you would have won." He smiled at me, then turned to David.

"Friday night, you and me. The hottest club in town is letting me in. You could sell and supply, and I'll help. Also, they got some hot girls there." While he was saying this, I thought about him. He seemed perfect, but something was missing. Why couldn't I like him? He sort of liked me. I could tell because he would always have his arm around me, and was like a boyfriend almost.

"No, I'm not selling anymore. If I go to juvie again, my mom will kill me, and send me to live with my aunt. She lives in the middle of fucking no where. She says that she can "change me". Freaks me out to be honest." David has been to juvie before? Well, I shouldn't be surprised. He may be sweet, but I wouldn't mess with him. I think he's nice to me because he pities me.

"Aww, fine. Will you at least come?" Then Matt seemed as if he just realized Eric and I were here. "Hey, why don't you come too? It will be fun!" Matt squeezed the arm that was on me, emphasising fun. He leaned over and whispered, "We can have a lot of fun." Then he kissed my temple, and turned back to the group.

"Sure." I said. I didn't have anything to do Friday, and I always wanted to go to a club. Also, it wasn't like I could say no. Especially after Matt doing the whisper kiss thing.

"What are you planning on doing?" A voice behind me boomed.
