The next day,

Alexia

Sophie slammed her locker door shut.

David creasing his brow, gave her a weird look. "You okay?"

"Kill me now."She let out an exasperated sigh.

"If you stop wearing heels, it would probably make you feel better." I pointed at her heels. Sophie believes the fact that a girl can do anything in high heels. I mean sure that is true except for the fact if there was an apocalypse- a zombie apocalypse rather, walking around with high heels and a 9mm pistol would look pretty badass but it is just impossible. Then again, I have seen her running at impossible speeds while getting the last piece of pizza left in the cafeteria(which is scheduled only on Fridays) so I don't know.

She rolled her eyes at me and David shook his head. Again, being the dramatic couple.

"Where do you think you're going?"

I turned towards the direction of the sound and saw Nicholas striding towards Jared.

Nicholas Mackenzie, the most talented boy in our school. Aside from being the popular jock and a complete a**hole, he is hella smart and great at studies. He does not have exactly a good reputation because he is rude and hurtful most of the time, which makes many girls attracted to him.

I mean like-please.

And Jared is the well-known president of the robotics club in our school. Also, his physique is not that helpful when it comes to sports and physical activities in general. But he was respected by almost a teacher in our school and was quite humble so seeing him getting to someone's bad side was unheard of.

Nicholas with the completely pissed off expression came at Jared's locker and his friends surrounded him.

He caught hold of Jared's collar and gave him a dark look, "You better f*cking say it or should I make you?" Jared vigorously shook his head, "I am not telling you anything."

"Well, then." He punched him in the eye.

Now at times like this, I usually don't defend the victim from the bully but I would rather complain about it to the teachers and ask them to keep it anonymous. But this was Nicholas we are talking about. He might beat the life out of him.

Don't get in trouble. 

"We have to help him," David blurted.

"We can't, you know Nick's dad-"

"-Is the principal," Sophie muttered.

"So we watch him getting hurt?" He grunted.

"Your hand is injured anyways," Sophie said and caught hold of David's right hand and dragged him away. I looked back as Nicholas threw in another punch. I looked at my watch flashing 11:32 am; I gulped-a sickening feeling in my chest. I will tell the teacher, later on, keeping this thought in mind, I followed my friends, a crowd already forming.

As I walked along for the past 10 minutes, David complaining while Sophie pacified him, I noticed a guy running across the hall. David called out to him as the guy stopped abruptly-taking short breaths:

"Nicholas beat the shit out of Jared so much, he accidentally hit him on the back of his head."

"Holy shit," I whispered.
