"Hey I saw you at the hangout yesterday and I just wanted to talk to you."

"How did you know how to find me?" I step back a little uneasy.

"Well I saw you and Theo at his favorite diner yesterday and I followed you when you left."

"Um..."

"Please don't think I'm creepy I'm just desperate." She lets out a soft laugh and walks closer

"I don't think I should be talking to you."

"Why did Theo tell you not to talk to me?"

"No but he told me what you did."

Her smile drops and she puts on a sad face. "You must think I'm a horrible person."

"Well I mean aren't you? You cheated on him with his dad that's messed up."

"You can't really judge me because you don't know me."

"You're right I don't know you but Theo isn't the type to close somebody out for minor things."

"Whatever I just wanted to know if you had his number."

"No and if I did I wouldn't give it to you."

She opens her mouth as if she's offended. "Okay broke bitch I'm not somebody to mess with I can seriously fuck your life up."

"How? By having sex with my dad? Don't worry that wouldn't bother me considering I never see him." I turn around and continue walking to school ignoring her rude comments she's screaming at my back.

I get to school and see Sarah leaning against the rail along the steps waiting on me. "Hey Sam."

"Hey Sarah you won't believe what happened yesterday after you dropped me off and this morning."

"Wow sounds like a lot bathroom?"

"Yea and I need your number so I have someone to talk to."

"Oh yea give me your phone."

I hand her my phone and she types her number in then sends herself a message.

"There now you have my number and I have yours."

"Okay what should I save it as?"

"Doesn't matter to me."

"Thanks that was so much help."

"I know I'm such a great help." She smiles and nudges me with her shoulder. We walk into the bathroom and there they are the barbies holding down the fort. The girl Sarah punched in the face has a nose brace on and a swollen lip. "Ladies so good to see you and I see you did something new to your face but I can't tell. Oh I know new foundation."

She looks at Sarah and stomps her foot. "If you think this is funny you just wait I'm going to sue you!"

"And what are you going to take? My mom's broken down car I mean you can sell it for a good 20 dollars."

"What is your problem?! You always act like you can do whatever you want but you can't I'm going to stop you some how you just wait Sarah I'll show you!" She snatches her backpack off the floor and her friend follows her quietly out the door.

Sarah lets out a dooming laugh and looks at me, "I'll show you Sarah." She mocks and sticks out her tongue "Talk about a drama queen I broke more bones in my toe than she has in her whole body." She lights her blunt and goes towards the window. "Anyway what happened yesterday?"

"Oh right! I found Theo and he told me mostly everything that happened but I feel like he's leaving something out."

"What did he tell you?"
