Paige walked through the halls feeling content with the plan she has finally unleashed. She was so eager to start it that she was surprised that she was able to wait those three weeks She sat in her 4th period class as far away from "Arielle's seat" as possible. She knew that she had to stay away from her just until things simmered down, but Paige couldn't wait to unleash her beast out on her. In these short number of weeks, Arielle has already became the it girl, even Janelle noticed. Paige definitely felt like she was quickly being overthrown by some girl. That girl hasn't seen the last of Paige Bryant! Paige thought to herself, burning holes in Arielle's head.

"Excuse me class, but I need to go print more copies of your rubric. I'm hoping you young adults can take care of yourselves while I'm gone."

As soon as Ms. Wesley left the room, a mass of the students ran towards Arielle's desk.

"I heard that you were familiar with the red light district,."

"No, I heard that you had a baby back at home?"

"Is it true that you slept with Mr. Bryans for good grades?"

The students around her asked, buzzing like bees, with their swarms of questions.

"Are you guys, idiots?!?!" Arielle said with a growl, standing in her seat.

The crowd hushed at the snap of Arielle's voice. Paige felt a rapid case of nostalgia, remembering when others silenced at her voice also, but now they just brush her off like she hadn't said a word to them. Paige looked back at the rant that Arielle continued.

"Why is everyone asking me such silly questions, today?! What is up with this school and its rumors! None of them are true, Of course!" Arielle continued in a heated rant. "There are just soo many jealous kids out there." she said turning to face Paige. "Why do I have so many haters, out there?" she continued as walking to Paige's desk and bore into her eyes. "Why do I, Paige?"

"I hope that you're not implying that I'm hating on you." Paige replied, standing up to Paige.

"Why do you have to be so jealous of me? Starting foolish rumors about me, so people can think bad of me? What did I ever do to you?"

"You're a- a COW!" Paige yelled in a fit of anger.

"Seriously, a cow. I thought a girl like you would have a greater vocabulary. You've... been around haven't you?" Arielle replied with an innocent look on her face.

Paige was about to pounce on Arielle, ready to claw out Arielle's face, until she suddenly felt a pair of strong arms stop her.

"She's not worth the risk." the calm voice said to her, as she tried to get out of the grip.

"Let me go!!" She yelled at the mysterious guy behind her.

"You fight her, you get suspended, she gets away scott free, she wins."

Paige stopped fidgeting as she realised the voice was right, Arielle would win and she didn't want that to happen.

The arms let go of her as she quickly turned around to look at the boy.

"Don't ever touch me again." She said as she came face to face with Toby McGuire.

"If that's what you want." he said, his hands raised up in defense.

"What is going on here!" Ms. Wesley said, making everyone jump.

Paige looked around at the room as she realized that her and Toby were the only students standing. She was shocked, wondering how the rest of the students got to their seats so quickly.
