High School ~C.P~ (editing)

Chapter 6

"Does anyone want to speak up before we start going through the lockers?" Our gym teacher asked.

I looked around the room. Nothing but silence. Everyone looked nervous so it was hard to determine who really did it. But there was someone who stood out..Maggie she just stood their smiling it was the oddest thing.

We all sat in the gym waiting for the police to finish checking the lockers. Suddenly the police officers and our gym teacher walked back into the room. They were walking straight towards me and my heart began to race.

I couldn't breath and stood frozen as people starred.

"Please come with us" the police said. Before I could answer I heard a horrified gasp behind me.

I noticed they weren't even talking to me, they were talking to Aria.

"What?!" I screeched.

"Please officer I would never!" Aria pleaded tears swelling up in her eyes.

"Save it" he replied.

Aria looked at me for help, but their was nothing I could do! I felt myself tearing up. I new she would never do this. I felt like it was a dream, maybe if I blink enough I would wake up.

But I didn't. This was reality and my best friend was being taken away by the police for drug abuse or something.

Aria stood up and the officer guided her towards the door. She kept looking back at me and I felt the hot tears stain my cheeks.

Across the gym Maggie starred at me pouting her lips. Then it all clicked.

Her in the locker room alone during the swim meet, smiling as the police checked the lockers. It was her. She set Aria up! Honestly I new she was a bitch but I never expected anything like this.

We were all directed to go back to our classes but I had other plans. I walked straight up to Maggie in the center of the gym and smacked her across the face. The smack was loud and I'm pretty sure the whole gym gasped and starred.

I starred wide eyed at my hand, like it was my hands fault or something. "I cannot believe I just did that" I whispered to myself.

"Listen to me and listen to me good you ugly bitch." Maggie said.

She grabbed my face so I was looking at her. "Stay away from Cole or I swear to God I will do much worse than what happened today. I will ruin your life. Your entire future." She threatened.

I felt everyone's eyes on us and I truly felt like I was giving up. Without speaking I walked away humiliated. As I was walking to my next class Cole noticed me in the hallway and smiled.

I new I couldn't talk to him anymore. I avoided eye contact as he passed me and my heart broke. This was absolutely horrible.

The day slowly dragged on and Aria wasn't in any of her classes. I began to get nervous.

"Hey you have been avoiding me all day!" Cole said with his bright adorable smile as we left the school.

I felt the pain in my heart. I wanted to tell him everything and cry to him but I noticed Maggie from the corner of my eye.

I couldn't take this.

"Cole" I said shakily. I didn't want to do this I really liked him.

"Bri..is everything okay?" He replied lifting my head up so I was looking at him.

My eyes were filled with tears. I know this was so stupid to cry over but I was so overwhelmed.

Maggie threatening me, Aria getting taken away by police it, was all to much.

"Briella" Cole said impatiently.

"We can't talk anymore" I blurted as a tear rolled down my cheek.

"Briella" he repeated shaking his head.

"I'm so sorry"

I ran toward my house as fast as I could. The tears rolled down my cheeks I felt horrible.

I actually really cared about Cole and he probably thinks I'm such an asshole.

I tried to call Aria but she didn't answer. I couldn't stop crying I needed my best friend and I had no idea where she was.

When I got home I went straight to my

room without even looking at my step monster.

I laid on my bed for hours I had no idea what to do. Then my phone rang.

"Please help" Aria sobbed into the phone.

"Aria oh my god tell me everything that's happening"

"They took away my phone, my swimming privileges, my after school activities, everything. I didn't do it you no I didn't please help" she cried.

My head was pounding with confusion.

"What can I do?!"

"Write a statement at school tomorrow saying you don't believe I did it" Aria pleaded then hung up.

My head was killing me and I decided sleep would be the best idea. I had a day full of tears and I'm wiped out.

I woke up to my loud alarm clock, quickly got dressed and left the house without even anything to eat. I had to write this statement.

"Now who do you think did it, Ms. Rose?" The guidance counselor Mrs. Bryan asked.

"Maggie Fitzpatrick" I answered. No doubt in my mind.

Mrs. B nodded and wrote down the answers to my questions before dismissing me.

Arias POV

I waited impatiently in a room with plain walls. I felt like I was in an insane asylum. The room had dark colored walls two chairs and a table. I sat in one chair staring at the wall.

Somebody walked into the room.

"Hello Aria I am Officer Donald." He said sitting down.

I nodded I was to tired and upset to say anything.

"Now your claim here says you think you were framed" Officer Donald asked.

"Yes, but is this necessary" I asked impatiently.

"Aria this may not seem that serious but here specifically at the Texas County Police Station we have a program for teen drug addictions and this is part of the process, so we need you to take this seriously." The officer said sternly.

I nodded. My eyes burned from all the crying and the bright lights were not making them feel any better.

Donald flipped through some papers and I sat quietly.

"So why would anyone want to frame you?" Donald asked.

"I don't know" I simply replied.

"Any enemies at school who might want to get you in trouble" he asked still focused on the papers.

I thought for a while.

"Well their is Maggie..but she is everyone enemy" I said rubbing my eyes.

He nodded and wrote something down.

"Does anyone no your locker combination, or has anyone been in your locker?" He asked looking up.

Oh my god. I thought back to when I asked Bri to find my sweatshirt. No way ! She would never do that..would she?

"Aria you must be completely honest here" Donald said. I'm guessing he noticed I new something.

"My best friend Briella Rose..went into my locker the other day, but I don't think she-"

"That is some very helpful information thank you" Donald said leaving the room.

I put my head down on the cold table. This is going to be a long week.
