Arianna's POV- Chapter 12; IDFC

(The outfit at the top is what Arianna is wearing to school)

When Colton and I arrive at school I instantly regret walking into school from the front entrance. Jake is standing by our lockers next to the girl from the date. She is dressed in another slutty provocative dress. Eyes go to me as I walk through the hall to my locker. Finally Jake looks at me as I open my locker and grab my books for the first class. 

"If it isn't little miss daddy issues." Candice mumbles to her friends and I turn to glare at her.

"If you got something to say, say it to my face. But make sure your information is current. Last time I checked I was with my dad after you spent the night with your ex boyfriend." I say crossing my arms over my chest as I watch Jake's face develop an unreadable expression.

"Well I have something current your brother is a fa---." She says and before I can stop myself my hand shoots out and I have her pinned to the lockers. 

She struggles against my hold as I hold her wrists harshly against the metal lockers.

"You say one more dirty thing about my family and you will be tasting medal and eating jello in the hospital got it?" I say to her as I tighten my grip around her arms. 

Jake's arms encircle my waist as he tries to pull me away from her but I shoot one fist out and punch him in the jaw. 

"Your brother is a sinful creature and you know it. It's unnatural and disgusting." Candice says.

My fist slams into the lockers beside her head and it slams again and again as I here the bones in my hand cracking. I punch her once in the stomach before letting her drop.

Suddenly the halls fill with people. Colton, Cleo, and Trey stand there watching the exchange. Then teachers begin to show up and soon there is another guy wrapping his hand around my wrists and I look up to see, Silas Reed. Another football player and a guy I have also had a crush on in the past and shared good memories with.

"Aria stop..." He says and I slump against him tired from the use of energy. I still have sore muscles from 8 hours of practicing yesterday and bruising on my feet and hands.

"Alright you 4 in my office now." The principal says and I stand up and walk with my head held high into his office, I smile to Cleo, Colton, and Trey even though I feel like retreating into a small corner and crying.

"Arianna you are suspended until next week. But since you are cheer captain and you haven't had any past problems, you are allowed to perform in the game and to come to practice if you are physically capable." The principal says and I nod.

"Candice we don't tolerate bullying of any sort so you have detention for the rest of the week. And the two boys have detention for  2 days after football practice."

"Now get the fuck out of my office you little bastards." He says and we all exit the office.

"Do you need to go to the nurse or hospital?" Silas asks me and Jake turns his head slightly.

"Yeah I probably fractured something punching the lockers. Wouldn't be the first time." I say with a shrug.

"Wouldn't be the first time you had anger issues you mean?" Candice says and I turn to her with a glare.

"No. That's every day. I meant it wouldn't be the first time I fractured my hand." I answer calmly.

"What happened?" She asks and I can't decide if it's genuine interest or not.

"Cheer practice sometimes ends badly with cartwheels and back handsprings." I say and shrug again and she nods.

"I'll drive you to the hospital if you want?" Silas says and I shake my head.

"I'll take my bike thanks I want to be back in time for my AP courses and cheer practice later. We have a game Friday and a competition Saturday." I say stretching my arms.

"Maybe you should go with someone..." Candice says and I turn to her and arch an eyebrow.

"Maybe just in case you can't drive the motorcycle." She says with a shrug.

"Fine but if I miss my class you are a dead man." I say pointing at Silas and he and Candice laughs.

"Can I talk to you before you go?" She asks me and I look at her inquisitively and she sighs.

"You've literally got 5 minutes my hand fucking hurts." I say and she laughs and claps her hands.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry for everything." She whispers and I look at her indifferently.

"Doesn't matter if you believe me but I am. I shouldn't have said those things about you or your family. And I guess a punch to the stomach was what it took for me to realize that." She says and I nod.

"And I also want to say you're a good sister." She says simply before walking away.

Silas and I get into his jeep before we speed of to the hospital.
