Annie's Pov

I was pretty sure that I had lost Lilac's friendship,and soon my mind. What did I do to Marie? Why did she want to torture me? I felt tears welling up in my eyes as Lilac gave me a disapproving look,making me feel guilty even though I was trying to warn her.

She wasn't going to believe me anytime soon. I hated Marie so much. That day,Lilac didn't come to hang out with me. Instead,she trotted happily alongside Marie and her friends. She gave me this they-are-nice-girls-why-do-you-hate-them look.

So I speedily ran towards them,outraged, and pounced on Marie. I heard muffled screams from the back but I didn't care. She was not getting away with this. She was stealing my only friend! I punched her and she pulled my hair. Lilac and a few others tried to pull us apart,but I was too busy trying to save my long,tangly black hair from Marie's iron grip.

But I did all of this in my mind,so in reality I was just staring at them as they passed by with a weird look in my eyes. I heard them snigger,Lilac was the only one to keep a straight face. Instead,she quickly signed: " Why do you hate them?" I rolled my eyes,even though I knew that it would make her think I was being mean.
After our classes were over,I took the bus home and saw Marie and her friends. What were they doing on our bus? As I tried to squat and sit down on my regular seat next to Lilac,someone pushed me out of the way and sat down. I tried to get my seat back,but the girl was much larger than me and wouldn't budge. I had to sit next to some boy who kept on swearing and yelling in my ear because he knew I couldn't hear it. He was dumb enough to think that I couldn't read his mouth,so I replied with flicking the bird,which shut him up,but made me get in some sort of detention. Why do I get in detention but the boy doesn't?! Seriously! I sulked as Lilac,Marie and the other girls got out of the bus,probably having a movie night like me and Lilac used to do quite often.

I was afraid of what they might do to Lilac,she was too good for them. She was too innocent to be in this whole lot of drama and I was afraid of how it might affect her.
