At of all the people in this whole school it had to be Courtney. Kind, strange, weird Courtney. We met about a year ago in art class. We were drawing pieces based on magic. I drew the elements, and she drew about dreams we sat only a table away,  then she came over to me and ask for a new pencil. We started to talk to each other that day. From that point on, we've been close friends. We even help decorate each other's sketchbooks with a bunch of stickers when we got bored. It's funny the simplest of things could bring anyone with a common interest together.

"Is that a sketchbook?" Abbey asks.

I'm zoned in on one unicorn sticker in the top right corner of the book, I know where to look because I was the one to put it there. As I watch it fly in the air I can feel my blood boil, and my rage build. One of the biggest things that piss me off is when someone picks or bullies my friends, its because I don't want them to go through the things I had to go through. I follow the sketchbook till it hits the floor with all her other things, then a here a big loud smack to the floor and the crowd go "OOOoo". I snap and lose control.

I drop my backpack to the floor, I take a deep breath and start to move forward. On the left arms, I can abbey touch my arm and slip away all in one motion as I charge to the crowd. I can here Morgans, Mel's and Abbey's voices get quieter the closer I get to the group." Whose book is that?" he asks.

"Its Courtneys"

"And it looks like someone is about to get hurt " Abbey sighs.

I reach the crowd and I don't care whos in my way I'm gonna bulldoze anyone in my way to get where I need to be. the more people I push out of the way the clearer the voices get. "Awe look at the cute little unicorn book. What did your momma give that to you? To write about your feelings and your unicorn best friend."

I hear Courtney's voice.

"No, it's just a sticker that was put on my sketchbook, now give it back and leave me alone, I have somewhere to be"

"Oh, do you now?"

I don't even have to see him to know that he was the biggest smile on his face right now. I recognize that voice. Kyle Brown, the captain of the soccer team, and the biggest asshole that has ever had. He's a mastermind at bullying, he can cause the biggest fights but the second there the slightest sign of any authority, he's gone, or he makes it look like he's trying to help and or make it look like he's stopping it. In the eyes of the teachers, he's Mr Popular angel. It makes me sick on the shit he gets away with. He was one of the guys that picked on me years ago he's majorly improved his skills of making people miserable without discipline. The only ones he doesn't bother or hurt is his inner circle of asshole jocks and bitchy cheerleaders. Oh, the joys of high school and the basic stereotypes groups. As much as we like to laugh about them, they're still true to this day, just slightly evolved versions.

Anyways I managed to break into the centre of the problem, by falling to the floor cause someone decided it would be funny in tripping me before get there. Once I hit the floor the focus of everyone's eyes hit me and shift off of Courtney on the floor gathering all her things before people start taking or breaking them. I stand and refuse to meet eyes with kyle I look around everyone went from smiles and laughter to dead silence as I enter. As I rush to Courtney side I pick up a few things along with her backpack which I now ripped open. As we finish grabbing everything and putting it in the bag, I motion Courtney to the edge of the crowd by a small opening. As we are going I can see in the corner of my eye Kyle walk towards with his arms out, with a smartass confused look.

"HEY.....Were not done here yet"

The crowd start to join in again, I move Courtney closer to the side as I stand tall and hold my ground, still refusing to meet him face on. as I wait for his next words, I turn just a small bit to see him getting closer to me. I then feel his hands on my back and he uses all of his force to push me to the ground, as he's putting all his strength on my, I bend my knee and widen my stance to balance myself. as the pressure releases from him, I only shifted a small bit closer to Courtney. the crowd went from cheering for kyle to laugh at him for not being able to knock me down. I guess eleven years of being a catcher for a competitive softball team really came in handy. I wasn't going to wait for his sly comment I straighten up to face him, but not before seeing a concerned face on Courtney as she knows what I'm going to have to do.

"I think we're done here," I say with the biggest fake smile I could make. I then turn away again to face Courtney as I start to walk her out of the group.

"NO!!" he raises his voice to try and take control of this situation.

"she said to leave her alone, so we're leaving"

"No your not, you're not doing anything." As the words leave his mouth the small opening closes by two of kyle friends standing in front of Courtney. I turn quick enough to lift my hand to push kyle away as he was getting closer to me, it only shifts him away a little bit enough to slow him down but not to stop him. I was already sick and tired of him trying to lay his hands on me, time to ends this. my parents always told me to never start the fight but to finish it and that's exactly what I'm going to do. I make a fist with my hand, kyle looks at my hand smirks and continues towards me. as soon as he was in arms-length I swung my hand to make for what I thought was my best right hook into his jaw. the force was so strong that he spun around one before hitting the ground face first. the crowd went from supporting him to backing me up in seconds.

I just showed the whole school that the top dog can be dethroned by a nobody, in a blink of an eye, the power has shifted, and the only one who seems to be upset about that is the king himself. Kyle raises to his knees and looks at me with the angriest face I've seen on him yet, as he wipes the blood off of his lips.
