She slowly walked down the hall, careful to keep her head down. She was almost to her locker, no one had said anything to her. She was almost at her locker when she was thrown to the ground.

"Hello Maxie." a deep voice said.

She looked up to meet a pair of black eyes, Fang. She heard giggling from behind him, she saw Lissa and Brigid.

"What's wrong Maxie?" Lissa asked mockingly.

Max stood up, avoiding eye contact.

"Aw come one, Max. Don't be like that." Brigid said with a laugh.

Everyone looked away. Max retreived her books from her locker and pushed throw them. Fang, Lissa, and Brigid, the three musketeers, the kids determined to make her sophomore year a living hell.
