I ran down the halls, trying to run from what I had just done. It was an accident, but they didn't get that. I was trying to escape from it, but maneuvering around the hall was really hard. I pushed and shoved until I got to my final destination, the fire exit. I didn't care if I set off the alarm, I just wanted to get out of their range of fire. I saw mad women running down the halls and their 5 inch high heels clicking against the laminate flooring. They were coming at me from all sides and I had no choice but to run into the pool area.

I shoved open the doors, hoping it was empty. It was full of half-naked guys. I heard the heels approaching and the only places I could hide were the bottom of the swimming pool and the boys locker room. I couldn't hold my breath that long, so I had one choice. As the doors swung open and sweaty, ditzy girls walking in, I took off towards the locker room.

I opened the door and was hit with a wall of steam. I had to get through before they ended up on the other side of the door. I asked people to move but they didn't hear me. I had to resort to pushing and shoving. These people were pretty much naked, sweaty men and I just wanted to get through to the other door. I finally pushed my way though the crowd and got to the door. I turned around, hoping no one had seen or noticed me. My hope was stepped on by hundreds of guys. They were all looking at me like I was a maniac.

"Sorry. Angry mob of girls chasing after me. I was trying to get water from the drinking fountain and somehow it went everywhere. All of the girls got soaked and have been chasing me. They are probably outside this door and I am going to get attacked with words and perfume."

I twisted the door handle and came face to face, more like face to boobs, with the most popular girl in school. Her name was Tasha. She was about 5'8 without heels on, but her heels made her look like a tower in New York.

"You sprayed me and my friends with water."

"Actually it is my friends and I with water, and I didn't mean to. I was just trying to get some water and it just didn't work. Sorry I ruined your hair and make-up."

"Don't screw around with me, honey. I could have your social life, the tiny one you have, destroyed in an instant. You don't know what I am capable of. Try me and see what happens."

"Actually, I just want to get to class, so maybe if you can move over..."

"No, I just want..."

"Tasha, let her through."

I turned around to see Blake, a long time friend standing up for me. Blake was Tasha's boyfriend, more like slave. She would make him do everything for her. Blake and I used to be best friends, but ever since he started dating her, he hasn't spoken one word to me.

"Excuse me. You know you are my boyfriend, not hers."

"She is my friend, Tasha. You can't take that away from me. I started dating you because you were different. At first, I thought it was in a good way, but now I know that you are a bad person. I can't stand you and the way you talk to my best friend. Just let her though. It was an accident. You need to let it go, just like you need to let me go."

"Blake, are you breaking up with me? No one breaks up with me. I tell them when we are broken up and now is sure not the time we are finished. I was going to give you everything and then take it back after about a week, but since you cut our time short, I would just like you know that your social platform was just down graded to where this loser's is."

She pointed to me.

"Tasha, you are not ruining my rep. Sorry sweetie. I am the captain of the football team. I am sure any girl here would fall head over heels for me. I am also sure that there are many guys here that will be lining up to just kiss your hand. I sure as hell wont be one in that line. Instead, I will be taking my best friend to coffee and asking her forgiveness. Take care Tasha."

With that, Blake had disappeared into the sea of guys. I was able to get out of the locker room and get to my locker. I reached for my books, everything came out. My papers, my books, my backpack. Nothing today was going my way.

As I was picking up my papers, Tasha walked by and kick my papers out of my hand. I reached down to grab them and she place the back of her heel on the back of my hand and leaned backward, putting pressure on her heel. It felt like the whole back of her shoe was going to puncture my hand and go all the way though. It had just broken skin when Tasha heard her name. It was Blake with the principle. She took a step back and walked around my hand and into the principle's office. Blake ran to my aid. He brought me to the nurse while his friends were picking up my papers and shoving them into my locker. I would eventually have to go back and fix that. The nurse put peroxide on my hand and a bandage and sent me away. As Blake and I were walking out of the nurse's office, Tasha was walking out the principle's office. She walked past us with a smirk and turned around.

"I told him that I accidentally stepped on your hand while I was trying to avoid the falling papers. He sent me away with a verbal warning. Don't underestimate my power, freak."

With that she walked away with her army of girls following close behind.

"How the hell could you stand her for that long?"

"I have no idea. I guess I just thought that if I had her, I would be the most popular. I have realized that being popular doesn't over power friendship."

"Are you trying to apologize?"

"Yes, I am trying. Nell, I am sorry that my ex was a bitch and I even doubted our friendship for one minute. You will always be my best friend."

"I was hoping you would say that. See, I never lost hope or faith in you. Good instincts, right?"

"You were always the one with a quick mind."

"You were always the one with quick reflexes and comebacks. Speaking of, do you really think that I am a skank who has loved you ever since I met you, which by the way was like fourteen years ago."

"Actually if was fifteen and no I don't think that you are that, in fact, Tasha made me a script to read to you and that was part of it. Sadly enough, I have to admit that I have a slap coming. Am I right?"

"No, not now. Maybe later."

I smiled and walked to my next class knowing I had my friend back and hopefully everything will be alright.
