Chapter 1: The fight
Setting: Orange County High
Upon setting foot off of the bus and onto school grounds, Courtney looked around for one, specific girl. Apparently she had an issue to settle with Courtney, a very important issue. She immediately spotted Sam standing with a group of friends, impatient to finally confront this dilemma. Courtneycasually walked up to her and pulled her hair. "What do you want from me now McCall?"
Sam turned around in a rage to face Courtney. With an evil smirk on her face, she said with bitter words "Oh look, it's the slut of Orange County High. Tell me, how was the kiss that you shared with my boyfriend?"
Court raised an eyebrow at Sam having no clue to what she was blabbering on about. "That's an interesting accusation you have spewing out of your mouth. As always, I have no idea what you are talking about. I have never, nor will I ever, kiss your boyfriend."
With a scowl on her face, Sam shoved Courtney lightly and screamed in anger. "Don't lie to me you filthy piece of nothing. I saw you."
Courtney slapped her. "Listen here you blind little ingrate. What you saw was Jax and I doing chemistry. That is it."
Sam, finally snapping, went after Courtney, ready to strangle her. "LIES...YOU'RE ALL LIES COURTNEY MATTHEWS!" Court ducked out of the way and quickly kicked Sam as she fell to ground. Courtney noticed people were starting to gather but paid no attention to them- her priority at the moment was to kick Sam's scrawny behind.
Sam got up quickly to finish what she started. "YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I HATE GIRLS LIKE YOU!...TARTS WHO LIKE TO STEAL OTHER GIRLS' BOYFRIENDS!
Court retorted "That's funny, weren't you one of those 'tarts' at a point? Oh say...when you stole Ryan from Danielle?"
"WHY YOU LITTLE..."
At this point, Sam lunged at Courtney ready to pound her into the ground. Jaxarrivedat schooljust intime to see Court and Sam rolling on the floor. He started laughing- typical guy response to girls fighting over him. "Now, if only they were in mud...that'd be awesome."
"JAX! Oh thank god. Tell this little boyfriend stealer that you're mine..." Sam said at the sight of Jax.
"No, Jax...tell her what we were doing. Tell her that we were ONLY LAB PARTNERS and that we were FINISHING A LAB THAT NIGHT..." Courtney got in her plea.
"And let this fight go to waste? Hmm..." Jax thought about it.
In fury, Court screamed "JAX!"
At that moment Sam slapped Court across her face then kicked her. Courtney went to punch her back when the principal showed up. Principal McBrookson scowled and looked at the two bruised girls.
"What's going on here?"
Courtney turned to look Principal McBrookson straight it the face. As if on cue, she put down her fist with a look of terror in her eyes. Sam, seeing her chance, decided to play up the scene.
"Thank god you came! SHE was about to punch me. If you hadn't come...I don't know what she would havedone..." Sam lied through her teeth, giving an innocent look then a quick dirty one towards Courtney.
"YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY BELIEVE THIS LITTLE WENCH!" Court screamed in frustration.
To finally stop the madness going on in his school, Principal McBrookson said "Okay you two, that's quite enough. Samantha, you call your father...Courtney you call your mother."
"WHY SHOULD I? SHE STARTED THIS WHOLE THING BECAUSE-" Courtney exclaimed until she was cut off.
"I SAID, THAT'S ENOUGH MS. MATTHEWS...KEEP IT UP AND I'LL CALL YOUR MOTHER MYSELF! It wouldn't be the first time..."
Court grabbed her book bag with tears streaming down her face. "UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE! I get blamed for something I didn't start, something I didn't want to get involved with!"
PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE
Joyce sat in a chair next to her daughter as the principal explained the day's happenings.
Principal McBrookson managed to sum it up in one sentence. "Mrs. Matthews, the reason to why you were called to my office is I caught your daughter in a one on one battle with Ms. McCall on school grounds."
Joyce's eyes became wide and she looked down at her daughter."Courtney…what has gotten into you lately? Why are you acting like this?"
All the while Courtney sat in the chair staring out the window. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. Staring at Court, Sam decided she would try to make matters worse and shout out a suggestion.
"Well, if you don't mind me saying Mrs. Matthews, I think your daughter is emotionally disturbed...maybe you should take her to a shrink...with all due respect..."
"Thank you Sam. That is a very nice, very smart gesture. I'll think about it..." Joyce said, politely.
Sam smiled another one of her little innocent smiles. Courtney felt sick to her stomach; tears began to pour down her cheek.
Principal McBrookson interrupted with a sigh. "Well Joyce, how would you like to handle this one?"
"Do what you have to Principal McBrookson."
"Then I'm afraid Courtney will receive a week of suspension. Being as this is another serious offense aside from the other incident earlier in the year. "
Courtney sighed and mumbled, "Figures…"
Joyce turned to give her daughter a disapproving, strict look. "Excuse me young lady...what did you say?"
Court exploded after keeping quiet for what seemed like hours. "IT FIGURES THAT LITTLE MISS GOODY TWO SHOES OVER HERE GETS NOTHING BUT PROBABLY A DETENTION BECAUSE HER FATHER IS A RICH BASTARD WITH A COLD HEART AND A BALD HEAD!"
Joyce was appalled by her daughter's behavior. "COURTNEY ALEXIS MATTHEWS! YOU APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW!"
Court grabbed her book bag and gave Sam an evil look with tears in her eyes which continued to fall androll down her cheeks. In pure disgust, Courtney got right in Sam's face and through gritted teeth said "I hope you rot in hell for the things you have done to me." She quickly exited the office, giving herself time to prepare herself for what wrath she was in store for once her mother got a hold of her.
