"No? Then what happened?"Monica said obviously enjoying Briannas embarassment.
"Leave me alone OK? I have classes so go bother someone who actually cares,"Brianna bent down,picked up her books up then turned walked past Monica and almost past her Moniketes but not knocked the books from her arms and grinned.
"Did I say we were done here?"
"No,but I did,"

"Yeah well this is what the big bitch can do!"Monica puched her in the doubled over for a minute then when Monica went to knee her in the face,she grabbed her leg and pushed it back so hard that Monica fell hard to the stood over to Monica lying on the floor.
"Like I said a big fat git who is now on the floor thanks to one of the low lifes right?"
"I will kill you,"Monica said standing up.
"Will you really? Is that a promise? I'll even pay you to do it,"Brianna said sarcasticly.
"But how...how did you get her on the floor,"One of the Moniketes asked confused.
"You have seemed to have forgotton Moni-sket and your Moni-rats where exactly I come from,"
"No you come from a dump and by the looks of you,you haven't eaten for about a year,can't imagine how those poor little brother and sisters of yours feel having nothing to eat,"Monica got up.
