The next day didn't get any better. Not only that but, my whole body went numb. Then when I came home my mom asked me how was school. What would you tell your mom if she had asked you that? "Oh, same old same old."

I was setting back in the lunch room by my self because everybody else hasn't come yet. Until Johnathan came by and sat down next to me, "Hay," he said as he sat down.

"Does your body hurt as much as mine does?" I asked him.

"Yes, yes it does dearly." He replied, "I just hope that never happens again."

"Yah, Carmen and Norelle well be in detention for a pretty long time."

"What others that are your hate list I should know about?" he interrogated.

"Uh, Brandi and Mia." I say, "But it's not like you're going to go and pick a fight right now are you?"

"No they have to do something first." He snarled.

Lilly and Mac came and sat down. "See I told you this would happen." He said.

"Shut up Mac they're right there." Lilly said threw clenched teeth.

"It's okay Mac I'm not going to kill you." Johnathan said.

"Is that a guarantee or a promise?" Lilly asked.

"Heh, Heh you're so funny." I say sarcastically.

"It might just be a promise." Johnathan said.

"Analighe can I speak to you?" Lilly asked threw clenched teeth.

"I guess?" I said unsure as I followed her away from were I was. "Yes now what did you want to tell me that was all so important?" I asked her.

"Analighe, that's Johnathan I'm not sure what his last name is but have you seen him? He is at least seven feet tall, he is fric'n scary and let's not forget he blows F bombs like there's no tomorrow." Lilly protested.

"Now do you really know him?" I asked her. Because she didn't know what she was talking about, I know he's nice (somewhat to me anyways), he's very protective of me.

"I don't need to know him. You can know a guy by his looks, he don't seem all that happy."

"Now is this how you're suppose to act when your best friend gets a boyfriend?" nobody answered.

"You're making me seem like the bad person, when really he is." She yelled.

"Lilly he saved me from Carmen purposely. He is the first guy I liked him for who he is." My eyes started to smudge. "You don't care do you?"

"I don't know what to say." She says.

I walked back ending the conflict sitting next to Johnathan. As Mac sat there motionless, as Jackie and Lizzie come and sit down next to us.

"See Lizzie," Jackie said as she knew before anyways.

"Urgh, don't tell the same thing will happen." Johnathan says looking up.

"Analighe you want to talk?" Lizzie asked.

"No." I simply say.

After lunch I had to suffer bore ness in History,

The first constitution in our nation's history was the Articles of Confederation. Under the Articles of Confederation we took "baby steps" as a nation. The government conducted the affairs of the country during the last two years of the Revolutionary War, helped to monumental pieces of legislation in the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1785.

"Johnathan," teacher called, "What is an Ordinance?"

"Uh," he stumbled looking threw his text book. "A law that has been made."

"Yes now continue reading."

While the Articles of Confederation was a plan for the government based upon the principles fought for in the American Revolutionary War, it contained crucial flaws. It had no power of the national taxation, no power to control trade, and it provided for a comparatively weak executive. Therefore, it could not enforce legislation. It was a "league of friendship" which was opposed to any type of national authority. The Articles of Confederation's greatest weakness, however, was that it had no direct origin in the people themselves-it knew only state sovereignty. Each state therefore, had the power to compel states to honor national obligations. The government's was to control foreign policy and conclude treaties. Economic credibility was a major problem because the government owed $42 million (more then $40 million today) after the Revolutionary War, and the debt was mainly owed to American patriots. This financial obligation was not paid off until the early part of the 1880's.

"Mac," the teacher called. "What does sovereignty mean?"

"Supreme authority, mostly over another state." The bell rang.

"Read pages threw 177- 190 you can answer the questions tomorrow." She said as we left.

Mac came down the 7th grade hall walking with me along with Johnathan. "Dude, you know how Brandi and Norelle are like the best friends?" Mac asked us.

"Yeh," I say, you'll see them going down hallways like they're joined to the hip or something.

"Well, uh when Norelle gets out from detention which is in about 3 more days they're planning an attack. We have to do something."

"What we did before." Johnathan said.

"He doesn't get that Brandi, Mia, Norelle, and Carmen are best friends that are 10 x stronger then you alone with Analighe." Max said.

"They're just girls with grudges. They should get over things." Johnathan said like nothing mattered.

"Yah, I hope you like it when you're killed." Max said.

"I will, now we really shouldn't worry about anything." Johnathan said.

"Analighe what are we going to do?" Max asked me.

"Find a way for you two to get along."

The next days Johnathan did nothing as the rest of us are here working our butts off in my back yard.

"Johnathan are you sure you don't want to help us?" I asked him.

"You'll be fine I have no idea what you are worried about. They're just girls that can't seem to get rid of their grudges. You'll be fine if you need my help I'll come barging into the room and save the day." He says rolling his eyes.

"Yah I'll yet you know when I need you." I said as he grabbed for my hand.

The days continued for this for a very long time. Days seemed endless, hard working but Johnathan was still here like this was a waste of time. Then it came the day that Norelle and her little gang will get their vengeances. I even have no idea why the heck she hates me. In 2nd grade we were best friends. Then Mac moved here though I became friends with him, Norelle hated me ever since.

After lunch I got excused for going to the library and to get a book. I walked in It was normal, books. The book that I wanted was there but then I noticed in the corner of my eye behind me was Norelle.

"Perfect," she panted moving towards me. "You're alone."

"Oh don't tell me we're starting this again? Don't you think it's time to stop acting like a child and get over what ever it is you're worried about?" I asked her as I turned around.

"Well then, that's just how we'll settle things." She said so calmly but, she came charging at me like a speeding bullet.

Her fist flew up for a punch as I ducked. "That wasn't what I meant." I said as I was dodging her kicks.

Johnathan knew what was going on by the moment she flew that first punch. But he was in guided reading class. "Dang-it," he whispered. He starts tapping his foot on the floor as he knows what is going on.

"Is there some thing wrong Johnathan?" the teacher asked.

"Can I go to the bathroom?" he asked.

"Eee, yah?" she said as he left in a flash.

"Norelle," I panted, as physic beams are flying. "Why do you have to do this?!" I screamed hoping a teacher would come in.

"Your sweet boyfriend isn't here to save you now." She said as I dodged one of her kicks.

"Crap I running out of time!" Johnathan said as he was running to the library.

"Hold on Analighe,"

"No, he's not but I can still win this on my own." I said. I looked back a physic beam was rushing towards my back. I hadn't noticed, Norelle was too fast and shot an attack form the back. I came flopping on the floor blood rushed down from my back. I just sat there I was too weak to move, my arms are paralyzed.

Fire came racing down and hit Norelle. "Well, it looks like you didn't come in the right amount of time." She said to him.

"Ugh," he looked back at me rushing to me he said softly, "Analighe are you okay?"

I couldn't answer I knew what to say (No) but I couldn't say anything; I lost total consciousness. My eye vision started fading.

"I'll take that as a 'no'." he said then focused his attention to Norelle. Flames came like hell fire out of his hands. I could feel hard shots coming out from him. The earth felt like it was shaking. Anymore flames, I thought and he's going to burn this place to the ground.

Fire started reaching towards me. I could fell the extreme temperature rising up rapidly. Johnathan looked to notice that I was about to burn into flames. I could feel he was carrying me as soon as I felt that I had lifted the ground.

The fire alarm came buzzing threw my ears. My heart sank into his arm as he carried me off somewhere. Even though I had to idea what became of Norelle; I'm sure he took care of it.

I woke up later in my bed? I looked around and Johnathan was setting on my desk chair sleeping over off on my desk. "Holy crap where am I?" I asked myself. I go up from my bed. My back ached as I stood up. "Ouch," I say falling on my knees.

Johnathan woke up when he heard the thud. "Oh, are you alright?" he asked helping me get up.

"No I'm great," I sarcastically said as soon as I was back on my feet.

"Yeah," he chuckled.

My first thought came to my head. "What happened to Norelle?"

He sighed, "Gone," I knew what he meant gone as in dead.

"Mia and Brandi are going to really want revenge, now what do we do?" I asked him. Not really thinking about that he killed her… for me. Why would he do that? He didn't actually have to kill her. That was kind of hard to believe. Why is he not even in jail? Or some place like that. Thoughts kept rolling threw my head about this. He could be a villain. But then again Norelle was one too. So do all villains just die because they hurt people for no reason?

Johnathan put his arms around me to help me stand up. "It's okay we'll think of something, hopefully nothing lethal but something." He said.

"Mia and Brandi are a lot stronger than Norelle, Mia's power is she is able to put up forefeels and Brandi's is walking threw stuff.

"You know what I just noticed," I say changing the subject.

"What?" he asked me.

"You're a lot stronger then everybody else."

"Well thank you but that would be because I got held back."

"Oh," I said that really didn't matter to me. I knew he really cared about me. This is what happens when it all comes down.

He reached up to kiss me. "Hey, does my mom know about this?" I asked him as soon as he pulls away.

"Not really, she knows you're about of school because you got hurt falling off the stairs that was recently replaced." He said laughing.

"You want to go to the park?" I asked him. He nodded as he went and kissed me again.
