Maddie stayed where she was to make sure that they had gone before she came out of her hiding place and looked round the toilets to make sure they had gone when the school bell rang indicating that it was start of school. Maddie rushed out of the toilets and headed to her form room and took her seat that was assigned to her which was next to a small blonde girl who looked Maddie over seeing the mud stains on her clothes and her red and puffy eyes. She gave Maddie a smile which she returned.

"Your new here aren't you?" Maddie said looking at the girl who nodded.

"It's my first day here actually and I am so nervous. I saw what they did to you and I am so sorry. I'm summer"

"I'm Maddie; oh it's normal for me as they always do that to me at least once a week. You might not want to be seen with me "Maddie said turning her head away from the girl.

"Don't be silly, you are the only one who has actually spoken to me and they might not do it to you when you're with me"

"They will find away trust me they always do"

"Do your parents know it's this bad, surely they can do something about it" Maddie shook her head.

"My parents don't know about any of this and I want to keep it that way"

The bell rang to say that it was start of first lesson so Maddie grabbed bag and slung it over her shoulder.

"What class do you have now summer?" Summer reached into her bag and got her timetable out.

"I have English with Mrs Hewitt room 202, according to this" summer said pointing to her time-table.

"You're in my class, come on" Maddie stopped at her locker and grabbed her English book leaving summer standing waiting for her. Maddie hung her bag up when Emily shoved Maddie hard which hurt her arm even more and made it lose its grip and sent her flying into her lock until she was wedged into it. Emily laughed as she looked back at her handy work with her friends laughing and pointing and taking photo's on their phones.

"Muddy Maddie" one of them said out loud making them all laugh.

"Hey just leave her alone, what has she done to you?" Summer said rather loudly and now regretting it as they came storming over to summer.

"Oh look Muddy Maddie has 1 friend, how cute" Emily spat

"Guy's I feel bad, I think we should help her" one of them said sarcastically like they meant it until she laughed which made Emily laugh.

"That was so funny Dylan; I really thought you meant it then"

"Come let's go" Emily said walking away.

"Maddie are you alright?" Summer said lending Maddie a helping her up out of her full length locker.

"You didn't need to do that" Maddie said slamming her lock shut and leaving a confused summer behind.

Mean while at Holby Jeff and Dixie had been at work for a few hours and been to a couple of hoax calls other than that it had been rather quiet.

"Dix? What are you thinking about Princess?" Jeff asked taking a seat next to her on the steps at the back of the ambulance.

"Just the kids well Maddie actually"

"Why Princess I am sure Maddie is fine" Jeff said placing a hand round her shoulders and placing a kiss to her temple.

"I don't know ...If there was something wrong Maddie would tells right?"

"Of course she will Dix, why do you think there's something wrong?" Jeff asked concerned.

"I don't I might just be paranoid but, I mean this morning I think Maddie lied to us when we asked what was wrong and why she wasn't eating all her breakfast"

"I'm sure Maddie was telling the truth, she has no reason to lie to us and I am sure she would tell us if something was wrong ok, stop worrying Princess" Jeff pulled Dixie closer to him and held her tight. Dixie knew something wasn't right and how right she was.

Back at school it was a few minutes until lunch time when the bell signalled it was lunch time and this was the break that Maddie dreaded the most because this was when Emily had more power over how much she did to Maddie. Maddie walked into the cafeteria and looked round to see Emily and clones sitting at their usual table. They looked up at Maddie and waved and whispered things about her so Maddie walked off and joined the line and grabbed a tray. As the line moved along Maddie looked at her options and chose the tomato pasta salad with a glass of orange juice and walked round the room looking for somewhere to sit. Maddie was so busy trying to find somewhere to sit that she didn't see what was coming next. Emily went to walk past Maddie who was looking the opposite direction when Emily shoved Maddie's tray up so her food went straight into her face and no to her glasses and into her long brown hair and went trickling down her school uniform. Maddie stood still rooted to the spot looking round the room seeing everyone laughing but her eyes fell on .summer who gave her a weak smile.

"Look who missed her mouth everyone, such a klutz. Aww she's going to cry" Emily said laughing.

Maddie rushed out of the room and went to the only place she knew was sort of safe which where the ladies toilets were. Summer got up and rushed after Maddie who she rushed into the ladies toilets and locked herself into a cubical and sobbed.

"Maddie" summer said softly

"GO AWAY SUMMER" Maddie shouted.

"I am not going anywhere, so I will sit out here as long as I have to" summer said sitting outside Maddie's cubical. Maddie could see summer was now sitting on the floor outside her cubical.

A few minutes later Maddie opened her Door and summer stood up looking Maddie over.

"Ok, let's get this off you" summer led Maddie towards the sink and began to wash off the tomato stains the best she could.

"Why are you doing this?" Maddie said wiping her eyes.

"Because I know what it is like to be bullied and I want to help you and plus the fact that I like you"

"You like... me" Maddie said puzzled.

"Yeah, I like you, why wouldn't I like you?"

"Because no one else does, whenever anyone gets close to me Emily makes their life a living hell so I push everyone way to protect them and save them the worry of Emily bullying them. I just don't like me in general I mean look at me I am a Geek, freak whatever the word is for a person like me"

"Maddie , you have no reason to hate yourself I mean your clever, funny, pretty and have a great personality who couldn't like that" Summer said placing a hand on Maddie's shoulder.
