Chapter 2: Beat Up by Words and Knives

Taranee sat in her chair and thought for a while. After a little thinking, she decided to call Shelia's parents for a conference with them, Will and Mist. After making the call, she called Mist into her office again.

Will arrived at the school and went into the school and straight to Taranee to pick up Mist. Once she arrived, she found Mist waiting there patiently for her in one of the chairs. Before she could leave however, Taranee ran over to them and gave her friend a hug. "It's good to see you again Will though I wish it were on better terms."

"I agree but I will take any chance I get to see you again." The two girls laughed. "Well, we better get going."

"Hold on Will, could you stay for a little while longer. I am having Shelia and her parents over to talk with them for a bit and I had hoped you would stay here to discuss these issues the kids have with each other. I want to show you what I mean about Shelia." Then Shelia and her parents showed up at the same time as usual. It doesn't matter how far apart they are, they always arrive together for reasons Taranee didn't know and at this point really doesn't care. "Ok everyone, into the office." Taranee said as they all walked in and sat down. "Ok everyone, we're here to discuss the issue the two are having and see if there is a way we can resolve this without the need for suspension. Mist, if you don't mind, would you explain everything that Shelia does to you?" Taranee asked nicely.

"All she ever does is pick on me, talks badly about my mother in front of everyone, spreads rumors about my family and I and all around tries to make me mad so that I will end up beating her up. I don't know why she hates me so much." Will looked at her daughter and frowned feeling sorry for her.

"You are such a liar Mist; I never did anything like that to you." Shelia said trying to tick her off.

"Shelia, you are such a jerk ever since I met you and never once did I do anything bad to you. You can't lie yourself out of this Shelia so stop trying to." Mist said angrily.

"You are such a goodie goodie Mist just like your pathetic mother. You could never lie to anyone even if you had to." Shelia said seeing the rage in Mists eyes. "You whole family is pathetic." Taranee couldn't even say anything with the ways the girls were going nor could Will and Shelia's parents just let it go on.

"Ok that's it, I am out of here. I don't have to listen to say things like that about my family."

Will started to get up to grab Mist but Taranee spoke up. "No Will, let her go. She needs to get away from Shelia." Taranee rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Now that I have the opportunity to speak, it is time to ask Shelia's parents some things. Tell me you two; do you even care what your daughter does to others? Have you ever tried to stop her from being the way she is?" Taranee asked.

"No, why should we? She is just a kid and kids do that type of thing so why bother to try and stop something that is bound to happen?"

"Yes, I agree, kids do fight sometimes but this has become a constant thing. And now that it has led to physical violence, I have to suspend her if she doesn't stop and possibly expel her. If you don't care however, I will expel her right now and this can be ended right now because I won't allow this at this school."

"Fine, go ahead and expel her if you wish. It isn't going to change anything." Shelia's parents said with a monotone voice.

"Fine then, from here on in; Shelia is no longer allowed at this school." Then the three left the building and Mist walked back in. "I have never met a student with so many suspensions in my life." Taranee pulled out a giant stack of papers. "This is one years worth of suspensions. I thought that maybe she would change a little and back off. I am sorry for everything that has happened. Now maybe you can do better in all your classes now that Shelia is gone." Taranee waved goodbye and Will and Mist walked out of the building with smiles on their faces.

"Mist, let's get some lunch." They got into the car and headed to lunch. They spent the rest of the day together and even went to her fathers work. It was getting dark and the two went home after getting some dinner. They got home and Mist told her mother that she would be inside in a minute and so Will headed inside. By now it is dark and Matt is home from work.

"What a day, no more Shelia and more time to focus. I got to spend the whole day with mom and even got to go and see dad at work. Man, what a day." Then Mist heard a noise and got out of the car and to the back of the car. She didn't see anything and assumed it was the neighbor's cat that hung around the house at night. When she turned around to go back she got hit in the face. "Shelia?" Mist asked in shock. Then Shelia kicked her to the ground and gagged her. After that Shelia ripped her clothes with knives and then left her in the street half naked and bloody. Then Shelia ran off and left an unconscious Mist lying on the ground.

Will is inside wondering what her daughter is doing. "I guess I'll go see what is talking her so long." Will walked out and to the car and saw that the keys are still in the ignition. "That's not like Mist to leave anything in the car." Will started getting worried and ran out to the street and found Mist on the ground. She ran over and picked her up and brought her inside the house and into the bathroom. Will locked the door and ripped off the rest of her clothes and cleaned her up.

A/N: There is chapter two. I think that I ended it off at an odd spot but that seemed like the best place to end it. Thank you for the reviews and please review. Enjoy.
