Hi readers, I hope you like the last chapter. I forgot to say I disclaim the characters, but everything else is mine and my friend's. Thanks for reading and remember:
People can hurt you with the truth, but you should never accept being comforted by a lie. People have done that for me before and let me just say they never come within ten feet of me again.
My father was my best friend and only way to get through it when he was killed in a hit and run when I was in sixth grade. I had just turned twelve and was on my own. Mom loves me but she is barely home because of her work, whatever she does, she makes a killing though. She offers me money, a car, new clothes, anything to help me with my problems, but I don't need those things I would much rather just be me. I work as a waitress as Gilly's Tavern on Spyglass Street in Roseville Virginia. We have moved multiple times because of Mom's work, and that is why I have had so many failed friendships. Her work isn't the problem, it actually helps because I get to leave my frenemies in the dust, but I know the dust is settling now because I just walked into school and three girls I have avoided for most of my life and left behind, except Macey of course because we haven't moved thanks to my protests about staying in one high school. Bex Baxter, Liz Sutton and Macey McHenry stood united in front of me and I am almost ready to go jump off Solomon Pier.
I looked at the girls in front of me and tried to walk around them, but they stepped in my way. Finally after a few failed attempts at going around them, I pushed through them. The only bad thing was the four other people I never expected to see were standing right behind them. My own brother decided to try and stop me from getting away, and then there was the most popular guy in school, Liz's boyfriend since birth as their families were both rich and made something of an alliance, and Bex's best friend/boyfriend. I looked right into my brother, Ryker Morgan right in the eyes and then looked to the next boy. I met eyes with Zachary Goode, the only guy more popular than Ryker, he is a mechanic at his father's garage on Grayson Street, and is a senior, I gave him the Morgan glare and he used his award winning evil smirk to mask his discomfort. I then looked at Jonas Anderson, a guy that I once rusted as much as Liz, we were the happiest trio in our school until they decided to become more popular and well know, which wasn't hard because of their flashy clothes and my plain ones which happened to make theirs stand out even more. I the last person I looked in the eyes was Grant Newman, a boy that I have hated since the beginning. He changed Bex and I have hated him for it for 8 years and now I don't feel so bad because I have learned more in the last 45 minutes, on the bus and in front of school, than I have in my 16 years of life. I know that Jonas is the weakest because he hides behind the muscle his family can buy for him. I also know that Zachary and Grant are some of the strongest people I have ever known, but I knew that Zach is weakest when it comes to his full name. I am also one of the few students who knows his actual last name and that he is related to the most hated member of the Senate, where as Macey's father is the most well liked Senator. I walked right for the little gap between them and they got in the way. I said "You have ten seconds to get out of the way." they just laughed so I started counting, "Fine,

Okay," I stated calmly then stood on my tip toes to be seen over the boys and blew my whistle that my dad gave me when I was little he said, "Cam you must always have this with you just in case, I could never stand to see my little girl hurt." I am very glad that I listened to him. They all covered their ears and I said "Everyone listen up I have a few things to say about these... 'charming'" in air quotes of course, "Fellows around me. First I would like to say if they let me get to my class I won't say it, but I will if they don't move." I looked at them and they looked at each other thinking is she serious? I continued to their surprise though, "You all know my pig of a senior brother Ryker, well I would just like the first one who sees Macey to tell her that he is cheating on her with-" and I hand Zach's hand over my mouth and he was dragging me into the janitors closet with the rest of the group following. I pretty much knew that my social or real life was over depending on who got their hands on me first, Ryker or Macey. I panicked and started thrashing and trying to yell for help as the whole student body watched me be dragged to my doom.
In the Closet
"Are you trying to get me to strangle you little punk?" Ryker said in a very not sarcastic way.
"No" I simply stated, "I am just trying to get to class so if you will excuse me I have to go." with that I headed for the door and stopped by Zach again. He shoved me and I fell back into the wall. When I did I heard something shatter too. It must have been a mirror because that is the only thing that is glass in this closet. I should know too, Jonathan the janitor lets me sit in here for an hour after school to do homework because I'm to scared to be at home with Ryker for too long. "Ow" I yelled and looked at my hand as it was the object that shattered the mirror. There was a long slash across the top of my hand and Jonas said, "You'll live."
I didn't argue, he should know his father is a surgeon. "Still hurts." I said in an angry tone. Then the door opened. It was Jonathan and I said, "Help Me!"
He gave my hand a look and said, "Ms. Morgan go get your hand looked at by the nurse and the rest of you go to the principal's office, I don't care if you're Queen Victoria, harming another student is unacceptable!" With that I ran out of the closet and to the nurse down the hall. I could hear him yelling at them as he took them to the principal's office down the hall in the other direction.
