The short female grimanced as she read the letter from her brother

Sis,

I'm sorry to tell you this but I got demoted and lost the money for your schooling. Don't worry, I got the school to cover it. You know, being in the Armanda and all. Keep up the good work and stay out of trouble.

Love Saph.

That was all she needed. Tears were brimming in her eyes but she could let no one see her cry. She was already bullied enough at this school for being short and nerdy. She could fight and all, but she'd get suspended and the offenders got off scot free.

"Well what do we have here?" A familiarly annoying voice chiped. Amber Gold. It had to be her, of all people at a time like this. Amber snootily read through Saphir's scrawled letter."Huh, I knew your loser brother would screw up, 'cause it runs in the family!"

She snatched the letter from the smaller girl and ran off to spread the word. Before long the whole school knew. They knew she was not only a midget and a nerd but POOR too. They snicker about her wheter she was in earshot or nah. One person decided to mock her to her face. Big mistake.

Emerald and his group saunterd over to Manika's locker.

"Hey, Mini-Mani," Emerald taunted. "Heard your boy got kicked out of school. Cause we set him up," Manika's fist clenched. Number one, Olivin was not her beau, no matter how much she wanted it to be. Number two, how dare they frame someone as pure as him?

"You know what else I heard? If your income rate was your IQ and height, you'd be a stupid midgit!" His friends howled as if it were the funniest joke in the world.

"Ya know what I heard Emerald? You and your pals just got an all expense paid trip to the hospital" And with that she lunged at him. Ok now heres the violent part please skip if you don't like

She dove her leg into Emerald's manhood so deep she dislocated his hip bones. He fell to the ground in pain. Sugilite, seeing this charged towards Manika. She swiftly dodged , leading for Sugilite to bash his skull into the metal lockers. *CRUUUUUUUNNNNNCCCH!* A few students nearby ground in displeasure. They started cheering for Alexander and Amyethyst to destroy Manika.

"Finish her!"

"Kill her"

"Murder her!"

"Curse that midgit and all her poor reject family!"

"She brings shame to all of Rockwell High!"

Alexander, feeling enviorated by the ego booster, held Manika in a headlock. The students cheered. Manika however used this to temporary stun Alexander with a pinch to the nerve cluster. Amyethst started throwing random punches. Manika blocked them and grabbed his fist so hard every knuckle shifted painfully. She the proceeded to twist Amythyst's arm around and around. He shrieked in pain. She twisted and twisted and twisted. The final bully fell to the ground. The students booed her.

"She cheated!"

"Look how badly she hurt them"

"Principal Stone would like to see this"

"No need. I heard it all from Amber." The blond in question held up a smug look on her face.

"I-I saw Manika attacking these poor boys just for comforting her about her brother's demotion." Amber lied through her teeth. She even had fake tears running down her face.

"Ok, one, they were making fun of me. Two, no one would know about that if Amber hadn't been pokng her nose in my buisness. Three, it's four boys against one girl! The odds were clearly not in my favor!" Manika shot back.

"Naw, we saw what happend. I even took a video of it" One boy in background butted in. The video only showed Manika fighting, not the boys picking on her.

"Manika, in my office. NOW!" Manika dragged her feet down to dreaded principal's office. Several students trailed behind, jeering as she went. Amber never looked happier.
