School is school, and it means boring people into a coma! I swear I almost fell asleep in every class, and that isn't a lie. I saw Holly J in the hall a couple of times, but I really tried to ignore her. She threw a couple of Loho's in there, but, whatever. At lunch I really didn't know who to sit by. My friends? Or my new boyfriend? I followed Derek, who was going to sit by Danny, Leia, Sav, Anya, and lastly, Holly J. I didn't make eye contact with any of them. I just stared at my plate, taking a bite here and there. I finally got the courage to look around the cafeteria. My friends were staring at me.

"So, Loho, I've heard a rumor about you." Holly J said. I didn't even give her a glance at her. I just sighed, and looked at my plate again. "Hello? You got a brain in there?" She threw a grape at my head.

"You know I'm not responding to that horrible nick name." I stated, still having a stare-down with my food.

"Oh, so you want a different name? That can be done." She replied.

"No I would not." I again, stated.

"Then what do you want?"

"For you to stop picking on me. Last time I heard, you were in grade 11, not a preschooler, in a sandbox." I gave a death glare to Holly J.

"Whatever. Ok, on with the rumor. I heard that you went to the ravine and you got drunk out of your mind, and you and Reese, well, did it." Holly J said, well, almost yelled. I sat there, astonished. I saw Reese looking at me, with anger. The same anger when he hurt me. I glanced at Derek. I really couldn't make out what his face meant. He wasn't even looking at me though. He was shooting daggers with his eyes to Reese. I gazed at the other people at the table. They were all just staring at me.

I finally opened my mouth. "1- how do you know all of this? And 2- only half of that was true." I stuttered so bad that I don't know if anyone could understand me.

"Let's just say that I have ways." She responded.

"Holly J, stop." Anya butted in.

"Yeah, this is really getting out of hand." Sav added.

"Why should I? Really, she's got to learn somehow." Holly J said. Gosh, I really wanted to cry right now. "So, now you're a drunkie like your mom?" She added. My heart literally stopped. I got up from the table and ran to the washroom. I locked myself in the stall and cried. How could she do this? I wasn't my mom. My mom doesn't care what I do. And, I really didn't want to go back to my drunken days. See, before we moved, I would hit some parties and drink. I really don't remember why I did it. I think it was just for the popularity. I heard someone knock on the stall door.

"Are you ok in there?" I heard Leia say, on the other side of the door.

"I'm fine." I lied.

"It doesn't sound like you are fine. Why don't you just come out and talk to me. Talking is better to do than cry." She comforted. I slowly undid the lock. I tried to dry my tears.

"Listen, Holly J is mean. Don't try to get revenge. Alli tried and Holly J's parents called the cops. Just confront her and tell her your problems. She might not listen, but it's worth the try." She explained.

"Thank you." I said as I hugged her. "Well, I think I better get to class now." She nodded and I left the bathroom. I was given dirty looks and stares through the hallway. I got to my locker, but only to have someone turn me around, and push me into the locker beside me. "What the heck!" I screamed. It was Reese.

"You told her." He stated.

"No I didn't, I have no idea how she figured that out. Go ask Bruce or something." I suggested.

"No one's supposed to know about us." He pushed harder on my elbows. I thought they were going to warp into the locker.

"Let me go, and go talk to Bruce." I said.

"Not until you confess that you told Holly J."

"Just calm down, I don't care if you talk to Bruce or whatever. Just, please, let me go."

"No." He whispered.

"She said to let her go. Now, if you would have ears, you would understand words." Derek said, walking down the hall. He pushed Reese off of me and into the lockers straight in front of me. I was afraid of what might happen next. I rushed over to them.

"Not here, not now, ok?" I negotiated.

"Ok then, 4 o'clock…" I stopped listening. I really hated them acting like this. It hurt me emotionally. I've only been here a week, my gosh. I turned around and opened my locker. I really wanted to slam my head against it, but, I refrained. I just went on to my class and tried to clear my head.

~~**After school**~~

I kind of didn't want to wait for Derek. I have no idea why, but I listened to my heart and waited on the steps for him. Whoa! I have cramps! Well, it is around "that time of the month". Oh gosh, I wasn't even thinking about the devil, but she's strutting towards me. She sat beside me.

"Just so you know, I got the rumor from Johnny." She stated.

"You know what Holly J? Is something wrong with your family that you have to take out all of your anger onto innocent people like me or Alli? I was in your place at my old school."

"Yeah, but you are only in grade 9." She interrupted.

"No, Holly J. Listen to me. You don't care about other people feelings." I stood up. "And, you love being in the limelight. That's why you dare yourself to torture people. People like me who have screwed up lives, and try the best they can to make it through the day. I've been to 3 schools in 2 years. In one of those schools, there was a girl named Jenna. She used to beat people up. Even me, for a while. I was one of the stronger ones to stand up to her. She stopped, because I was yelling at her, just as I am to you now. So Holly J, knock it off. No one wants to hear you emotionally hurt people. Or blackmail them." I screamed. I know that everyone was staring, but I really didn't care. Holly J just ran off toward her car. I was surrounded with pats on the back and a round of applauses. Did I really just stand up against Holly J? Oh my, this is going to be a long semester.

That's the end of that chapter!! Ok, I need 2 names, a boy and a girl. (I'm not telling you what for! You'll get a surprise!!) And, I also need some dog names. Like a great dane. And for the guy and girl's names, they need to be kind of original but not too overused.
