"Hey um Keily you don't have to go to school if you don't want to." , Darry suggested. I could tell he was worried. " No Darry I will be fine. " I said. " Well what do you want for lunch today? " Johnny asked being a gentleman. " I think I want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich." I replied.

I got myself ready stuffing my bookbag with pencils and books. I had done all the homework from Monday and Friday yesterday at night. I was shaky today. I could still feel that warning sign as hard as I tried to ignore it. It still bugged me.

"Keily dear hurry up" , Two-Bit called. He had my lunch in his hand. We decided to walk to school instead of taking the bus. Randy, Bob , Jayden, and Jonah always take the bus. Two-Bit held my lunch in one hand and in other he held my hand. We walking down street like lovers. I felt calm with Two-Bit. I knew he will always be there to protect me.

" Keily J. who's the nicest to you in your house? I know their all mean but, who's the nicest? ," Two-Bit asked. I replied," Jayden is the nicest. I never really talk to him. He's not like Jonah who's always there to bully me."

"Have Jonah or Randy ever um hurt you? " , Two-Bit asked. " Duh you even know that." " No dear I mean have they ever hurt you more than just kicking and hitting." Two-Bit seem to notice I was shaky. " Do you mean as in rape or something close to the matter? " , I questioned Two-Bit to see if that's what he was talking about.

" Yeah I just couldn't get myself to say that word." I thought about for a few minutes before replying. " No no Two-Bit never. Now that you brought that up I'm thankful it has never happened." "Well we are here now bye Keily J." , Two-Bit than kissed me in my cheek and walked off to his locker.

I can't believe he even thought of something like that. That really worries me. Like what if they did and I just don't remember. I gave me the chills just to think about. I opened my locker door and looked at my new schedule. I heard in the news that every student in this town was getting new schedules because of budgets and something news is really not my interest.

I looked at schedule and then my eyes landed on geometry and science with Juniors is this school insane. I already had P.E. with the Seniors. I knew I would run into them but, I didn't to have class with Jonah or Jayden. Well I have geometry on Mondays,Wednesdays,and Fridays. I had science on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Great let me note to self to bring a switchblade to science.

So my first class, L.A. went smooth and well. I could tell that Johnny's teaching was helping me. Then came science.

" Hello " , Mrs. Tiernam began ," I see new faces and some old faces." I was sitting in the back the twins wouldn't see me. " Well class today you are going to get signed up with a partner."

Mrs. Tiernam looked around and then started to speak again ," Everyone will be working on something that has to do with chemistry. And here is the hat with names of your classmates. Let the girls go first. Megan?" A girl with black hair went to the front of the class.

" Pick out a name Megan." , Mrs. Tiernam instructed. Megan pick a piece of paper out. " Now read it.' Megan looked at the paper horrified," Danny Brooke." Mrs. Tiernam said," Great you guys will be doing a protect involving wet chemistry. Wet chemistry is a term used to refer to chemistry generally done in the liquid phase."

Megan and Danny sat down together." Okay let's keep going Keily?" , Mrs. Tiernam stated. I forced myself to stand and walk to my teacher. I didn't look at my classmates faces. I just stared at my teacher. I digged my hand deep in the hat. I picked a piece of paper and pulled it out. I noticed Johnny was in this class too when I looked up.

I looked at the paper blank for a minute. " Read it " , Mrs. Tiernam said. " Jonah Clay" , I said in a low voice. " Great Jonah come here please. You should consider yourself lucky. Jonah is the best student in my class."

" Well you guys are doing theoretical chemistry. Theoretical chemistry involves the use of physics to explain or predict chemical phenomena. " Jonah grabbed my wrist and almost dragged me to a sit next to him. Johnny caught partnered up with Theresa Hope a great friend of mine and yes hope was her last name. After the partner ceremony. Jonah unexpectedly put his hand in between my legs. I felt awful almost about to puke.

I wanted to scream but, I knew I would get beaten up by the Socs if I did. Jonah kept playing with zipper. I want to almost attack him.I still had my switchblade. the second the bell rang , I ran out of there.I told Two-Bit and the rest of the gang. They told me I wasn't going to school tomorrow and that they would beat Jonah a## tomorrow.

I giggled to the fact of wanting to see Two-Bit beat up Jonah. Jonah might be a year younger than Two-Bit. But Jonah is 6'3" and Two-Bit is only 5'11" thought he claims he's taller. I just don't understand my family anymore but I can feel something really bad in my future. Will that feeling ever stop bugging me?
