The nurse comes back with a note in her hand. "Here you are Tori Vega," she says, "A note to get you out of class for the rest of the day. Make sure you go home and place some more ice on that before you go to the doctor, it will help with the swelling. I already called your parents so they should be here soon. You can go wait for them out front." I get up from off the table and walk out of the nurse's office. I remember I needed my my classical notebook, I turn and head to my locker. That's when I notice Beck walking down the hallway, my first thought was to avoid him and get my notebook later, my nose is still throbbing from the suckerpunch he gave me ealier today.
Right when I turn away from my locker, I saw a pair of scissors flying through the air, landing into the wall just barely missing Beck's ear. "What the-," Beck says. That's when Jade comes storming down the hallway with another pair of scissors in hand, they were extra sharp and as large as laptop. I try to leave but there is a part of me that wanted to make sure that Jade doesn't get out of control. I walk behind a wall, pace by pace, and turn around and watch Jade move closer and closer to Beck. Her hair was tied back into a ponytail, which is the first time I haven't seen her hair down, flowing around her face. She had on a black pair of sweatpants and a loose fitted shirt, that looks to be covered in blood. I wonder to myself how she manages to change clothes fast enough, while Beck inches his way into a wall.
"Jade, what are you doing?" He asks her.
"Did you honestly think I wouldn't find out?" Jade says. Beck's posture looks calm and collected, his back brushing up against the wall. He shakes his head ignoring Jade's threatening demeanor.
"Listen, Jade," Beck says. Within seconds, Jade shoves Beck into the wall. Beck drops his backpack that he had in his hand. "Jade, Jade," Beck says, "Calm down, let's just talk."
Jade places the huge scissors she had in her hands near his face. "Alright," she says, "Let's talk about how you punched out my girlfriend. She's blind thanks to you." Jade simmers out her mouth. I stand looking confused.
"Blind," Beck starts, "I doubt Tori's blind Jade, I mean." Jade moves the scissors closer to his face. "Alright, Jade. I actually wanted to talk to you about that. I wanted to say that I was sorry. I really am, I don't know what happened to me this morning but I felt like I wasn't even in my own body. I don't know, I'm just so so sorry."
"Sorry, won't fix Tori's broken nose." Jade says, moving the scissors to his face. I feel my heart sink as I run over to them.
"Jade stop," I yell. I get to her and yank the scissors out of her hand, dropping my bag of ice all over the floor. I throw the scissors away, out of sight from all of us. "Do you know what could have happened to you if you were caught threatening Beck like this?" I say to her.
Jade ignores me and focuses her attention to Beck. "Well don't you have something to say, all perfect Beck," She says. Beck looks at me, his eyes were sad, forlorn, hurt.
"Listen Tori," he begins, "I'm really sorry about this morning. I didn't to mean to hurt you. I was just so fill with rage and hurt that I didn't even bother to think about the consequences. No matter what you are still my friend, and I hope that you forgive me." He finishes, his eyes clouding up.
"Well that's still not good enough," Jade says. She whips out another pair of scissors from pants. I snatch them away from her before she does anything else stupid with them.
"I'm sorry too Beck," I say, "And I forgive you." Beck smiles only a little bit before his face returns to being sad.
"Well, I better get out of here before the principle has someone escort me out." Beck grabs his backpack and walks towards the door. Jade just rolls her eyes. I stand there feeling completely stupid and evil.
"Wait Beck," I say, "How long have you been suspended for? I could talk to the principle and have him reduce your punishment or something." Jade looks at me, shocked. Beck, feet planted into the ground, turns his body half-way.
"I wasn't suspened Tori," He says, "I was expelled." Now Jade and I both look at him, surprise.
"Beck," Jade calls. He shrugs his shoulders and continues to walk to the door. Jade keeps calling out his name, his voice getting louder and louder. He pretends not to listen and disappears from us. I fall to the floor, the bell rings and the hallway fills with people as my whole world fades to black.
