When I woke up Tuesday morning, I got a text from Michael.

"Meet me behind the school before clubs. I wanna talk."

Throughout the whole I day, I wondered what he wanted to talk about. Maybe her wanted another get together? No, he would have asked that in the text. Maybe he wants to ask me to be his girlfriend! I doubt he would, but there was no other logical explanation.

To save myself from embarrassment, I didn't tell the others I was going to see him. Instead, I told them I had to help the librarian with the books since the library was around that area.

When class was over, I ran to the back of the school as fast as I could. I got there really fast and no one was in sight. I leaned back against the wall and tried to catch my breath.

"Expecting someone?" I heard from the other side of the wall. I felt my heart sank as three girls walked in front of me.

"Emily? Riley? Violet? What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Are you stupid? We're the ones who invited you," Emily said. She held out a black phone that belonged to Michael.

"How did you get that?!" I yelled. Violet put her hand over my mouth.

"Shh, darling. You don't want to get hurt, do you?" she said.

"Let's say he dropped it," Riley said.

"But he's not getting it anytime soon," Emily said and the girls started laughing.

I felt anger well up inside me and I bit Violet's hand as hard as I could and she let go. "What did you do to him?!" I yelled.

"Oh, don't worry, he's fine!" Emily said and her hand slapped me face.

"He's better condition than you are!" Riley yelled and kicked me in the center of my stomach like there was a bulls-eye on it. The force pushed me to the wall and I slid down to the ground. Violet grabbed and handful of my hair and pulled me up.

"You're too delicate," she said and pushed me head into the wall. I could feel blood trickling down the side of my face and tears started to fall.

"Aw, she's crying. We were only warming up," Emily said and punched me.

"What are you guys doing?" someone asked. The girls looked a bit scared and I looked in the direction of the voice to see Michael standing a few feet away, looking exhausted and gasping for breath.

"Run!" Emily said and they all ran away. I lay on the ground and cried. Michael ran to me and I hugged him like he was about to disappear forever.

"What did they do to you?" he asked and cupped my face in his hands.

"They stole your phone," I said in between sobs.

"I don't care about that. I only care about you!" he said and hugged me again. My chest suddenly tightened and I wrapped my arms around him.

Michael stood up and carried me bridal style to the hostess club. He kicked open the door and everyone was standing in the center of the room shaking and on the verge of tears. Michael let me stand, but I had to hold onto him for support.

"Hannah!" everyone shouted and ran to hug me, crying.

Author's Note

The bullies are back and badder than ever. I feel bad writing about Hannah getting beaten up, but I just love adding a touch of violence to my stories. The next chapter will be revenge.

I'm awesome at singing: That was a good guess! That reminds me I need to write a chapter about that...^_^

Until next time, sayonara~!
