Fifty two
A/N: Hope you enjoy this chapter. I had difficulty writing it.
Summer's POV
We are back at school now and guess what... yep rumours have been spread about us and they are also teasing me because 'I can't fight'. It's so not fair but the teachers have found out about our fight and have kept all three of us in at lunch as well as Clara and her group so we can 'resolve our differences.' Yeah like that's going to happen. Thing is it means we are leaving Kitty all on her own as the boys have football practise. And I'm worried about her. She's vulnerable especially when she's on her own.
Nobody's POV
Kitty was sitting on the grassy bank near where the boys were playing football. She saw Rick, Kieran, Jack, Leo and Tyler all running up and down enjoying themselves. Alex and Luke were also there but they weren't enjoying themselves so much. She saw more than she felt some black boots crush the grass next to her. She looked up, into the eyes of Alexia. The one girl Kitty hated more than Clara was Alexia.
"oi, weirdo. Heard your mates are stuck in detention this lunch. So they are not here to protect you are they?" Alexia snarled. Kitty closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes Alexia was leaning in close to her. Kitty leaned back before standing up. Alexia is 6ft 5 inches and Kitty is 5ft 7 inches so Alexia towered over her even when Kitty was standing up. She turned to walk away but Alexia grabbed her arm and held her back. Kitty tried to pull her arm away but Alexia was gripping her too hard. Kitty started crying and finally managed to pull her arm away but in doing so she hit Alexia in the face. Kitty tumbled to the floor from the force she'd been pulling with. Alexia stepped forward so her legs were either side of Kitty's waist. "You so didn't want to do that," Alexia told her threateningly. Alexia clenched her wrist and punched her. She kicked and punched and battered her until she was bruised and hurting all over. Kitty was crying uncontrollably by this time. "oh such a cry baby aren't you," Alexia taunted. Kitty couldn't take it anymore and lashed out. She scratched at Alexia's face and pushed her off her. She kicked out and punched her just as violently. Alexia grew angrier and pulled out a penknife she kept in her pocket. She flicked it open and cautiously brushed her blade against Kitty's wrist knowing it would slit her wrist.
Summer's POV
We were finally allowed out with fifteen minutes left of lunch. I knew where Kitty would be so all three of us made our way towards the football pitches and the bank nearby. I knew the moment I rounded the corner that something was wrong. Kitty was laying on the floor with Alexia standing over her. All seven of the Burnywood boys who had been playing football were also running towards her leaving the football coach screaming at them. I glanced at Sadie and Mia before dashing towards Kitty. I beat the boys to her and soon Alexia was fleeing from Kitty. I quickly glanced at her and saw her wrist were bleeding freely. Now I'm scared of blood and faint at the sight of it so seeing Kitty's wrists bleeding wasn't helping me. I took my school jumper off and ripped it up before tying it tightly several times around her wrists to stop the bleeding. I then inspected the rest of her too see if there was any more serious damage done. As far as I could see there wasn't. Miss Jones was running towards them with Tyler and Leo close behind her. The football coach was also making his way towards them.
"What happened?" Miss Jones asked. I shrugged.
"I don't know all I know is Alexia was here when we got out of detention," I explained. The football coach was about to start shouting at the boys when he saw Kitty on the floor. He tried to help her up but she moved away. "Kitty you have to get up so we can help you," I told her gently. She stood up and shivered. She was still crying as all of them took her inside.
Miss Jones bandaged her wrists tightly once inside while the other Burnywood kids tried to comfort Kitty. Eventually her breathing steadied and she stopped crying. We sat with her until the end of the school day before accompanying her out. Even Tyler was subdued and didn't try to play any tricks on anyone.
