p dir="ltr"Midnight smiles, giving London a knuckle sandwhich. She took off, opting to stay the night where she could only dream up. She promised to meet up with London on school campus to show him around./p
p dir="ltr"London wore white sneakers with dark blue jeans. He chose a light pink pastel knit sweater to show off his scrawny-unhealthy body. He perked up as she came into view. He didn't feel so misplaced./p
p dir="ltr""Night, you better hide!" Colt shouts, jogging up to her. His Baby is following his lead near out of breath./p
p dir="ltr""Why?" Midnight thinks Samuel maybe scouring the high school for her./p
p dir="ltr""Birdie and Erica have returned!" Baby angrily replies. She isn't angry at Midnight, but she's angry criminals get to walk./p
p dir="ltr"Midnight is tense. She holds tight to her backpack. She glares down at the skirt she chose to wear for school the previous night. "WHY?!"/p
p dir="ltr""Who are they?" London asks, flinching upon her screech./p
p dir="ltr""Two girls you need to stay clear of. Those fruitcakes are dangerous!" Midnight grows protective of the boy, wrapping him into her arms./p
p dir="ltr""I'm Colt. This is Baby." Colt breathes, jabbing a thumb in her direction./p
p dir="ltr""London Sinclair or Wit." Midnight replies, motioning to the boy./p
p dir="ltr""Oh, there you arestrong! /strongNone of us can afford to panic. If they see us as weak those girls will pounce." Rocky shouts, bending over to place his hands on his knees. The blonde boy was out of breath. /p
p dir="ltr"London took in all four faces in his vision. He sent the other boy around his age a soft smile. He sticks his hands toward the yellow wearing boy, "I'm London."/p
p dir="ltr""My new brother." Midnight replies then adds, "his nickname is Wit. Courtesy of me."/p
p dir="ltr""Yeah, well, you may want to-" Rocky went on to make a suggestion when London interrupted./p
p dir="ltr"Tum Tum had grown shy, keeping his gaze on the ground. The last boy he befriended only kissed him and never spoke to him after the fact. Was it all just one emgiant /emsetup by Birdie?/p
p dir="ltr""Are all your coats made by Midnight?" London rose an eyebrow, taking in the hand knitted craftmanship./p
p dir="ltr"All them were sporting their signature gifts from the blue Midnight./p
p dir="ltr""Yep!" Colt chirps, shooting them both a small smile./p
p dir="ltr"Midnight is frowning. How to get a target off your back? She profusely apologized to the group of other teens, "You should probably ditch those coats then. She may be gunning for all our heads. I shouldn't be seen with you guys. I'm sorry."/p
p dir="ltr""What? You're ditching us for the hundredth time?!" Baby asks in an outrage./p
p dir="ltr"Midnight had readied herself to scurry into the school when Rocky tugged on her. "I can't be seen with you guys! Do you really want to suffer the aftermath? I'm bad luck, bad news, bad juju, etc. You name it."/p
p dir="ltr""You forget Night, we're ninjas. Our grandfather taught us how to defend ourselves. We can take care of ourselves." Rocky has a smirk in his eyes, laced into confidence. A light smile played on his lips./p
p dir="ltr"As for the others, they were all nodding except for a curious London./p
p dir="ltr""You can't beat up a girl!" Midnight says, shaking her head./p
p dir="ltr""Who said we had to? We don't have to take it either. We can block the crazy bitches and pin their arms if we have to." Colt spoke, releasing a cuss word into the atmosphere. Honestly, the word left his lips by accident./p
p dir="ltr""Colt!" Rocky scolds, loosening his grip on Midnight./p
p dir="ltr"Baby raises her eyebrows at him./p
p dir="ltr"London snickers, having barely took notice of the yellow clad boy standing inches beside him. His eyes lit up with a mixture of pride and happiness./p
p dir="ltr"•••/p
p dir="ltr"Midnight finds solace in the outdoors during lunch. She chose to stay with the group strongduring /strongbreakfast, forcing herself to avoid them during lunch./p
p dir="ltr""There you are!" An annoyed Birdie shouted, spotting Midnight by her lonesome./p
p dir="ltr"A hint of fear, lacing into nausea made itself known in the pit of her stomach./p
p dir="ltr"strongMidnight /strongmoved like lightning. Her food went to the trash she climbed the schoolyard fence, landing swiftly on the other side./p
p dir="ltr"Birdie chases after the girl along with Erica./p
p dir="ltr"Midnight feels a tug, rip her scalp. She whimpers like the coward she is. A quiver starts at the bottom of her lip as Birdie violently tugs her around. "Drop it!"/p
p dir="ltr""I didn't get to touch you good, emNight/em. This will help you prepare for your first time." Birdie angrily grips the waistband of Midnight's skirt. She wants to do more than sexually finger the girl- she wants to break her life the bitch she is./p
p dir="ltr"Erica clears her throat. "Try behind the tree! Wouldn't want onlookers."/p
p dir="ltr""You keep look out." Birdie calls, pinning Midnight up against the tree. Her fingers lightly graze Midnight's abdomen./p
p dir="ltr"Midnight is wondering if the crazy chick has the knife or not. If only she could fight then this strongmight /strongbe a different tale. She shoves Birdie off of her, recieving a growl from her./p
p dir="ltr""Get off, you strongdisgusting /strongfreakem! /emI'm not into girlsem!/em" Midnight shouts, tears were steaming down her cheeks./p
p dir="ltr""Shut up whore you don't fight!" Birdie growls, getting up. She chimes in for the throat yet Midnight is slicker./p
p dir="ltr"Midnight rolls, ducks, and ends up knocking Erica onto the ground./p
p dir="ltr"Erica attaches her arms to Midnight with Birdie hitting the girl in the back./p
p dir="ltr"Midnight feels blood come up into her lungs. She tries to fight the bitches off, but she can't. A scream rips from her lips, echoing into some of the school. "I'm not a whore!"/p
p dir="ltr"Birdie is tackled to the ground./p
p dir="ltr"Moonlight has her fingernails on the short girl's eyes. She saw the two toying with Midnight, citing it as bad news. So she sought out Rocky who was quick to jump along with Barbie and Sasha./p
p dir="ltr"Speaking of blondes, Rocky helped Midnight up off the other girl- trying to scratch up her arms./p
p dir="ltr"Erica angrily sits up, ready to lunge herself at the two when Barbie allows her fist to collide with her jawline./p
p dir="ltr""Light, DO not scratch her eyes out!" Rocky calls, keeping his hands on Midnight. He wanted to make sure she was alright. His eyes rushed to the tawny golden girl who sighs./p
p dir="ltr""You have to ruin my fun?" Moonlight says, knocking Birdie unconscious./p
p dir="ltr""I sent Sasha to-" Barbie went to speak until a new voice chimed in./p
p dir="ltr""Well, congratulations, Midnight! You've earned your friends including yourself a month of detention. First, it's sneaking off to see a guy I forbade you to. Now, this! What have you to say for yourself?" Samuel Sinclair came into view, seeing the depiction of violence./p
p dir="ltr"Sasha looks to be out of breath. "It's. Not. Her fault."/p
p dir="ltr""Oh, so you allow sexual assault on campus while allowing the students who done it to return? What kind of good principal does that?" Rocky seethes; furious at the man and himself./p
p dir="ltr""Young man, you don't understand. We have laws we have to follow. We're investigating the matter." Samuel informs the blonde boy, growing concerned for what he missed. Did something happen to Midnight she wouldn't reveal to him?/p
p dir="ltr"Midnight has her gaze on the ground. She long gave up fighting while relaxing into the soothing grip of Rocky. She saw no point in arguing anymore./p
p dir="ltr"Rocky rolls his eyes, wishing he could do something about it. He was wondering if there was away around the school's injustice public system./p
p dir="ltr""Well, you better do something!" Moonlight spits, walking over to jab a finger into his chest./p
p dir="ltr""Yeah, because us females won't stand by while you rich, white pigs get away with sexualizing us then harming us for what we choose to wear. How would you feel if it were done to you, sir?" Barbie angrily retaliates. She was proving to be a true friend so was Sasha./p
p dir="ltr"Samuel is taken aback. What to say to her strong words? "Miss Celeste Harper-"/p
p dir="ltr""You aren't special, Samuel. Get over it, grow upem!/em" Midnight tears from Rocky's grip as she storms off into the school. She was so ready to ditch the prison, sucking all the life from her./p
