Another day of classes had come. Sophia was packing up her books for all of the classes she was going to have. She was expecting to meet Clio, reguarding their essay for history. It was almost done and the two friends had spent the entire night finishing it. But, their teacher was expecting them to explain each paragraph. That was why they were going to meet and talk about it.

When Sophia arrived at the school, she went to grab some breakfast and hurried off to her locker. Clio wouldn't arrive until a few minutes later, so Sophia would be able to eat her breakfast. While she ate, Sophia began to ponder through her life. From when she was a baby till now. It just seemed like yesterday she was an adorable little baby and now she was climbing through the ropes of high school. Her father was making many changes and there were times where he wouldn't be able to spend time with her. It was a way he would distract himself following the death of his wife. As Sophia finished the last few spoonfuls of her food, Clio came.

"Hey Clio."

"Hey Sophia. How'd you study for our test today?"

"I think I know everything. As usual, I always get a high grade."

"True. Vivian might be running late. She said something happened at her house. So, she'll be coming in later."

"What happened?"

"Dunno. Something to do with the roads I guess."

"Yeah, true."

In no time, the bell rang for all classes to start. The first two classes went by in a blur. Soon, lunch came. Sophia went to where all of her friends were. However, things were about to get worse.

"There she is!" A familiar voice shouted. Sophia turned around, carrying a low and angry growl in her. She was clearly seething.

Clio rolled her eyes. "What do you want Nellie?"

"I'm here because I'm still mad about what your father did to my dad. It's just not fair."

This time, it was Sophia's turn to roll her eyes.

"I don't care what you say Nellie. It's done and over with. Stop coming to me and complain about it, because there's nothing I can do about it. My dad will not want your dad to work for him anymore." And with that, Sophia turned and headed to the cafeteria kitchen to get her lunch.

Clio and Vivian were in line to get their lunch. Sophia joined them. Once they got their meals, they headed to a table where all of their other friends were. However, things were going to be tense. Nellie had followed Sophia to her lunch table, and immediately threw her food on her. And then, it turned into chaos. Fighting began to erupt and food went flying all over the cafeteria. Nellie had Sophia down, while she was being covered in food. Immediately, the principal came into the cafeteria. Her mouth dropped in shock, as she watched the chaos before her. She saw Sophia being held down and went over to the table. She placed herself in between the two girls, while Sophia was pulled back by her friends. Her engine softly purred with rage.

"What is going on here?" The principal demanded to know as she finished taking care of the two cars.

"Sophia was tormenting me?" Nellie replied.

"No I wasn't. You were following me." Sophia replied.

"Did not!" Nellie snapped.

The principal blasted her horn. "Alright alright. That's enough of this nonsense! Nellie, my office now! Clio, please help Sophia clean off the mess on her, and then I want the rest of you girls to meet me in my office as well."

"Yes ma'am." Clio replied.

Within minutes, Sophia was back to her normal paint job. All the food had been washed off of her. Clio and the rest of their friends went with Sophia to meet with the principal. She was parked at a conference table, facing Nellie, who was parked on the opposite side.

"Why would you do this to her?" Clio asked, her voice purring with rage.

"I did nothing wrong. All of you are lying." Nellie replied, her voice carrying fake innocence. Vivian scowled, while Sophia's engine purred with terror and anger.

"I didn't do anything wrong." Nellie said to the principal.

"That's enough of your nonsense Nellie, and I mean personal nonsense that has to do with Sophia. I'm tired of you picking on other cars, especially Sophia. It's not fair for her to have to endure with your nonsense everyday. She isn't doing these horrible things to you at all. I know her father well, and I know that she's kind."

"That doesn't mean anything!" Nellie snapped.

"It doesn't matter. You know your not suppose to pick on anyone. That's one of the most important rules here at Los Angeles Academy. You have been given several warnings and you still refuse to listen to them. As a severe punishment, you'll be facing 2 detentions, and 1 week of suspension. I'm calling your father and letting him know about this. Leave now."

Without saying another word, Nellie slammed the door of the principal's office shut. Clio, Vivian, Sophia, and Skylar rolled their eyes. It was clear they couldn't stand Nellie at all. She was just too much of a spoiled brat. Then again, Clayton had the same personality as her, so it was no surprise that Nellie was behaving this way.

"AS for you Sophia, I'm going to have to call your dad as well. He has to know what happened. Now, I know you didn't do anything, but it's my job to inform parents when something like this happens."

"Yes ma'am. I know." Sophia replied.

"Good. You may return to your classes."

As soon as the girls left the office, the principal notified Tex of the incident. He wasn't happy and would have to speak to Sophia once she got home.

When the bell rang to end the last class of the day, Sophia went to her locker to unpack her books. She had finished packing up, when Clio came over to her.

"Hey Sophia, we're going to a nearby cafe. Want to come?"

"Sure."

"Will your dad mind?"

"No. He's too busy anyway. Besides, it'll only be for a little while, so I don't see why he can't let me go."

"We're leaving in a few minutes. Vivian had to talk to one of her teachers. We're meeting her in the cafeteria."

"Okay. We can wait." Sophia replied. She glanced at her cellphone, realizing she had a missed call from her father.

"Sorry, one second." Sophia left her group and went into a corner to return the call. A few rings went through before Tex answered.

"Hello?"

"Dad, did you call me?"

"Yes, I did. I need you home now. We have to talk."

"About what?"

"I'll explain when you get home."

"I was going to go out with some of my friends."

"Make it for another day." And with that, Tex hung up the phone.

"What was that about?" Vivian asked.

"I have to go home. My dad wants to talk to me."

"Same with mine." Clio replied, as she drove toward her friends.

"Let me guess, does it have to do with Nellie?"

"Probably."

"That's so ridiculous."

"I know. But, I'd better go. My dad will get upset."

"I'll leave with you." Clio replied.

"Okay. Let's go."

When Sophia arrived home after dropping Clio off at her home, she entered her house and saw her father waiting for her. Kate was there as well. Clearly she knew what was coming. Tex tapped his tire crossly. "This is the second time I received a phone call from the school Sophia. You know we discussed this issue already. I don't understand, what is the issue?"

"Dad, it's not me. Honestly, I swear."

Tex sighed. "Sophia, I'm not going to say it again. You need to stay away from Nellie. Seriously, it's getting to the point where I might have to transfer you to another school. If you can't control yourself, then I'll have no choice but to take you out. Is that clear?"

"I'm sorry dad. I promise, it won't happen again."

"It had better not. For your sake." And with that, Tex turned around and went to finish more paperwork. Thoroughly humble and trained, Sophia wen to her room and began her studies and homework.

Sorry I haven't been updating any stories lately. High school stuff is in the way again, but I hope your still enjoying them. Also I guess it's also time to explain why I haven't been updating my stories that much, except for the fact I have school work and studies I'm taking care of. So a few months ago, I joined Deviant Art. This is a way where I'm beginning to post my artwork publicly, not just on Instagram, and it's also helping me improve my artwork and sharing my other interest with others. So, I've been doing that as well. If you have Deviant Art, you can simply add me on there. My username is TheBananaChild. Don't worry, I'm not leaving FanFiction, I just want to focus on drawing as well.
