Hey everyone! I'm back with another chapter. Sorry I haven't been active lately, but you know school things to deal with. Anyway, here's another chapter. Hope your enjoying the story so far.
"Sophia Ray Dinoco!" A loud and angry voice rang through the hall. It was just the beginning of the second block and all the students were transferring to their classes. Sophia was with Vivian and Clio. The three friends were on their way to their own class when Nellie's voice made them jump.
"Stop Nellie! I've had enough of your nonsense. It's not fair that we're always getting picked on by you. We did nothing wrong to you, and all your doing is picking on us for no reason!"
"Sophia's right Nellie." Vivian chimed in, "You have no right to pick on us. You need to stop picking on other students, and realize your own mistakes. Now leave!"
Nellie scowled, and shot Sophia an angry glare. She left and went to her own class, leaving the three friends annoyed. Sophia knew none of it was her fault. Nellie was just being a brat, and never wanted to admit her own mistakes. Sophia just shook her front with disapproval.
"Don't get upset by her." Clio replied, "She's just jealous of you because your dad is successful, and her dad isn't. It happens all the time."
"I'm not. I just wished she would stop bothering me. It's getting annoying now. I keep telling my dad it's not me, but he doesn't believe me."
"Well, maybe the principal will tell him what's really going on. She knows you didn't do anything."
"She tells him what happens between me and Nellie." Sophia replied. "Why do you think she has us come in her office whenever an incident happens?"
"Well maybe your dad will call."
"Who knows." Sophia replied. "Come on, we have a class to get to."
As the day continued, Nellie would try any move she could to annoy Sophia. However, her friends were always there when it happened. The principal had notified Tex of any incident she had witnessed. She had told him everything, and how none of it was Sophia's fault. When classes were over for the day, Sophia's cellphone rang. She prepared herself for the worst.
"Hello?"
"Sophia, I need you home." Tex replied.
"For what?"
"Just head for home, now." And with that, Tex ended the call.
Clio approached Sophia. Clearly she knew what the call must've been about.
"I'll go with you."
"Thanks."
Vivian came over as well. "I'll also come as well."
"Thanks guys. I'd appreciate that." Sophia replied.
As the three friends made their way toward Sophia's home, they had met up with Nellie.
"Well, look who's here." Nellie said. "If it isn't Sophia Dinoco."
Having enough of Nellie's attitude and behavior, Sophia was about to lunge for her, when a loud and angry voice rang out.
"Sophia! NO!" Tex came over to his daughter, and grabbed her before she could make another move. He shoved her away from Nellie and parked himself in front of her, while grasping her tire harshly.
"What were you thinking?!" Tex growled as he reigned in his anger, "You were about to go for her!"
"No I wasn't." Sophia argued, her voice carrying frustration.
"If I hadn't shown up I wouldn't have-"
"Sir, she wasn't gonna go!" Vivian replied, chiming into the conversation without even having a second thought.
"Yeah, she wasn't going to go. She was trying to ignore her." Clio said, pointing toward the direction Nellie was in.
"This doesn't concern you girls, and your lucky I didn't tell your parents you were out there and getting ready to fight against Nellie. You know your suppose to stay away from her."
"We're the ones staying away from her! She's the one going near us all the time!" Sophia replied, as she glanced at Nellie briefly, before turning around.
Tex stared sternly at the three cars in front of him. "Girls, we all told you to stay away from Nellie. You know that by now. No one should have to tell you to avoid her. If any of us catch you fighting with Nellie, you'll face serious consequences. That goes for you as well Sophia. I'm tired of having to repeat myself about you fighting with Nellie! Now everyone head home. And Sophia, your coming home with me."
The group had broken off and went home. Tex escorted Sophia back home before he would leave for the racing headquarters of Dinoco. Since he didn't trust Sophia to go home on her own, he took it upon himself to take her home, where he knew she could be watched on.
Sophia began to work on her assignments she had received while Kate prepared her dinner for her. Tex returned home later that night. When it came time for Sophia to go to sleep, Tex came into her room to see how she was doing.
"Sweetheart, it's late. Turn off the lights."
"Okay dad." Sophia closed her books and jumped into her bed. Tex covered her with the blanket that was on the end of her bed. He kissed her goodnight, and left the room.
Sorry this chapter is short somewhat. I was hoping it would be a little longer, but I couldn't think of anything else to add into this chapter, except for the fact that Sophia's friends are tired of Nellie's behavior at this point.
