After a quick conversation with the rest of them, they decided to come with us, so we went out into the corridors. Bender led the way to his locker and Princess wouldn't shut up, so I just ignore her and continue walking falling back next to the nameless girl.

"Hi! I didn't get a chance to introduce myself, I'm Gabrielle, or Gabby if you wish."

She seemed to hesitate but finally answered

"I'm Allison"

"I think I saw you drawing earlier?"

With that, we began to talk for the rest of the way to John's locker which we arrived soon enough

"Slob!" the jock exclaimed.

"My maid's on vacation." retorted Bender.

"It's still better than your room." Whispered Brian jokingly in my ear. I elbowed him in the stomach and he mock glared at me. "Such violence!" I only smirked back at him

He then opened his locker and took his marijuana out of many, many paper bags. Brian was freaking out, but I quickly calmed him saying that it was John's decision and that if he didn't want to try, I wouldn't force him (I would try but I wouldn't force him).

After that, we left to go back to the library, but Vernon was there, so we all started running around, trying to escape him but it seemed like everywhere we went, there was the vice-principal.

I was beginning to freak out badly.

"Wait, wait! Hold it, hold it! We have to go through the cafeteria!" John exclaimed.

"No, the activity hall!" argued Sporto.

"Yo, dude, you don't know what you're talking about!" He yelled angrily.

"No, you don't know what you're talking about! Now, we're through listening to you, we're going this way." said Andrew before leaving with Claire and Brian.

I rolled my eyes and shot a look to Bender and Allison who both shrugged and began to catch up with the others.

We began running but an iron gate quickly blocked our path.

"Shit!" yelled Andrew angrily.

"Great idea, Jag off!" Bender commented.

"Fuck you!" Sporto replied.

"No, fuck you! Why didn't you listen to John!" Yelled the Princess, to which I rolled my eyes.

"We're dead!" cried out Brian, freaking out and ignoring the argument.

Bender looked at all of us before speaking up. "No, just me."

"Wait, what? John, no!" I exclaimed.

He quickly turned to me, took my head and kissed me. I immediately kissed back and began to melt into the kiss, not wanting to let him go but too soon, he stopped.

"Don't worry, Alice." He told me quietly "Get back to the library, keep your unit on this and keep her safe!" he said, putting his drugs in Brian's pants. "And brain? Sorry for what I said about your family."

If the situation wasn't such a close one, I would have laughed at Brian's face but I only beamed at John who returned a wink before he started running while singing. Brian took my arm and started running back to the library with the others. Once we arrived, I sat at my place in silence. Brian sat next to me and smirked.

"What was that?" he asked teasingly, and I smiled at him.

"I don't know. But I intend to find out."

"Ok, but if he hurts you, I will set his locker on fire." He warned me and I laughed at the ridiculousness of the situation.

"And I will fix his face." Added Andy having heard our discussion before ruffling my hair.

I smiled thankfully at him, shaking my head. Claire seemed to glare and roll her eyes at me, but I couldn't care less right now. I was trying not to smile.

Not long after, John entered the library pushed by Vernon and I had to do everything to stay quiet. How did this… man keep his job if he manhandled students that way?

"Get your stuff! Let's go!" Vernon exclaimed angrily. "Mr. Wiseguy here has taken it upon himself to go to the gymnasium. I'm sorry to inform you, you're going to be without his services for the rest of the day." he added, speaking to all of us.

"B-O-O H-O-O!" spelled John.

"Everything's a big joke, huh, Bender?" questioned Vernon before continuing talking. "The false alarm you pulled, Friday, false alarms are really funny, aren't they..."

No, false alarms aren't funny. And I believe that John doesn't think they are. If I had to guess I would say that they were a lifeline. If he pulled the alarm, he didn't have to be home on Saturday, that would be one day away from his father.

"What if your home... no, what if your family..." he stopped, trying to find a thing that would matter to John. "What if your dope was on fire?"

"Impossible." he replied simply. "It's in Johnson's underwear."

Brian looked like a deer caught in flashlights making Andrew laugh.

"You think he's funny? You think his little act is cute? You think he's bitchin', is that it?" the vice-principal spat at Andrew. "Let me tell you something. Look at him, he's a bum. You wanna see something funny? You go visit those two in five years! You'll see how goddamned funny he is!" he yelled.

This was unfair. This is verbal abuse. How could an adult bully some kids that way? I had to clench my fists the hardest I could. At this point, I was finding it hard to hide my anger and Vernon clearly saw that. "Something you want to say Dubois?"

"How dare you call yourself a teacher? You are nothing more than a bully." I told him coldly, standing up. "You are supposed to be an adult, yet you verbally abuse a student and push him around? You disgust me."

I was so angry I forgot I wasn't supposed to speak. I couldn't think straight. I had to say something. I felt my chest tighten and tears began to roll down my eyes, but I didn't care right now. From the corner of my eyes, I saw John approaching me slowly until he put a hand on my shoulder, but I didn't let Vernon out of my sight.

He was angry, so am I.

"Are you aware, Miss Dubois…" he began threateningly "… of who you are talking to?"

"Yes."

"Are you aware you are still in detention?"

"Really?" I began sarcastically. "And here I thought we were here to finally give you a makeover. How stupid of me to think you would like people to give you some respect." I spat

Well, now I definitely know I don't think. I heard some gasps around me, but I couldn't care less. I felt another hand take mine. I was shaking, in what, I don't know, but I was shaking while glaring at the vice-principal.

"Careful about what you say Dubois, I may call your parents."

"Oh! Can you call my dad? I'm sure he would love that beautiful display of sarcasm!" I snarked

He started to walk towards me, but John put himself between the two of us. I heard Vernon take a deep breath before saying

"Detention for the next two Saturdays."

I nodded, still shaking and sat down. Vernon grabbed John's shoulder.

"Hey, you keep your fucking hands off me! I expect better manners from you, Dick!" exclaimed Bender as he free himself from the asshole's grip.

Bender bent and kissed my forehead. I smiled weakly at him.

"Breathe Alice" he whispered to me "Take care of her" he then whispered to Brian before going to exit.

He gave his sunglasses to Andrew while muttering "For better hallway vision."

He left the library with Rich, but not before pushing stuff over on the way.

I still had tears rolling down my eyes and my chest hurt pretty badly while I tried to breathe calmly. Andy stood up and went to sit in front of me. I felt Brian's hand in my hair, caressing my head. I could see Princess rolling her eyes at me and frowning.

"Do we need to do the 5 senses exercise Gabby?" Andy asked.

I shook my head. I just had trouble breathing, I was still pretty grounded.

"Ok, then follow my breathing." He took my hand and put it on his chest. I could feel it rising and falling, I tried to copy it for a moment

"That's good, you're breathing normally now." Andy said, smiling.

I smiled back

"Yeah, I feel good now." I told him "Thank you. Both of you." I told the two of them.

"No worries Gabby, that was great, what you've done out there! You should feel proud!" Andy told me with a huge smile.

"I… Yeah… I think I am… proud I mean." I answered with a small smile

I felt Brian's arm squeeze me at that. I knew he meant it as a "proud of you" gesture. Not for I had done to Vernon. I would be sure to have a lecture for that later. No, that was the first time since we knew each other that I actually said that I was proud of myself.

Andy smiled and ruffled my hair yet again.

"Are you always going to ruffle my hair now?" I asked, slightly amused

"What can I say Blondie? Your hair is rufflable." He answered, amused

I looked at him, confused "Is that an actual word?" I asked seriously

He laughed and shook his head, I snorted and put my head on Brian's shoulder, who smiled down at me.

Well hope you liked it you guys

Please review with any remarks or suggestions or just to tell me how you feel about Gabby, anything
