Kay burst into the Harmony High doors, in a small, tight shirt and hip-hugger jeans. She walked down the crowded halls, with every eye on her.
She stopped in front of Charity, "I've heard you've been saying things about me." Charity opened her mouth but remained silent. "So, it's true?"
"No, who told you that?" Charity asked loudly, walking away from Kay.
Kay grabbed her arm, "Don't run away from me, Charity. We need to resolve this NOW," she said putting her hands on her hips, 'Now, why have you been spreading rumors about me?"
Charity raised her hand but Kay caught it before it hit her face, "Let me go, Kay!" Charity slapped Kay with her free hand and Kay grabbed her hair.
They had forgotten about everyone else in the hall, until the principle broke them up.
Kay and Charity sat in the school office, waiting for Sam and Grace to come pick them up, "This isn't over," Kay whispered, giving Charity a dirty look.
"You bet it's not," Charity said back and then turned her face away.
That night at the Bennett house Sam and Grace had sent Kay to her room, grounded for the rest of the month, while Charity sat down stairs with Miguel.
"I'm going to make her sorry, Simone," Kay said as she looked out her bedroom window.
"Just give it up, Kay," Simone said, "haven't you caused enough trouble for one night?"
Kay smiled wickedly at Simone and said, "I haven't even got started, Simone."
