A/N- OK well first things first… to the reviewers who talked about my language. I am very sorry for that I didn't mean to do it. I was trying to keep from doing that throughout the story but I guess I slipped several times. The note in Chapter 14 was meant to be like that because that's how people write notes around here. Sorry but that shall stay the same. I will probably go back and fix the mistakes in the chapters later when I am really bored but for now deal with it. Also…I will from now on spell "suxz" like "suck." Anything else that I can do to make the story better? Just let me know. Also I am going to keep the rating PG13 so that means during "certain scenes" it wont be specific because I want to keep it at PG13. OK?? So on with the story.

Chapter 16-

"What is that all about?" Ruthie asked Ashley staring at the wall.

"Umm I don't know but I have an idea who wrote it." Ashley said turning to look at a group of people in one corner laughing.

"Ruthie Camden is a druggie slut!" Ruthie read what the wall said.

"That's right." Emily said coming out of the middle of the group and facing Ruthie.

"So you wrote that?" Ruthie asked.

"Yea I wrote it. Got a problem with that?" Emily said.

"Yea I do. Why do you have to go around writing stuff about other people?" Ruthie said.

"Well I wouldn't write it if it weren't true." Emily said smiling.

"Ok. Well how is it true then?" Ruthie asked. Ashley was holding her back.

"Well I was at the party on Saturday. I saw you and Jason getting freaky with it behind the tree and I saw you both smoking." Emily's friend Jaclyn said.

"OK you must need glasses then because we were making out. Nothing else. So get it straight." Ruthie said. "Oh and that wasn't marijuana. That was a cigarette. Much like the one you were smoking before I came in." Ruthie finished.

"OK I don't smoke or anything. I am straight edge and I know that you were doing more than kissing. Ashley told me. Actually everyone told me and I saw you two behind the tree." Jaclyn said. Ashley let Ruthie go.

Ruthie let her fist go and she punched Emily in the face and then Ashley punched Jaclyn in the face. They began to fight. Everyone ran out of the bathroom except for Ashley, Ruthie, Jaclyn, and Emily. They continued to fight. Ruthie got in a few good punches but she didn't get hurt to badly. Same with Ashley. The next thing Ruthie notices thought is a cop showing up in the bathroom. Ruthie Camden, Jaclyn Mathars, Ashley Pitts, and Emily Celeste, you are all under arrest for fighting on school property.

Ruthie thought to herself…"Damn. I am going to get killed when I get home tonight. What am I going to do." Everyone was taken out of school and was taken to the police station. They're parents were called and they were told to come to the police station.

(scene setting….Emily, Ruthie, Ashley, Jacelyn, and Emily's and Jaclyn's moms and dads are there and Ruthie's and Ashley's moms are there too. The police officers walk in and they sit down and meet with the parents.)

"Ok we have thought about this and we have come to a resolution for each girl." The police officer who identified himself as Officer Williams.

"OK we will start with Miss Ashley Pitts. Ashley has been arrested before for fighting so she is going to be put on probation for six months and she will also have to do 15 hours of community service." He handed Mrs. Pitts some papers.

"OK now Jaclyn Mathars, you have never been arrested but you have been in trouble before, so you only have 7 hours of community service." He also handed Jaclyn's parents some papers.

"Now for Miss Ruthie Camden. You have never been in trouble and you seem to be a good girl. We have decided on 5 hours of community service and you are going to have to attend 3 weeks of anger management classes." Officer Williams handed Mrs. Camden papers.

"And Emily Celeste…You have the same punishment as Miss Camden." He handed Mr and Mrs Celeste papers.

"And there is one more thing for the four of you. Since you were in a fight on school grounds you have been suspended for five days. But those five days will not be spent at home. You all must spend a week Monday-Sunday in alternative education. In alternative education, you will be supervised by teachers and adults all day. You will also have to stay there meaning they have "living quarters" were you four will be undergoing peer counseling and peer mediation." The officer handed each parent a packet.

"Does this mean that we wont be able to see our kids for a week?" Emily's parents asked.

"No. They have times when you can visit your children and stuff it is all listed in that packet. Ok this is what is going to happen. I am going to release the girls to you until 8 o'clock tonight. At 8 o'clock I need to have all four girls back here with bags packed and everything. There is a list of everything the girls need to have. They cannot bring anything else except for things listed on that list. Is that clear?" Officer Williams finished.

The parents nodded and the children were released to their parents. Ruthie really didn't want to go home because she knew what was about to happen.

OK well alternative education is more or less a boot camp/ military style school. Just in case you were wondering. OK I will probably type Chapter 17 tonight or maybe I wont but I don't know when I will so please Review and let me know what you think of this chapter. XoXo CaRe BeAr
