A/N Thank you to all the reviewers, I'm glad you like it so far. Feel Free to add suggestions, or questions. Also, I changed a little bit of chapter 2. I felt that the scenes from this chapter didn't fit in the right order, so I moved the Raditch scene and the Emma bathroom scene to the next chapter. Sorry for any confusion. Trust me. It flows better this way. Also This is kind of short but next chapter is long and will be up by Thursday.

Rick had been cutting through the cafeteria to follow Emma when he saw someone else from his list. His hand tighten the grip on the gun in his backpack.

Paige, this was all her fault. It was her fault that I was so angry and hurt Terri.

Rick flashed back to a scene from last year. (Music - Redefine by Sevendust)

Rick remembers going to the park with Terri and her friends. He had gone to clear his head as Paige was being rude to him again and when he came back he heard her arguing with Terri.

"I'm fine Paige. There's nothing to worry about." Terri insisted

" So What, you've just forgiven creep-boy for beating you up?!"Paige asked with anger building in her tone.

"He apologized." Terri said

"Of Course! His type always does so they can get another shot in at you!" yelled Paige

At this point Rick had heard enough and stepped out in front of the van to confront Paige. He was so angry with her and wanted to put her in her place.

Just sit down right here in front of me

I'll let you see

"One, you have no right to dictate who Terri's friends are. And Two, you're a vicious back stabber." Rick said

"Oh, I'm vicious?!" Paige said condescendingly

" Everything you say is a judgement. You think you're so perfect!" Rick shouted back

"What?! Well I'd rather be that then a psycho!"Paige shot back

With that said Rick kicked the van and stormed off

Connect your face to the fist

I'll show you what you can be

Paige was sitting down talking with some people when other kids started to laugh and point behind her. She turned and saw Rick just standing there staring. Paige stood up and started toward him. People were still laughing and Paige stopped walking and turned to face the remaining people in the room.

" It must be nice to have the mentality of a grade five. Life must be so easy for you with that uncomplicated thought process." Paige said loudly to the whole room "And unless you want me to personally put you in your place, I would suggest you learn how to grow up on your own and get the hell out of here. Run along now, children, it's time for your naps." And shot them all a trademark " Stop before I make you stop" look.

After that the room cleared. Being on Paige Myckelchuck's bad side was not where anyone wanted to be.

Now it was just Rick and Paige standing there in silence for a moment.

"Rick," Paige said

He blinked back to the present with the sound of her voice saying his name. Paige was standing right in front of him.

"We are alone, this is perfect" he thought to himself and started to pull the gun out slowly.

No one to hear your all your cries

No one to hear you beg

"Look I know we are not exactly best friends," Paige started

Listen to me, why can't you see

You are with me

Positioned under me

"But I wanted to say that I though the whole paint and feathers job was sickening" she continued "It was really childish."

Let you live

Rick put the gun back into the bag

I depend

On your will

Do you see what's running through me?

"I'm sorry . . . for hurting Terri." Rick said

Paige nodded in acceptance and walked away

Rick zipped up the backpack and threw it over his shoulders. He looked at Paige walking away. He took in a deep breath and for the first time felt calm and relaxed.

So I'm wrong

I'm not alone

Rick walked to his locker and opened it. He took his back pack and placed it in the locker. He then hung up his jacket and shut the door. He wasn't going to need his backpack after all.

You're holdin' me back again
