Welcome back and enjoy.

Camila and Mateo both sat down in the principal's office as they explained the situation to him. "And do you have any evidence about this bullying?" "Our little girl was covered in trash, markers drawn on her face and a black eye what else do you need!?" "Calma mi amor," Camila told him as the principal then said "Sorry but with no evidence, the best I can do is just place her in a different homeroom." "Well thank you for the help."

Camila said as she and her husband sat in the car as he then slammed his head on the horn. "Don't stress out." "How can I not!? Our child is being picked on and the school isn't doing anything about it!" "Maybe we should go back to homeschooling her." "No, she needs a social life and friends." "I want that for her too but right now isn't the time."

Then drove back home as Luz was stress-bitting her tail as the door was knocked. "QuiƩn es?" "It's your mother Luz." "Come in." Camila then walked in and sat next to her daughter. "We talked to the school and they can't do anything unless you give them a name." "No, she'll hurt me," Luz told her mother sweating.

"No one is going to hurt you I promise you that." "Really?" "Yes, now let's get you into the tub and clean this mess off." Soon after two hours of hard scrubbing and three bottles of shampoo Luz was clean for the most part. "The smell is still stuck but it'll go away." "Do I still have to go to school tomorrow?" Luz asked.

"Yes but try not to do anything that might get you in trouble alright?" "Yes, mama." "That's my girl," Camila said as she kissed her daughter's cheek. "Charlotte." "Hmm?" "That's her name," Luz said to Camila. "See you are brave."

The next school day Luz felt slightly better as she walked the halls and into homeroom where she sat down at her desk while the teacher took attendance as Luz was once again teased for her name but she ignored it for the most part. At recess, Luz simply sat down by a tree when she was hit with a dodge ball. "Weird eyes!" Luz then froze in fear as Charlotte stood in front of her as she grabbed the ball and hit Luz with it.

"Little birdy told me to find you." "Why?" "Oh maybe because... I just got a month's worth of detention!" Charlotte yelled before grabbing and tossing Luz to the ground as she gulped as a small crowd formed to watch. "What did I say if that happened?" "Uhm..." "I'll remind you." Luz didn't know what hit her as a fist landed on her face as she fell and held her nose as blue blood came out of it which she covered with her shirt.

"Ow." "I'm just getting started." Luz was then punched in the gut as she held it in pain. "Stop please..." "Let me think no." Charlotte then grabbed Luz and started pulling back her arms and twisted causing Luz to hiss in pain as tears leaked out. "Oh is little weirdo gonna cry? Well, how about a give you a knuckle sandwich before I break your teeth!"

Charlotte then swung her fist at Luz as the young girl did something drastic... she bit her with her sharp fangs as Charlotte then yelled holding her hand as there was a deep gash and torn skin as it bleed. "You bit me... you actually..." She didn't say anything else as she then fainted as Luz stood up and spit in her face. "Who's the victim now!?" "LUZ NOCEDA!"

Luz then felt her arm get grabbed as the teacher on watch duty then looked at Charlotte and then at Luz. "What did you do?" "I... I" Luz then felt pain as the teacher dragged her by the ear as two others carried Charlotte to the nurse's office.

Camila took a deep breath as she entered the principal's office to see Luz with a tissue in her nose, the principal, and two people who Camila assumed were another child's parents as she sat down while the principal talked. "It must be hard for you to be here Mrs. Noceda but we need to discuss your daughter." "What happened?"

"What happened?!" The woman said as she stood up in front of Camila and said "Your kid nearly tore off my little angel's hand off!" "I'm sure she didn't mean..."

The father then spoke "Mean to? Was that what you were going to say? Well, I say you should have the little psycho committed!"

"MY DAUGHTER IS NOT INSANE!" Camila yelled as the principal then shushed everyone. "Enough, now I hate to say this but until this matter is settled in court." "Court on what reasons?!" "Aggravated assault." Charlotte's parents said. "Like I said until it's settled I'm afraid Luz will be suspended for about a month."

Camila and Luz then went and sat in the Car as Camila shook for a bit before breaking down into tears as she laid her head on the wheel as Luz stayed silent before Camila spoke. "Dios ayudanos."

"I deserve this," Luz said as Camila then looked at her. "No Luz what you did was just your defensive instincts." "My what?" "I'll tell you when you're older."

Camila was starting the car when she backed into another car as she then swore under her breath as she got out and saw a small dent. "Great just..." "What the hell!?" Cam then saw the same couple from the office along with Charlotte her hand wrapped in bandages. "Oh what you can't handle seeing your kid in a hospital so you wreak our car!?" "It was an accident." "Shut it!"

Camila then stayed silent as she then wrote down her insurance information and handed it to them as they then waited for a tow truck as Luz then ran up to Charlotte who screamed "STAY AWAY YOU FREAK!" Her parents then lifted her up.

"Control your child!" The mother said. "I just wanted to say sorry," Luz told them. "Well it's too late for that now, I'm sure you'll do fine with other weirdos like you."

They then walked away as Luz once again burst into tears and hugged her mother.

"Why do people hate us so much?!" "That's just the way the world is Mija," Camila said as they simply drove home where Mateo was not very pleased.

"She did what!?" "Papa it was..." "SAVE IT!, great not only that but you wreaked their car?" "I didn't know it was there and also we have a court date coming up."

Mateo then took a deep breath. "I need a drink." He then got up and started drinking a beer while Luz simply went to her room and hid under the bed as the phone rang to which Camila picked it up. "Hello? Yes, you have the right num... I don't understand what you... this weekend? Yes, I'm sure that'll be fine."

Camila then hung up as Mateo asked "Who was that?" "The court date isn't even set yet and now... they're sending a social worker to check on Luz."

Things are looking rough for them.
