I know, I've been gone for months...I'm not going to discuss it but I will say that I've been busy with studying and I've had trips to account for etc. My exams are next year so I need to get on top of studying now. Cause you can't know it all in a year.

But...new chapter! And I can't bear to read my old fanfics or chapters. Really, I cringe. But I'll try to follow on as best I can and also, I'll update again within a week cause I have hols anyway. Oh and I'll make my chapters smaller, so they're more bearable to write.

R&R and Sorry for not being on...but I'm still here ^^

Stella POV

"He did that to you?! Right, that's it, I'm going to beat him up!"

"No, Musa don't!"

"What? You're sticking up for that douche bag now?"

"Hell no! It's just; you're going to get into major trouble, as will I, and I haven't even told you the rest yet!" She sat down, defeated.

My second day of being here and I've probably caused more drama than what happens in the space of a month. I've been stopped more than once today by someone who'd obviously heard the news: "You seriously did that? To Brandon?"

"Oh my god, you should've taken a picture of him and posted it on Snapchat!"

"No one's stood up to him like that!"

It felt nice to be noticed by people, not for being nerdy, but for standing up for myself and making a fool of the biggest player in the school. People were just waiting for that to happen, and I did it.

After filling the girls in on the rest of the story, they started to understand why I was being praised. Lunch today was the first time I got to see them so they didn't know really what had happened.

"You rock Stella, seriously that was awesome!" Aisha smirked, high-fiving me from across the table.

"Everyone's been waiting for someone to stand up to Brandon but everyone was too afraid because they knew they'd be humiliated for it, from him." Bloom explained. "But, you're that person to actually do something about it. Now you just need to sort out the rest of the gang."

"What? I'm sorry but that isn't on my list of things to do." I smirked. "Hey maybe Musa should do it?"

"No thanks. I have enough shit to deal with."

"Hold up a second." Flora frowned. "So you just left them after that? Walked away like it was nothing?"

"Sorta. Some snarky remarks were made but that's not the point." I stood up to go get rid of my leftover lunch. "The point is Brandon, and his squad, were acting like pricks, so I-"

"You know, beautiful, I don't like being talked about that way."

I froze knowing who was right behind me, my heart beating quicker and quicker. I might not have been here long but I knew one thing already, never talk shit about someone popular, especially Brandon.

Turning round slowly, I caught the glances of a few people who were now staring at me, as well as the whole cafeteria. Fully facing him, I could see how close he actually was to me. Probably a foot.

"Well," he smirked. "Do you have something to say?"

I know what he wanted. He wanted me to beg for his forgiveness. Grovel at his feet and plead to him as to why I should be let off with what I did. But that would mean my defeat, and that isn't my way to go. Not after all I've been through in my childhood, that's when I let him push me down, beat me up inside until I'd run off and go cry in a corner. That was when I was scared of him and even though he's still intimidating, I'm not going to let it show.

"Yes. I'm sorry." Everyone stared, some gasped not expecting me to admit defeat, but I wasn't finished. "Sorry for being the first person to humiliate you. Unfortunately not in front of everyone else because I'm sure they'd have all loved to see that!"

Dared cheers sounded and then a round of applause. Brandon stared at me, anger showing in his eyes. He took a couple steps closer to me. "That wasn't the answer I was expecting. You don't want to challenge me, beautiful."

"Seems like I already am. And you're losing."

He chuckled and moved closer. "You may think so but trust me. I can make all these losers bow down to my word." His hand slinked over my waist and gripped it firmly, so I wouldn't get free, whilst the other lifted my head so that I had no choice but to stare into his eyes. "And I always get what I want. So if you don't follow the rules, I'll have to punish you." His voice grew deep and seductive but it was laced with venom. He was dangerous right now, I had become his new prey and if I'm not careful, he'll use me for his bidding.

"Well, if you're going to punish me," I started, a smile forming on my lips as I lowered my voice to a tempting whisper. "Then you're going to have to think of one quick." With my free hand, I grabbed some of my leftover lunch and threw it in his face. He backed off, suddenly, stumbling a little as he tried to get rid of the cabbage and tomatoes over his face.

"You...bitch!" He spat and threw someone else's lunch at me. A macaroni and cheese meal, now stuck in my hair and staining my clothes. I gasped in shock, then looked at him dead straight and we started throwing more food at each other.

Soon though, the whole cafeteria got involved. Everyone was launching food and anyone. Brandon's squad had walked in halfway through and were now being attacked. Bloom and Tecna lobbed random meals at Sky and Timmy, probably just to get their attention. Musa and Aisha were taking it as a full on war and were using tactics to smother Riven and Nabu in as much food as they could find meanwhile Flora was off scared, hiding behind tables and chairs, but every now and again, she'd throw a chip at Helia.

Me and Brandon had ended up on the floor, after slipping on everything. He found someone's jam sandwich and shoved it in my mouth so I spat it back in his face. Then, however, he wiped some of it off onto mine. Equally disgusting.

After about ten minutes maybe, there was the booming voice of the headmaster that made everyone stop in fear: "WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?"

Everyone pointed to me and Brandon; we were both as shocked as each other. "In my office, both of you! NOW!"
