A/N: Oh my goodness guys and dolls. With the help of a reviewer (sorry I don't remember your name but God does and he is giving you the credit!) I found out that I left out wonderful CJ. Well I don't know when but I'm going to fold her in to the story. Her and a little friend? Who you might ask. Well you'll just have to read it. And now:
CHAPTER 2
Josh Lyman made his way to the lunch room after 4th period. He was on his way to meet Donna and go to lunch at Quedoba's the Mexican restaurant right down the street from there school. 5 minutes later Josh saw Zoey walk into the other entrance of the lunch room and smiled. He was so proud of her for making it this far.
Josh remembered when he was a freshman at Lincoln just 3 years ago. It hadn't been a pleasant experience for him either. Many people picked on him because he was so short. The enjoyed pulling on his curly hair and laughing when the upperclassmen tripped him in the hall. For 4 long months he suffered until one day a tall (at least to him), very handsome sophomore who looked like a senior came up to him.
"Hello...….Josh is it. My name is Jed, Jed Bartlet and I'm starting a freshmen baseball team. Word is that your one of the best and I want you on my team. So come to room 310 everyday during lunch and well talk strategy. Well we can't do it today 'because I have to meet Abbey for lunch but well start tomorrow. Ok see you." he turned around stared at the guys and walked off. Josh ran to catch up with him.
"Hey thanks back there I needed the help." Josh said trying to keep up with Jed.
"No problem" Jed said not really paying attention to him
"Hey did you really mean what you said about baseball?" Josh said already feeling the answer.
"No" Jed said laughing at Josh all the way down the hall. "Hey but you can still come eat with us in room 310 every day its varsity baseball, but it'll be cool. "
As he was remembering the best day of his freshman year he couldn't see the growing confrontation between Zoey and three senior boys.
Zoey didn't know what to do. She had been standing in line waiting for lunch when a guy had come up to her and got a little close.
"Hey Zoey how's your first day of school going" he asked wrapping his hands around her waist making her unable to move.
"Just fine Kyle now let me go" she said finally getting free from his grasp.
Kyle Eldermoore had dated Donna for the first 5 months of her freshmen year. They had broken up when her chorus big sister, Abbey, and Abbey's boyfriend Jed had introduced her to Josh. Kyle never liked Josh ever since then and especially didn't like Zoey for what she did to him after her sister's breakup. Zoey always thought of Kyle as a bad seed and wanted to help her sister so she broke up with Kyle for Donna. Kyle in turn had slapped her around a couple of times and told her that she would eventually pay. Zoey had never told any one about that. She had said that she fell and hit her face on the concrete. Of course Donna never believed it and forced Zoey to confess. After that Donna was always careful of Zoey and made sure she was safe. Except for now.
"You know what Zoey you have grown into a fine young lady just like your sister. I was just wondering if you wanted to, you know talk with me in the hall." normally Zoey would have screamed for the closest teacher or adult but the increasing grip he had on her arm told her other wise.
"Um… that's ok Kyle I'm just gonna eat lunch I didn't eat breakfast and I'm starved." Zoey said her mind running wild. Kyle was coming closer and closer to her and nobody seemed to be doing anything about it.
Kyle came up to Zoey and whispered in her ear. "Zoey don't embarrass me in front of my friends. You know what I can do when I'm upset. So come with me right now and maybe you'll be able to catch lunch tomorrow."
Kyle backed up and smiled an evil smile. "So Zoey you want to go and talk outside?"
Zoey couldn't think of anything to do. She quickly looked around the lunchroom to someone she could call or yell to. Then she spotted him, the answer to her prayers. Josh was standing at the entrance to the lunchroom looking up obviously dreaming about something stupid. But stupid as he was, he was her only chance at getting away so she tried her best to reach him.
"Ok Kyle I just have to make a quick phone call." she said reaching into her pocket for her cell phone.
"Oh don't worry about it. You can make the call outside. There's better reception out there anyway. Come on." Kyle said with a "what the hell are you doing" face on.
"Ok" Zoey said scared out of her mind.
Kyle walked Zoey outside of the cafeteria and into the boy's bathroom. The minute he got in there he slapped her across the face. Hard.
"I don't know what kind of stunt your playing but if I ask for you to go somewhere I'm not asking if you want to or not you go. Get up here now." Kyle said pulling her hair to get her up.
"Kyle stop it, STOP IT." Zoey screamed for dear life when he punched her in her mouth and stomach.
She fell to the ground. When she looked up she tasted blood in her mouth. When she got knocked down she crashed under her cell phone. It had pressed the call button.
"Zoey now, I didn't mean to do that and you know it. you cant keep all this screaming or someone will hear and catch us and if that happens well you might as well not even come back to school for that." Kyle said unbuckling his belt and zipping down his pants.
Meanwhile down the hallway CJ Cregg and Simon Donavan were walking to lunch hand in hand. CJ had been dating Simon since the 6th grade. They had met when some kids were making fun of CJ because of her height. But Simon came running to her rescue and chased them off. After about a month of being friends Simon finally asked CJ to the winter dance and she accepted. They had been going out ever since.
"So what's for lunch today?" CJ asked looking at Simon.
"Not sure but I guess well find out hon." Simon said as he and CJ walked into the door the same way that Zoey and Kyle had left.
CJ and Simon where just about to get in line when she saw something she recognized.
"Hey isn't that Zoey's purse." CJ said picking it up off the ground.
"Check the ID" Simon said just as concerned as CJ.
Zoey was Donna's little sister. She had told every one to look out for her when they could. CJ hadn't seen any of her friends today except for Toby and Josh in AP physc. They had said hey and talked for a while but CJ mostly had all non government classes. CJ just wanted to graduate so she could get started on her "movie star" job. She had applied for it last summer and was one of the 5 finalists for the job to work with Robert and Isabelle. They were big movie producers and wanted her. She was so excited.
"It's hers" CJ said looking up at Simon. As excited as she was, all of that was washed away at the moment when she heard a cell phone go off beside them.
"Hey guys hold on" Josh said digging his phone out of his pocket. "Hello…"
"……get up here now." "Kyle stop it, STOP IT…"
They all heard the scream and Josh looked at the caller ID on the cover.
