The plan

The bell rang as I walked out of the office, tears streaming down my face. I turned to walk down the stairs and two hands covered my eyes. I grabbed them and threw them off of me quickly turning, my fist ready to hit whoever it could have been. Davis's eyes bulged as he bent down to avoid my swing.

"Hey what is going on?" He asked throwing his hands up. I walked over and planted my face on his shoulder. He rested his gentle hands on the back of my head and pulled me away from the middle of the hallway. I sobbed uncontrollably as he smoothed down my hair. "Whatever it is you can tell me." He whispered as he kissed my head.

"I can't Davis, I just can't." I cried. He grabbed my face and pulled it away from him.

"Hey whatever it is I can handle it for you. You don't need to be tough anymore, you have me for that now." His face and voice were so sincere, but I knew nothing he could do would make this any better. Seth slowly walked out of the office and nudged Davis.

"Watch her." He said before walking away. He went down the stairs and walked toward the entrance doors, motioning with his head for us to follow. I let go of Davis and followed, Davis ran up behind me.

"What is he talking about?" Davis whispered to me. I just kept walking, not saying a word. I pushed open the doors and saw Seth walk toward the exit to town. I began to jog toward him. He could explain to Davis what I couldn't. I could barely get the words out of my mouth and Dr. Crabblesnitch stood up, pointed, and called me a liar. We followed Seth across the street to the path leading to town. He stopped as soon as we were out of sight of the school. Davis put his hands in his pockets as he waited for the explanation.

"Alright. Sapphira, I know this is going to be hard for you, but it needs to be done. We have got to convince Dr. Crabblesnitch that something is going on. Davis, as hard as it's going to be, you have to stay on the sidelines, but still keep an eye out on her." Davis held up his hand.

"I don't even know what's going on." He said shaking his head, looking from me to Seth. I shook my head.

"Since Max has started there have been a few incidents where he was sexually harassing female students. For some reason no one will believe the students, but when I saw him leading her to the janitors closet I knew it was true." He looked at me and shook his head. Davis stepped back.

"So he has been bothering you this whole time and you never told me?" Davis angrily asked me. I nodded and wiped the tears from my face. "Why?"

"Because I didn't want to get you involved. I don't want you to get in trouble because of me. And I didn't want him to hurt you." I cried to the point where I began to yell. Seth looked behind me to make sure no one was coming.

"Sapphira you need to try to get him alone, Davis just be close enough to make sure nothing happens. I need him to talk about it. If he tries anything you and I will take him down." Seth explained.

"Unless she can't trust me enough." He folded his arms. I walked over to him and attempted to place my hand on his chest. He backed away and held his hands up.

"Davis please." I begged, he shook his head.

"I'll do this but after, I'm done." He walked back toward the school. Seth walked over and let me hug him for a moment before he walked away. I sat on the ground, crying watching the stars blur above my head.
