Chapter 5

Sophia and Lily were sitting at a lunch table in the cafeteria eating macaroni and cheese.

"Is macaroni and cheese supposed to taste tis bland?" Lily asked.

"I've had worse," Sophia replied.

Beth walked over to the table and sat down.

"Beth," Sophia said. "Will you please go away?"

"Sophia," Lily said. "Don't be rude to your sister."

"So Lily," Beth said. "Are you enjoying dating my ex-boyfriend?"

"Beth," Sophia said.

"I do enjoy dating him," Lily said. "My favorite parts of the dates are the end. That's when he drops me off at home and we make out for 10 minutes."

"Look," Beth said. "I was stupid for dumping him. I really want him back. Can you please back off?"

"Let me think," Lily replied. "No."

"I'm going to anywhere else," Sophia said before getting up and leaving.

"Look Lily," Beth said. "I love Chuck."

"Then you shouldn't have dumped him," Lily said.

"I know," Beth said. "I said that. You better back off my man!"

"Don't test me bitch!" Lily said in a threatening tone.

"Was that a threat?" Beth asked.

"What do you think?" Lily asked.

"Well you're nothing but a whore," Beth said.

"You did not just say that," Lily said.

"You're a whore," Beth repeated.

Lily took her macaroni and cheese and through it on Beth's shirt.

"My new shirt!" Beth shouted.

"Want some milk to go with that?!" Lily shouted.

"Don't you dare slut!" Beth shouted.

Lily took her milk carton and poured every last drop of milk into Beth's hair.

"There you go!" Lily shouted. "Now you're as wretched on the outside as you are on the inside!"

Everyone in the cafeteria, except Sophia, clapped and cheered. Lily got up and began walking away. Beth got up and jumped onto Lily's back and knocked her down.

"Get off of me!" Lily screamed.

"No!" Beth screamed.

Beth began pulling Lily's hair.

"Quit!" Lily screamed. "That hurts!"

"You deserve it bitch!" Beth screamed.

"And you deserve this!" Lily screamed before flipping Beth over.

Lily and Beth began pulling each other's hair.

"Let go of my hair!" Beth shouted.

"Not until you let go of my hair!" Lily shouted.

"Never!" Beth shouted.

Lily and Beth continued to fight and a crowd formed around them to cheer them on. Some students even got out their phones and began filming them.

"Girl fight!" one student cheered. "This is going to be viral!"

Principal Rimkus walked into the cafeteria.

"Everyone get to class!" Rimkus shouted.

Everyone began walking to class. Lily and Beth stopped fighting and stood up. Rimkus looked at them and by the look on her face, they knew they were in trouble.

"Girls," Rimkus said sternly. "My office, now."

Lily and Beth nervously followed Rimkus to her office. Rimkus sat at her desk.

"Have a seat girls," Rimkus said.

Lily and Beth did as they were told.

"Fighting is not tolerated in this school and I have the right to expel both of you," Rimkus said. "However, since this is the first time I've had to call you into my office, I will give each of you a warning."

"Yes ma'am," Lily and Beth said.

"However," Rimkus said. "There will be consequences for your actions. You will both report to after school detention for the rest of the week, starting today."

"Yes ma'am," Lily and Beth said.

"Additionally, this upcoming Saturday night, you will work the concession during the basketball game at the middle school," Rimkus said. "For both the boys' game and the girls' game."

"Yes ma'am," Lily and Beth said once again.

"Now get to class," Rimkus said.

Lily and Beth got up and began walking towards the door.

"Oh, and girls," Rimkus said.

Lily and Beth stopped and turned around.

"I will be notifying your guardians about today," Rimkus said.

"Understandable," Lily and Beth said nervously.
