This week went by too quickly for Rachael. Her leg cast was finally off of her leg, and she was very happy to have it off, but now she wished it was back on her leg so she could not come to school today. Gar and Rachael walked along the sidewalk in the morning. Gar blabbed on about topics Rachael didn't care for. Her thoughts were too focus on Adonis. Her train of thought was interrupted by Gar shaking her arm. She snapped out of her concentration and looked at Gar.
"Rachael, are you okay? You look really pale." Gar said as he stroked Rachael's face.
Rachael looked at Gar and nodded her head. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little nervous."
Gar looked at Rachael confused. "Nervous of what?"
Rachael shrugged her shoulders and kept walking along the long sidewalk. Gar walked stood there confused. "Rachael, you haven't been acting yourself. Whenever I talked about school, you'll freeze up and dismiss the idea." Gar said as he gently grabbed her shoulder.
Rachael looked at her feet. "I...I don't know. Maybe I'm scared of seeing everyone and see what they think."
"But you never cared what everyone thought before, so why now?" Gar asked her trying to figure out what she is hiding from him.
Rachael shrugged again and kept walking. Gar sighed and followed her. They both reached the school campus and entered the school building. Almost every eye turned to Rachael. Rachael looked down trying to ignore the eyes that were being glued onto her. She heard whispers and knew that it was about her, but she knows that she doesn't care what they thought. 'They could kiss my pale butt.' She would usually said when people talked about her. She acted as if it hurt to convince Gar which she believe was working. Gar walked down the hallway right next to Rachael. They reached her locker and she began to take her books out. The silence was too much for her so she tried to bring a small conversation between her and Gar.
"I'm surprise that I still remember the locker combination." She said as she smiled at Gar.
Gar smiled at her. "Yeah, me too. Everything is going to be back to normal sooner or later."
Rachael laughed. "I wish." Rachael thought as she closed her locker after she retrieved her books. They walked down the hallway of their normal homeroom class. They entered the classroom, and the chatting soon stopped. Everyone looked at Rachael as if she grew another head. Rachael looked down at the floor and walked to her feet. Some whispers were heard and others just continued their chat before she walked into the classroom. She walked directly to her seat where Richard, Kori and Victor were seated. Kori sprang up from her seat and hugged Rachael in a swift motion. She squealed with delight and had a big smile. "Oh Rachael, I am so happy to see you at school again." Kori said with a big smile.
After Kori let go of Rachael with the strong gripped hug, she sat down in her seat. "It's good to be back and see all of you." Rachael said with a smile.
"Girl, it's been weird without you. I'm happy to see you." Victor said.
"Me too." Richard smiled.
The teacher came into the room. He walked in front of the classroom and noticed Rachael.
"Welcome back, Rachael. I'm glad to see you back." The teacher said with a smile.
Rachael gave a small smile back, but it soon faded away as she felt eyes staring at her. Worry swept through Rachael. She sighed and looked to her left. On the other side of the classroom was Adonis. He sat in the chair staring at her with even more lust. He saw her staring at him and winked at her. Rachael became angry and unnoticed by the teacher, gave him the middle finger. Adonis smirked. Rachael turned around in anger. The teacher kept rambling on with the announcements until the bell rang, everyone quickly left the classroom to reach their classroom. Rachael saw that Adonis was still sitting in his seat. She stayed near Gar until they both left the classroom. He walked her to her locker.
"See, Rachael. There's nothing to be worried about." Gar said with a smile as he leaned against her locker.
Rachael silently nodded her head and retrieved her English book. "That's what you think." Rachael thought as she closed her clocker.
Gar looked at the clock and saw that he was going to be late for class. "Crap, I'll see you at third period, Rachael. " He said as he ran down the hallway to get to his class on top. Rachael sighed and walked to her class. Most of the students were in class so it was basically her in the hallway. She walked down the hallway to her English class when she felt a hand grabbed her shoulder roughly. She dropped her book and backed away from the person that grabbed her. She saw that it was just Richard. She sighed in relief. "Oh. It's just you." She said as she took the book from him.
"Yeah, it's me. Sorry that I scared you." He said with a smile.
"Don't worry about it." She said as they walked down the hallway.
"Aren't you supposed to be in class?" Rachael asked Richard.
Richard shrugged his shoulders. "I had to use the bathroom."
"But the boy's bathroom is the other way" Rachael said as she looked the other way.
"So" He said with a smile.
Rachael laughed.
"Are you ok? You look really scared and…paler"
Rachael sighed. "It's Adonis. I really don't want to deal with him."
Richard nodded. "Don't worry about him. He'll leave you alone sooner or later."
"I doubt it." Rachael said as they approached her classroom.
"Well, I'll talk to you later." Rachael said as she opened the door and entered her classroom.
Richard started to slowly walk toward the opposite way of the classroom, debating on whether he should go to his classroom or really go to the bathroom. He shrugged and lazily walked to his class.

Rachael sat in her seat in the classroom. She rest her book on the table and sat back. She watched the teacher teach the lesson for today and realized that she somewhat had no clue of what the teacher was talking about due to her not being in school for a month. Rachael sighed and blocked out the teacher. She looked out the window that was directly next to her seat. She thought about the problem with Adonis. She wondered if she should tell Gar or someone else. She didn't know what to do. "I'm defiantly not telling Kori." Rachael thought as she stared outside the window. "If I tell her, then she might blab it to everyone…I could trust Richard, but I don't know him all like that….Victor is like a big brother to me..I could probably tell him about it…Defiantly not telling Gar." Rachael sighed as a headache was now starting to appear. She looked back up at the teacher, but she felt something…something. Weird. She looked around and saw Adonis. He was smirked at her. Rachael quickly turned around in fear. She felt her heart pound against her chest. "How is he in my class? The only class I have with him is biology." Rachael thought. The bell rang which pulled her out of her thoughts she quickly carried her book and ran from the classroom before she was alone with Adonis. She ran to her locker and looked around for Gar, in hopes of seeing him come down the hallway. A large hand closed abruptly closed her locker and Rachael jumped in fear. Adonis leaned against the locker with a lustful smirk.
"Hey beautiful, I see your still alive. Did you enjoy our first night?" He asked with a smirk.
Fear slowly started to turn into rage. She dropped her book bags and books and kicked Adonis where the sun didn't shine hard. Adonis bended over in immense pain. Rachael soon started to kick him in the face and stomach over and over until he gripped her leg. Rachael tried to pull her leg from his strong grip. He looked at her and laughed.
"Well aren't you the feisty one." He said as he slowly got up from the floor.
"Let go, you sick freak!" Rachael yelled at him as she kept trying to pull her leg from his grasp.
Adonis laughed. "I don't think so sweetheart."
Gar suddenly came and punched Adonis in the back of his head. Adonis let go of Rachael's leg and turned around and looked angrily at Gar.
"What is wrong with you, dude! Leave her alone. Gar said angrily.
Adonis smirked. "No way. She's mine."
"You wish!" Gar said angrily.
Adonis ran up to Gar. Gar kept his ground ready to fight. Adonis started to punch Gar, hitting him here and there. Gar punched Adonis in one blow causing Adonis to walk back. A teacher suddenly appeared from a classroom. Students quickly fled the scene. Adonis looked at Gar with angry eyes.
"This isn't over, shrimp." Adonis said as he pointed at Gar.
"Whatever." Gar said as he walked towards Rachael. They both walked down the hallway leaving Adonis in the hallway.

The gang sat at their usual lunch table. Gar looked around the lunchroom for Adonis, but didn't see anywhere in sight.
"Gar, could you sit down?" Rachael said as she pulled Gar down onto the seat.
"No, Rachael. I'm bout to kick his butt. He shouldn't be messing with you." Gar said as he kept looking around the lunchroom.
Richard looked at Rachael who looked back at him. "Adonis is messing with you?"
Rachael silently nodded.
"Friend, you should tell the principle. Surely he would do something to stop Adonis from annoying you." Kori said as she at her salad.
Rachael shook her head "That fool won't stop."
"Well he's going to." Gar said angrily.
"Gar, please don't fight him. He could hurt you." Rachael said pleadingly to Gar.
"What? You don't think I can beat him up?" Gar said as he turned to Gar.
"No! It's not that. I..." Rachael sighed.
Gar sat in his chair angrily and ate his food. Rachael rubbed her forehead as another headache was starting to rise again. The three friends look at the stressed out couple.
"Alright guys, don't turn on each other." Richard said to them.
Gar rolled his eyes. "I wish Adonis could just drop dead."
"Me too." Rachael said as she kept rubbing her forehead.
"Friend, you look stress" Kori said.
"I am. I don't know what I'm learning because I haven't been in school for almost two months, and I have yet another psycho not leaving me alone." Rachael said in distress.
Gar looked at her with sorry eyes and hugged her. Rachael gladly accepted the hug and rested her head on his chest trying not to let her tears fall.
"Hasn't Adonis been like obsessing over you for years?" Richard asked as he pondered the thought.
"Yeah." Rachael shrugged. "So?"
"Well why are you worrying about it?" Richard asked in confusion. Everyone turned to her to hear her answer.
"Darn it, Richard!" Rachael thought.
Rachael sat there trying to think of an excuse until the lunchroom doors open and Adonis entered the lunchroom. Gar held on to Rachael tighter as Adonis walked by them with his tray of food. Rachael sighed once again and closed her eyes.

Mrs. Logan slowly brushed Rachael's now long her. Rachael sat on her seat in front of her mirror in her bedroom. Mrs. Logan noticed the distress on Rachael's face. She soon became confused and wondered what was causing Rachael discomfort.
"Rachael?" Mrs. Logan asked Rachael as she kept brushing her hair.
Rachael broke form her train of thought. "Yes?"
"Are you alright? You seem very distress."
Rachael sighed and looked at her hands. "I'm fine."
"No you're not sweetheart. I know when something is wrong."
Rachael staid quiet with no words to say. Mrs. Logan brought Rachael to the bed and sat next to her.
"Ok, sweetheart. What's going on?" Mrs. Logan asked as she sat next to Rachael.
Rachael still staid quiet in fear of what to say. She sighed and turned to Mrs. Logan. She saw the concern and love in her green eyes. It reminded her of Gar. "Should I tell her? It looks like she cares. But would she tell Gar...I might as well just tell her to get this out of my head!" She thought. Fear rose through Rachael's body. She nervously but quietly said. "Mrs. Logan, when I was kidnapped by my father….A boy from my school..." Rachael stopped. Tears started to ran down her face. She chocked when she tried to continue talking. Mrs. Logan hugged her and brought her into her arms. She kept her in her arms as Rachael wept. "..He…Raped me." Rachael wept as she began to choke and sob even more. Mrs. Logan's eyes grew big and she held onto Rachael even tighter. She comforted her. She rubbed her back said re-assuring words to the sobbing girl.
"Rachael. Why didn't you say anything?" Mrs. Logan said as she rubbed her back.
Rachael wiped the tears from her eyes, but she still sobbed. "I didn't want Gar to know. If he did, then he would go after him and Adonis might hurt him."
Mrs. Logan thought about the name in her head. It sounded familiar. "Adonis?" She asked quietly to the sobbing girl. "Yeah." Rachael sobbed. "I remember him. Gar used to tell me about him when he was younger. He used to pick on Gar and mess with him when they were in elementary. "
Rachael sobbed once again. Mrs. Logan rubbed the back of the sobbing girl. "He's the one who. Raped you?" She asked. Rachael nodded. "Rachael, I really wish you would have told me sooner. I know you don't want Gar messing with him, but this is very serious." Mrs. Logan said with worry eyes.
"Please don't tell Gar." Rachael sobbed.
"I won't, but you will." Mrs. Logan said.
Rachael quickly looked up at her. "No. I can't."
"You have to. I'm not letting this stubborn boy ruin you. Tell Gar tomorrow, and I'll call the cops, but after you tell Gar. " Mrs. Logan said.
Rachael nodded as more tears started to run down her face. An hour passed and Mrs. Logan set Rachael to bed. She slowly walked out of the bedroom. She wiped tears from her own eyes and walked to the living room to wait for her husband to return from work.
