Chapter 3: Conflict, Resolution?

Carter stepped out of the car with a small tin in her hand. Why did I agree to this? Reluctantly, she made her way into the school and to her locker.

"So?" She heard a familiar voice behind her locker door. "What did you bring?"

Carter slammed her locker door to reveal Rosie who was sporting her famous smile. "Crapes… and Nutella…" she stated, shoving the tray into her hands.

"Well, I'm glad you picked a simple recipe." Carter rolled her eyes. "You couldn't possibly mess this up." She said as she inspected the tray.

"Just take it. I have to go to class."

"Right. Well, I have to write your name down for credit. How do you spell your name?"

"Just as it sounds: Carter Mason."

Rosie looked up from her clip board and bit her pen. "Okay, so F-R-E-A-K space S-"

Quickly, Carter snatched the board from her hand and read her name at the very bottom. "What is your problem?" she stepped closer to Rosie who continued to stand her ground. "You've been messing with me from the moment you met me."

"Have I?" she snickered.

"Yeah, ya have." Carter spat. "You made fun of my name, my clothes, and you even put me on the spot for me to go make this last minute bull shit recipe." She pointed at the tin tray in Rosie's hand.

Just as Rosie went to open her mouth, the first bell rang. "Well, I have to go to class." She said sweetly. "See you at lunch, and thank you for the crapes." She said over her shoulder. "They look delicious." Carter was left in the hallway with her mouth hanging open. Seriously, what the fuck?

Carter finally got used to the school. She knew who to speak to, where to hang out, and which stair cases got to her classes the fastest. She went into the empty bathroom during lunch to avoid any conflict with everyone. It seemed like every guy wanted to get up her skirt and every girl wanted to rip her throat out.

"Oh, hey, Freak Show." Rosie said in a very perky tone. "I didn't think you'd be in here."

"Really, Princess?" Carter huffed, keeping her eyes glued to her book.

Rosie stepped closer. "Why are you hiding out in here? Are you afraid that you're going to melt if you're out in the sun?"

"Could you just go back to your castle with your brain dead followers?"

She let out a soft chuckle. "Well, they're busy licking envelopes for me, sending out invitations for the leukemia fund raiser this weekend. Are you coming?"

"Why would you want me there?"

"You're right." She turned her back to Carter. "You probably don't have anything decent to wear anyway."

"Seriously, can you stop?"

She flicked her head over towards her direction. "Stop what?"

"Stop fucking with me!"

"Or…" Rosie smirked.

Carter stepped closer and invaded her personal space. "Or I'll just kick your ass." She hissed.

Rosie laughed. "You wouldn't."

Carter personally took it as a challenge and decided it was time to put the Princess in her place. "You think I wouldn't?" she chuckled only 3 cm from her face and jolted her arms forward, pushing the unsuspecting Princess into the sink.

She let out a sharp yelp and fixed her posture. "I'm wearing heels!" she spat as Carter continued to make her way towards her. "You'll get expelled."

"I'd rather that then to deal with you." She went for one more push but Rosie dodged it and did her best to ram her body into hers, which knocked the wind out of Carter and onto the tile floor. The two girls wrestled on the dirty bathroom floor and alternated whose body was on the floor.

The rest of the fight was quite a blur, but the next thing they knew, they were pulled apart and in the hallway and dragged out by security. Both of their clothes were tattered and their hair was a mess.

"What were you girls thinking?" The councilor shook her head in disappointment. "Rosalinda, you're the junior class president, and Carter, I know you're knew but that doesn't give you a free pass to do anything you want." Rosie nodded and did her best to hold her ice pack on her chin. "You know I have to punish you two."

Carter shrugged, and Rosie nodded once more. "You two, instead of detention, you'll be coming here for counseling, during your lunch period." Carter sucked her teeth. "You two will learn how to get along, and you two will be paired up for your next Family Life project. Understood."

"Yes ma'am." Rosalinda said in a low voice.

"Yeah."

"Good. I expect to see you girls tomorrow in my office, sixth period. Now, wait in the main office for your parents to pick you up."

Carter and Rosie glared at one another before they both stepped out with the security guard.
