Max's POV

I come back to back to my ealier statment: School's Hell.
All day I heard whispers about me. Not just me. About Fang, too. Also Riv and Iggy.
"Why do they hang out with her?"
"I always thought Jordan was a freak. At least she's with her own kind now..."
"I heard she and Fang are dating!"
That last one was one of Lissa's 'friends". I know, 'cause I passed her group in the hallway efore they stopped me to conferm it's true.
"I heard you were dating Fang." Lissa asked with a look of disgust on her face.
"How does it consern you?" I asked quietly, just wanting to go to writing class.
She growled, but then smirked. "Well, I'm sure it's not going to last long."
I didn't believe her, but I asked anyway. "How'd you mean?"
She grinned. "He's just playing hard to get."
I looked at her, not totally sure what she meant. "What?"
She rolled her eyes. "He'll be with me in no time. So don't get your hopes up."

Yeah...I couldn't stop laughing either.

I almost doubled over in laughter. She's just so...Bahaha!

"Yeah, you have good luck with that." I laughed.
She looked greatly offended. Her mouth was open in and O like a cartoon character and her eyes eye wide. That only added to my laughter.
Then she proceeded to call me a female dog.
"[female dog]!" She exclaimed before slapping me across the face.
Now, before I go on, let me explain something:
I don't have a lot of money. So I buy cheep-ass fountation to cover up the bruises on my face. So when Lissa slapped me, some of my makeup came off.
Showing an ugly bruise...
Yeah, you get the picture.
Before she could see anything, I covered my cheek with my hand. Now would be a good time to say something witty yet hurtfull. But no. I decided to run to the girls bathroom. Brilliant idea (please not the sarcastic tone).
When I got to the girls bathroom, after checking if I was alone, I looked in the mirror. And sure enough, there was a dark bruise strating from my jaw going up to my cheek. Crap. It's a good thing that I carry extra fountation just in case what I have on fades.
I applied the make-up on quickly, so I won't be late for class. But I was dreading what might come my way. Now, I wish I'd stay and confront her. Now people must think I went to cry to myself. I just made myself look even more pathetic.
Biting my lip, I waited a few more minutes. I stood there, staring at my reflection. Truth be told, I didn't like what I see. I can't pin-point what it is that I didn't like. I never cared about looks, so I seriously doubt it has anything to do with how my hair was in a messy ponytail with hair covering my left eye, or how my skinny jeans looked two sizes to big on me. Or that my dark grey turtle neck made me look emo...
I just didn't like my reflection.
I realized that I was biting to hard on my bottom lip, blood sliding down the cornors of my mouth, making me look like a vampire.
Fan-bloody-tasic.
I wiped off the blood, and made my way out. A couple of people running to get to class, me being one of them, hiding my face behind my hair.
I made it to class before the bell rang...and before the teacher got there, too. Yip-freakin'-ee
I sat between Fang and Iggy (this class you could choose your spot), but I notice a little blonde wasn't there...
"Where's Riv?" I asked to the two of them.
Iggy looked up from his doodles on his notebook cover. "She went to the princable's office with Lissa."
I gaped at him. Riv, from the short time I've known her, never got detention. It wasn't like she was little miss goodie two shoes or anything, she just never...went out of her way to cause trouble or drama.
"What happened?" I asked.
"She saw Lissa slapped you, and went over to 'talk' to her." Fang answered. "You okay?"
"You just kind of ran off..." Iggy added.
"Yeah, I'm fine...I knew that...I might have said something that would have gotten me detiontion, too, and didn't want to risk it." I lied. "What did River do?"
Iggy smirked. "Well, she just kind of ranted on, then Lissa slapped her, then she punched her back." Here, he laughed. "It wasn't like a b*tch slap, it was like a 'POW' kind of punch. Like, a punch a wresler would do. Like-"
"In her defense, Lissa slapped her hard enough to form a bruise." Fang said, probably tired of hearing Iggy replay the scene.
"Did they fight, or were they just throwing punches?" I asked.
"Well, it looked like Lissa wanted to fight, but then thought better of it. Whish was probably one of the smartest things she's done. You don't want to get into a fight with Riv..." Iggy said with a grimance, absentmindedly rubbing his jaw.

Jordan's POV

"...and then you punched her, Miss Mack?" Said the princable, Mr. Lincon.
"In self defense," Riv replide. Lissa was sitting next to her on the other chair, rolling her eyes.
"So she hit you first."
"Yes,"

"Why?"
Riv inwardly sighed. She already told him what happened...while he was texting someone on his Blackberry.

"She and my friend got into an arguement. Lissa slapped her. My friend walked away from her, and I went to talk to Lissa. I told not to hurt my friends, if she does I'll get you-"
"You'll get whom?"
River stopped herself from rolling her eyes. "You, sir. Mr. Lincon, is it not?"
"Don't be smart. Now, contuinue." He snapped.
"She said she'll do what she wants, and I said that that's stupid. Then she slapped me."
Mr. Lincon turned to Lissa. "How hard was the slap?"
She moved her hand to her cheek, and put on an innocent face. "Not hard enough to hurt. Her punch hurt sssooooo bad." She said in a quiet voice, sounding close to (fake) tears.
"Please!" Riv snapped. "I'm forming a bruise on my face! I hardly put any force into the punch. I could have hit you hard enough for you to collaspe on the floor, scrambling around the floor looking for your eyes so you can out them back into your skull, but I didn't."
turned to her again, looking a cross between disgusted and conserned. "That's an interesting mental picture, there..."

"The point is, she slapped me hard enough to make a bruise. I punched back in self defense." And on reflex... added Riv in her mind.

Mr. Lincon was quiet for a moment, before sighing. "Still, I expected more from our teen consoler..." He said, glancing at Riv, who was the teen consuler on Tuesdays and Fridays. "But it was in self defense, so I'll let it slid.
"Lissa, on the other hand..." He turned to Lissa. "You're suspended for five days for assult on two students.
She gasped. 'But, I'm, like, innocent!"

"Don't want to hear it. You two may go to class." He dismssed them.

River smiled to herself...she thinks she'll make a good lawyer..if they didn't annoy the crap out of her.

Sorry for Typ-os.
Please reveiw!
