The Fight Never Ends

Ch.4

WHY ME?

I go back to school after a day of rest. My knuckles are a dark shade of purple. When I go to lab I hope Amy ignores Drake. She is sitting with him and they are talking. I listen in,

"You really want me to come?"(my sister)

"Yeah it will be fun, there might be a few fights on the beach, but what else is new"

"See you at 7, I'll pick you up"

He gets up and walks over to Nick and they start to talk. I go over to her and ask her

"What's going on?"

"What?"

"You're going to McCarthy's party?"
"Yeah, he's picking me up at 7."

"Wait till dad finds out, you'll be dead"

"Please don't tell him"

"Why not?"

"If you don't, I'll have Drake bring you too"

"Fine, but I'm only going to protect you, they have fights on the beach all the time. It can get pretty nasty"

"Yeah Ive heard about the fights"
The bell rings just when our teacher walks in. I go sit with Nick and Drake takes a seat next to Amy. All I have to say to myself is 'I think I just walked right into a trap' and 'I'm going to a McCarthy party' also I have to think what to say to my dad. What should I do? Why me?
