When we got to school, everyone was unusually quiet and Toby and I didn't know why. No one tried to bully us, and I had fun at school. I was actually starting to think that today was a lucky day until I figured out why everyone was acting strange. My ex boyfriend's new popular girlfriend died. I know this isn't a good thing to say, but I'm glad. She was the leader of the group that bullies Toby and I. I wonder who murdered her. As these thoughts ran through my head, I hadn't noticed Toby was trying to get my attention until he waved his hand in my face. "Huh?" "Kate...~" He whined childishly and pouted. "I was asking if you wanted to go to the courtyard for lunch!" I blinked and nodded. "Um...Yeah! Sure, why not?" He stopped pouting and looked concerned. "What were you thinking about? Are you okay?" I nodded once more. "Mhm. I was just thinking about Margaret's murder. I wonder who killed her?" He smiled at me strangely. I'm not sure how to describe it...it was the kind of hair raising type of smile. The kind of smile that sent cold chills down your spine. "I don't know, s-someone must have really h-hated her." He cracked his neck and I shook off the feeling of terror that had come over me. This was the waffle loving tourettes Toby for petes sake.
We both sat on the bench in the courtyard and started to eat our food, when Ashton walked up to us, his jerky smile infuriating me and making me want to smack it off his face. "Hey babe, who's this loser you're hanging out with?" I glared at him. "First off, don't call me that. We broke up a year ago. Second off, don't talk about Toby like that. And third off, what the hell are you doing here?" He laughed like I just told the funniest joke he had ever heard, his dark blue eyes sparkling. "You're adorable when you're angry. Obviously you're my new girlfriend now, since the other is...well, you know." He sat down and tried to wrap an arm around my shoulders but I shrugged it off. "Don't touch me! I don't know how you think you can just get any girl you want but it needs to stop asshole." He scowled and pulled me onto him, so we were pressed together and I struggled to be set free. "Hey! S-She said don't touch her!" Toby pushed him off of me and glared at Ashton ferociously. "What are you going to do you twitching freak? What? You think she likes you? You're so scrawny I could pick you up and throw you like a football!" Ashton smirked as Toby looked like he was about to kill somebody. "What do you know, asshole? She obviously hates you anyway! At least I don't force myself on her like some sort of fuck boy!" Ashton glared at Toby and gave a grin. "I know that today is her birthday." Toby looked shocked and turned to look at me for confirmation and instead received a punch to the face that knocked him over. Before I could blink they were fighting, and I was yelling at them to stop but I couldn't do anything. I was powerless.
When the teachers finally pulled them away from each other and got the crowd of kids that had appeared to go away, Toby had broken Ashton's nose and Ashton had bruises all over his body and face. Toby hugged me and I hugged back, grateful my only friend wasn't hurt. "I'm sorry I couldn't do anything. I'm useless aren't I?" I sighed and looked down after we pulled away. "Hey! Never say that about yourself. You have a ton of potential, you just don't know it yet." I looked up at him confused. "Know what, exactly?" "Uh, nothing. Don't worry about it."
